Thread 23489238

Every 80+ year old grandma or great aunt had these when I was a kid, but I never knew what they were called or where to buy them. I don't care what anyone says, it is the best candy that has ever existed. I am ordering a giant box of them to give to children this Halloween. If they hate them, they can go walk into traffic. We already have a bunch of undesirables in the neighborhood, so I am putting myself at risk because if one of these niglets trips and falls on my walkway, their parents will try to sue me because that's what they do n sheeeit.

this

i feel sorry for the artificial childhood all zoomers and beyond have/had/will have

>>23489240
Wow my mom has that exact same dish and Christmas tree. I used to love switching the little bulbs around during the holidays.

>>23489238 (OP)
that shit is disgusting
tasted like chemicals and cough medicine

>>23489238 (OP)
If you get a chance, Walmart sells this south american brand called "Colombina". It's actual sugar, not the syrup or syrup mix. Exactly the same kind of candy as the Bon Bons but way better and in more flavors. You can get a bag for like 92 cents.

>>23489238 (OP)
Checked. These and the Werthers were the Grandma candies I remember. My great Grandpa also had a duck that pooped out jellybeans.

3 muskateers or gtfo.
Just kidding op. Im not a fan of hard candies like that tho.

>>23489240
>>23489241
lol I have that exact bowl as well, we use it for sugar for coffee.

>>23489244
>a duck that pooped out jellybean
It's so weird you say that because my great aunt had a whicker duck filled with strawberry bon bons.

>>23489244
Werthers are based i liked the chewy ones tho.

>>23489238 (OP)
For me it's Brachs Jelly Nougats.

step aside niggers, it's werther's time

>>23489240
Yes, and due to humidity in our state my grandma's candy dish like that would turn into a solid block of candy.

>>23489238 (OP)
my grandparents always had these, never seen them since

>>23489246
My grandma had that dish too but she used it for her weed

Last Halloween a bunch of kids from out of neighbourhood took my entire bucket of candy. The mum would drive 100m, let them out to do 4 or 5 homes then drive away again. This year I’m waiting with a high pressure hose to get those fuckers.

>>23489244
For the hundredth time, that's a real duck, quit eating his shit

>>23489253
Well tell Granny Shaniqua bixnood for me.

>>23489249
This nigga knows his candy

>>23489246
i'm old so i grew up with them. i don't really like them but they are still the best candy ever.

Every Christmas, and it's like you can only find them at like Walgreens or CVS.

>>23489238 (OP)
I 'ate em

>>23489238 (OP)
These are garbage, but grandma always had plenty of butterscotch too

>>23489254
Trick is putting out an empty bowl with a take 1 sign. No only are you saving money, you're giving the kids a valuable lesson on morality, ethics, and the nature of greed. There is no greater candy than a red pill.

I member

I luv em.

>>23489259
i bought a tin on amazon last week. shan't be doing that again as I have no willpower and ate them all in 24 hours

>>23489265
They sell them year round at Walgreens. With inflation, they are like $6 or $7 a tin now, but when they are getting old, they still put them on sale for 2 for $5. I buy them then and hold them until Christmas and deliver the Danish cookies at the family gathering for Christmas without anyone knowing they are months old, and I had bought them on sale to save a couple dollars.

>>23489264
Amateur.

>>23489262
you absolutely need a giant handful of strawberry bon bons.

>>23489252
It's traditional French candy, but even in France it's not very common (in fact I'm French and I never had one).

>>23489240
>>23489253
My parents have one of these crystal dishes I think they inherited when my great aunt died. They have it on their kitchen counter filled with pocket change because they pay for 95% of things in cash. I do the same, as I have inherited the same paranoia.

I think my paternal grandmother tried to poison me. Mom said she wanted me dead. I never knew my other grandmother.
Must be nice to remember candy dishes.

Necco waifers
Salt water taffy
Candy corn
Licorice
Are all good

nice way to tell us you are mixed race without telling us you are mixed race.

>>23489238 (OP)
>>23489240
You retards have nostalgia syndrome. That was shit candy, just like your shit brains.

