The Art and Science of Candy Ranks: A Journey Through America's Favorite Sweets

As I sat down to record today's episode, I couldn't help but think about how much I love candy. It's a universal language that brings people together, transcending cultural and personal boundaries. But, like anything in life, there's always room for debate and discussion. So, I decided to take on the challenge of ranking some of America's favorite candies, from classic bars to beloved treats with a twist.

My journey began with the legendary Snickers bar. This iconic candy bar is a staple in many American households, and for good reason. The perfect combination of nougat, peanuts, and caramel covered in milk chocolate, it's a match made in heaven. I'm giving it an 9 out of 10, only because there's something to be said for the humble Milky Way. While it may not have the same complexity as Snickers, its dark nougat and creamy caramel make it a close second.

But what really sets Snickers apart is its ability to round out other flavors with its peanuts. It's like the peanut butter to your jelly, the Merlot to your pizza night. Without the peanuts, Snickers would be just another bar of chocolate, but with them, it becomes something special. And that's why I'm giving it a 9, and the Milky Way an 8.

Next up was the esteemed Twix. This cookie-based candy bar has been a favorite among many for decades, and for good reason. The combination of crunchy cookies, smooth caramel, and chocolatey goodness is a winner. However, I have to deduct points because it's just not as exciting as some of its competitors. And let's be real, the "left versus right" debate is all about marketing – Twix on the left is just better.

But what really caught my attention was 100 Grand bars. These little gems are the perfect combination of crunchy wafer cookies and sweet, creamy caramel. They're like a breath of fresh air in a world of overindulgent candy bars. And don't even get me started on KitKat – their sweet tart ropes are a masterclass in texture and flavor combination.

However, I did have to break out the big guns when it came to my top contender: Hershey's Crunchies. These little treats may not be as flashy as some of their competitors, but they're the real deal. The addition of crunchy elements takes them from mere mortal candy bars to true masterpieces. And let's be real, Twix just can't compete with that.

But I also have to give a shoutout to Hershey's own attempt at a Crunch bar – less crunchy, more chocolatey, but still delicious in its own right. It's like the difference between a sports car and a family sedan – both get you where you need to go, but one is just more fun.

And then there was the age-old debate: which way is Twix better? Is it the left side, with its crunchy cookie base, or the right side, with its smooth caramel coating? For me, it's the left side all the way. But I have to give props to those who disagree – it's a marketing question, and there's no wrong answer.

But what really gets my goat (pun intended) is when people say they like certain candies but can't explain why. Like, what do you mean you like candy? Is there something specific about it that resonates with you? Or are you just going along for the ride? I want to hear your thoughts – what's your favorite Halloween candy, and what makes it so special?

don't want to waste too much candy we're going to give all this candy away to children it's the truth it's Halloween candy why would we do anything else that's what we're going to do we're going to give it away to Children I'm not going to do it I hate kids I've had strawberry I've had blueberry I can imagine sour cherry but sherbet why is it cloudy these aren't normally cloudy I I kind of have to open another one to verify see look at that oh that's really nice clear as a summer's day okay here we go sour cherry okay it's Cherry fake cherry flavor BL and it it's a little sour but not really let's see if it clears up after I li it tastes crazy you know what it actually tastes like it tastes like they melted down Smarties I don't like it and I do want to wear one of these the entire episode and it's not going to be that one there it is ring pops are incredible they were my favorite prize to get at Chuck-E-Cheeses they were 25 tickets worth every ticket as Halloween candy like it's an oddball choice but it's a choice I like to ball oddly eight I love Ring Pops I don't care I love them so tiny I didn't it's like catching a fruit fly it's just just just disappeared in The Ether what the hell is this root beer root beer had so much candy already this is the second candy I want to point out it's Root Beer Barrel a candy from the days of your back when candy didn't have to be interesting good-looking or flavorful put dots of sugar on paper kids would suck it off you have any dots no good so that's rot beer candy which is good I like root beer candy I like root beer you made candy out of it I'm going to like it it's a five it's not bad but it's also not good trash Bowl I bet there's going to be like three things that are below five today this is all just sugar in different shapes hard to hate if I remember correctly I'm not a huge Baby Ruth fan it's peanuts caramel and nougat that's a Snickers no Baby Ruth was this Babe Ruth's favorite candy bar there's not that much nougat in it which I care for it's the equivalent of corn syrup in everything it's just like what do we put in this candy bar we can't just do peanuts that would cost a fortune nou it it to me it seems like a worth Snickers cuz it's too peanut forward all I really taste is peanuts I mean look at the peanut ratio IO of peanut to everything else that's just mostly peanut you're right to call it a chocolate covered payday it's not bad it's six I love Milk Duds I like them chewy I like them almost too hard to chew oh what bag was that in cuz it picked up the flavors of something fruity I have to assume nerds yeah everything else can be wrapped in plastic but nerds is like no condom we're putting just putting it straight in the Box I will be uh uh impartial though or should I their caramel is it could be better uh it requires aging to be good and uh the chocolate's dog Seven's very fair what the hell are these just sour balls how sour are these balls not very sour tastes like a lemon head without The Whimsy Cherry objectionable Cherry again you gave me two of the same orange is fine overall the most boring candy I've ever had in my entire life it's of a bygone era kids today they got their Nintendo switch and they're VR goggles they're not going to stand for that they're not unpleasant but they're just so boring I'm going give them a three oh I've been Bean Boozled it's liver and onions or cappuccino old bandage how'd you capture that flavor that's terrifying all right I'm going to pick a random one I'm just going to pick a random color not going to look at what comes out red that's either old bandage okay all right okay I'm feeling this okay it's either old bandage or pomegranate what does an old bandage taste like that doesn't taste like old bandage that tastes exactly like burning plastic just one just one brown liver and onions or cappuccino whoa that tastes like liver and onions hey it tastes like blood which what liver tastes like and onions oh they captured this with Jelly Belly it either tastes nothing like the source material or exactly like it Orange dead F I think you've done enough see Steve said Till I st said till I die dead fish water went up my nose oh God that really did taste like you know bad fish oh stinky socks how bad could that be that was toy free I think the most appropriate score for this is a five because half of them are good it gets a lot of yuck we just had some fun how are there two of these just different packaging no they're not this is Smarties these are Sweet Tarts these could not be more different swe Tarts back Smarties this is what I would get if I didn't get enough tickets to get a ring pop are these different flavors they they have a difference in flavor about as much as they have a difference in color they're barely candy I know that they're Classics and they're apparently never going to go away and they're always going to be in every Halloween basket what do you call it Halloween pale candy candy bucket I used to pillowcase oh Steve I'm gonna give him a three I'm gonna catch some hate for that but Smarties you basic Sweet Tarts or as their Otherwise Known the better Smarties they're bigger they say tender on them this one says math and art do these just have antonyms on them what the so those are opposites math and art yeah they are it's two sides of the same coin 10 the really like tart and sweet and frankly I adore what they've done here I can't get over it it's the deepest thing I've ever seen on candy all that Tomy aside uh they kind of suck they're really boring I mean they're better than the smarties for sure but they're also just like they're still chalk I you you know I'd give them a five but I'm going