I also like Jolly Rancher but not their new chewy candies. Poor quality.

I don't know. I think these companies must be outsourcing or something.

It's supposed to be a mellocreme-type candy like their candy corn. Maybe you
got a stale bag, or you don't like candy corn?

I'm a big fan of candy corn, if it contains a good amount of honey.

Maybe I got a stale bag.

I've had candy corn that couldn't be considered anything other than
fresh and I still don't like candy corn. What's to like about it? I
can't find a single positive thing to say about it other than it looks
like pretend corn.

The Pooh idiot is like that too. "I can't find a single positive thing to
say about it." It's like now that Andy has taken a break from posting worthless shit, Christopher has ramped up to fill the niche.

There is worse than candy corn; circus peanuts.

We have a son-in-law who loves black jelly beans and I order pounds of them
at Christmas from the Jelly Belly folks. Never hear a complaint except that

Oh, no complaints with those. I love Jelly Belly's sour jelly beans.

I love the sour lemon. Have to eat at least 3 of them at a time (of the same
flavor) to get the full effect though. I find that also to be true with
Cadbury cream eggs (have to eat 3 to really get a sense of the quality of
the chocolate).

I'm a huge fan of jelly beans but I rarely buy Jelly Bellys, they are
too small, their texture is too tough, and their myriad flavors are
much too unnatural.

I adore licorice jelly beans but Jelly Belly tastes the least like
licorice.

I prefer the cheapo stupidmarket jelly beans, like Brachs brand.

Candy corn *is* pretty vile. I don't remember there ever being any
honey in it, either. It's always been just little triangular doodads
of semi hardened yellowish corn syrup with no discernible personality
at all. Even cotton candy is more interesting.

My easter basket always had all the black licorice jelly beans-no else
liked them :-)

Mix up a bowl of red apple and green apple Jelly Bellys, add miniature
choc chips, Kraft caramel chips, and chopped pecans and you have a
spectacular gourmet caramel apple on a spoon.

That does sound delicious.

Love those red apple Jelly Bellys, and caramel. Maybe a little butterscotch.

I've acquired my own taste for Circus Peanuts and some other strange candies.
I happen also to like:
Mary Janes
Necco Wafers
(BOTH now by Necco)
Candy Corn
C.Howards Violet Candy
anything licorice
Annabelle'sTM Rocky Road

the two chicken candies (LOL)
Peeps
Chick O'Stick
All of those among the oddball nostalgia candies plus the usual "cool" Hersheys/Mars/Nestle etc.

PS I also LOVE Jelly Belly candies,too, much much better (more variety) than regular Jelly beans. As I've said, I have a huge passion for ANYTHING licorice.

Didn't even know of Jolly Rancher (HARD candies if ever there were some) SOFT candies.
