They still make those candy smokes, but the ones I saw after Halloween didn't have the red tip.....basically worthless.Haven't seen these in decades. No wonder kids are so nerdy nowadays. They never learned how to be cool by smoking candy cigarettes.

I do like celery, but it's not like diabetes made me never eat candy.
I just had to be so much more careful when trying any of it.
Before insulin pumps it was much more of a trial that could potentially end up with me in the hospital.
I've learned how to deal with any spikes better due to the pump, but after almost 20 years of not eating tons of candy, the sugar rush isn't as enticing without some awesome flavor being required.
While so much of that stuff looks awesome, the overly sweet nature would turn me off to it.
You kind of build an immunity to it.
The only real candy i ever loved was mike and ikes, ate so many prior to my diagnosis.
I still have some ever so often, i just need to be careful.
You get used to it.
But you guys do make a pressing ideal for my pump working overtime.
*edit*
It's being a diabetic kid around easter that fucking sucks.
Nothing but potential coma and death being passed around in school, and all you can do is say no.
I envy kids with insulin pumps today, they count carbs rather than evaluate what might kill them.
My grandpa would give these out to everyone he met. Cashiers, ushers, literally everyone. Its good I liked them so much.

This thread needs more Dutch, i.e. licorice. Not the sweet fake licorice you can buy outside of Holland, but the really salty stuff, with lots of ammoniumchloride (salmiak).
Licorice (drop) is so popular here, that there are entire licorice-shops, with tray after tray of all sorts of salty goodness.
Especially after craving it for a while, licorice just tastes soooo good. Just thinking about it makes me salivate.
This is one of my favorites: buy them per piece, nice and chewy, and so very salty:
These are salmiak coins. nice and soft, and salt.
These are called trekdrop, which means something like "stretchlicorice". They are chewy and stretch, it is like eating a very tasty bicycle tire.
These are a bit bouncy, the sugar goes nicely with the salty licorice, and off course the shape is nice.
These little coins are the mother of all licorice: they are called "DubbelZout" (DZ) which means double-salt, and they will contract your mouth as if eating a lemon, through sheer saltiness. Do not overeat. So lovely. Did you know that recent research shows that eating salt does not cause hypertension?
(though it *is* bad for you if you already suffer from hypertension...)
