Stupid Candy


If you are not familiar with Cherry Mash, it's this thing here:


It is roughly the size of a baby's fist, made entirely of sugar, and if you didn't grow up with it you'll probably hate it.  You might hate it even if you did grow up with it, but a lot of people don't (high praise there - try Cherry Mash, a lot of people don't hate it!)

It also never occurred to me that you can't find it outside of a certain area - it became my favorite candy when I lived in Florida because you couldn't buy it there, so I'd have to bring it back with me after visiting.  It was a little reminder of home, like Stephenson's apple butter (which you really can't get anymore) and truly epic local barbecue sauce.  

And it doesn't look like something you'd buy in a real store - it looks like something you'd find at your grandma's house.  Seriously, that's a weird wrapper.

Cherry Mash > anything pumpkin spice flavored.  Sorry, pumpkin spice.  You had your day.

Although I am hoping that caramel apple doesn't become the next big overdone fall flavor, because caramel apples are delicious and do not deserve to be ruined by overexposure.
