Do You Like Circus Peanuts?

[Placebo]

I won't lie, I find their mushy (sometimes hard) texture, orange appearance, and deceiving taste extremely...unsettling.

[_testify_]

1. I hurled after eating those when I was kid.

Never again.

[SeattleGirl]

2. The texture is just God-awful!

Gives me the shivers just THINKING about biting into one! :scared:

[deucemagnet]

3. Blecch!

Just looking at that picture puts a bad taste in my mouth. x(

[LadyoftheRabbits]

4. Holy crap...

I can hardly look at them... my great grandmother is the only person I know of who actually ate them. :puke:

[Placebo]

7. As I suspected...

it's also probably a generational thing.

[Dangerously Amused]

5. I have a friend who loves them,

...but I find them repulsive. Looks, taste, texture, smell... oh god, I think I'm gonna...

[azmouse]

6. I think they're called 'Circus' peanuts because

they taste like the circus animal's sh*t. :scared:

[Chiyo-chichi]

8. THESE Circus Peanuts?

[myrna minx]

9. They made me queasy when I was a kid, and just looking at

that photo makes me want to :puke: :scared:

[atomic-fly]

10. they actually taste like fake banana...gross!

we used to buy them to see who would eat them.

[Placebo]

11. I never got that.

Why colour something called a peanut orange, and then flavour it like artificial banana! :shrug:

[NewWaveChick1981]

12. Hey, hey, hey.... I love circus peanuts!

I never met a candy I didn't like. I don't know anyone else who likes them, but I do. :9

[Placebo]

15. I think you can buy 5 for 25¢...

Just sayin'. :P

[Phentex]

23. I love them and will BUY them

sometimes. No one else eats them so they're MINE MINE MINE! :)

I've heard the marshmallows in Lucky Charms are based on the same recipe.

[Placebo]

25. Don't ya think...

the fact that no one else will eat them isn't just coincidence? :P

[Phentex]

28. Nah. Some people give spinach a bad name too.

:)

Why would they keep making so many of them if no one eats them? or, do you suppose they only made one batch and we're still buying those? :D

[Placebo]

29. Fucking fascists. Bashing spinach.

And yes, from the taste of them, I do suspect as such about that 1 sole infamous batch.

That being said, they still make a lot of things that almost no one eats.

[AzDar]

30. I LOVE them. And those marshmallow 'ice-cream' cones..I ate 36

(a whole TUB)over the July 4th weekend.
My family was stunned and amazed.

[JohnKleeb]

13. Not my favorite candy but I like them

The worst candy out there is candy corn for the record/

[Placebo]

14. Candy Corn is f'n delicious!

And everyone knows it.

Except you.

[JohnKleeb]

16. I'll make you a deal

When I get my braces off some time after the next millenia, I'll give it another try.

[scarlet_owl]

17. I love circus peanuts.

[Placebo]

18. Why?

I doubt they love you back.

They're selfish little buggers.

[zanne]

19. Strangely, it's because of the texture.

The same flavor in cracker form would gross me out. (I can't believe I'm sitting at my computer on a weekday afternoon, talking about candy peanuts). I really need a life.

[Placebo]

21. Hey, we ALL are.

So it's cool. :)

[Silver Swan]

20. Nostalgia

I answered yes because I like them as a kid. I haven't had any in probably forty years.

I did get a whiff of some maybe twenty years ago. The aroma brought back memories!

[TimeChaser]

22. I love 'em stale

[Placebo]

24. That's just perverse.

:P

[RiffRandell]

26. Gagsville! n/t

[bikebloke]

27. Used to like them as a kid

And I haven't had them since then. It's been a while since I was a kid.

[madrchsod]

31. yes.. but they have to be fresh

over a day old and then they are awful