N words don't know

>>23489272
>Necco waifers
hated those fucking things, but that reminded me of these which every old person is legally obliged to have a box of for some reason

>>23489238 (OP)
when I was 5 I used to call them mario coins because they looked like the coins from the original smb. my neurologist has those in his office and I always grab at least 2 when I'm there.

>>23489276
I remember these things but I have no idea what they were called. They were weird little mint things.

>>23489275
fuck off memeflaggot. you are probably a muslim in like pakistan who has never had any of this candy.

>>23489277
Don't forget the Fig Newtons too

>>23489238 (OP)
Halloween is demonic and jewish in origin so I do not spread this aspect of hebrew american Satanism to Eastern Europe.

>>23489276
I remember these. I also have no idea wtf they were called. They were a little dry/chalky if I remember correctly.

>>23489238 (OP)
For me it's these things, Werther's, Fireballs, root beer barrels, peppermints, and >>23489276
these fucking things. Fucking mildly mint-flavored carunaba wax turds.

>>23489277
You are weak
>which every old person is legally obliged to have a box of for some reason
Usually for desserts like banana pudding.

>>23489282
It's Celtic in origin. Fuck off.

Holy shit, I had completely forgotten about those thing.

>>23489249
Brach's are underrated

>>23489269
They're surprisingly common in highway gas stations.

>>23489289
They make the best candy corn too

Stay away from sugar, it's extremely toxic.

Diner mints. They used to have them at the counter as you were leaving. Haven't had one in years.

>>23489270
Pay as you go, you'll never owe.

>>23489297
Cute of you to think its even real sugar.

>>23489238 (OP)
I remember these. I didn't like them very much my granda didn't buy them very often. My grandmother always had a tin of these fruit flavoured hard candies that were shaped like berries, lemons, etc. Flavoured naturally and didn't have anything too artificial in them. Also pic related.

>>23489238 (OP)
MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

>>23489303
They go by dinner mints, dessert mints, or diner mints but the actual candy is called butter mints

>>23489315
I'm 30 and I still have a box of these somewhere. I ate them all a long time ago but I still remember them fondly.

>>23489238 (OP)
hmm so they're called strawberry bon bons. who knew. hopefully when you order some they will come neatly wrapped and not with the gooey filling spilling out of cracks in the candy, like most grandma tier pieces

>>23489240
I ordered some ribbon candy and it showed up all broken. I was disappointed it’s a beautiful candy when it’s well made.

>>23489306
I've never seen those candies before. They look delicious, like Milkfuls which I never see in the stores anymore.

>>23489255
That’s a cat not a duck

>>23489240
I have that dish and use it for my cats water bowl. They broke the lid so I got rid of it.

>>23489267
I like the yellow one.

These were called nigger babies in Canada

>>23489238 (OP)
i love to slam a dozen of these things in my mouth at a time like a lunatic

My grandma had that bowl, too

>>23489272
>no Charleston chews
It's a decidedly young person candy masquerading as an old person candy, I'll give you that. All my real niggas doing the charleston like the stock market will never crash. Crack the champagne boys. The ticker never stops and the market will never die, and even then, parsnip soup for everyone if it does.

My favorite were Brachs Royals.
Old people grew up with hard candy, taffy, etc and the brands lose popularity.

Gummies are popular. I think traditional bars might have lost popularity because it’s a giant bar of fat. They aren’t making new candy bar products at a huge pace like 30 years ago. They are targeting the holidays with the same fun size product.

>>23489333
Shrinkflation is really hurting the quality of chocolates

>>23489333
>Brachs Royals
I remember those

>>23489243
Colombina has cute feet.

oh yes the best reason to go to crackerbarrel before it died.

Disgusting, cheap boomerslop which was probably invented during rationing.

>>23489238 (OP)
they are pretty good anon.

>>23489328
I love black licorice anything. I'll eat some nigger babies.

>>23489243
Shut the hell up.

fuckin FAG

Be careful not to choke, anon.

>>23489238 (OP)
Nigger, that's sugar and paint, get some fucking standards. Your whole existence is a joke.

>>23489306
I like them, but the variety with a chewy texture without filing and a stronger vanilla aroma

>>23489238 (OP)
Yeah these were great. I liked the flavoured Tootsie Rolls too.