to give them a six for Whimsy that's the game you play when you go out there with your pillowcase crunch one of my very least favorite candy bars here's the deal I'm not going to let my prejudices get in the way I'm sure the whole of humanity would say it's a seven I don't like milk chocolate I don't like that I have to chew it I'm checking those at the door I'm going to give it a six I think it's a six Blow Pops specifically weird little Blow Pops these aren't the ones you get at the gas station I hate Cherry candy but Cherry Blow Pops spank I've never had black cherry but I I I can tell you right now I'm not going to like it unless of course if I open this up and it's jet black no it just looks like grape I almost got rid of the cape have I been made of black cherry man it's good I mean it tastes more like fake Cherry than normal Blow Pops Cherry especially considering there's something for everyone I guarantee there's blow poop flavor you like out there I'm going to give Blow Pops a nine I love Blow Pops the only reason I'm not giving them a 10 is cuz they cut your mouth usually HBO I'm going to open this up leave it open and we'll check back in one week cuz that's how I like my hotti bow these are already pre- chewed they're good and thick and dense why is strawberry green strawber is green dude how do Harry BOS are awesome but as far as the pantheon of of Halloween candy goes the pretty mid so I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to throw a six their way I'm going to throw nice curvy six at him oh such a good catch today Rolo fun fact about Rolo uh when I was growing up um probably when I was must have been 9 or 10 my testicles dropped and I was in the back of the car and I was eating rollos and I felt these two things down here and I was I asked my parents very loudly if that's where the rollos go that's true story um I remember it distinctly you don't forget something like that that chocolate tastes better than most mass-produced milk chocolate it just does and there's so much caramel and it's so nice and soft I would eat a whole bag of these obviously but like again we're talking about Halloween candy as a whole and in that Universe this this gets a seven comfortable seven I don't need to try this I have to eat so much candy but that's how good they are the perfect perfect gummy candy nothing wrong with them no notes except that occasionally you are eating them and you look at the bag and you're like I only have greens and yellows left does that get them a nine cuz green and yellow kind of sucks lemon and lime I'm going to give him a nine I'm a Sour Patch Kids freak lme drive at my face exercise some restraint arets yes what the hell are these clever candy rainbow jawbreakers Taste the rainbow black or dark red I don't know how to rate this because I have to suck one down in its entirety look at oh my God oh my God I'm taking it back it looks sci-fi it's so perfectly round it looks like an alien egg there was nothing like this in Inception but this this could have been in that movie don't worry don't worry don't worry don't worry I'm going to evacuate my fingers oh God okay all right all right all hey hey it's just it's just alternating black and white that's nuts flavor is that mint grape oh it's Pitch Black it's p oh my god oh I sucked on it for three seconds can I get another one of those I should have tried it oh my God it's so fast and they don't taste good they're ridiculous they're horrible they damage you permanently I like how beautiful they are I'll give them a two for for for beauty how did they do that M and M's plain ones what are we doing here you know I'm doing Peanut m& separately but yeah I did Sour Patch Kids and watermelon Sour Patch Kids and the same what is your rubric they're boring um they don't taste very good the chocolate doesn't taste very good but they're not also not like terrible they're M&M's for God's sake but I don't want to get crucified next time I leave the house but they're super boring especially amidst all the other Halloween candies so boring needs peanut or peanut butter or caramel cold brew which is my favorite one that's the thing yeah five frms I don't care what kind of flack it Flacks me a notable Improvement on the M&M's formula huge Improvement if these were peanut butter M&M's they'd be getting a nine these are going to get a seven nerds one of my favorite candies in the entire world whoa we have some inequity in flavor here uh there's about I'd say um 30% less ner nerds than strawberry strawberry is probably more expensive to make you know o strawberry and grape underrated flavor combination I love nerds I love them if you suck on them they're a journey they go seriously from Flavor and texture they change second to Second they go from sweet to really tart back to Sweet are they a perfect 10 what's wrong with them nothing 10 nerds gummy clusters AKA Nerds Rope a bridge wow I mean this looks like an alien candy from a kids movie from the 9s so awesome so dope dude they're nerds but with a delightful gummy core nobody was asking them to innovate but they did it's not an improvement on the original it's a lateral move but a 10 moving laterally is still a 10 trolley or is it trolly truly I don't know these are the sour bright crawlers you know let's try some what do they do and orange I guess that's a good combo yeah they're no sour patch kids but they are still a standout gummy candy they have a great texture the sourness is there it's not like that there but it's there and uh they're crazy colors and they but they don't stain your body I'm going to give these a seven I think trolley are solid but if I ate this whole bag I'd feel funny Fruit Chews AKA tootsie rolls that ran out of chocolate no vanilla okay thank God almost freaked out I already know what these taste like I'll do a little orange boring you know what these taste like to me the bank was growing up Pittsburgh Federal Credit Union shout out shout out pfcu oh I'm home so much better than a tussy roll tussy rolls suck all that to be said they're ridiculous like why do these exist guys you need to make me a candy inventor look what I just did look at that perfect Ambrosia that's a that's that's an orange creamsicle I just invented the orange creamsicle this gets a 10 these I'll give him a I'll be very generous and give him a five cuz they're they're they're they're horribly boring so here's something confusing I have a riddle for you to solve huh why does it have a a Hot Pocket sleeve these don't ones don't come with sleeves and this one's thinner and more delicate this one needs a sleeve if anything it tastes like a chocolate scented marker it might be I really ate them when I got down to the very last things in my candy oopa very little to love about tissy rolls to Tootsie Pops a noted Improvement on the thing that I hate is Tootsie Pops mostly because of these two we got raspberry and we got grape I always thought this was blueberry if I'm being honest these two these are some of the tastiest lollipops that have yet been discovered these are incredible until you get down to its Tootsie Roll core and even then it's not that bad cuz you're crunching through candy and you're mingling flavors and it's wonderful this this is adding insult to injury right here oh I forgot how many licks does it take to get the center Ro tosie pop a one a two three oh no no no no ah ah that commercial is irresponsible I can see why they stopped airing it I haven't licked this in quite a while probably because I'm eating so much freaking candy these are fabulous lollipops if if you lick them more than three times eventually you'll get through to the tussy roll core and you'll tolerate it so I think that gets you uh six Three Musketeers more like one musketeer why does this feel smaller than it normally does I feel like this is them really being cheap remember when I said that I feel like nougat is ER in these United States because in UK nougats delicious this whipped nougat it's using less nougat and we're just eating it like there's not even a problem with that it's so boring compared to a a mini Snickers or Milky Way which is just Snickers without peanuts I'm glad it's mini honestly because I I could really only handle like one bite of this I've never had a whole Three Musketeers Bar in my life where I'm going to let my personal preference is weigh in because I think you're wrong and I think that we're all in denial about it I don't like three musketeers so I'm going to give it a four York Peppermint Patty the Patty of peppermint that sends you suddenly and against your will to the Swiss Alps I love the minty filling I love that it's dark chocolate dark chocolate plays way better with mint than milk chocolate does doesn't melt at all I do however think of it as a larger worse Junior mint I don't think we have any Junior Mints today and it's a real shame delightful there I'm starting to lose the my mind guys sorry we're not even halfway through I'm in trouble I wish that they