weird. what about good candy, like peanut butter cups?
Illegal in Japan at least due to a preservative used in it https://www.reuters.com/article/us-japan-candy-idUSBRE87L0IN20120822/
(Seiyu stopped making Reece's here (almost?) entirely so I only get them when family sends them or someone on one of the military bases is feeling kind and gifts us a pack).
Holy fuck.
That’s a really low bar you have there for “good candy.”
Sweets quality in US is shit overall. Their chocolate is simply disgusting and everything else is made to a lower standard.
gotta set the bar somewhere.
a fresh peanut butter cup is a joyous thing.
people putting down peanut butter cups as if they're some garbage candy .. tf has this world come to?
don't let Nerii there drag your estimation of a pbc down.
They are though and I say that as someone that loved them. If you're talking about the Reese's specifically, they've gotten shittier than they used to be. Lower-quality peanut butter, worse chocolate. They're gross now.
American chocolate really is trash. Head to Aldi and get some Schogetten or Choceur. You'll taste how much better the chocolate is.
I do like a peanut butter cup, but you know whats better? A spoon of quality peanut butter and a spoon of Nutella.
I'm a suckered for a peanut butter cup, but it is basically spreading peanut butter on the worst quality chocolate you can find.