I fucking hate knowing that a quarter of you fucks are as old as I am and had builder generation grandparents

>>23489238 (OP)
Nice blogpost, consider taking it to >>>/ck/ or something like that though

My grandma passed away September of 2024.
I miss her bros

>>23489259
The box of disappointment.

>>23489349
Mine died October 2021. I miss her too. My dad was an otr trucker and my mom worked long hours at a hospital so her and my great grandma basically raised me. Both got dementia, but we cared for them until the end, no nursing homes or anything... It was the very least they deserved.

>>23489238 (OP)
Didn't some based anon have 2 boxes , one with nice chocolate for the white kids and apples for the BIPOCS who just drive round every neighborhood and basically raid every house.


Hope someone posts it

>>23489238 (OP)
These were the fucking best, grandma always had them.

>>23489238 (OP)
>>23489240
Boomer here, they are considered "decoration candies." We put them out to look good and like we actually care, but we don't actually want you to eat them, so we often put nice looking but gross candies in there. But the strawberry lozenges are one of the better ones.

>>23489244
Cat crapped in the Koi Pond.

Werthers Originals? Every pedo in England used to have a pocket full of those.

It never gets easier.

You don’t want to go car trick or treating before sunset in a Walmart parking lot? My town is not traditional and parents take their kids to the nearby mall for trick or treating because somehow retirees still keep the fucking mall going

>>23489360
Can't have kids ToTing in neighborhoods anymore. It is against HoA rules. They might step on grass, damaging the blades thus lowering the property value. God forbid they might PRANK Der Boomerfuhrer of the local HoA. Eggs and toilet paper!

>>23489259
Why are you posting a tin full of thread and bobbins in a candy conversation?

>>23489238 (OP)
every Austrian knows these, but no one has ever eaten them

>>23489238 (OP)
man i wouldnt trust candy given out even in wrappers, you can inject them with alot of different stuff and get away with it.
like what if you got ahold of some blood infected with aids and put small enough amounts of it in there. it would be years before they found out they had anything

>>23489387
rohypnol is $5 a gram of the street, caramello koalas are half off as coles and halloween is right around the corner.

>>23489329
literally opened this thread just to make sure someone posted this pepe

>>23489392
>rohypnol
>first google responce: Rohypnol is an antianxiety medication. Because it can cause extreme drowsiness (or "blackouts"), the drug is often used in date rapes.

wtf people prescribed this shit? and yeah anons like this is why Halloween is fucking dumb

>>23489568
further google searches found that this is mainly a myth and hasnt happened in decades.
I honestly thought the world was a shitter place than it is, nice to be wrong about this and its safe

>>23489576
sorry its late, i was talking about the drugging candy not rohypnol

>>23489579
rohypnol or frank is now often used as a cleaner nickname for GBH on the street. it used to be known as fantasy. GHB is higher doses is an extremely powerful sedative that can knock a grown woman out for hours. it's real easy to get too.

>>23489591
>it's real easy to get too.
is it fun tho? im not able to drink since i got pancreatitis from drinking to much and idk what else to do thats cheap. weed costs way to much to smoke all day now with the cost of living

>>23489629
I knew a woman who would use it recreationally. she would put a few pinches of it in more than a litre of water and use it as a party drug though she admitted that she's fucked up the amount before and freaked out and nearly died. if you want a cheapish, safeish and legal drug that isn't alcohol kava is okay, if you can get pass the shitty taste.

>>23489649
>kava
shit you can get that from wollies, might give this a shot. you are a legend. you done it before?

>>23489679
I've done it before in vanuatu. its not particularly psychoactive, about the same as alcohol, in a larger dose it make you really relaxed and pretty stress free, also music sounds better and the colour red looks better for some reason.

>>23489792
get the powder by the way. the capsules aren't strong enough to to much even is you take half a bottle.

>>23489794
you saved me, i was eyeing off the caps since you mentioned the taste.
found a site selling Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds and plants so thats gonna be fun

My greatgrandma used to have These candies in a decoratet jaw
Damn i Miss that old Lady

>>23489818
interesting. like angels trumpet it's not illegal to import and grow for aesthetic reasons. also it seems kava is half off at coles tomorrow. so I might get a bag to try and post a trip report.

>>23489832
yeah shaman-australis has a heap of plants that are like that if your interested.