were runnier and gooier that would do it for me as they are seven ow damn it I just jammed my finger on these brashest pumpkins you know how awesome candy corn is they were like you know what we should do make them bigger shaving off the surface I don't like candy corn I also don't dislike it and by extension and/or proxy same here it is a shame though this is a loud angry three okay I'm not going to I'm not going to mess this one up candy corn the same thing in a different shape I when I was a kid you could have put a gun to my head as a child and told me there's no it's not three different flavors the Candy Corn it's one flavor it's not white orange and yellow flavor and I would have said you shoot me but I was right lo and behold that gunman was right they are one flavor because they're just corn syrup flavored okay first ingredient I'll give to you is sugar second is corn syrup salt confectioners Blaze corn syrup dextrose corn syrup gelatin not corn syrup honey never mind and that gunman was Albert Einstein uh this is the same this is the same as the pumpkins just smaller which I like cuz that means I don't have to have a whole mouthful of the stuff I can just have a little bit I'll give it one more I'll give it four for being a better form factor I've never seen so many colors of Twizzler I didn't know that they had every color of the rainbow these even the red is different than the red woo we should just taste test sugar I have a lot more fun I'm not a Red Vines guy because I'm not an what flavor is original Twizzler is a cherry strawberry strawberry my fat there's no way this tastes like strawberry I'm going taste the blue one okay it tastes different I thought it had more flavor but it just tastes different this tastes like a blue slushie that tastes like green apple but muted of course these the ah sh okay come on get it together Twizzlers are fun there's nothing quite like them don't say Red Vines can't drink soda through Red Vines I've tried really hard there's no hole it's like trying to drink through a broom pole I was always bored of the of the strawberry flavor never never was a fan these at least introduce some variety in the situation I think I think these get a um a six I like I like Twisters but not enough to go any higher than that nobody better later finger on my butt or finger uh I don't need to taste this but I'm going to because it is my very favorite candy look out right Brothers lock up your daughters uh uh Albert Einstein Butterfingers com for you how do they do it they do it it's like glass Butterfinger is the best it's glue free you could have fooled me I love Butterfinger it's a perfect candy there's nothing wrong with it I wish that it would rate me instead honestly 10 all the way got one banana chew you trying to kill me what are these I don't know God I hate this I'd like to point out that this is called orange chew well that was awful uh that's a one it's terrible Turtles milk chocolate peans caramel I've always loved a turtle it's okay tastes like your aunt gave it to you it's from out of state she got it at the airport you know it's good the caramel tastes a little bit more natural than other candy bars the peanuts are fine chocolate tastes good it's milk but it tastes like more again more natural more real and it's a turtle it's a classic flavor combination I'm going to give I'm going to give it an eight Pop Rocks once again not something I've ever gotten as a Halloween candy turns into gum uh I'm not even going to do that whoa whoa tight bro this is the original flavor Cherry but they gave it like like retro style retro style still popping after 40 years just like me that's what I'm going to say at my 40th birthday party still popping it 40 years old 14 years old no what 14 40 popping since 1970 40 years oh this package is 14 years old you're right are you for real wait wait wait wait wait wait cop over I mean I don't know when it it was made but it expires in 2026 do you like this pop rocks my friend get a I think a nobody's going to want that St it's crazy sounding Pop Rocks are amazing there's nothing like it nobody's even tried they're more fun than they are tasty but they're still a hell of a lot of fun they're seven I love Pop Rocks do we have warheads no this is the only Warheads I could get put them on board Warheads get a On Pop Rocks are sensation now they've just added pure violent sour to the mix this isn't made by Pop Rocks yeah this is not a collaboration oh remember how I fed that nobody even tried it's not Sour WarHeads is supposed to do that to you you're supposed to not be able to function normally when you have a warhead in your mouth I don't think they were poppy if I'm being honest the crystals are smaller so it means they're not going to last longer and uh it's not sour so it doesn't live up to the Warhead name these get a these get a five dots AKA Bad Candy AKA just why do these exist AKA who who wants these if you love dots explain yourself in the comments please well that's never getting out of my mouth permanently a fixed my teeth virulent they taste okay at best if they didn't stick to your teeth I'd like them cuz they do have an incredibly dense gummy texture and it's kind of cool so I'm going to give them a two for that that's it why just different sizes of why do you why have you why have you done this options I'm going to eat the tiniest corner of this just just to prove that I did it but but it's bad chocolate I hate Hershey's except for in the context of a sore Hershey's belongs nowhere it is the most boring chocolate on God's green earth it doesn't even taste like chocolate it's so bad it's a candy product of some kind I I I I'm surprised they even legally are able to call it chocolate for its use in a s and for being an American stalwart I'll give it a three it's not just Hershey's dark it's Hershey special dark why do they call it that might be dark chocolate but it's not special certainly an improvement on Plain Hershey's milk chocolate but by dark by dark chocolate standards it's still a war crime it still tastes super fake and processed it's got a richer flavor it tastes more like actual chocolate but still very not good I'll give it a four Skittles shers what's the deal spine tingling Tangerine Citrus scream shocking lime so it's the same freaking flavors but they just put synonyms for being scared in front of them we also of course have Skittles original Skittles Wildberry this is where it's at remember Skittles smoothies are they are those still a thing mhm no no no Wild chck that was the same thing oh yeah melon Berry remember Skittles smoothies I'm going to give normal Skittles a six fight me it don't fight me I've never thrown hands in my life I can't but these are novel and delicious so they are going to get a seven if we had Skittle smoothies they'd be getting an eight but we don't and they aren't lifes Savers every flavor but the good one let's pretend that there is a white right here this is the white Lifesaver that's nice that's better this is the Saving Grace of the Lifesaver world uh it tastes like I think it's is it P colada or is it pineapple it's just pineapple it's a delight I I'll settle for an orange but life saers as a whole if this guy gets a 10 and this guy gets a three six is that halfway between three and 10 rounding down Mounds the very oddly named candy because Almond Joy you got an Almond Joy I can yeah I'm going to pull out these two candy bars and I'm going to let you guess which one should be called Mounds which one should be called Mounds I prefer Mounds dark chocolate no stupid nut m that should be called Almond Joy No almonds that's the joy of it so good love Mounds the coconut can be a little dry sometimes like the paste is wet but the coconut itself is dry otherwise it would be frankly a 10 I'm going to go to a nine I love Mounds Almond Joy is not a joy at all it is still good six six for Almond Joy uh-oh somebody better call the bank cuz I got myself 100 Grand 100 grand and I discovered is frankly the very best candy bar it's a better Twix it adds your precious Crunchies and opts and said for a bar of pure uncut Colombian caramel oh Lord you know how you're making a snow cone and you're like I wish I could just get just the syrup that's what this is like you're eating a Twix and you're like I wish it were just caramel and had Crunchies too ferero ferer R is out here killing it making all my favorite candies making what was the other one nerds nerds and F rochet and 100 Grand the best candies ever conceived maybe no notes wouldn't change the thing Soup To Nuts top to bottom left right up down stop go I love it and it's a 10 I love 100 Grand wow they got Butterfinger too wow wait Ferrer Rocha makes Butterfinger and keer I didn't see get me another Butterfinger now Laffy Taffy otherwise known as less fake AirHeads somehow in this tiny little little package there are two jokes what's a vampire's favorite fruit suck berries orang blood orange oh you read these you no I didn't liar