LOL Thanks. I was only partly sure I knew what I was talking about, but just did not have the patience for any pedants today.

I have a buddy from college who’s parents immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1990’s from Edinburgh, when RBS was establishing their Citizens Financial brand in the states. He was more or less Americanized, as he moved when he was 10, but to hear his folks describe it, I thought that being cranky was fun for the…

As an American Methodist with deep Danish roots, all I can say is we love three things in this world:

Nerds have definitely maintained their appeal, as long as it’s not that newfangled Nerd Rope. I’m deep into a Haribo gummy phase but I decided to do some sleuthing and BEHOLD:

If you ask me he’s not playing ENOUGH golf. I want him out there every day. I want him playing 36 on Fridays. I want him living on the golf course. Anything that keeps him away from trying to president is boon to the country.

Especially since they made it legal (or whatever don’t come at me with the terminology) that the next in line doesn’t have to be male.

I’m pretty sure they have, all his depressing life.

The salty licorice isn’t even made with table salt; it’s made with ammonium chloride! In no way do I believe that was an intentional invention; you just know it had to be the work of a Dutch Calvinist who knocked some cleaning agent into a batch of licorice once and was like “I’m not going to waste all this money by…

Tart n Tiny’s!! And Nerds that came 2 flavors to a box with cool little dispensers on top! Do you remember the giant chewy sweet tarts? Man I loved Wonka candy.  

*shudder* salty licorice. Not as bad as lutefisk, but...

The last person who liked licorice flavored anything died defending Gettysburg from the Confederacy

Well, you see, in this case, I had totally excellent reasoning of I just wanted to shoehorn skittles in there, and proper comparisons be damned. Sorry bout that.

I live just north of an established American Dutch Calvinist cloister in West Michigan (the really shitty one, that gave the American political landscape such luminaries as Betsy DeVos, the VanAndels, and the inimitable shitheel, Erik Prince), and I concur that the Dutch love their garbage candy (they also are the…

Some people are too mean to die.

100%. Never trust anyone younger than 147 who buys licorice flavored candy on purpose. They are not to be trusted.

You are incorrect, but only because NO m&ms are good.

I’m so happy to see some lemon defenders here! Best Starburst. And second best is strawberry and lemon squished together.

Eww, peanut butter m&m’s??!! I always wondered who bought them. Why not Reese’s Pieces?

Dude. Everyone acts like the peanut m&ms are better but they’re clearly not.

All Starbursts are delicious. However, only green M&M’s are good, all the other colors taste awful.
