Mrs. Peel Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Purple. Always purple. Especially purple SweeTarts. For some reason they were a little bit softer than the others. And purple Nerds kick butt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I voted purple, but red is often my actual favorite. Depends on which junk candy we're talking about. As for SweeTarts ... definitely purple. For some reason I don't like the red ones that much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Purple. Always purple. Especially purple SweeTarts. That's actually what inspired this goddam poll. Why does purple seem to be so rare sometimes? If it were up to me, they'd make entire rolls of purple Sweetarts, just like they do for the cherry Lifesavers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I don't think my teeth would survive very long if they made rolls of purple Sweetarts. Am I right about the purple ones being just a little easier to chew? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 I don't know about that, but they sure remind me of grape chewable Tylenols of yore. I remember when my Ma gave me a non-chewable Tylenol for the first time. Man did that not chew well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Am I right about the purple ones being just a little easier to chew?I've experienced that. I always figured it had something to do with how long that particular roll of SweeTarts had been sitting on the shelf. Typically I don't notice much difference, but when I do, it's the purple that are a bit softer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
embiggen Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I picked yellow. I love the sweet/sour lemony goodness of a yellow sweet tart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jess, you can have all my yellow SweeTarts. I'll mail 'em to you. Sadly, I won't be eating SweeTarts for a while ... laying off the sugar, probably until at least Easter.

They have 3-packs of giant chewy Sweetarts. Also, you can get bags of mini Sweetarts that are pretty much guaranteed to cause stomach pain for any serious Sweettarts fan. They are so easy to eat. I've eaten entire bags before- like 10 servings' worth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 This thread is going to kill me. I so could go for some SweeTarts right about now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

owl Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 white Smarties Ah, Smarties rule. I can eat pack after pack of those things in one bite. Ever have the jumbo sized Smarties, though? Not as good. Smarties lollies are pretty good, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viatroy Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I just like the little ones, but obviously, they have to be sorted before being eaten. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Ha, I do that mostly with the SweeTarts. Smarties go right into the mouth, all at once, unsorted. The white ones are definitely the best, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I just like the little ones, but obviously, they have to be sorted before being eaten. I do that too. I'll eat multiple Smarties at one time but they all have to be the same color. I don't sort SweeTarts though, as I like to be surprised (or disappointed) one at a time as I unroll the wrapper.

cryptique Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I always sort (and stack) my SweeTarts. I'm always pissed when there's only one or two purple and half a dozen yellow. Sometimes there are NO purple. Grounds for a refund, that is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
