My mom makes tamarind juice for me when i visit since i like it so much. Wouldn’t be too hard to add more water to get agua fresca. One can easily find the pods in practically any hispanic market, and sometimes you find the pulp packaged up for sale as well.

I’m down to third-tier Halloween candy consumption. I only eat candy that was brought in by co-workers who have leftovers. Since I’m not very diligent, I don’t even get the pick of THAT, so no matter what I like, I basically get candy corn.

I always have good luck with Smarties. People seem to overlook them for the high-end candy early on, and because of their shape or weight or whatever, they end up sinking to the bottom.

Since we are rural, we never know if the kids will show up or not. Sometimes, vanloads will decide to come up our road. We always buy plenty of candy, just in case. But we buy what we like ourselves, in case we get stuck with it. I prefer peanut butter cups.
When we are in north carolina for 10/31, we still live in the middle of nowhere, so we took the kids to the nearest town, which is also tiny. But all of the businesses and residents put tables out on the main street, and thousands of rural kids show up and do the mile-long stroll. My kids have outgrown it now, but it was nice. Most of the parents and shop owners would dress up as well as the kids, and there was some wonderful creativity.

Even as a kid i wasn’t huge on eating a lot of candy, so i probably would’ve ended up with the candy no one wanted. So i would hide my candy in my super secret place… and i would entirely forget about it until a week before the next halloween.

Smarties are good. Do they even sell smarties outside of Halloween? I thought they grew out of the bottom of the trick-or-treat bucket.

Pretty sure they do, but Halloween keeps me stocked the rest of the year.

I didn’t snub tic tacs. Does that make me a bad person?

Are you the Trump Administration’s new propaganda minister for the USDA?
Of course not! Everybody knows tomatoes are fruits, not vegetables.

I have never seen those Smarties before. Perhaps we have bridged alternate candy universes.

Nope! I will have to add a stop to my post-lottery-winning candy tour of the world. Blood Glucose willing, If I make it out of the Haribo factory and Gummibärenland alive, that is.

They look a lot like off-brand Fizzers to me. Maybe Refresher knock-offs.
ETA: No Artificial Colours? I AM DISAPPOINT.
