Snickers, 100 grand, Baby Ruths, and Butterfingers all suck.
Mounds and Almond Joy also suck.

I know a lot of people love it – but I can’t stand black licorice.
I can’t stand to eat it but you can actually cook with it if you–I’ll just stop now. I think I’ve created enough chaos on Deadsplinter for one day.
There is never too much of you, Cousin M.
Raises hand.
I love fennel. But oddly I am not fond of black licorice.
That gross Darrell Lea black liquorice, no. But proper saltlakrits or salmiakki, hell yes!
Wow, you’re insane. You don’t like Snickers?? I get that some people find the texture and tooth-stickiness of Butterfingers unappealing (I love it), but no one hates Snickers!
I hate anything with white chocolate. White chocolate just tastes like sweetened Crisco.
I’m also a certified White Chocolate Hater. That being said, I encourage you to try the white chocolate Reese’s PB cups. Seriously. They are incredible–and I fucking hate white chocolate.
I am not a chocolate racist & love all chocolate, though very dark chocolate & a good Cab/Syrah blend is heavenly.
Lol at chocolate racist. You are very correct about dark dark chocolate and cabernet.
I have heard this opinion before… but like… why would I do that when regular reeses are so good?
I honestly don’t remember why I first tried them–I think my thought process at the time was “If anyone can make white chocolate not suck it’s Reese’s.” They have their own place in the world–neither better nor worse than the other. Just different.
You can actually make your own far superior white chocolate very cheaply and easily. All you do is [Stop typing, Mattie, stop typing. Close the browser and get away from the monitor…]
No, please go on!
I have to go back into the archives for this. The last time I made it was three or four years ago. I remember cocoa butter, sugar, something else, a little vanilla extract…A double boiler. Here’s a good tip. If you come across a recipe that calls for a double boiler, heat a saucepan half-filled with water to boiling. Over it, place a bowl, it shouldn’t touch the water, metal works best I’ve found. In the bowl put in the ingredients that your recipe calls for. That’s a DIY double boiler.
I remember the white chocolate doesn’t require a candy thermometer, which is another good thing about it. When it’s done pour it into something shallow that can take the heat, smooth it so there’s a flat surface on top, and refrigerate. I have this vintage ceramic candy dish in the shape of Santa’s face (don’t ask) so I pour it into that. Then, when it’s chilled and hardened, I pop it out onto a plate with the top/flat side down and Santa’s face staring up. Dig in!
I’ve got a small saucier (sloped sides, no corners) that fits nicely in a larger saucepan (straight sides, flat bottom). When stacked together, the handle of the saucier keeps it suspended a few inches above the base of the saucepan. I highly recommend this setup for an improvised double boiler, especially if you’re short on metal mixing bowls.
In your defense (and in Butcher’s?) I should likely refrain from…
wait…licorice root tea is my bag so to speak. It’s good for you, too.
I feel I have lived the wrong life because in the right life I should have been at some of those Cousin Matthew shindigs of which you speak.
Dark rum sucks, though…point me toward the olive platter.
I put licorice root tea in a very different category from black licorice candy though. I kinda like the tea, and it’s a good stomach settler. The candy is awful.
PSA to you black licorice lovers though – be aware eating too much of it can literally kill you. It lowers your potassium and too much has actually caused heart attacks. I don’t know how there isn’t a warning label on it.
You are way more right than I am good at segues.
What about Jaegermeister or Sambuca?
There are reasons that we keep threatening to pop up on his doorstep!
Oh dark rum is my favorite.
Can’t stand gin though.
Same
Same here. Gin is like getting a mouthful of Christmas tree. Rum is delicious.
I don’t like Snickers at all.
And I like peanuts, that’s not the problem. I just don’t like actual peanuts and chocolate.
…
that’s bad?
I don’t even know how to respond to that question.
I don’t like white chocolate by itself, but the Milka milk+white bars are my favorite. And I won’t turn down a white choc Kitkat or Reese’s pb cup.
I’ve eaten a white chocolate KitKat because it was handed to me, and it was acceptable, but far less enjoyable than a regular KitKat.
