You buy Peeps in this year’s after-Easter clearance so you can eat them next year.
I’m with you. When the closing was announced, there was a coincidental buy one, get one sale at my local CVS, so now I have a large ziplock bag of about two dozen rolls carefully tucked away for future enjoyment.

I think y’all have the Necco love/hate positions well-covered.
Personally, I still pine for my old school Lifesavers Cream lollipops:
This crap just isn’t the same:

I’m hoping that when they return, they start using the neural-net-generated messages. Much better than what they used to have, anyways.
Yeah, who knew? I always assumed they sat around for years before they got sold. I recollect as a kid, having some that ended up in the back of a drawer, found them years later and they tasted exactly the same.

But, but, but - that’s the secret ingredient!
Spangler also makes these:
Circus Peanuts?
They represent a good value if you run with a band of no-good two-bit grifters like I do.
They are:
• $1.79.
• Filling.
• Rather enjoyable if you come from a grifter background.
• Mostly air, so lo cal.
So a real win for those of us with rather inscrutable palettes.
But, as Cookie Monster would put it, Circus Peanuts are SOMETIMES food. Om nom nom.

Thanks for the laugh (out loud; my son came over to see what was so funny. Now he’s hovering over my shoulder, supervising).
Thanks for the vocabulary lesson
Here’s a suggestion for a heart-shaped substitute candy, with the added benefit of not tasting like chalk:
They don’t have messages, but… dude. Write a note. It’s not worth it!

Is it… an affirmation? a fuck-off “suggestion”? The ambiguity makes that one good.

Seriously - I hate to be that guy (and I’m as nastalgic as the next guy) but who the F cares about this - terrible tasting “candy” that was lame and undesirable 50 years ago… I am nostalgic for something that really matters .

I guess I’d say it’s one thing to say “never liked them much, not a fan” and it’s another to say WHO THE FUCK CARES
A lot of people do. I’m sure there’s people out there who like a lot of things I don’t like, but it doesn’t anger me that they do.
