| Altoids Gum || Altoids || England || Small rounded-square gum with thin hard-candy shells sold in a small tin. Flavors include peppermint, cinnamon, wintergreen, spearmint, sour apple, and sour cherry. I've only had the peppermint which was okay, and the sour cherry, which I don't remember liking.
 +
|-
 +
| Bazooka Joe Bubble Gum || Topps || USA || A small rectangular piece of bubble gum wrapped with a tiny comic strip. When I was a kid the flavors included bubble gum, cherry, grape, and apple, but now only bubble gum flavor is sold. The gum also had groves on one side, but there were eliminated in the remake, and the gum was slightly smaller. All versions of the gum lost its flavor pretty quickly and was exceptionally hard. A special soft version was released. When I was in grade school, they redid the comics and character designs. I didn't care much for the later designs. The comic strips had a gag, a fortune, and a item that you could get by mailing in comics and money.
 +
|-
 +
| Beemans || Verburg || USA || Wintergreen flavored gum. Current style is pretty awful. Originally contained pepsin to control digestion, but no longer does.
 +

| Big Choice - Gum Cigars || Swell || USA || Bubblegum shaped like a cigar with a cigar label and individually wrapped. Decent gum, not exactly kid-friendly. Flavors are fruit, mint, and banana.

|-
 +
| Big Red || Wrigley || USA || A strong cinnamon flavor. My favorite cinnamon gum.
 +
|-
 +
| Big League Chew || Ford Gum || USA || Shredded bubblegum in a pouch to resemble chewing tobacco. The flavors are usually great, the gum stays soft for a long time, and who doesn't love the idea of selling something which resembles chewing tobacco to children? My favorite flavors include bubblegum, grape, watermelon, strawberry. I remember having a sour apple flavored, but it was too sour to appreciate. I had cotton candy, but I don't remember the flavor.
 +
|-
 +
| Black Jack || Verburg || USA || A licorice flavored gum. Nice at first, but nauseates me after chewing for awhile.
 +
|-
 +
| Boby Bubble || Nahla || Iraq || Bubblegum with a comic. It's packaged nearly identical to Bazooka Joe. It looks like they took American comics and just removed the dialogue. There are several wrapper colors, but they all have the same generic pink flavor which is decent, but it becomes hard quickly making it difficult to blow bubbles.
 +
|-
 +
| Bubble Jug || Wrigley || USA || A small plastic jug filled with tiny bubble gum pellets and flavored powered sugar. Eating it was difficult and messy and resulted in a mouth full of powder. The only flavor I tried was tropical fruit.

 +
| Bubble Tape || Wrigley || USA || Six feet of bubble gum stored in a plastic dispenser. Originally it came in a simple capped cylinder, but later versions had a built in slicers. A lot of flavors were made, but my favorites were grape, bubblegum, and strawberry. A Juicy Fruit flavor was made, but the texture was too different from the original for me to find it appealing. I once put an entire bubblegum flavored Bubble Tape roll in my mouth all at once just to see if it was possible. It took awhile, and a lot of drool, but I did it. A short-lived 10 foot long Mega Roll was made which used slightly thinner and narrower gum.
 +
|-
 +
| Bubblegum Cigarettes || World Confections || USA || Bubblegum wrapped in a paper to look like a cigarette in a box that used cigarette-like graphics. Even has powdered sugar you could blow out to make it look like smoke (though this only works once). Hard bland gum. A great way to convince children that smoking is cool.

|-
| Albanese Gummi Bears || USA || My favorite brand for gummy. Softer than most competitors with a large variety of flavors, including: grape, blue raspberry, pineapple, pink grapefruit, green apple, watermelon, lime, strawberry, cherry, lemon, mango, and orange.
+
| Ahlgrens Bilar - Original || Sweden || Sweet marshmallow cars with a hint fruit flavor. There are three flavors, but I can't identify any of them. The texture is unique. They're airy, so they collapse from a bite, but then they become rather dense. It's unique, but not unpleasant. Flavors are pink, green, white.
 
|-
 
|-
| Black Forest Gummy Bears || USA || Better than Harbio, but not as good as Albanese.
+
| Airheads || USA, Kentucky || Chewy candy strips in a wide variety of flavors. I don't like the texture, they're far too grainy.
 
|-
 
|-
| Bonds of London Fruit Pastilles || London || Gummy candies coated in sugar. Basically, firm gumdrops, but made with real fruit juice. Better than most American gumdrops.
+
| Airheads Bites - Rainbow Berry || USA || Small chewy rainbow-colored candies. Better texture than ordinary Airheads and good semi-sour flavor.
 
