The best candy in the world

[greybeta]

We all get this hankering for a certain candy around Halloween time. I know a girl who gets the urge to have candy corn around this time, which I understand because I remember eating candy corn all the time in elementary school at this time of year.

But, that doesn't match up with the best candy on God's green earth. You haven't had sour candy until you've had mini-Tearjerkers bubble gum. It's sourness packed into one little powerful gumball of flavor (the burst lasts five seconds, but nonetheless it's a super rush). Of course, the only place I can find it now are at expensive candy stores, so I can only indulge so often. Still, I'm going to have to buy a pound of extra sour goodness for Halloween's this year.

My mom would set out bowls of candy corn each Halloween. Pure sugar, that stuff. I liked to bite it in sections, first the dark orange, then the yellow, then the white tip.

Now I want some, and I don't even like candy corn.

I don't think I've ever had the Tearjerkers. I never had a lot of sour candy, so I'll have to try it.

Crybabies are pretty good sour gum too. But they have nothing on mini-Tearjerks, which I heartily recommend ;).

you've come to the right place. I am *the* candy expert. Tearjerkers are pretty cheap at Super Targets (maybe available at regular Target too). They come in green bags labeled "I want sour" alongside sour patch kids and the like. :)

So they have been hiding at Super Targets, now have they? Those Tearjerkers won't escape me...
