First glance I thought it was a piece of raw steak. ๐Ÿคข

[โ€“] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It isn't? โ˜น๏ธ

[โ€“] BunnyKnuckles@startrek.website 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That appears to be a strawberry 'now and later' candy.

[โ€“] dingus@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Now and Laters were just flat out...not good. I don't understand why people use to rave about them. It's like Starbursts but they are infinitely worse because they are made of literal rocks and taste like the shitty paper they are wrapped in.

[โ€“] ysjet@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

looks like a cherry starburst to me, which are pretty common to have the wrapper stick to them.

[โ€“] Deebster@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I thought it was tuna (or other sashimi) with a little fat on it. Either way, that emoji does not convey my reaction at all.

[โ€“] Fisch@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I thought so until I read your comment ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought it was a dog bacon treat, and the answer is yes, wrapper and all.

...Woof

[โ€“] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 50 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Absolutely. Used to happen all the time with Now & Laters.

[โ€“] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 20 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I think that's what's pictured, right ? Because I instantly got the sour cherry with hints of paper flavor in my mouth when I looked at that,

[โ€“] Jerb322@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Definitely a Now n' Later. So many of these in my past.

[โ€“] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 years ago

You're probably right. At first I thought it was Starburst but it does look more like a Now & Later.

[โ€“] Kaliax@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Absolutely. Now & Laters, bby.

[โ€“] Assman@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

A now & later yonked my loose tooth out when I was eight

[โ€“] OpenStars@startrek.website 23 points 2 years ago

The amount of effort to paper ratio is too high, and I need a snack dammit!

[โ€“] Etterra@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Eh what's a little cellulose between snacks?

[โ€“] kromem@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Wait - you can peel them!?!

[โ€“] nul9o9@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Last month i made myself a sandwich and accidentally left the little piece of wax paper that keeps the cheese separate in there.

I realized something was off on my second bite, opened the sandwich, and saw that i took a big ass bite off the wax paper and swallowed it.

[โ€“] Kase@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Have you noticed any new superpowers since then?

[โ€“] Maggoty@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Nope. In my darkest hours getting that last bit of paper off was a welcome distraction.

[โ€“] pythonoob@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago

Yes of course

[โ€“] someguy3@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

What is that? (The red thing before everyone says paper.)

[โ€“] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like a Now and Later.

[โ€“] talentedkiwi@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Definitely a now and later. I had one a few days ago leftover from Halloween. It did this exactly. Yes, I did eat the paper because why not.

[โ€“] deepfriedchril@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Possibly some kind of taffy sort of candy

[โ€“] Jerb322@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

It's a "Now n' Later" ! I use to kill these. I miss not caring about what I ate.

[โ€“] x4740N@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have you not heard of starburst's

Starburst

Don't know what the hell the other person is saying

[โ€“] x4740N@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The thing in op's post is squarish

[โ€“] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh it's a perspective trick.

Now and later

Well, there's another one for the stupid-candy-names-list. It can go right under "hundreds and thousands"

[โ€“] Skipper_the_Eyechild@lemmings.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But what's a single one of those called?

A one? A hundredth and thousandth??

I need to know!!

Eating the paper is half the fun of candy dots.

[โ€“] phorq@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Is that not what they mean when they say something's a good source of fiber?

[โ€“] edinbruh@feddit.it 6 points 2 years ago
[โ€“] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait, there's Candy in there?? What have I been eating this whole time??

[โ€“] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago

Disgusting candy covered in sweet, delicious paper.

[โ€“] weirdbeardgame@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

You guys don't eat those with half the wrapper attached because the stickiness level of that candy is so powerful it practically has a gravitational force strong enough to attract the sun? ... No, just me?

That's like half the flavor right there

[โ€“] Neato@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yes. It HURTS to chew paper. Don't do this.

Yes. Just swallow. Don't chew.

[โ€“] XTornado@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Sandpaper maybe... But normal paper....

[โ€“] NucleusAdumbens@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Mmm that's the best part

[โ€“] ohlaph@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Sadly, maybe.

[โ€“] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[โ€“] bradons@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I like to say the first time was an accident, I'm not sure if I ever believe that.
