swedish fish

reesetee I strongly suggest you avoid the watermelon flavor. Really, really awful. You'd need a ginger Altoid to get rid of the taste. ;-) Feb 5, 2008

jennarenn I *have* had the chocolate Twizzlers, and I admit that they confused me. They have the texture of licorice and the flavor of chocolate. Now if you found something with the opposite features, I could be a fan. Feb 5, 2008

treeseed The nearest Trader Joe's to me is two hours away! Now that's suffering. Feb 4, 2008

arcadia reesetee-- I feel your pain. Our Trader Joe's is 30 minutes away, but we would be lost without it. Feb 4, 2008

treeseed Have you had chocolate flavored Twizzlers? Well, that's an odd little sideroom of heaven. Feb 4, 2008

reesetee I miss Trader Joe's. Used to live 5 blocks from one, but now I'm about an hour away. Feb 4, 2008

jennarenn Update: Liquorice Altoids have surfaced in a local Trader Joe's. There was much rejoicing! Feb 4, 2008

reesetee Ginger Altoids? Yum! They destroy half of the taste buds on your tongue, but it's worth it! (They *are* curiously strong.) Jun 29, 2007

chained_bear I feel like that about the Ginger Altoids. I know only one or two people who like them besides me. Of course, as one of them was interviewing me for a job at the time I found out, that was a very good thing... Jun 29, 2007

jennarenn Really? I'm pretty surprised. I thought that my mom and I were the only two people on the planet who liked them. Jun 29, 2007

chained_bear Wow, I hate liquorice (or licorice even), but I did love those Altoids. Did they really stop making them? How sad... The ginger ones are good as well.

Sweeee-dish fish! Sweee-dish fish! It's fun to chant. Jun 29, 2007

jennarenn Oh yes! Leaving the Buttered Popcorn and Peanut Butter for my sister. Jun 27, 2007

reesetee So jennarenn, I gather you are the type to pick out the black licorice-flavored jellybeans? Jun 27, 2007

jennarenn Yes, any form of licorice an absolute favorite in the jennarenn household. Especially black Twizzlers and the now-defunct Liquorice Altoids. Yum! Jun 27, 2007

reesetee Oh, now Twizzlers--*that's* good eatin'! But I must disagree on chocolate. It runs in my blood.

Not literally. That would just be gross. Jun 26, 2007

uselessness Chocolate's not bad, just overrated. I've always been more of a Swedish fish and gummi bear type, personally. And Twizzlers! Mmm, Twizzlers. Jun 26, 2007

reesetee But how *can* they? No chocolate! Jun 26, 2007

uselessness Trust me, my friend, you won. I loves me some PB cups, but the Pieces? No thanks. Swedish fish make me happy all over. Jun 26, 2007

reesetee So I hit the vending machine today in the hope of getting some Reese's Pieces (even though they're too sweet) and what did I get?

That's right. Swedish fish. Some days you just can't win. Jun 26, 2007

seanahan I just had some today after being enticed by this post. May 30, 2007

uselessness $2.04? Wait a second... May 29, 2007

seanahan I went into a Walgreen's once, swedish fish, 2 bags for $5! Well, that was too many swedish fish, so I only bought one bag, for the price of $2.04, and yes, that's right. May 28, 2007

uselessness Yum. I haven't had these in ages. May 28, 2007