Fwiw, I don’t expect much out of American mass produced chocolate products anyway. 90% of them are one step above candle wax and a plain Hershey bar is just straight garbage trash.
Snickers & Butterfingers are awesome & even better in ice cream form but the sticky tooth thing of butterfingers is annoying. Peeps are an abomination that should die in the pits of hell!
Peeps are great as decor. Also great for getting drunk and using for snowball fits with people (outside).
But agree, they are disgusting as a “food” item.
TYPING FAIL
meant to say “snowball fights”
My unpopular opinion here is that I actually enjoy peeps. I mean, they’re just marshmallows covered in sugar. I feel like too many people expect too much from them.
Peeps are awesome. Have you tried the rootbeer flavoured ones??
I have not, and I was unaware of them… I bet I’d like them.
Oooooh i need those. I will eat almost anything made from sugar *raccoon emoji*
Bit-O-Honey and black licorice are both basically war crimes. Also Good’n’Plenty.
Bit-O-Honey and Good ‘n Plenty, sure. But black Licorice? I’m disappointed in you Luigi.
I’ve hated black licorice since I was a kid and accidentaly bit into a fennel stalk thinking it was celery.
That would do it!
Heretic.
Smarties are bullshit. So is any candy that combines chocolate with orange.
Completely agree with you regarding Smarties and anything chocolate and orange. Just don’t do it. They don’t mix. Don’t ruin oranges and chocolate with that abomination.
I was once a judge in a cookie baking contest and someone was stupid enough to submit a chocolate/orange cookie. It came in dead last and my comment about it was that it was a crime against humanity.
My son says “if it isn’t chocolate, why waste the calories?” I’m not sure where he learned that outlook…
Hello!
I’m putting that on a t-shirt.
I don’t care for most mass-produced candy except Reeses’s Cups. *chef’s kiss*
Do you have an Aldi near you?
If you do, GET THE ALDI BRAND PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
Better than Reese’s, I shit you not.
We do have an Aldi, I’ll try them.
I also am obsessed with the Aldi brand soft baked chocolate chip cookies. If you like em basically like cookie dough, this is your item 👍👍
Candy Bars, Ranked (by a vegan who no longer eats them):
I don’t know what a Crispy Crunch and a Mr. Big are.
Probably Canadian candy, which means it’s too polite to make you fat.
I Googled it. The Crispy Crunch sounds like a Clark bar, I liked those as a kid. The Mr. Big looks nasty. And surprisingly neither of them appears to have any avocado in them.
Literally LOL’d.
For the American’ts in the room (I honestly didn’t know Crispy Crunch and Mr. Big weren’t American), Mr. Big used to be YUGE…BIGLY…but in the late 90’s they became “Mr. Same size as all of the other ones” although they never changed the handle, for some reason.
If y’all don’t know what Crispy Crunch is, GTFO with your American populism and whatnot. No need to politicise candy bars (by the way, they are called chocolate bars not candy bars FFS)…
While you’re here, miss me with your Snickers because Aero only aims toward Mars and not the Milky Way.
And for the record, I like my Coffee Crisp.
I love you crazy Canadians!!!
LoL🤣🤣
“by the way, they are called chocolate bars not candy bars FFS”
But not ALL of them have chocolate in them…. so “candy bars”😉
Pearson’s Salted Nut Roll is one of them.
It’s super common around here… as is their BEST candy bar (although that one’s not vegan, because chocolate😕), the Nut Goodie–
Not to be confused with Brach’s abomination, the similarly-named “Maple Nut Goodie”🤢
The Pearson ones are INFINITELY superior in flavor & texture… a TOTAL sugar-bomb,!
But *perfection* when it comes to maple-flavored candy that *isn’t* just the real maple sugar/candy derived from boiling down syrup😉
I forgot that there are milk products in the Salted Nut Roll…. so those aren’t vegan, either😖
But they ARE still a candy bar!🤗
LOL. Crispy crunch is so good Mr. Big’s are gross. My favorite chocolate bar is a Mars bar and a caramilk.
I’d probably like Caramilk, I like Cadbury chocolate.
You would like it😊
Clark bars were righteous.