yellow one can't get it out it tastes exactly like AirHeads exactly the same but it does taste a little kind of more natural is I guess I don't know I'm not going to eat any more of it that's for darn sure super boring I loved AirHeads cuz cuz you could go and concentrate it down in the bottom into a little Pro that was denser than a dying are but this good luck they're bad they're Taffy but they're bad come with a joke that's worth some no it's not this isn't very good and I'm going to give it a four cuz it's still okay but I don't want any more of it not at all black forest mini gummy bears what is this ham the white one's pineapple that's Haribo territory also impossible to open jeez and they're so tiny my God one one of these is yellow and one of these is clear there's going to be so many accidents as a result of this ambiguity from the side it could be you know what it could be it could be a Welch's uh first snack the raspberry Black Forest mini gummy bears uh worse texture than Haribo way smaller than Haribo worse flavor than Haribo worse product than Haribo these guys get a three they're bummer Ferrero they're Ferrero these are Ferrero these are from Daddy quired by fero same with wab it doesn't even say that on the back they're clearly embarrassed of these original Reese's and Halloween Reese's there is a pronounced difference and I'm going to show you what it is right now that's the first time that has ever happened where it just came off clean normally you're losing the whole s you're losing I'd say 20% of your net chocolate and you're licking it off the paper like an animal but the secrets to Halloween Reeses just hanging out the lose the hell is this supposed to be is that a pumpkin I think there's more peanut butter in the pumpkin ones let's do a side-by-side visual comparison oh yeah come on come on there's more peanut butter more chocolate too there's more everything I love chocolate and peanut butter and Reese's is like the prototypical chocolate and peanut butter this is a masterpiece um it would be insane for me to rate Reese's Peanut Butter Cups anything less than a nine and their Halloween peanut butter cups a 10 because they are better proportion Reese's Pieces or as the annoying kid that you grew up with called them Reese's Pieces or the M&M's savior cuz you eat these in tandem with M&M'S you have the best flavor combination in the world work oh they taste so much better when you do that these are awesome they're made better with M&M'S but they're still pretty great on their own but they're still just okay okay come on Reese's Pieces they are fantastic I love them but they are a little tiny bit boring on their own but they're still pretty great I think they get a seven Swedish fish for some reason as far as I can tell in a war against Sour Patch Kids I feel like people are always like do you like Swedish fish or Sour Patch Kids like I don't know do you like cars or hammers I'll tell you what these taste exactly like red Sour Patch Kids with no sour on them it's same flavor what flavor are Swedish Fish supposed to be it refuses to disclose all I know is that they're good and uh not as good as Sour Patch Kids no no no they're still quite good though uh I do love Swedish Fish they're addictive and they have a nice chew to them and they age quite well I really like old Swedish Fish Swedish Fish are going to get a seven do enjoy Swedish fish double-edged sword cuz you get pink for sure but then you also get red ooh see this one I got orange and pink way better combination way better day that I'm having now as a result well orange is okay I guess what's the other one yellow yellow I think that you're either a Pink Starburst person or a yes Starburst person I don't think that there's any Middle Ground these are a classic you know it's pretty hard to knock them I love pink so much I'll forgive all the other flavors pink gets a 10 the other guys anywhere from a three to a five and I'll give Starburst as a whole a seven whoa what I've never heard of a gummy G well listen up so you're about to hear of it the is that what is going on there I'm desperately trying to figure out what shape that's supposed to be I see two balls look there's two balls on there cherries cherries except this is supposed to be strawberry lemon that's not strawberry that tastes like Cherry Hershey's add it again Jolly Rancher gummies two oh my God Jolly Ranchers pink is watermelon but they still have a strawberry so whatever the flavor is not very good um it does taste exactly like the strawberry Jolly Ranchers so I think that they've translated the flavor quite well uh but I don't I don't much care for Jolly Ranchers they're the most interesting hard can plus a distinct like I don't know vinyl flavor like I know this is like effectively plastic and the rappers always stick to them if they've exposed been exposed to the sun ever uh the the rappers are not coming off and this feels very similar these rappers are really hard to get off they're ripping they're they're sticking I'm also going to score Jolly Ranchers cuz I remember perfectly what they taste like um Jolly Ranchers will get a uh five because they're again the best that hard candy can be jolly rancher chewes are going to get a five as well e English toffee enrobed in Rich chocy coating got nothing to say about this it's great you know are you not entertained you know it's a it's a worst butter finger is what it is but that's still pretty good if you shoot for the moon you'll still land amongst the Stars you know uh it is just solid brick of toffee scrape and it's milk chocolate around it was pretty good it doesn't have the you know light texture of a Butterfinger nor the peanut butter flavor it's just toffee it's not pretending to be anything else I'm into it it's good I love Heath it's it's a it's a a a eight Mr good bar is a freaking Hershey bar when you open it up it even just says Hershey's on it why don't they just call it Hershey's with peanuts why do they call it Mr good bar Market Improvement cuz it's this close to being peanut butter that's where that's actually where peanut butter comes from it tastes way better with the peanuts it just tastes so much better that I actually enjoy it now uh I I I would give a Mr good bar six oh now things are about to start tasting like the bank cuz that's straight where these are from props on this stick it's it's plastic this will last forever it'll kill a creature but you won't have a mushy stick tasted like cinnamon for a second before it turned to Orange it's soof freaking boring but it's still a lollipop what am I monster do I have no childhood Whimsy in me what if I was at the doctor and I was scared to get my shot you don't seek these out not never three double bubble 10 bucks says this is rock hard because unless you get it out of like a pack of specifically double bubble it's incredibly stale oh yeah oh yeah good chewing gum it's already out of flavor this is bad got you got him I mean you if it were fresh it'd be pretty good for about 45 seconds is about how long bazooka and double bubble last but it's gum I mean it's still bubblegum but if you're going to ask me to have this versus Big League Chew little BLC BLC to wash down the bad day at school look out cuz I'm going to be blowing bubbles yeah it's it's it's not very good there's way better ways to get bubblegum flavor into your system this ain't it and um I'm going to give it for its hardness a four it's still freaking bubble gum Milky Way AKA Snickers without nuts where's the Snickers oh this feels like it deserves to be side by side is this the same company presumably they were like you know what let's put some peanuts in there and we'll give it a way better name oh Milky Way is pretty good what am I saying I think this is chocolate flavored nougat in the um similar situation in the Milky Way it's a darker nougat I thought it was the exact same thing son peanuts turns out it was wrong both good in their own right but the the peanuts really make it happen like Snickers is a damn near perfect candy bar and um Milky Way It Is a distant second uh to to to this guy the peanuts round things out it gives it a whole new flavor texture I'm going to give uh Snickers a n and a Milky Way a s we got crackle this is Hershey's attempt at a Crunch bar less crunchy more chocolate it's Hershey's chocolate so it's bad Crunchies make it better than normal Hershey's these Crunchies elevated 2 A5 Twix left side get a right side finally we can answer the question Twix left versus right bar is it just marketing there I IAL as they should be it's not as good as 100 Grand cuz they put some dumb cookie in there instead of Crunchies and there's not not as much caramel but it's still it's one of it's it's one of the goats it's uh it's it's in the Hall of Fame it's in Madam Tu sides I love Twix I'm I'm going to give him a nine give me a kit give me a cat give me a k k cat K what the is this okay no it broke I thought this was pre-broken I was like it's ruining my day that I don't get to break it it's because I sang that stupid song I didn't say give me a break and here we go I don't know why you like them so much I like them don't get me wrong I like them but they're just like a really old-fashioned wafer cookie covered in chocolate I don't like them as much as you do but I still like them very much not as much as Twix not as much as 100 Grand but they're close eight for KitKat sweet tart ropes they were eating those Sweet Tarts and they were like you know this would be great if it was chewy in a rope form I don't know how I about that there is a distinct layer of I'm even like pushing it out right now there's a distinct layer of cream filling ew that's the sour part well they really put some thought into this can I pull out the whole tape one I'm not entirely sure why I'm doing this but I am doing it now I'm going to get you out of there even if it costs me everything there we go there we go there's the sweet tart rope found it it's not many candies you can that have elements like that that you can just straight up separate you get to control