|-
 
|-
| Candy Corn || USA || A chewy sugary candy shaped in a corn kernel-shaped pyramid, with orange, yellow, and white coloring. Pretty bland.
+
| Albanese Gummi Bears ★ || USA || My favorite brand for gummy. Softer than most competitors with a large variety of flavors, including: grape, blue raspberry, pineapple, pink grapefruit, green apple, watermelon, lime, strawberry, cherry, lemon, mango, and orange.
 +
|-
 +
| Albanese Gummi Bears - Ultimate || USA || An all-natural flavors and colors variety. Half the flavors are so muted they're difficult to discern, and the similar colors don't help, the others like orange and mango are kind of gross. Flavors are: Amity Raspberry, Queen pineapple, crimson cranberry, black currant, Fuji apple, Asian pear, blood orange, and Alphonso mango.
 +
|-
 +
| Amelio C. Enterprises - Cactus Candy || USA, Arizona || Firm jelly candy made with prickly pear cactus juice and coated in granular sugar. Great flavor.

| Annabelle's - Abba-Zaba - Peanut Butter || USA, California || An unflavored taffy bar filled with creamy peanut butter. Nice taffy texture, but a very strange and messy combination.
 +
|-
 +
| Arizona Fruit Snacks - Arizona Beverages || USA || Because, when I think iced tea, I think fruit snacks. Varieties are Mixed Fruit (flavors are fruit punch, watermelon, grapeade, mucho mango, and orangeade) and Green Tea (plum blueberry, apple, green tea, and mandarin). The lack of artificial colors and only two shapes (tea can and Arizona logo) makes it had to distinguish the flavors, and, the lack of artificial flavors makes them all taste mild compared to other candy. There also isn't an even variety, the candy is mostly the cheaper flavors.
 +

 +
|-
 +
| Brach's - Autumn Mix - Ferrara || Mexico || Two kinds of candy corn and pumpkins. The normal candy corn and pumpkins have the same traditional marshmallow flavor. The candy corn with brown on the bottom has a fudge flavor. Very much what you'd expect.
 +
|-
 +
| Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea - Toko || Taiwan || A chocolate gumdrop with a chocolate and brown sugar tea coating.
 +

It was brought back in 2008 with raspberry replaced with blue raspberry.

| Pop Rocks || USA || Candy crystal with cavities filled with slightly pressurized carbon dioxide. When the shell weakens, from coming into contact with silvia, the gas escapes with a small pop which creates a tingling sensation in your mouth. There are various flavors. While I like the idea of the candy, it's too expensive for the small amount you get in each pack.

| Pez || USA || Pressed powered sugar tablets meant to be put into cheap plastic dispensers. Even as a child, I found the dispensers only get in the way of eating the candy. The flavors are mild, but not unpleasant. In order: raspberry, lemon, strawberry, orange, and sugar cookie.

I eat so much candy I don't understand how I'm not diabetic. Anyway, here is a list of candies I have eaten and my opinion of them all. See also, list of snack foods.

