I'm as bored as the next guy in this quarantine so I've gotten way too involved in these polls, but I just tried voting and had to skip nearly half of them as I don't even know what they are haha. My lack of a sweet tooth really cost me this time!

They were wrapped in white paper and came in a faux cigarette pack. You could blow through them and "smoke" appeared then you took off the paper and chewed the gum.

Also remember black licorice cigars and pipes.

Start 'em young.
Magic Blows was another brand where you could puff out flour.

I miss Punkies. Those were fataing awesome.

That's why I was sayin I only voted on the candies I know and like, and skipped the matchups I didn't have a clue about, to avoid complete guessing votes. Yeah this one deff ain't my bracket.. I'll have to wait for the next one

What?
Wine gums are fine, but no where near the top of the list.

I am a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to wine gums. If I am going domestic, Maynards is about the only thing I will eat. The true wine gum champion is from the Banff Candy Store. They have a variety called "Irish Wine Gums" that are about the best candy known to man. The flavours are different so green is apple and there is a blue one too. These are addictive. Couple years ago on a guys weekend to Banff, I introduced them to a buddy of mine and he bought a 2 pound bag. He ended up crushing the whole thing by 9pm and left most of it in the woods on the side of a tree.

Astro pops were quite popular at one time. I wonder how many kids stabbed their throats out on them...

Only if you like eating something with the texture of hardened flour. Gross.

Also cherry twists? Are those off-brand twizzlers? Edible licorice comes in two varieties, old school black licorice, which is a very acquired taste, and twizzlers. The rest is dyed wax.

Anyone else annoyed when skittles changed the original green lime to green apple a few years back? Used to eat skittles on the regular but now barely touch them as lime was easily my favourite.

Anyone else never realize skittles had different flavour based on colour? I just thought they were generic 'sour fruity' flavour. I usually eat a few at once I never considered sorting them.

Wine gums should likely dance into the semis with a fierce battle against Dino-Sours.

Pitting Green Frogs against Starbust in the first round was about as sadistic and twisted as it gets. What kind of demented sicko would delight in such a cruel game. I feel like I just lived through the entire Saw movie franchise and Jigsaw just reveled in my pain and anguish as I was forced to choose between the tantalizing Starbust and the most reliable 5 cent candy in existence the Green Frog. I almost abstained from voting in that matchup simply out of sheer horror and disgust.