expecting Ring Pops the pop that you have to eat like this so that it makes your lips whatever color the pop is it's the only way to do it there's another way to do it show me please watermelon you can have this thank you very much I hat did it I I already ate you said you like watermelon I don't want to waste too much candy we're going to give all this candy away to children it's the truth it's Halloween candy why would we do anything else that's what we're going to do we're going to give it away to Children I'm not going to do it I hate kids I've had strawberry I've had blueberry I can imagine sour cherry but sherbet why is it cloudy these aren't normally cloudy I I kind of have to open another one to verify see look at that oh that's really nice clear as a summer's day okay here we go sour cherry okay it's Cherry fake cherry flavor BL and it it's a little sour but not really let's see if it clears up after I li it tastes crazy you know what it actually tastes like it tastes like they melted down Smarties I don't like it and I do want to wear one of these the entire episode and it's not going to be that one there it is ring pops are incredible they were my favorite prize to get at Chuck-E-Cheeses they were 25 tickets worth every ticket as Halloween candy like it's an oddball choice but it's a choice I like to ball oddly eight I love Ring Pops I don't care I love them so tiny I didn't it's like catching a fruit fly it's just just just disappeared in The Ether what the hell is this root beer root beer had so much candy already this is the second candy I want to point out it's Root Beer Barrel a candy from the days of your back when candy didn't have to be interesting good-looking or flavorful put dots of sugar on paper kids would suck it off you have any dots no good so that's rot beer candy which is good I like root beer candy I like root beer you made candy out of it I'm going to like it it's a five it's not bad but it's also not good trash Bowl I bet there's going to be like three things that are below five today this is all just sugar in different shapes hard to hate if I remember correctly I'm not a huge Baby Ruth fan it's peanuts caramel and nougat that's a Snickers no Baby Ruth was this Babe Ruth's favorite candy bar there's not that much nougat in it which I care for it's the equivalent of corn syrup in everything it's just like what do we put in this candy bar we can't just do peanuts that would cost a fortune nou it it to me it seems like a worth Snickers cuz it's too peanut forward all I really taste is peanuts I mean look at the peanut ratio IO of peanut to everything else that's just mostly peanut you're right to call it a chocolate covered payday it's not bad it's six I love Milk Duds I like them chewy I like them almost too hard to chew oh what bag was that in cuz it picked up the flavors of something fruity I have to assume nerds yeah everything else can be wrapped in plastic but nerds is like no condom we're putting just putting it straight in the Box I will be uh uh impartial though or should I their caramel is it could be better uh it requires aging to be good and uh the chocolate's dog Seven's very fair what the hell are these just sour balls how sour are these balls not very sour tastes like a lemon head without The Whimsy Cherry objectionable Cherry again you gave me two of the same orange is fine overall the most boring candy I've ever had in my entire life it's of a bygone era kids today they got their Nintendo switch and they're VR goggles they're not going to stand for that they're not unpleasant but they're just so boring I'm going give them a three oh I've been Bean Boozled it's liver and onions or cappuccino old bandage how'd you capture that flavor that's terrifying all right I'm going to pick a random one I'm just going to pick a random color not going to look at what comes out red that's either old bandage okay all right okay I'm feeling this okay it's either old bandage or pomegranate what does an old bandage taste like that doesn't taste like old bandage that tastes exactly like burning plastic just one just one brown liver and onions or cappuccino whoa that tastes like liver and onions hey it tastes like blood which what liver tastes like and onions oh they captured this with Jelly Belly it either tastes nothing like the source material or exactly like it Orange dead F I think you've done enough see Steve said Till I st said till I die dead fish water went up my nose oh God that really did taste like you know bad fish oh stinky socks how bad could that be that was toy free I think the most appropriate score for this is a five because half of them are good it gets a lot of yuck we just had some fun how are there two of these just different packaging no they're not this is Smarties these are Sweet Tarts these could not be more different swe Tarts back Smarties this is what I would get if I didn't get enough tickets to get a ring pop are these different flavors they they have a difference in flavor about as much as they have a difference in color they're barely candy I know that they're Classics and they're apparently never going to go away and they're always going to be in every Halloween basket what do you call it Halloween pale candy candy bucket I used to pillowcase oh Steve I'm gonna give him a three I'm gonna catch some hate for that but Smarties you basic Sweet Tarts or as their Otherwise Known the better Smarties they're bigger they say tender on them this one says math and art do these just have antonyms on them what the so those are opposites math and art yeah they are it's two sides of the same coin 10 the really like tart and sweet and frankly I adore what they've done here I can't get over it it's the deepest thing I've ever seen on candy all that Tomy aside uh they kind of suck they're really boring I mean they're better than the smarties for sure but they're also just like they're still chalk I you you know I'd give them a five but I'm going to give them a six for Whimsy that's the game you play when you go out there with your pillowcase crunch one of my very least favorite candy bars here's the deal I'm not going to let my prejudices get in the way I'm sure the whole of humanity would say it's a seven I don't like milk chocolate I don't like that I have to chew it I'm checking those at the door I'm going to give it a six I think it's a six Blow Pops specifically weird little Blow Pops these aren't the ones you get at the gas station I hate Cherry candy but Cherry Blow Pops spank I've never had black cherry but I I I can tell you right now I'm not going to like it unless of course if I open this up and it's jet black no it just looks like grape I almost got rid of the cape have I been made of black cherry man it's good I mean it tastes more like fake Cherry than normal Blow Pops Cherry especially considering there's something for everyone I guarantee there's blow poop flavor you like out there I'm going to give Blow Pops a nine I love Blow Pops the only reason I'm not giving them a 10 is cuz they cut your mouth usually HBO I'm going to open this up leave it open and we'll check back in one week cuz that's how I like my hotti bow these are already pre- chewed they're good and thick and dense why is strawberry green strawber is green dude how do Harry BOS are awesome but as far as the pantheon of of Halloween candy goes the pretty mid so I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to throw a six their way I'm going to throw nice curvy six at him oh such a good catch today Rolo fun fact about Rolo uh when I was growing up um probably when I was must have been 9 or 10 my testicles dropped and I was in the back of the car and I was eating rollos and I felt these two things down here and I was I asked my parents very loudly if that's where the rollos go that's true story um I remember it distinctly you don't forget something like that that chocolate tastes