Candy Bars and Chocolates

Candy Nation Notes
3 Musketeers USA Chocolate nougat coated in chocolate. Nice and fluffy, but a bit boring. Originally sold with three bars: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, but only chocolate remains. I wish I could buy it in three flavors because I've never had them.
100 Grand USA Caramel-coated in puffed rice all coated in chocolate. The puffed rice adds a nice crispiness making an otherwise boring candy enjoyable.
Alfie - Milk & Strawberry Thailand Candy bar with crispies in it, half strawberry, half milk. Strange texture that leaves an odd film in your mouth.
Almond Joy USA Sweetened coconut with whole almonds and coated in chocolate. Very good, nice crunch from the almonds. Better than Mounds.
Andes Mints USA Layered milk chocolate and mint. Nice flavor.
Baby Ruth USA A bar of nougat topped with caramel and covered in peanuts, all coated in milk chocolate. Fairly good, but I prefer a Pay Day.
Bounty The Netherlands Sweetened coconut in milk chocolate. Basically Mounds, but with milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate. I like Mounds more.
Bun USA A soft patty coated in chocolate with nuts. Flavors include: maple, caramel, and vanilla. Far too sweet.
Butterfinger USA Crispy peanut butter and honey center coated in chocolate. I used to love it but they switched the formula in 2019 and gave it a stronger roasted flavor, but it now has an almost burnt bitterness to it which I don't like as much.
Cadbury - Crunchie Ireland Aerated crunchy honey candy coated in milk chocolate. Not bad.
Cadbury - Double Decker UK A milk chocolate candy bar with marshmallow nougat on top and cereal crispies on the bottom. Pretty good.
Cadbury - Flake UK Thin layers of milk chocolate folded into a bar. Makes for an interesting texture, but it's still just milk chocolate.
Cadbury - Fudge UK Fudge coated in milk chocolate. Quite good. Note that this is not chocolate fudge.
Cadbury - Mini Eggs USA Milk chocolate "eggs" with a thin candy shell. The candy coating has an interesting egg-like crackly texture, but neither it nor the chocolate taste all that good.
Caramel Smooth Milky way knock-off from Meijer. Has a more mealy flavor.
Caramello - Cadbury USA Milk chocolate bar with pockets of soft caramel. Extremely sweet, with a strange taste. Ghirardelli Squares with caramel are much better.
Carlos V Mexico Solid milk chocolate bar. Really good smooth chocolate like Dove. One of the best.
Charles Chocolates - Nuggle Trinidad and Tobago A bar of nougat covered in peanuts and a little caramel, all coated in milk chocolate. Very similar to a Baby Ruth, but with less caramel.
Charles Chocolates - Ping Pong Trinidad and Tobago Milk chocolate covered peanuts. Not bad.
Chocoball - Pineapple Japan Small balls of biscuit coated in candy. The pineapple flavor is very accurate.
Chocolate Fish Australia Cherry fish-shaped soft marshmallow coated in dark chocolate. It's okay.
Chokis - Frito Lay Colombia Semi-sweet chocolate balls with an airy puffed corn center. Nice flavor and good texture.
Chunky USA Peanuts and raisins in a thick square chocolate bar. Hard to break, the raisins hurt the flavor.
Coffee Crisp - Nestle Canada, Ontario Coffee flavored sandwich wafer wrapped in milk chocolate. Not bad.
Côte d'Or - Milk Dessert - Mondelez ★ Belgium A Milk chocolate bar filled with Belgium praline (a very soft milk chocolate). Very good.
Corona - Crispy Chocolate Egypt A milk chocolate bar with rice crispies in it. It's okay, but the chocolate is only so-so.
Crunky - King Mona - Lotte Japan A white chocolate candy bar with ice cream flavor and little bits of ice cream cone mixed in. Very good.
Daim Sweden Chocolate covered almond toffee. Very delicious, similar to a Heath bar.
de la Rosa - Mazapán Original Mexico Powdered peanuts and sugar flattened into a disc. Kind of dry and boring.
de la Rosa - Nugs Mexico Milk chocolate bar with peanuts and caramel. Strange flavor, but good.
Délichoc Choco'Bar - Delacre Belgium A cookie bar coated in milk chocolate and little candy bits. A little boring, but tastes nice.
Devon's Mackinac Island Fudge USA, Michigan I've had the maple pecan flavor. It's very delicious, but so sweet, it must be eaten in small bites.
Dove - Chocolate USA Chocolate with a nice smooth texture. Better than the cheaper brands like Hershey. I prefer milk over dark.
Dove - Caramel Chocolate USA Dove's milk chocolate filled caramel. Better than Caramello, but not as good as Ghirardelli. Comes in milk and dark. I prefer milk, but dark is still very good.
Dove - Dark Chocolate & Mint Swirl USA, New Jersey The mint helps sweeten the bitterness of the dark chocolate and makes it taste delicious.
Drops Nazaré - Torrão Nougat Portugal Chopped peanuts molded into a bar with caramelized sugar. Gives it a burnt flavor which is bitter, but not awful.
Dumle Snacks - Original Finland Milk chocolate and crispy rice with a soft toffee filling. Delicious.
E. Wedel - Jedyna - Czekolada Wyborowa Poland A bar of dark chocolate. As bitter as you'd expect.

Fin Carré - Milk Chocolate with Roasted Hazelnuts Germany Milk chocolate with whole roasted hazelnuts. The chocolate is quite good, and the nuts add a lot of flavor and texture.
Fin Carré - White Chocolate Germany An acceptable white chocolate.
Flow - Jumbo Colombia Nougat topped with peanuts and caramel all wrapped in milk chocolate. Very similar to a Snickers, but not as good.
Fredrick's - Blood Orange Flavored Caramel Dark Chocolate - Meijer USA, Michigan A flat dark chocolate bar with a filling of bitter orange caramel. Not bad, but not great.
Fredrick's - Candied Chocolate Cherries - Meijer USA, Michigan A dried cherry coated in a layer of milk chocolate, then a layer of white chocolate (dyed red). Nice flavor.
Fredrick's - Candy Cane Yogurt Almonds - Meijer USA, Michigan Almonds coated with a layer of dark chocolate, then a layer of yogurt with tiny bits of peppermint candy in it. Although there is a crunch of the candy, the peppermint flavor is very mild.
Fredrick's - English Style Toffee Bites - Meijer USA, Michigan Milk chocolate coated hard toffee. Like a Heath bar with fewer almonds and not as good.
Fredrick's - Gingerbread Malted Milk Balls USA, Michigan Large malt balls coated in white chocolate with a powerful amount of ginger. Gingerbread isn't usually so strong, it's a bit overpowering.
Fredrick's - Key Lime Cordials - Meijer USA, Michigan A green candy ball with a hollow chocolate center, filled with key lime cordial. Quite good.
Fredrick's - Waffle Cone - Meijer USA, Michigan Milk chocolate bar with caramel and waffle cone bits on the back. Good, but you can barely taste the few waffle cone bits.

