Hi Chew is vastly superior. Excellent choice.

Reminds me of my favorite light on the way to work

The kiwi ones have little poppy(?) seeds in them mimicking the seeds in an actual kiwi. I'm not a fan.

If a fan was posting on Lemmy then I’d be accepting my new AI overlords.

My favorite color is green, and I've been arbitrarily favoring green candies my entire life. I have had like 2 bags of candy EVER that had more green than any other flavor. It is always like this. Too many green haters out there

Not sure if that's OT, but what stops such companies from packing with paper? All this plastic is just... 😦

[–] collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Moisture. Sugar candy gets all sticky, and paper would never come off

[–] original_reader@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Waxed paper, maybe? There has to be something better than this.

[–] collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some candy comes in waxed paper, but wax is also a petroleum product so…

[–] GullibleOyster@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I guess if you wanted to reduce waste you could supply it as logs that get cut off from? That way there is at least less plastic per piece

[–] original_reader@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

The "wanting" seems to be the issue. Both with the consumer and the producer.

Ideas for alternatives

As long as we buy and companies sell, change will be extremely slow. Probably too slow.

Write the manufacturer and complain (in a polite manner). They’ll try to make it right in some way.

As someone you has a general dislike of "red" flavors, this really hits me.

I'm mildly annoyed that the columns of sweets are not top- or bottom-justified, which would make them look like a bar chart.