better than most mass-produced milk chocolate it just does and there's so much caramel and it's so nice and soft I would eat a whole bag of these obviously but like again we're talking about Halloween candy as a whole and in that Universe this this gets a seven comfortable seven I don't need to try this I have to eat so much candy but that's how good they are the perfect perfect gummy candy nothing wrong with them no notes except that occasionally you are eating them and you look at the bag and you're like I only have greens and yellows left does that get them a nine cuz green and yellow kind of sucks lemon and lime I'm going to give him a nine I'm a Sour Patch Kids freak lme drive at my face exercise some restraint arets yes what the hell are these clever candy rainbow jawbreakers Taste the rainbow black or dark red I don't know how to rate this because I have to suck one down in its entirety look at oh my God oh my God I'm taking it back it looks sci-fi it's so perfectly round it looks like an alien egg there was nothing like this in Inception but this this could have been in that movie don't worry don't worry don't worry don't worry I'm going to evacuate my fingers oh God okay all right all right all hey hey it's just it's just alternating black and white that's nuts flavor is that mint grape oh it's Pitch Black it's p oh my god oh I sucked on it for three seconds can I get another one of those I should have tried it oh my God it's so fast and they don't taste good they're ridiculous they're horrible they damage you permanently I like how beautiful they are I'll give them a two for for for beauty how did they do that M and M's plain ones what are we doing here you know I'm doing Peanut m& separately but yeah I did Sour Patch Kids and watermelon Sour Patch Kids and the same what is your rubric they're boring um they don't taste very good the chocolate doesn't taste very good but they're not also not like terrible they're M&M's for God's sake but I don't want to get crucified next time I leave the house but they're super boring especially amidst all the other Halloween candies so boring needs peanut or peanut butter or caramel cold brew which is my favorite one that's the thing yeah five frms I don't care what kind of flack it Flacks me a notable Improvement on the M&M's formula huge Improvement if these were peanut butter M&M's they'd be getting a nine these are going to get a seven nerds one of my favorite candies in the entire world whoa we have some inequity in flavor here uh there's about I'd say um 30% less ner nerds than strawberry strawberry is probably more expensive to make you know o strawberry and grape underrated flavor combination I love nerds I love them if you suck on them they're a journey they go seriously from Flavor and texture they change second to Second they go from sweet to really tart back to Sweet are they a perfect 10 what's wrong with them nothing 10 nerds gummy clusters AKA Nerds Rope a bridge wow I mean this looks like an alien candy from a kids movie from the 9s so awesome so dope dude they're nerds but with a delightful gummy core nobody was asking them to innovate but they did it's not an improvement on the original it's a lateral move but a 10 moving laterally is still a 10 trolley or is it trolly truly I don't know these are the sour bright crawlers you know let's try some what do they do and orange I guess that's a good combo yeah they're no sour patch kids but they are still a standout gummy candy they have a great texture the sourness is there it's not like that there but it's there and uh they're crazy colors and they but they don't stain your body I'm going to give these a seven I think trolley are solid but if I ate this whole bag I'd feel funny Fruit Chews AKA tootsie rolls that ran out of chocolate no vanilla okay thank God almost freaked out I already know what these taste like I'll do a little orange boring you know what these taste like to me the bank was growing up Pittsburgh Federal Credit Union shout out shout out pfcu oh I'm home so much better than a tussy roll tussy rolls suck all that to be said they're ridiculous like why do these exist guys you need to make me a candy inventor look what I just did look at that perfect Ambrosia that's a that's that's an orange creamsicle I just invented the orange creamsicle this gets a 10 these I'll give him a I'll be very generous and give him a five cuz they're they're they're they're horribly boring so here's something confusing I have a riddle for you to solve huh why does it have a a Hot Pocket sleeve these don't ones don't come with sleeves and this one's thinner and more delicate this one needs a sleeve if anything it tastes like a chocolate scented marker it might be I really ate them when I got down to the very last things in my candy oopa very little to love about tissy rolls to Tootsie Pops a noted Improvement on the thing that I hate is Tootsie Pops mostly because of these two we got raspberry and we got grape I always thought this was blueberry if I'm being honest these two these are some of the tastiest lollipops that have yet been discovered these are incredible until you get down to its Tootsie Roll core and even then it's not that bad cuz you're crunching through candy and you're mingling flavors and it's wonderful this this is adding insult to injury right here oh I forgot how many licks does it take to get the center Ro tosie pop a one a two three oh no no no no ah ah that commercial is irresponsible I can see why they stopped airing it I haven't licked this in quite a while probably because I'm eating so much freaking candy these are fabulous lollipops if if you lick them more than three times eventually you'll get through to the tussy roll core and you'll tolerate it so I think that gets you uh six Three Musketeers more like one musketeer why does this feel smaller than it normally does I feel like this is them really being cheap remember when I said that I feel like nougat is ER in these United States because in UK nougats delicious this whipped nougat it's using less nougat and we're just eating it like there's not even a problem with that it's so boring compared to a a mini Snickers or Milky Way which is just Snickers without peanuts I'm glad it's mini honestly because I I could really only handle like one bite of this I've never had a whole Three Musketeers Bar in my life where I'm going to let my personal preference is weigh in because I think you're wrong and I think that we're all in denial about it I don't like three musketeers so I'm going to give it a four York Peppermint Patty the Patty of peppermint that sends you suddenly and against your will to the Swiss Alps I love the minty filling I love that it's dark chocolate dark chocolate plays way better with mint than milk chocolate does doesn't melt at all I do however think of it as a larger worse Junior mint I don't think we have any Junior Mints today and it's a real shame delightful there I'm starting to lose the my mind guys sorry we're not even halfway through I'm in trouble I wish that they were runnier and gooier that would do it for me as they are seven ow damn it I just jammed my finger on these brashest pumpkins you know how awesome candy corn is they were like you know what we should do make them bigger shaving off the surface I don't like candy corn I also don't dislike it and by extension and/or proxy same here it is a shame though this is a loud angry three okay I'm not going to I'm not going to mess this one up candy corn the same thing in a different shape I when I was a kid you could have put a gun to my head as a child and told me there's no it's not three different flavors the Candy Corn it's one flavor it's not white orange and yellow flavor and I would have said you shoot me but I was right lo and behold that gunman was right they are one flavor because they're just corn syrup flavored okay first ingredient I'll give to you is sugar second is corn syrup salt confectioners Blaze corn syrup dextrose corn syrup gelatin not corn syrup honey never mind and that gunman was Albert Einstein uh this is the same this is the same as the pumpkins just smaller which I like cuz that means I don't have to have a whole mouthful of the stuff I can just have a little bit I'll give it one more I'll give it four for being a better form factor I've never seen so many colors of Twizzler I didn't know that they had every color of the rainbow these even the red is different than the red woo we should just taste test sugar I have a lot more fun I'm not a Red Vines guy because I'm not an what flavor is original Twizzler is a cherry strawberry strawberry my fat there's no way this tastes like strawberry I'm going taste the blue one okay it tastes different I thought it had more flavor but it just tastes different this tastes like a blue slushie that tastes like green apple but muted of course these the ah sh okay come on get it together Twizzlers are fun there's nothing quite like them don't say Red Vines can't drink soda