Food and Drink Candylicious: Round 1, Heats 33 through 36

**Rain Man** · 04-26-2016, 10:01 PM

Here are the rules. This will be a head to head tournament. For efficiency's sake, I will run four heats in each thread.

Therefore, I will put up four pairs of candies. For each pair, you will identify the candy that you would most like to have at the moment of voting. It doesn't necessarily have to be your favorite candy overall, just the one that sounds good right now. For visualization purposes, you may assume that you're out trick or treating (dressed as a gladiator), and the woman at the door is offering you your choice of two options. You can only pick one, or if you would turn them both down, you can pick zero (not to be confused with the Zero bar).

So to summarize, you will vote for four candies in each thread, one candy per heat. And here they are!

Heat 33: Almond Roca versus Mike and Ike, Regular Flavor

Heat 34: Rock Candy Crystals versus Valomilk

Heat 35: Andes Mints versus Ocho Coconut Bar

Heat 36: Root Beer Barrels versus M&Ms Crispy

I haven't tried any but 3 of these things

**Rain Man** · 04-26-2016, 10:09 PM

My votes:

Almond Roca over Mike and Ikes. I'm not a huge fan of Almond Roca, but Mike and Ikes creep me out. They look like you're overdosing on your grandmother's heart medication.

Valomilk over Rock Candy Crystals. I have no idea what Valomilk is, but it's got to be better than rock candy. When I see rock candy, I always envision myself eating salt crystals.

Andes Mints over Ocho Coconut Bar. I've never had an Ocho, but it looks delicious. I have to go with my favorite after dinner mint, though. Andes mints rock. But I think the Ocho is probably the second-best candy in this heat. It just drew the wrong opponent.

M&Ms Crispy over Root Beer Barrels. I'm not a huge fan of MMC's, but I can't imagine myself eating a root beer barrel. They just seem gross.

**TimBone** · 04-26-2016, 10:15 PM

I'm about to piss FMB! off, but I had a valomilk the other day, and that shit was mediocre as ****. Still better than Rock candy, though.

Rock candy was nominated by Srvy (unbelievable, right?), and it's only because he used to eat it in his childhood before real candy existed.

Pitt Gorilla · 04-26-2016, 10:18 PM

Aside from Andes, the rest are garbage.

The Ocho looks delicious, and a root beer barrel seems gross? You don't like root beer? What is wrong with you?

It's like I don't know you anymore.

Root beer is a drink, not a food. It's supposed to be guzzled from a frosty mug. Anything else is an abomination.

I imagine the root beer barrel unwrapped and sitting in the bottom of your aunt's purse for a couple of years gathering lint and bits of used tissue. Then if you mashed this up with the Andes bar it would actually make the Andes mint seem more appealing.

Toby Waller · 04-26-2016, 11:03 PM

Never seen an Ocho ,I don't think I have?

Toby Waller · 04-26-2016, 11:04 PM

Never ain't had no valomilk

Toby Waller · 04-26-2016, 11:05 PM

Ain't had no root beer barrels

GloucesterChief · 04-26-2016, 11:37 PM

Voted:

Almond Roca. Almonds, chocolate, and butter toffee. What is not to like?
Valomilk. Rock candy is just sugar and not even sugar in a fun way like Cotton Candy.
Andes Mints. I like mint. Andes mints are like Thin Mints in candy form.
M&Ms Crispy. A well made root beer is a great soda (which should be the next tournament) but the root beer barrel candy is usually not patterned off a well made root beer.

**TimBone** · 04-26-2016, 11:40 PM

That Ocho does not look delicious. That Almond Rocha does, though. Where can I find those?

You can find candy bar sized packages in the PNW. Walmart carries the canisters. Other stores may carry them around Christmas and Valentines.

That is one of the better ones..

They make some bullshit round hollow ones. Ignore them

Those log one's are literally the best candy on earth.

I dated a girl who made them by the pan full.

I was sad when I had to part ways with hr
