Yeah, Dove is quite good, but Necco wafers? I say it every year: shims. They are nothing more than shims. Useful for leveling a wobbly couch, surely not intended for human consumption.

And US smarties are just leftover placebos from RCTs.

Anyone know what happened to the fizzy smarties? I always assumed they were Canadian.

Ha! Very possibly. I still like 'em.

When I said Necco, I didnât necessarily mean the wafers! They make other stuff. I included them because, being in New England, Necco and Peter Paul are probably the two biggest candy companies which are actually local. Yet they were represented far less than the others I mentioned.
Poor quality is one complaint, but there is no accounting for individual taste. I find the sheer lack of variety to be a more grave concern.
My pardon⌠I had no idea! I hope their other stuff is better, and not just mismarketed machine-shop overstock.

This mixture is THE BOMB and completely addictive:
The bulk chocolate malted milk yogurt balls - Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate in equal portions is preferred + white yogurt pretzels. Almost equal amounts, with the yogurt pretzel amount just slightly more - say, for every 15 malted milk balls you have about 18 yogurt pretzels.
You can find these bin candies sometimes in airports, and it is a very soothing thing to eat while navigating an airport.

Thanks for the heads up. I wonât be sending you any of my coconut macaroons this year then. Or a case of coconut water, another tasty offering from the lovely Cocos nucifera.
If I had known about your longstanding coconut issues, I wouldnât have brought this up. Perhaps I can just ask you to consider the coconutâs many talentsâŚ

I think itâs more likely that few door-answering adults would be willing to part with them in the first place.

Just noticed I was cited in a footnote! FYI/FWIW: My comment in response to âPlease list any items not included above that give you DESPAIRâ was âChocolate coins and anything else that tastes like naphthalene.â

If anyone received and actually ate a Reggie Bar in 2015 it would immediately drop to the bottom of the list. They havenât been made in about thirty years, and werenât all that shelf stable.