Flavors include: dark chocolate filled with raspberry ★, salted dark chocolate filled with caramel ★, dark chocolate filled with mint ★, milk chocolate with caramel and green apple, dark chocolate filled with caramel, milk chocolate filled with caramel, white chocolate filled with caramel, milk chocolate and white chocolate with peppermint candy, and plain dark chocolate.

Ghirardelli Bunnies USA, California Ghirardelli milk chocolate filled with caramel, but in a rabbit shape. Just as delicious.
Glosette Canada, Ontario Chocolate-covered peanuts. Exactly what you'd expect.
Gol Columbia Sandwich wafer with milk creme covered in milk chocolate and chopped nuts. Decent.
Goldenberg's Peanut Chews - Just Born USA, Pennsylvania Little candy bars filled with peanuts, and chewy molasses chew all coated in semi-dark chocolate. Pretty good.

Hershey's Eggs USA, Pennsylvania Chocolate eggs for Easter wrapped in pastel foil. Flavors include white chocolate with sprinkles (decent), milk chocolate (boring), dark chocolate (also boring).

Hershey - KitKat - Blueberry Muffin USA, Pennsylvania KitKat coated in a white chocolate which tastes remarkably close to a blueberry muffin. Very good.

Lazy Cow Ukraine Crispy wafer with sweetened milk flavoring coated in chocolate. Very good.
Lindt - Classic Recipe - Hazlenut Switzerland A large milk chocolate bar with chopped roasted hazelnuts. Very tasty.
Lindt - Excellence - Chili USA, New Hampshire A large dark chocolate bar with chili extract. The dark chocolate is bitter, and the chili just adds heat, not much flavor. Not a fan.
Lindt - Excellence - Intense Orange USA, New Hampshire A large dark chocolate bar with almonds, orange, and various other fruit extracts. The bitterness of the dark chocolate is helped by the fruit. It's decent.
Lindt - Gourmet Truffles USA, New Hampshire An assortment of Lindors. Flavors include caramel dark chocolate, fudge swirl milk chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. Overly sweet. I only enjoyed the caramel.
Lindt - Lindor USA, New Hampshire A milk chocolate shell with a soft filling. Fillings include fudge swirl, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. Good, but extremely sweet, and not worth the calories.
M&M's USA, New Jersey Candy-coated milk chocolate bites. The original is plain chocolate, but various fillings have been tried over the years.

Mallo Cup USA, Pennsylvania Chocolate cups filled with runny marshmallow and coconut. Much better than I expected.

Ritter Sport - Milk Chocolate Germany Basic milk chocolate bar. Slightly different flavor and texture from American chocolate.
Ritter Sport - Praline Germany Milk chocolate bar with praline filling. Quite delicious.
Robin Eggs USA Whoppers with a thin candy shell. I prefer regular Whoppers, the candy coating only adds sugar and decreases the maltose flavor.
Rocky Road - Annabelle's USA, California Marshmallow topped with chopped cashews and dipped in dark chocolate. Too much marshmallow.
Rolo USA A milk chocolate cylinder filled with grainy caramel. Sweet, but Bland.
Roshen Dark Chocolate Ukraine Dark chocolate car filled with creamy fondant. Pretty good. The fondant makes it less bitter than normal dark chocolate.
Sanders - Sea Salt Caramel Pecan Clusters USA, Michigan Chopped pecans and caramel coated in chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt. Good caramel, and the salt adds to it. I'm not a big fan of pecans though.
Skor USA Thin toffee coated in chocolate. Pretty good, but Heath is better.
Special Dark USA A dark chocolate bar. Slightly bitter, better than Hershey's milk chocolate.
Snickers USA A nougat bar topped with caramel and peanuts, coated in chocolate. Very enjoyable. Growing up, I preferred Milky Way, but now I like Snickers more.

Tirma - Ambrosías Spain Crispy wafers layered with creme and coated in white chocolate. It's okay, but I'm not a white chocolate fan.
Twix USA A cookie bar with a topping, and both dipped in milk chocolate. Most common topping is caramel which is pretty good.

Caramels and Toffees

Candy Nation Notes
Atkinson's - Peanut Butter Bar USA, Texas A crun-chewy candy with a delicious peanut butter flavor. Very good.
Aunt Sally's - Creole Pralines USA, Louisiana Soft praline with pecans. Great flavor, but you have to eat it out of the wrapper because it has no form.
Bonds of London Assorted Toffee Whirls England Toffee swirled with a creme filling. Very sweet, but a little bland.
Bonds of London Clotted Cream Fudge England Kind of like a clumpy version of American caramel. Good flavor, not as chewy as I'd like.

