It’s not at the top of my list, though I used to Pep-O-Mint Life Savers like they were going out of style. Speaking of Life Savers that are going out of style, the original 5 Flavor Roll is making a permanent change. The only original flavors remaining are pineapple and cherry. Out are lemon, lime, and orange. The new flavors, including cherry and pineapple, are watermelon, raspberry, and blackberry.

Peppermint hard candies, often offered for free at restaurants, are quite good. Butterscotch hard candies are good too.
ah yeah, the peppermint candy (or the “sagamint” as we called them at college) are quite tasty. And what is up with Life Savers changing? But i can see why they are changing the flavors, alot of them are duds. Good for them, putting in better flavors. I’m all for that change.
It’s funny when I post things about how i don’t like something, because then everyone knows I don’t like it, and when someone offers me something I don’t like, other people like to point out that I don’t like it, and it becomes an awful social situation. Like carrot cake. I formed an anti-carrot-cake group on yahoo, and now whenver we have carrot cake at work, people like to point out how i don’t like it. Well, I’ll eat it and enjoy it, but it’s not one of my favorite things. Plus, carrot cake is so easy to make fun of.
And some carrot cakes I really like. For instance, Tom Saaristo’s carrot cake is very yummy. And i’m not just sayin that cuz he reads my blog, either.

when i was a kid, my mom wouldn’t let us have hard candy (or gum) because she was afraid we’d choke on it. once my little sister (who was about 5) got some hard candy and ate it in the car after school, and my mom drove the entire after-school carpool to the doctors office because she was afraid my sister had choked on it (my sister just ate it, no sign of choking or anything, she was smiling away). my mom was a little overprotective when i was a kid.

i like counting crows
I usually use hard candy in lieu of cough drops. Tastes much better, and no nasty menthol.
i like tamarind hard candy
