My mental state
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
First glance I thought it was a piece of raw steak. 🤢
It isn't? ☹️
That appears to be a strawberry 'now and later' candy.
Now and Laters were just flat out...not good. I don't understand why people use to rave about them. It's like Starbursts but they are infinitely worse because they are made of literal rocks and taste like the shitty paper they are wrapped in.
looks like a cherry starburst to me, which are pretty common to have the wrapper stick to them.
I thought it was tuna (or other sashimi) with a little fat on it. Either way, that emoji does not convey my reaction at all.
I thought so until I read your comment 😂
I thought it was a dog bacon treat, and the answer is yes, wrapper and all.
...Woof
Meatflesh
Absolutely. Used to happen all the time with Now & Laters.
I think that's what's pictured, right ? Because I instantly got the sour cherry with hints of paper flavor in my mouth when I looked at that,
Definitely a Now n' Later. So many of these in my past.
You're probably right. At first I thought it was Starburst but it does look more like a Now & Later.
Absolutely. Now & Laters, bby.
A now & later yonked my loose tooth out when I was eight
The amount of effort to paper ratio is too high, and I need a snack dammit!
Eh what's a little cellulose between snacks?
Last month i made myself a sandwich and accidentally left the little piece of wax paper that keeps the cheese separate in there.
I realized something was off on my second bite, opened the sandwich, and saw that i took a big ass bite off the wax paper and swallowed it.
Have you noticed any new superpowers since then?
Wait - you can peel them!?!
Nope. In my darkest hours getting that last bit of paper off was a welcome distraction.
Yes of course
What is that? (The red thing before everyone says paper.)
Possibly some kind of taffy sort of candy
It's a "Now n' Later" ! I use to kill these. I miss not caring about what I ate.
Starburst
Don't know what the hell the other person is saying
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starburst_(candy)
Starburst is squarish.
The thing in op's post is squarish
Oh it's a perspective trick.
I don't often eat these nowadays, but if you remind me that they used to be called Opal Fruits they taste better.
I don't feel like I've ever had the paper get stuck to a Starburst like that. Starbursts seem to be wrapped in a waxy-coated paper that doesn't stick to the candy really.
Now and Laters are wrapped in the cheapest shit paper and it gets stuck to the damn things. Then when you finally rip all the paper off and put it in your mouth it's like trying to eat a slightly flavored rock. I never understood why all the kids loved them when I was little. Honestly a shit tier candy.
Eating the paper is half the fun of candy dots.
Now and later
Well, there's another one for the stupid-candy-names-list. It can go right under "hundreds and thousands"
But what's a single one of those called?
A one? A hundredth and thousandth??
I need to know!!

Is that not what they mean when they say something's a good source of fiber?
A little extra fiber for your diet
Every time
You guys don't eat those with half the wrapper attached because the stickiness level of that candy is so powerful it practically has a gravitational force strong enough to attract the sun? ... No, just me?
That's like half the flavor right there
Wait, there's Candy in there?? What have I been eating this whole time??
Disgusting candy covered in sweet, delicious paper.
Yes. It HURTS to chew paper. Don't do this.
Yes. Just swallow. Don't chew.
Sandpaper maybe... But normal paper....
Mmm that's the best part
Sadly, maybe.
Madlads
I like to say the first time was an accident, I'm not sure if I ever believe that.