through Red Vines I've tried really hard there's no hole it's like trying to drink through a broom pole I was always bored of the of the strawberry flavor never never was a fan these at least introduce some variety in the situation I think I think these get a um a six I like I like Twisters but not enough to go any higher than that nobody better later finger on my butt or finger uh I don't need to taste this but I'm going to because it is my very favorite candy look out right Brothers lock up your daughters uh uh Albert Einstein Butterfingers com for you how do they do it they do it it's like glass Butterfinger is the best it's glue free you could have fooled me I love Butterfinger it's a perfect candy there's nothing wrong with it I wish that it would rate me instead honestly 10 all the way got one banana chew you trying to kill me what are these I don't know God I hate this I'd like to point out that this is called orange chew well that was awful uh that's a one it's terrible Turtles milk chocolate peans caramel I've always loved a turtle it's okay tastes like your aunt gave it to you it's from out of state she got it at the airport you know it's good the caramel tastes a little bit more natural than other candy bars the peanuts are fine chocolate tastes good it's milk but it tastes like more again more natural more real and it's a turtle it's a classic flavor combination I'm going to give I'm going to give it an eight Pop Rocks once again not something I've ever gotten as a Halloween candy turns into gum uh I'm not even going to do that whoa whoa tight bro this is the original flavor Cherry but they gave it like like retro style retro style still popping after 40 years just like me that's what I'm going to say at my 40th birthday party still popping it 40 years old 14 years old no what 14 40 popping since 1970 40 years oh this package is 14 years old you're right are you for real wait wait wait wait wait wait cop over I mean I don't know when it it was made but it expires in 2026 do you like this pop rocks my friend get a I think a nobody's going to want that St it's crazy sounding Pop Rocks are amazing there's nothing like it nobody's even tried they're more fun than they are tasty but they're still a hell of a lot of fun they're seven I love Pop Rocks do we have warheads no this is the only Warheads I could get put them on board Warheads get a On Pop Rocks are sensation now they've just added pure violent sour to the mix this isn't made by Pop Rocks yeah this is not a collaboration oh remember how I fed that nobody even tried it's not Sour WarHeads is supposed to do that to you you're supposed to not be able to function normally when you have a warhead in your mouth I don't think they were poppy if I'm being honest the crystals are smaller so it means they're not going to last longer and uh it's not sour so it doesn't live up to the Warhead name these get a these get a five dots AKA Bad Candy AKA just why do these exist AKA who who wants these if you love dots explain yourself in the comments please well that's never getting out of my mouth permanently a fixed my teeth virulent they taste okay at best if they didn't stick to your teeth I'd like them cuz they do have an incredibly dense gummy texture and it's kind of cool so I'm going to give them a two for that that's it why just different sizes of why do you why have you why have you done this options I'm going to eat the tiniest corner of this just just to prove that I did it but but it's bad chocolate I hate Hershey's except for in the context of a sore Hershey's belongs nowhere it is the most boring chocolate on God's green earth it doesn't even taste like chocolate it's so bad it's a candy product of some kind I I I I'm surprised they even legally are able to call it chocolate for its use in a s and for being an American stalwart I'll give it a three it's not just Hershey's dark it's Hershey special dark why do they call it that might be dark chocolate but it's not special certainly an improvement on Plain Hershey's milk chocolate but by dark by dark chocolate standards it's still a war crime it still tastes super fake and processed it's got a richer flavor it tastes more like actual chocolate but still very not good I'll give it a four Skittles shers what's the deal spine tingling Tangerine Citrus scream shocking lime so it's the same freaking flavors but they just put synonyms for being scared in front of them we also of course have Skittles original Skittles Wildberry this is where it's at remember Skittles smoothies are they are those still a thing mhm no no no Wild chck that was the same thing oh yeah melon Berry remember Skittles smoothies I'm going to give normal Skittles a six fight me it don't fight me I've never thrown hands in my life I can't but these are novel and delicious so they are going to get a seven if we had Skittle smoothies they'd be getting an eight but we don't and they aren't lifes Savers every flavor but the good one let's pretend that there is a white right here this is the white Lifesaver that's nice that's better this is the Saving Grace of the Lifesaver world uh it tastes like I think it's is it P colada or is it pineapple it's just pineapple it's a delight I I'll settle for an orange but life saers as a whole if this guy gets a 10 and this guy gets a three six is that halfway between three and 10 rounding down Mounds the very oddly named candy because Almond Joy you got an Almond Joy I can yeah I'm going to pull out these two candy bars and I'm going to let you guess which one should be called Mounds which one should be called Mounds I prefer Mounds dark chocolate no stupid nut m that should be called Almond Joy No almonds that's the joy of it so good love Mounds the coconut can be a little dry sometimes like the paste is wet but the coconut itself is dry otherwise it would be frankly a 10 I'm going to go to a nine I love Mounds Almond Joy is not a joy at all it is still good six six for Almond Joy uh-oh somebody better call the bank cuz I got myself 100 Grand 100 grand and I discovered is frankly the very best candy bar it's a better Twix it adds your precious Crunchies and opts and said for a bar of pure uncut Colombian caramel oh Lord you know how you're making a snow cone and you're like I wish I could just get just the syrup that's what this is like you're eating a Twix and you're like I wish it were just caramel and had Crunchies too ferero ferer R is out here killing it making all my favorite candies making what was the other one nerds nerds and F rochet and 100 Grand the best candies ever conceived maybe no notes wouldn't change the thing Soup To Nuts top to bottom left right up down stop go I love it and it's a 10 I love 100 Grand wow they got Butterfinger too wow wait Ferrer Rocha makes Butterfinger and keer I didn't see get me another Butterfinger now Laffy Taffy otherwise known as less fake AirHeads somehow in this tiny little little package there are two jokes what's a vampire's favorite fruit suck berries orang blood orange oh you read these you no I didn't liar yellow one can't get it out it tastes exactly like AirHeads exactly the same but it does taste a little kind of more natural is I guess I don't know I'm not going to eat any more of it that's for darn sure super boring I loved AirHeads cuz cuz you could go and concentrate it down in the bottom into a little Pro that was denser than a dying are but this good luck they're bad they're Taffy but they're bad come with a joke that's worth some no it's not this isn't very good and I'm going to give it a four cuz it's still okay but I don't want any more of it not at all black forest mini gummy bears what is this ham the white one's pineapple that's Haribo territory also impossible to open jeez and they're so tiny my God one one of these is yellow and one of these is clear there's going to be so many accidents as a result of this ambiguity from the side it could be you know what it could be it could be a Welch's uh first snack the raspberry Black Forest mini gummy bears uh worse texture than Haribo way smaller than Haribo worse flavor than Haribo worse product than Haribo these guys get a three they're bummer Ferrero they're Ferrero these are Ferrero these are from Daddy quired by fero same with wab it doesn't even say that on the back they're clearly embarrassed of these original Reese's and Halloween Reese's there is a pronounced difference and I'm going to show you what it is right now that's the first time that has ever happened where it just came off clean normally you're losing the whole s you're losing I'd say 20% of your net chocolate and you're licking it off the paper like an animal but the secrets to Halloween Reeses just hanging out the lose the hell is this supposed to be is that a pumpkin I think there's more peanut butter in the pumpkin ones let's do a side-by-side visual comparison oh yeah come on come on there's more peanut butter more chocolate too there's more everything I love chocolate and peanut butter and