spearmint slices (just like orange slices, but toothpaste-flavored)
red and white peppermints
green and white peppermints
butterscotch
I don't mean to look a gift horse in the mouth, but seriously, what the hell? This candy will remain in my house forever, unless I pass it on to someone I don't like. Or some very sweet elderly folks. I'm wondering what sort of so-called treats are likely to remain in other's homes, untouched for all of eternity? Or until an apocalyptic event of some kind?
I actually like all those to a degree. I'm a gumdrop whore. But one thing that really maddens me is that all the turkish delight I ever see has nuts in it. otherwise, I'd be all over that like Michael Douglas on Sharon Stone.
