3. These are mostly chocolate based candies
My favorite has to be jolly rancher.

Or maybe sweet tarts.

5. hey
"I get the Reese's candy bar. If you read that name "Reese's" that's an apostrophe S. Reese's apostrophe S at the end of that name. That means the candy bar is his. I didn't know that. Next time you're eating a Reese's candy bar and a guy name Reese comes by and says, "Let me have that," you better hand it over. "I'm sorry, Reese. I didn't think I'd ever run into you. You're a fucking bully, man. Let me at least have a piece."
-Mitch Hedberg

19. Yes! You got to smack it on things so it would break apart.
GREAT for the teeth, I totally loved it. I like all kinds of candy, including Skittles, Skittles. But I am addicted to chocolate, prefer really good chocolate, but will eat most anything in a pinch.

35. I eat mostly sugar based candy now
Like skittles, starbursts, runts, gobbstoppers, smarties, etc.