Reese's is like the prototypical chocolate and peanut butter this is a masterpiece um it would be insane for me to rate Reese's Peanut Butter Cups anything less than a nine and their Halloween peanut butter cups a 10 because they are better proportion Reese's Pieces or as the annoying kid that you grew up with called them Reese's Pieces or the M&M's savior cuz you eat these in tandem with M&M'S you have the best flavor combination in the world work oh they taste so much better when you do that these are awesome they're made better with M&M'S but they're still pretty great on their own but they're still just okay okay come on Reese's Pieces they are fantastic I love them but they are a little tiny bit boring on their own but they're still pretty great I think they get a seven Swedish fish for some reason as far as I can tell in a war against Sour Patch Kids I feel like people are always like do you like Swedish fish or Sour Patch Kids like I don't know do you like cars or hammers I'll tell you what these taste exactly like red Sour Patch Kids with no sour on them it's same flavor what flavor are Swedish Fish supposed to be it refuses to disclose all I know is that they're good and uh not as good as Sour Patch Kids no no no they're still quite good though uh I do love Swedish Fish they're addictive and they have a nice chew to them and they age quite well I really like old Swedish Fish Swedish Fish are going to get a seven do enjoy Swedish fish double-edged sword cuz you get pink for sure but then you also get red ooh see this one I got orange and pink way better combination way better day that I'm having now as a result well orange is okay I guess what's the other one yellow yellow I think that you're either a Pink Starburst person or a yes Starburst person I don't think that there's any Middle Ground these are a classic you know it's pretty hard to knock them I love pink so much I'll forgive all the other flavors pink gets a 10 the other guys anywhere from a three to a five and I'll give Starburst as a whole a seven whoa what I've never heard of a gummy G well listen up so you're about to hear of it the is that what is going on there I'm desperately trying to figure out what shape that's supposed to be I see two balls look there's two balls on there cherries cherries except this is supposed to be strawberry lemon that's not strawberry that tastes like Cherry Hershey's add it again Jolly Rancher gummies two oh my God Jolly Ranchers pink is watermelon but they still have a strawberry so whatever the flavor is not very good um it does taste exactly like the strawberry Jolly Ranchers so I think that they've translated the flavor quite well uh but I don't I don't much care for Jolly Ranchers they're the most interesting hard can plus a distinct like I don't know vinyl flavor like I know this is like effectively plastic and the rappers always stick to them if they've exposed been exposed to the sun ever uh the the rappers are not coming off and this feels very similar these rappers are really hard to get off they're ripping they're they're sticking I'm also going to score Jolly Ranchers cuz I remember perfectly what they taste like um Jolly Ranchers will get a uh five because they're again the best that hard candy can be jolly rancher chewes are going to get a five as well e English toffee enrobed in Rich chocy coating got nothing to say about this it's great you know are you not entertained you know it's a it's a worst butter finger is what it is but that's still pretty good if you shoot for the moon you'll still land amongst the Stars you know uh it is just solid brick of toffee scrape and it's milk chocolate around it was pretty good it doesn't have the you know light texture of a Butterfinger nor the peanut butter flavor it's just toffee it's not pretending to be anything else I'm into it it's good I love Heath it's it's a it's a a a eight Mr good bar is a freaking Hershey bar when you open it up it even just says Hershey's on it why don't they just call it Hershey's with peanuts why do they call it Mr good bar Market Improvement cuz it's this close to being peanut butter that's where that's actually where peanut butter comes from it tastes way better with the peanuts it just tastes so much better that I actually enjoy it now uh I I I would give a Mr good bar six oh now things are about to start tasting like the bank cuz that's straight where these are from props on this stick it's it's plastic this will last forever it'll kill a creature but you won't have a mushy stick tasted like cinnamon for a second before it turned to Orange it's soof freaking boring but it's still a lollipop what am I monster do I have no childhood Whimsy in me what if I was at the doctor and I was scared to get my shot you don't seek these out not never three double bubble 10 bucks says this is rock hard because unless you get it out of like a pack of specifically double bubble it's incredibly stale oh yeah oh yeah good chewing gum it's already out of flavor this is bad got you got him I mean you if it were fresh it'd be pretty good for about 45 seconds is about how long bazooka and double bubble last but it's gum I mean it's still bubblegum but if you're going to ask me to have this versus Big League Chew little BLC BLC to wash down the bad day at school look out cuz I'm going to be blowing bubbles yeah it's it's it's not very good there's way better ways to get bubblegum flavor into your system this ain't it and um I'm going to give it for its hardness a four it's still freaking bubble gum Milky Way AKA Snickers without nuts where's the Snickers oh this feels like it deserves to be side by side is this the same company presumably they were like you know what let's put some peanuts in there and we'll give it a way better name oh Milky Way is pretty good what am I saying I think this is chocolate flavored nougat in the um similar situation in the Milky Way it's a darker nougat I thought it was the exact same thing son peanuts turns out it was wrong both good in their own right but the the peanuts really make it happen like Snickers is a damn near perfect candy bar and um Milky Way It Is a distant second uh to to to this guy the peanuts round things out it gives it a whole new flavor texture I'm going to give uh Snickers a n and a Milky Way a s we got crackle this is Hershey's attempt at a Crunch bar less crunchy more chocolate it's Hershey's chocolate so it's bad Crunchies make it better than normal Hershey's these Crunchies elevated 2 A5 Twix left side get a right side finally we can answer the question Twix left versus right bar is it just marketing there I IAL as they should be it's not as good as 100 Grand cuz they put some dumb cookie in there instead of Crunchies and there's not not as much caramel but it's still it's one of it's it's one of the goats it's uh it's it's in the Hall of Fame it's in Madam Tu sides I love Twix I'm I'm going to give him a nine give me a kit give me a cat give me a k k cat K what the is this okay no it broke I thought this was pre-broken I was like it's ruining my day that I don't get to break it it's because I sang that stupid song I didn't say give me a break and here we go I don't know why you like them so much I like them don't get me wrong I like them but they're just like a really old-fashioned wafer cookie covered in chocolate I don't like them as much as you do but I still like them very much not as much as Twix not as much as 100 Grand but they're close eight for KitKat sweet tart ropes they were eating those Sweet Tarts and they were like you know this would be great if it was chewy in a rope form I don't know how I about that there is a distinct layer of I'm even like pushing it out right now there's a distinct layer of cream filling ew that's the sour part well they really put some thought into this can I pull out the whole tape one I'm not entirely sure why I'm doing this but I am doing it now I'm going to get you out of there even if it costs me everything there we go there we go there's the sweet tart rope found it it's not many candies you can that have elements like that that you can just straight up separate you get to control your ratio these aren't bad and uh I'm going to give them a six I like

concerning better help's privacy and therapist so I wanted to address those first betterhelp has assured me they do not share private data like clinical information patient names with the exception of when a patient suggest yes they're considering self harm and the therapist is required by state law to report this to ensure they get help 100% of their therapists are licensed vetted and competitively compensated they've renewed their commitment to privacy and patient care and above all making therapy accessible and affordable they're actually doing what you're supposed to do in therapy which is be candid learn from your mistakes and move forward October 10th is World mental health day so I hope you'll join me in exploring what therapy can offer you better help makes it easy
