For me it would be candy corn, or dots.

How about circus peanuts?

The first bite of circus peanuts tastes to me like an alien artificial intelligence had to create a sugary treat and only had petroleum by-products to make it with.

The second bite tastes like accepting your fate.

Wait... Is it always the same circus or a brand named circus? What are circus peanuts?

Edit: Nope found it. WTF? Do they taste like peanuts?

Do they taste like peanuts?

No. They taste like chewy sugar rubber goo. Idk how to properly describe it, but I haven't eaten them since childhood.

They taste like candied styrofoam to me

[โ€“] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Candied Styrofoam is a good description.

Maybe once every two or three years I get in the mood for circus peanuts. I eat maybe five of them, horribly regret every decision in my life that has led to me purchasing this bag, then vowing to never touch them again.

[โ€“] bizarroland@fedia.io 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Same. The instant it touches my tongue I'm transported back to being a kid and my grandmother thinking these were amazing treats and giving them out to us and then getting really upset if we didn't finish them.

And then I remember I have to actually eat the rest of it. So I finish off the first one and then I see the tiny little 59 cent bag that's only got four more of them in it and I feel like it would be a waste of my money and my effort in acquiring the circus peanuts and so I force myself to eat the rest of the bag and then vow to never eat them again.

Until I forget and get another bag.

Cut them up and melt them into something edible. Things don't have to be uses in the form they come in.

[โ€“] bizarroland@fedia.io 1 points 38 minutes ago

I'm not 100% certain they would melt. And I'm not going to spend my own time and money to try to fix everything that's wrong with them.

If you have an idea on a way to make them better, how about you implement them and then make millions of dollars selling them to ignorant rubes like myself?

I love whoppers, candy corn, dots, and circus peanuts...