Coffee Delight - Caramelo Blando de Cafe - Colombina Colombia Firm toffees with a creamy coffee flavor. Good at first, but has a bitter after taste.
CW - Milk Soft Candy South Korea A caramel with milk flavor. Nice chewy texture, good flavor.

Riesen Germany A chocolate caramel coated in dark chocolate. Not too sweet, and very delicious.
Slo Poke USA Chewy caramel. Better than most American caramels like pasty Sugar Babies or the grainy Kraft caramel.
Sugar Babies USA Bean-sized caramels with a firm exterior. Pretty bland and grainy.
Sugar Daddy USA Hard caramel on a stick. The caramel is good, but I would like it more without the stick. I always end up eating a bit of paper trying to get the caramel off.
Toffifay Germany A thin caramel cup holds toffee and hazlenuts with a dab of milk chocolate. Lots of good flavors, but they don't totally mesh.
Tootsie Roll USA, Illinois A chewy chocolate caramel. Simple, old fashioned, and delicious.
Tootsie Roll Mini Bites USA, Illinois Smaller, candy-coated Tootsie Roll cylinders. Similar taste, but less messy.

Gum

Candy Parent Nation Notes
Altoids Gum Altoids England Small rounded-square gum with thin hard-candy shells sold in a small tin. Flavors include peppermint, cinnamon, wintergreen, spearmint, sour apple, and sour cherry. I've only had the peppermint which was okay, and the sour cherry, which I don't remember liking.
Bazooka Joe Bubble Gum Topps USA A small rectangular piece of bubble gum wrapped with a tiny comic strip. When I was a kid the flavors included bubble gum, cherry, grape, and apple, but now only bubble gum flavor is sold. The gum also had groves on one side, but there were eliminated in the remake, and the gum was slightly smaller. All versions of the gum lost its flavor pretty quickly and was exceptionally hard. A special soft version was released. When I was in grade school, they redid the comics and character designs. I didn't care much for the later designs. The comic strips had a gag, a fortune, and a item that you could get by mailing in comics and money.
Beemans Verburg USA Wintergreen flavored gum. Current style is pretty awful. Originally contained pepsin to control digestion, but no longer does.
Big Choice - Gum Cigars Swell USA Bubblegum shaped like a cigar with a cigar label and individually wrapped. Decent gum, not exactly kid-friendly. Flavors are fruit, mint, and banana.
Big Red Wrigley USA A strong cinnamon flavor. My favorite cinnamon gum.
Big League Chew Ford Gum USA Shredded bubblegum in a pouch to resemble chewing tobacco. The flavors are usually great, the gum stays soft for a long time, and who doesn't love the idea of selling something which resembles chewing tobacco to children? My favorite flavors include bubblegum, grape, watermelon, strawberry. I remember having a sour apple flavored, but it was too sour to appreciate. I had cotton candy, but I don't remember the flavor.
Black Jack Verburg USA A licorice flavored gum. Nice at first, but nauseates me after chewing for awhile.
Boby Bubble Nahla Iraq Bubblegum with a comic. It's packaged nearly identical to Bazooka Joe. It looks like they took American comics and just removed the dialogue. There are several wrapper colors, but they all have the same generic pink flavor which is decent, but it becomes hard quickly making it difficult to blow bubbles.
Bubble Jug Wrigley USA A small plastic jug filled with tiny bubble gum pellets and flavored powered sugar. Eating it was difficult and messy and resulted in a mouth full of powder. The only flavor I tried was tropical fruit.
Bubble Puck  ? USA Sold in a black plastic "hokey puck" container, it was a solid block of low-quality pink bubble gum. I remember buying this as a child and thinking it was really cool.
Bubble Tape Wrigley USA Six feet of bubble gum stored in a plastic dispenser. Originally it came in a simple capped cylinder, but later versions had a built in slicers. A lot of flavors were made, but my favorites were grape, bubblegum, and strawberry. A Juicy Fruit flavor was made, but the texture was too different from the original for me to find it appealing. I once put an entire bubblegum flavored Bubble Tape roll in my mouth all at once just to see if it was possible. It took awhile, and a lot of drool, but I did it. A short-lived 10 foot long Mega Roll was made which used slightly thinner and narrower gum.
Bubblegum Cigarettes World Confections USA Bubblegum wrapped in a paper to look like a cigarette in a box that used cigarette-like graphics. Even has powdered sugar you could blow out to make it look like smoke (though this only works once). Hard bland gum. A great way to convince children that smoking is cool.
