I used to be nuts about swedish fish. I thought if I could just eat one thing the rest of my life it would be swedish fish. Well, early on when I moved away from home I sort of unintentionally tried it (lack of self control i suppose) and pretty much 70% of everything I ate for a week was swedish fish.

well, they aren't my favorite anymore, and i was wrong about being able to eat them the rest of my life. I haven't had a single fish since that week :) don't think i could stomach one more. they're gross >.<

A really fresh Baby Ruth. Most of them in the stores are already stale and hard. The fresh ones are really soft.

Swedish Fish are my kryptonite. I've been addicted my entire life.

Walgreen's pharmacies have them on sale this week, 2 14oz bags for $3. I stocked up.

That is false, it is clearly labeled as: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Salt, Honey, Gelatin, Confectioner's Glaze, Dextrose, Artificial Flavor & Titanium Dioxide Color, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red3, Blue 1.

Barf on the other hand, has lots of acids in it and is corrosive to the esophagus.
Candy corn is yummy delicious and it makes the tummy happy.

Has anyone checked this? I'm not convinced just because the FDA says they aren't made of vomit

Twix! Speaking of which, I am going to get some from the vending machine (even though it's a ripoff). :D

I read the ingredients right off of the bag.
If they are incorrect, then I can sue Brach's!
So, please let me know if they are in fact made of vomit and I am wrong.

In any case, they are delicious and highly addictive to me.

Anything from a local shop, Lamme's Candies, but my favorite are their chocolate raspberry truffles.

So rich most people can only eat one, but I'll down a whole bag if I don't hold back. :D

No, I always get addicted to new stuff like Hershey's Cookie & Cream or that Vanilla chocolate from Canterbury (?). Loved it so much, bought a box of them (20 or so), ate 2, then the novelty wore off. One year later, I still have a box of 17, then proceed to give away on Halloween.

Same goes for the "potted" candy like gummy bears, jujubes, mashmellow frogs, coke candies, gummy worms, sour keys. All of the previous I have bought a tub of, ate some, then got tired of them. I still have 3/4 tub full of jelly beans I got about a year back. Same goes for chips; I can't get enough of rip off $1 50g (or whatever) bags, but when I get the big one, it's hard to finish.

Something about "withholding love" that small bags or small "portions" do that makes them so much better...
