D&D General D&D is like candy corn

Woops, wrong thread.

I thought it was perfectly apropos, feel free to put it back!

That poor, poor, whiskey...

Distilled corn with solidifed corn syrup. My gut reaction is unpleasant, but I could see it working and would be willing to try it.

This one's for @payn:

Oh wait! Very not family friendly. Look up Lewis Black candy corn on youtube. IF YOU DARE.

Hey, this year I tried Cap'n Crunch-infused whiskey. That actually worked really well, probably better than the candy corn did.

It was pretty good - candy corn infuses into liquor really easily, but doesn't overpower.

Did it slash the roof of your mouth?

I have to wonder why you wouldn't just pour a little corn syrup & vanilla extract into the whiskey, though. But there's more to candy corn than just those two things, of course.

Ridiculous. For that analogy to work, you need a candy that a lot of people like, and some don't; not vice-versa!

Nastiest. Candy. Ever.

But then I like salmiakki.

At least people who like salmiak and licorice won't try to convince anyone that it isn't revolting.

It definitely is. Given it's popularity in northern Europe, I suspect that tolerance for it is partly genetic.

And for everyone who can enjoy six minutes of angry swearing and profanity, I very much recommend searching youtube for "Lewis Black Candy Corn".

Considering I actually like candy corn (though I prefer the candy pumpkin variety)...sure?

the pumpkin candy is the best

It's delightfully revolting. But then I'm 1/4 Finnish.

Now the xylitol salmiakki, that's truly nasty. Don't eat that stuff. (Xylitol is a sugar substitute derived from birch bark, also a Finnish thing. Oi, Finland, what's up with all that?)

I looked for a good youtube "salmiakki challenge" video but it was very hit or miss. Only one genuine spit-take out of the whole lot.