Canel's Canel's Mexico Chiclets-style gum sold in small packs of 4. A variety of flavors, loses flavor very quickly.
CareFree Hershey USA A sugar free gum which claimed to whiten your teeth. No longer made. Flavors included bubble gum, spearmint, wintergreen, and peppermint. There was also a strawberry flavor which tasted like medicine and I remember liking it.
Chewing Gum Mahmoud Sharawi Jordan Candy coated squares of gum which loses flavor very quickly. Flavors include jungle berry (decent) and mastic (which has a faint black pepper flavor).
Chiclets Mondelēz USA A rounded-square chewing gum with a thin hard candy shell. Flavors include peppermint and fruit. I liked their shape and packaging, but they lost their flavor very quickly. It stopped being sold in the USA some time ago, but could be imported from Mexico. In 2016 it was discontinued world wide.
Clove Verburg USA Clove-flavored gum. Used to have a stronger flavor, but it's become weaker these days.
Cry Baby Tootsie USA Gumball with a citric acid coating to make them sour. Loses flavor and sourness extremely fast.
Dentyne - Fire Mondelēz USA, New Jersey Cinnamon gum. Hotter than typical cinnamon gums, but still not that hot.
Doublemint Wrigley USA Peppermint gum. Good flavor, long lasting.
El Bubble - Gum Cigars Swell Canada Bubblegum shaped like a cigar with a cigar label and individually wrapped. Hard poorly flavored gum, and not exactly kid-friendly. Flavors are fruit (Pink Owl), apple (El Bubble), and banana (Golden Dragon).
Extra - Cinnamon Wrigley USA Decent cinnamon flavor, but not as good as Big Red.
Extra - Classic Bubble Wrigley USA Classic bubble gum flavor. Good for bubble blowing.
Extra - Polar Ice Wrigley USA A strong wintergreen mint flavor. Very refreshing.
Flash - Watermelon Maghreb Morocco Flavored similar to real watermelon. Not very sweet or chewy. Loses flavor very quickly and turns bitter.
Fortune Bubble R.L. Albert & Son USA, Connecticut A thick sweet bubblegum that loses its flavor quickly and has a racist stereotype. Was sold for a penny a stick in the 1980s. Each wrapper had a fortune.
Fruit Stripe Ferrara USA Extremely sweet striped chewing gum sticks. Great flavor for a few seconds before it loses its flavor.
Fruit Stripe Bubble Gum Ferrara USA Extremely sweet striped bubble gum sticks. Great flavor for a few seconds before it loses its flavor. Slightly better for blowing bubbles.
Gorilo - Um Doce de Gorila! Lusiteca Portugal Bubble gum packaged nearly identically to Bazooka Joe, but with collectible cartoon gorilla faces instead of comics. The texture is softer, and it doesn't use artificial colors, but it loses its flavor just as quickly. Flavors are passion fruit, strawberry, banana, and orange.
Hubba Bubba - Max - Original Wrigley USA, New Jersey Stays medium-soft and the flavor lasts for quite awhile. Has a nice bubble gum flavor.
Hubba Bubba - Max - Strawberry Watermelon Wrigley, New Jersey USA The two flavors mix well enough.
Hubba Bubba - Max - Sour Blue Raspberry Wrigley, New Jersey USA Nicely tart, but kind of bland.
Jelly Belly - Very Cherry Wrigley USA, New York Sugar free, pieces are too small, cherry flavor is pretty artificial tasting.
Jelly Belly - Island Punch Wrigley USA, New York Sugar free, pieces are too small, punch flavor is mostly artificial grape.
Juicy Fruit Wrigley USA A mildly spicy fruit flavor a mix between banana and jackfruit. Delicious.
Juicy Fruit - Collisions Wrigley USA A combination of two fruit flavors. I've had tropical/berry and strawberry/watermelon. Both are tasty, but the texture is poorer than normal Wrigley's gum.
Rain-Blo Ferrara USA Multi-flavored gumballs. Usually lose their flavor and become hard very quickly.
Seedlings Tootsie Canada Fruit-shaped gumballs filled with small crunchy candy dots. Flavors are grape, watermelon, strawberry, apple, lemon, orange. Just like other Double Bubble gum, it quickly loses its flavor and becomes hard.
Super Bubble Ferrara USA Wax paper wrapped plain pink bubble gum. Good flavor for a very short time before it becomes bland and hard.
Thrills Tootsie Spain Purple chewing gum that, as the package attests, tastes like soap. It's kind of like a minty soap that makes your mouth tingle. It's off-putting, but certainly unique.
Trident - Cinnamon Mondelēz USA, New Jersey A perfectly suitable cinnamon chewing gum.
Trident - Tropical Twist Mondelēz USA, New Jersey Tropical flavor combining orange, kiwi, and mango. Nice taste.
Winterfresh Wrigley USA A strong wintergreen flavored gum.
Wrigley - Spearmint Wrigley USA Spearmint flavored gum. Very tasty. Wrigley's started adding green food coloring in the 2000s which actually made it slightly less appealing to me.

