    They used to be the last candy I would eat out of my Halloween stash. Now as a middle aged man, I still eat them, I still hate them … but they always make me think of Halloween as a kid.

    I kept a dozen of them this year and I eat them just for the nostalgia.

        Like Molasses … like a thick pasty sugary burnt tar … almost like licorice but not quite there

        But the modern stuff is not quite like the old original stuff from 30/40 years ago. The modern stuff is more like sugary taffy or flavourless caramel.
