Food and Drink Candylicious: Round 1, Heats 21 through 24

**Rain Man** · 04-22-2016, 08:24 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 21: Runts versus Giant Chewy Sweetarts

Heat 22: York Peppermint Patty versus Junior Mints

Heat 23: Pearson's Bun - Maple versus Werther's Original

Heat 24: Warheads versus Pixy Stix

The heats are random, right? If so, huge coincidence there with the peppermint patty and the junior mints.

**Rain Man** · 04-22-2016, 08:32 PM

My votes:

Giant Chewy Sweetart over Runts. The GCS is a giant primoridial sweetart, like the kind the cavemen used to hunt. I haven't had one in years, but they really work. I'm so so on Runts.

York Peppermint Patty over Junior Mints. What a cruel random draw. Both of the top mints facing off in the opening round? Tsk, tsk. I love them both, but have to go with the YPP by a hair.

Pearson's Bun - Maple versus Werther's Original. This one could go either way depending on my mood. On this particular evening I like the smooth creaminess of a Werther's Original I only wish my grandfather was here to give me one.

Pixy Stix over Warheads. Warheads are pretty mediocre, while Pixy Stix are awesome. As a child I would often take my hard-earned money, walk to the convenience store, and buy a regular or giant Pixy Stix depending on my available resources. Good times, those were.

I know, right? It's heartbreaking.

Runts used to be good. Then they took out the lime, and later cherry. So **** them!

Wait, what? Which flavors do they have in the pack now?

eDave · 04-22-2016, 08:47 PM

But I gotta go with the York.

They replaced Cherry with Cough Syrup tasting Grape, and Lime with this god awful sour apple.

Wow, York PP against Junior Mints. This sucks!

I love them both, but will go with the Junior Mints because I love eating them at movies.

For all the jokes about Werther's, it appears to be a powerhouse.

Meh. Put it up against something like Reese's and watch it get destroyed.

This round we are faced with a)bags of sugar in poor disguise, b) grandpa candy, or c) mint -- the most disgusting substance on the face of the earth.

At least Marinovich lived 4 good years.

Once again, I am lockstep with Rain Man.