Gummy / Chewy

Candy Nation Notes
Ahlgrens Bilar - Original Sweden Sweet marshmallow cars with a hint fruit flavor. There are three flavors, but I can't identify any of them. The texture is unique. They're airy, so they collapse from a bite, but then they become rather dense. It's unique, but not unpleasant. Flavors are pink, green, white.
Airheads USA, Kentucky Chewy candy strips in a wide variety of flavors. I don't like the texture, they're far too grainy.
Airheads Bites - Rainbow Berry USA Small chewy rainbow-colored candies. Better texture than ordinary Airheads and good semi-sour flavor.
Albanese Gummi Bears ★ USA My favorite brand for gummy. Softer than most competitors with a large variety of flavors, including: grape, blue raspberry, pineapple, pink grapefruit, green apple, watermelon, lime, strawberry, cherry, lemon, mango, and orange.
Albanese Gummi Bears - Ultimate USA An all-natural flavors and colors variety. Half the flavors are so muted they're difficult to discern, and the similar colors don't help, the others like orange and mango are kind of gross. Flavors are: Amity Raspberry, Queen pineapple, crimson cranberry, black currant, Fuji apple, Asian pear, blood orange, and Alphonso mango.
Amelio C. Enterprises - Cactus Candy USA, Arizona Firm jelly candy made with prickly pear cactus juice and coated in granular sugar. Great flavor.
Annabelle's - Abba-Zaba - Mystery Flavor USA, California Simple taffy with a "mystery" flavor. Nice taste and taffy texture, but it would be nice if there were more than one flavor.
Annabelle's - Abba-Zaba - Peanut Butter USA, California An unflavored taffy bar filled with creamy peanut butter. Nice taffy texture, but a very strange and messy combination.
Arizona Fruit Snacks - Arizona Beverages USA Because, when I think iced tea, I think fruit snacks. Varieties are Mixed Fruit (flavors are fruit punch, watermelon, grapeade, mucho mango, and orangeade) and Green Tea (plum blueberry, apple, green tea, and mandarin). The lack of artificial colors and only two shapes (tea can and Arizona logo) makes it had to distinguish the flavors, and, the lack of artificial flavors makes them all taste mild compared to other candy. There also isn't an even variety, the candy is mostly the cheaper flavors.
Banana Skids Sweden Banana and toffee flavored hard taffy. A good combination of flavors.
Bebeto - Super Belts Turkey Color strips of gummy candy coated in sour sugar. Nothing special.
Betty Crocker - Fruit Flavored Snacks USA, Minnesota Assorted gummy snacks themed with the latest fad. Although they're made in different colors and advertised as having assorted flavors, they all taste the same with a vaguely fruity sweetness. Not very good.
Black Forest - Gummy Bears USA Better than Harbio, but not as good as Albanese.
Bonds of London - Fruit Pastilles London Gummy candies coated in sugar. Basically, firm gumdrops, but made with real fruit juice. Better than most American gumdrops.
Brach's - Christmas Nougats - Ferrara Mexico Chewy nougats with Christmas decoration. Flavors are cinnamon, spearmint, and peppermint. Enjoyable.
Brach's - Autumn Mix - Ferrara Mexico Two kinds of candy corn and pumpkins. The normal candy corn and pumpkins have the same traditional marshmallow flavor. The candy corn with brown on the bottom has a fudge flavor. Very much what you'd expect.
Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea - Toko Taiwan A chocolate gumdrop with a chocolate and brown sugar tea coating.
Classic Candy Corn - Brach's Mexico The same bland waxy texture and honey flavor you'd expect from candy corn.
Cherri and Bubb USA Mike and Ike style candy with just cherry and bubble gum flavors. It was nice to have bubble gum, but cherry already existed in the original Mike and Ike, so it was redundant.
Chewy Lemonhead - Fruit Mix - Ferrara Candy USA, Illinois Chewy versions of Lemonheads. Flavors include: grape, lemon, cherry, lime, orange.
Chewy Lemonhead - Pink Lemonade - Ferrara Candy USA, Illinois Chewy versions of Lemonheads, just pink lemonade flavor. Kind of bland.
Chewy Lemonhead - Tropical - Ferrara Candy Mexico Chewy candy balls with tropical fruit flavors. Pretty good.
Chuckles USA Sugar-coated jellies. Like gum drops, but softer. Flavors are: cherry, lime, lemon, orange, and licorice.
Chewits - Extreme - Cloetta UK Taffy squares. I've had sour apple which was decent.
Potchi - Columbia's Philippines Strawberries and cream gummy discs. Kind of like marshmallow coated in granular sugar. Quite artificial tasting.
