I like the green ones

Eew eew eew.

The bananas are the worst.

Hearts and limes are ok, though.

Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2009 6:09 pm

What's with the hearts anyway? I mean, they're supposed to be fruit, right?

Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2009 6:14 pm

yeah it seems most people hate the bananas, more for me imo

also i think the hearts are strawberry

can't stand bananas

I am pretty sure tabbers in some earlier thread were having a runty banana lovefest.

I'm glad this time people make more sense. They are the only runt about which I am not enthused.

ORANGES

but really runts are a subpar candy overall

would never buy them in the face of better candy

uh well I'm p. sure no one would buy any candy in the face of better candy

I always throw the bananas away. Strawberries are the best

okay in the face of the better candy which is almost certainly available nearly everywhere that runts are available at a perfectly reasonable price

man what the bananas are delicious

I think he's right to prefer them over Gobstoppers, though.
They're also preferable over Jujubes and Jolly Ranchers.

But yes, these all suck compared to good candies like Starbust, Skittles, etc.

hopefully exceptions can be made, because this stuff is apparently godawful

i'm sort of afraid to try it myself

I haven't tried those, but I don't see how they could mess up chocolate.

I am imagining they are akin to Milk Duds...?

Are milk duds anything like Riesens? when i think "chewy chocolate" I think of riesens

and then I sort of gag a bit

they are better than Riesens by a lot but neither of those candies are bad things.

I've enevr had the chocolate skittles though but really I don't see how they could be bad

in this country runts are the candy that you can only buy from machines and the machine never says runts on it so until now I never knew they even were called runts but now I learned something.

Posted: Sun Apr 19, 2009 10:40 am

Yeah I've only seen them in the machines too but then again I've never really sought them out because they're gross.

Also I tried the chocolate skittles and they were all wrong; all so very wrong wrong.

although I mean there's someone out there who likes it, one time we bought this huge box of like rock candy type stuff that tasted like ammonia (it was like a dollar)

nobody liked it but one of our dorm mates loved the stuff

he ended up eating all of it
