That’s a great idea Heather! I would definitely write that article, but here at Candy Addict we encourage people not on our staff to submit as a guest writer. Since it’s your idea, want to give it a shot? I’m sure lots of willing eyes would devour it.

Nice post Robby, but what about a top 10 best discontinued candies article? I can think of quite a few candies from my childhood, as well as limited editions that were far too short lived.

Just to let you know, Coco, Nerds jelly beans are now being released year round. I never actually got to try them during Easter time, but I heard all the hype about them. Then, a few weeks later they popped up in the candy aisle as "Giant Chewy Nerds." Though I can't say that I was addicted enough to buy another bag, I'll agree that they were a pretty decent spin-off and definitely surpass the original Nerds. However, I'm more partial to the "Nerds rope" that has been out for a few years now.

ooooo Nerds jelly beans. Those need to be available all year round! Those were gone out of my Easter basket before anything else!

No love for the Dark Chocolate-Dipped Altoids? They are manna in a tin as far as I'm concerned.

I would love to add Altoids Sours to your list – I’m that weirdo that doesn’t like mint, but those Tangerine Sours…I had to stop buying them because I was getting through a tin a day and I was afraid my teeth would fall out. And I don’t even love hard candies that much. And Monica – I wholly agree about the Milky Way Midnight bar – much better than the original.

I didn’t really like these. The texture was gritty and they were way too sour to be enjoyable.