So good
What’s that abooot? Probably something Tim Horton would serve melted on pancakes
LOL!!
Can you hear me as the whistler through this black comb? My friends call me Blaine, but you can call me snow boarder patrol.
No one is going to understand this comment and, admittedly, I’m unsure if even I do.
I see what you are trying to do. Bonus points if u can tell me how many Tim Hortons between Blaine & Whistler/Blackcomb?
Welp! I haven’t been on I5 or taken my weekly drive up the Sea To Sky highway since 2010 but let me guess?
Assuming one goes through White Rock without going through it through it, one would be there. And if you drive around Surrey to Delta and Annacis Island, one would be there…but going through Richmond, you’d pass three before you reach YVR (but you’d have to go out of your way) and then 4 (or 8 depending on how far out of the way)? before False Creek (if you go out of your way).
You’d pass 6 or so (depending on the way) before Stanley Park. There used to be one near the Studio where shows like X-Files were shot (watching X-Files is awesome if you know Vancouver because every episode prior to Duchovny whining about weather which moved it to LA is like a game of “guess where Vancouver”) but I don’t think it is there anymore.
Then you’d hit the Trans-Canada in West Van and although there is a great “we’re us but not them” spot in Horseshoe Bay, I don’t think there would be a Tim Horton’s until you reach Squamish…which, btw, has a great brew your own beer spot…and a Tim Horton’s…but other than a few killer whales and unnecessary dynamite of mountain, you see little else until you get there.
There is pretty much nothing but beautiful boonies the rest of the way (at least until the 2010 Olympics) so the next one would have to be in Whistler…one in which no one shows any type of respect because only hoity toity beaner-hat wearers even go there in the first place? (no offense) and another one that I doubt anyone has been to since Tim Horton played hockey…even though it wasn’t there then.
How’d I do?
You got more than me, we usually do truck crossing & skip Van unless we have time to get out Asian food fix or do North Van Earls. Not sure what brew your own beer place, bern to Howe Sound & some other small brewery near it. I hope they let us in again soon, I miss BC
In my imagination, all Canadian candy is flavored with bergamot.
Which is great for aromatherapy!
And bath bombs.
Gummi bears are the best candy.
*Mic drop*
Are you okay? You accidentally typed that Gummi Bears are the best candy.
@Hannibal, you made me cackle. Comment of the day.
@Hannibal No mistakes were made. I did in fact, inform you of a certain truth. Gummi bears are the best candy 🙂
Weed gummies 🙂
Haribo.
Albanese are better than Haribo!
@brightersideoflife Sacrilege!
To bring this full circle, I had a German girlfriend that loved black licorice gummy bears! Awful!!!
They are only supposed to be FISH, and they are also supposed to be salted!😉
Haribo IS the only appropriate brand of Gummi!😉😈😁
Star Mix, Smurfs, Sour Smurfs, Sour Streamers, Cherries, Gummi Rings, Gummi Alphabets, soooo many others, and OF COURSE, the classic Haribo Goldbears & sour bears…..
But Happy Cola can suck it!!!
They are 100% TRASH CANDY!🤢🤢🤢
See also the weird “opaque” Gummi types, like Gummi Frogs🤮
You know what you definitely should not do when under the influence of a pot gummy? Go on Amazon and order the 4lb jar of Jelly Belly jelly beans. It’ll arrive too late to matter, but you’ll still eat em.
Four pounds.
Solid Point. NO LIES DETECTED!!!
“cream and cookies”/”oreo” flavored stuff is bullshit.
The only good thing about oreos is the filling, and all they put in “cream and cookies” stuff is aquarium carbon.
Might be aquarium carbon, but it’s TASTY aquarium carbon!😉😁😈
1. Chocolate and Orange is the BEST flavor combination, followed by a tie between Chocolate/mint, and chocolate/maple.
2. Aside from Bit-o-Honey (individually wrapped, not that “candy bar” nonsense!), ALL candy with Almonds is TRASH CANDY.
But Bit-o-Honey is DELIGHTFUL!
3. Peeps must be properly aged (so they get that slight “crust” of sugar, rather than being super-soft), but are lovely in the original, marshmallow, flavor… all other Peeps are trash candy.
