Ceebs Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Oh yeah, I've had them. When my ex owned the candy store for several years, he mostly sold things that you can't get at any old convenience store or grocery store here in Canada, which largely meant UK and US products. He carried Necco Wafers and besides the original mixed flavour rolls, there were rolls of just chocolate flavoured ones as well. I mean, I've had worse when it comes to candy. They're nothing special but they're... fine. 13 minutes ago, Sally said: candy corn 🤮 I've tried to like it so many times, but... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Philip027 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Candy corn is one of those things I remember having and liking well enough as a kid. I haven't had it in ages, though. I could easily see my stance on it having changed in the time since. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've had worse candy corn and better candy corn, but never really any gastronomically mind-blowing candy corn. (I was going to say maybe that should be stomach-blowing, since you eat it, but that just sounds incredibly weird and like a very very bad explosive diarrhoea incident, or possibly something involving ruptured intestines. God I really do have no filter whatsoever...) ANYWAY. I'd never tried candy corn until I knew my ex... if it's any consolation lol, he loves it as well. Tbh I'd never even heard of it when I was growing up, although I guess it is a thing here in Canada too. Off topic, but since this seems to the be the SPFA chatter thread of the moment, god I just remembered how much of a turn-on watching people play music can be. 😂 This is not new information, but the drummer from one of my favourite bands has been posting videos on his Instagram for a few weeks now of him drumming along live to the the audio from the studio versions of some of their songs, and just... 🥵😅 Music is the only other thing I can think of that comes close to the same type of intense emotional energy and fulfilment that I get from (good) sex. So grateful Tele plays guitar lol. And that we bonded over music nerdery. (It's highly amusing to me that after discovering my bisexuality, I genuinely thought there was a period I might just be a lesbian. I mean, women are wonderful too of course, but... yeah no, def not just gay. 😂 I guess I was just very busy immersing myself in the world of queerness and the relationship with my ex-girlfriend following an unfulfilling straight marriage and kinda forgot that men are great as well lol.)

Traveler40 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Not all candy corn is created equal, but 99%? 🤮. The other 1% that’s marginally edible also goes hand-in-hand with with “there’s nothing else in the house to eat, I’m totally desperate for anything sweet, I could never have more than a couple of these and they’ll have to do!” 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watching Flamenco in Spain does it for me every time! The ballet affects me deeply as well. Hmm, the accompaniment of music may be the “ Je ne sais quoi“? Yes. Music plays on my emotions like nothing else, and I agree with you on the effects @Ceebs. We will attend a festival soon called Ohana - It’ll be our first time seeing Stevie Nicks live! 🙌🏼 Eddie Veder is also playing and on Sunday we again see PINK! We chase that weekend with the musical Hamilton then fly east where we will attend a symphony Music is wonderful. ♥️ One of the best parts of having kids is exposing their minds and hearts to all things amazing! ….which doesn’t include candy corn for those of you wondering.🤣 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryn2 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I guess I’m that unusual person who is neutral towards candy corn. XD I prefer some of the larger iterations (e.g., pumpkins) that have a higher insides-to-wax-shell ratio, but both are more of an “I’ll eat and enjoy it if it’s there, but I don’t crave it or seek it out or miss it” thing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Envious of all of those. I saw Pink in Toronto in 2018. I love her so so so much. She's just badass as a person as well as being an incredible singer. I have a Stevie Nicks poster on the wall in my bedroom and some Fleetwood Mac on vinyl (as well as loads on my phone lol, because you know... it's 2022 😂). I always crack up when I remember that my mum's cousin referred to them as her 'favourite secular band' in a post on Facebook (she's a religious nut, baptised Catholic like the rest of the family but got lured into a fairly conservative fundamentalist church of some sort). And Eddie Vedder... god I'd absolutely love to see him live. I adore his voice and way with words. 58 minutes ago, Traveler40 said: We chase that weekend with the musical Hamilton I've never seen a musical in my life lol, at least not live. Film adaptations, yes. I like to tease Tele cos he really really likes musicals. I'm not sure how many heterosexual men are willing to admit that. 😂 58 minutes ago, Traveler40 said: then fly east where we will attend a symphony Ah, I do miss the symphony though. My gran and I used to go together, just the two of us. We had tickets for the local symphony orchestra for pretty much every performance each season when I was between the ages of about 11 and 19. As you can see, I was an incredibly cool teenager and not at all a weird nerd. I came very close to trying out for the city's youth orchestra because I played French horn back then... I was a school band geek and then did private lessons and all that. Still have a French horn stuffed in my closet here. But depression and anxiety and related mental shit ruined the youth orchestra plan and playing music in general, so. 🥲 2 hours ago, HiddenKS said: mmmmmmmm…. Cry little candy corn, cry.

She's the first person who made me realise I was certain I knew what love felt like, the only other person I've loved as strongly as Tele. I was her youngest grandchild and we were always kind of a pair. I've called her my first 'other half' (yes yes I know, we're all whole people as we are, no one completes us... but you know what I mean lol). Feisty and opinionated lady, a lot of character in a very tiny body haha. She was quite proper in some ways at the same time though. Sass with class lol. And a single mum after my granddad died in a mysterious drowning (?) accident in 1950. Never remarried. She was a few weeks away from turning 106 when she died in 2017. Some local documentarians near where I grew up made a short video of an interview with her in 2013, since she was one of the oldest people in the area at the time. They talked to her about local history and whatnot.

I tried to learn on an acoustic sometime in my 20s but the damn thing seemed too big and awkward and (like my gran) I'm a very small person, and also ADHD and depression mean I never achieve any goals lol. I bought a secondhand Stratocaster in early 2020 and the size is much easier to work with and I practised diligently every day for quite a while until I, uh, didn't anymore. 😅 I'm bad at learning from books and videos anyway... I need Tele to teach me properly in person, I think. 13 minutes ago, Mountain House said: "Just Breathe" Easily one of my favourite PJ songs.

Mountain House Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 LOL, I was going to suggest that I could make a fondant out of candy corn for my pineapple upside down cake so I went out to find out what is in candy corn. It's made of fondant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's imbalanced. I love Thai food in part because the salty - sweet - sour - umami is very balanced. You can make pineapple on pizza edible by putting spicey on it so best go with pineapple and pepperoni NOT pineapple and honey ham - er - Canadian bacon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
