Ever since I was a kid, I've always snuck candy into the theatre rather than pay for it there. My usual go-to movie snacks are red licorice and peanut M&Ms. The packages of red licorice at the theatres aren't entirely ridiculous for the price, but the small amount of M&Ms you get in a movie theatre for that price is utter blasphemy.

Oh, don't think we can't see what you are doing there, Mad Jack. You don't get to straddle the fence.

That's right. "Red Licorice." What, you want us to believe you go to some hoity-toity theater that has little bags of precious Australian-style licorice?

No. This is 'Murika. There are two kinds of red licorice. There are Twizzlers. And there are plastic garbage trash straws Red Vines. Choose a side, or stay in the middle and get run over.

Do they still sell Jujubes? Those things make dentists cry.

Hard to find in regular stores (aside from places that sell strictly candy), but you can get them online at a few places. CandyFavorites.com usually has a good selection of the old classics. If there's a Party City store in your area they've usually got a couple aisles full of candy as well.
I always preferred Dots myself.

Jujubes?

Dots?

What is wrong with you two? Everyone knows that there is only one* candy appropriate for inflicting maximum punishment. The candy equivalent of self-flagellation and a hairshirt.

Good.

Ampersand.

Plenty.


*Assuming you don't have access to sweet, sweet Necco wafers.

For candy punishment, try these... Claey's Oldfashioned Candies Horehound flavor

These things are nasty, lol. It's the candy equivalent of drinking Moxie.


Fun Fact: Not only have Necco Wafers been made with exactly the same recipe since back during the American Civil War, but some of those original wafers are still on store shelves. :)

So .... PURE DELICIOUSNESS!

Three out of Four Mainers Prefer Moxie. And the other guy isn't even wearing hunter's orange.

As for something worse?

Rasinettes or Goobers?

Goobers.

C'mon, now. Any candy with raisins is like a puppy dog getting kicked. Raisins are the bards of the candy world. They are the lies that parents tell you.

Every raisin that you see in a Raisinette is simply a raisin that escaped their proper fate as the "good" part of a fruitcake. I mean ... just think about it. What the one thing you can add to BRAN to make the bran the best part of a breakfast cereal?

That's right. Raisins.

Licorice is not a theatre staple in Australia. The classics are Maltesers

and Jaffas.

When it comes to throwing lollies Jaffas are hands down the winner; hard and aerodynamic.