4. Haribo is the ONLY correct brand of Gummi (although original Sour Patch Kids are also allowed!).
Trolli=trashcandy, because their texture is overly-soft… Brach’s is similar to Trolli in the “too soft category, store-brands *might* be acceptable, and Swedish Fish are not just TRASH CANDY, they are an ABOMINATION!!!
5. Nougat is terrible, and the only way it becomes acceptable, is to cover it in Caramel, Peanuts, and Chocolate–so as to render the Nougat unrecognizable (i.e. Snickers😉)
6. Diet Mountain Dew is TERRIBLE, and should never have been allowed to call itself “Mountain Dew,” also ALL the flavors & colors of Mountain Dew–aside from the original “visibly unhealthy yellow-green”** are an ABOMINATION!
**”Regular” Dew, “Real Sugar,” Caffeine-Free Mountain Dew, and Black-label/Dew Zero, are the ONLY acceptable versions of Mountain Dew!😈
I was with you on your first three points (though I wouldn’t call chocolate/orange and chocolate/mint better than plain chocolate, but I do enjoy them), but then you lost me completely. I vastly prefer Swedish fish and soft gummies to the crazy chewy types (which are more likely to be vegetarian anyway – pectin doesn’t set up as hard as gelatin), nougat is wonderful, and all mountain dew, including the original, is trash.
Trolli are so. awful. I hadn’t tried them in years and recently got a buy something, get them free deal. I felt they weren’t up to snuff of the value of $0.00
Chick-fil-a is way overrated.
‘Titanic ‘ was a terrible movie.
American football is a horrible sport.
I don’t like dark chocolate.
I *do* like raisins. Not necessarily in candy (and not in potato salad you fucking weirdos) but definitely in baked goods or cereal, etc.
Non-food unpopular opinion: leggings aren’t pants.
Who puts raisins in potato salad…? I also enjoy raisins in baked goods. Oatmeal raisin cookies, raisin bread, cinnamon rolls with raisins… yum. Also a fan of them in candy – raisinettes are great.
I always think it’s weird raisins get so much hate – they’re dried grapes and everyone loves grapes.
And I’m a recent convert to the leggings are pants group. Leggings have come a long way, and if you have thick ones that aren’t see through and don’t show your underwear lines, they’re pants. I got some nice ones with pockets even, and I think that’s what swung me.
I don’t know if anyone actually does, but it’s kind of a running joke about white people fucking up food (like on The Root). Which, we do. And also a lot of people are vehemently anti raisin! Like oatmeal raisin cookies actually killed their parents or something. But I like them.
I think they’ll never be pants *for me.* I certainly see people in them that don’t look like they just rolled out of bed, and there are totally cute patterns I’d like to wear. But I’m one of those people who is always cold and I just can’t imagine leggings would be warm. See also: people who try to convince me that dresses and tights are warm.
Oh, now that you say it, I do remember raisin potato salad jokes on The Root. I guess someone probably did it, like that weird peas in guacamole thing that happened.
I was surprised that the recent pockets leggings I bought were as warm as they are, but that’s like… for early fall weather. I don’t expect them to be winter pants. I am also baffled by people who wear dresses in the winter. I do own fleece lined tights (which… I don’t know what makes them tights and not leggings), and they’re nice, especially to layer with.
“Like oatmeal raisin cookies actually killed their parents or something.”
Not my parents, just my trust of adults, as a child…
Oatmeal & raisin cookies, made with oatmeal run through a blender, so that they resemble chocolate chip cookies, taste like sadness and betrayal…
And *THAT* abomination–of finely-grinding the oatmeal, so that “it’s not so lumpy,” but to the untrained eye, it LOOKS like a chocolate chip cookie(!!!)–is why I (and many others I’ve met!), so vehemently LOATHE oatmeal-raisin cookies😉😂🤣
I have never heard of that happening! Oatmeal raisin cookies should just be allowed to BE. Separate and what they are. Un-blended, I don’t understand how one can mistake an oatmeal raisin cookie for a choc-chip cookie, though. Now you’re just not lookin.