Cougar Yogurt Thailand Yogurt-flavored chews. Has a tart mildly acidic yogurt flavor which is interesting.
Crazy Bee Ukraine Fruit jellies, not as chewy as gummies, with a fruit goop inside. Very good. I've only tasted strawberry, lime, and orange, but other flavors include grapefruit, sour cherry, and wild berry.
Seacom Dalcom - Crown ★ South Korea Fruit chews. Like Star Burst. I've only had lemon, but it was a more intense flavor closer to a real lemon. Quite enjoyable.
TTangKong - Caramel Peanut Candy - Crown South Korea Peanut-flavors caramels with chunks of peanut inside. Decent flavor. It's packages in four colors, but they're all the same.
Crows USA Licorice flavored dots. Gross, unless you like licorice.
Dare Real Fruit Gummies - Superfruits Canada, Ontario Plant-based gummies. Very waxy and not much flavor. Flavors are: blueberry, cranberry, blackberry, and black currant.
Dots USA Chewy gumdrops without any sugar coating. Flavors, in order of appreciation are: strawberry, cherry, lime, lemon, and orange.
Drumstick Squashies - Sour Cherry & Apple London A hybrid of marshmallow and gummy. Good flavor and texture. Goofy name. They're not drumstick shaped, instead, they look like school erasers.
Efrutti - Cheese Cake China Fruity cheese cake marshmallow candy with a firm graham cracker-like crust.
Efrutti - Cup Cake China Cupcake shaped candy with a marshmallow base and gummy top. Quite good.
Efrutti - Strawberry China Strawberry shaped gummy candy. Nice texture and flavor.
Fabulicious - Sherbert Fizz New Zealand Red licorice tubes filled with a sour semi-fizzy ooze. Not much flavor, just sugary and sour.
Ferris Nut Co - Salt Water Taffy USA, Michigan Salt water taffy with a large variety of flavors: Peppermint, blue raspberry, caramel, Neapolitan, vanilla, chocolate, apple, cinnamon, unknown (brown with white center), orange creamsicle, watermelon, popcorn, grape, and licorice.
Fettuccine Gummi - Bourbon Japan Strips of gummy candy, meant to look like fettuccine noodles, coated in sugar citric acid. I've had grape flavor, which is okay.
Fini - Bricks Ladrillos - Strawberry? Spain Candy "bricks" with a white filling coated in sugar. Very sweet, but not much flavor.
Fini - Jelly Bananas Spain Banana shaped and flavored gummies coated in sugar. Pretty good, but has the typical fake banana flavor that is slightly chemical tasting.
Fini - Roller Fizz - Strawberry Spain Strawberry flavored candy roll covered with a tart sugar. Tastes good, but very messy.
Four Seas Daifuku Marshmallow China Marshmallow with a semi-sweet chocolate paste inside. Pretty good.
Barratt - Fruit Salad Spain Same texture and packaging as Star Burst, even to the point of using a tear drop, but only one flavor, a swirl of pineapple and raspberry. Sweet and chewy, but almost medicinal in taste.
Gimbal's - Gourmet Jelly Beans USA Used to be a good replacement for Jelly Belly, but they changed their formula in 2020 and ruined the texture. Eats more like a cheap generic jelly bean now.
Golden Casket - Millions ★ UK Tiny firm chewy candies. Quite good. I've only had strawberry, but there are many flavors.
Good & Fruity USA Like Good & Plenty, only with cherry flavored candy in the center instead of licorice, and a different flavored coating based on the color. Original flavors were raspberry, cherry, lime, lemon, and orange. In 1992, the center candy was changed to match the exterior color. The candy frequently goes out of production. It was brought back in 2008 with raspberry replaced with blue raspberry.
Good & Plenty USA Pink and white candy-coated licorice cylinders. Gross.
Gummies - Jelly Belly USA, California Vegan gummies. Flavors are very cherry, berry blue, green apple, lemon, orange. More waxy than gummy, but not awful.
Haribo - Friendship Rings Germany Gummy rings with a "stone." They're a bit hard and bland. Each ring has two flavors, one for the band, and one for the stone. The flavors are the same a Gold-Bears.
Haribo - Gold-Bears Germany Gummy bears that are a bit bland and hard. I prefer Albanese. Flavors are: pineapple, cherry, lime, lemon, and orange.
Haribo - Happy Cherries Germany Gummy cherries that are a bit hard with a medicinal cherry flavor. Not awful.
Haribo - Happy-Cola Germany Gummy cola bottles. A bit hard, and, like most cola candy, the flavor is a bit off.
Haribo - Pasta Frutta Fizz Belgium Flat gummy squares coated in mildly sour sugar that causes a slight fizz in your mouth. Flavors include strawberry, lime, lemon, and orange.
Haribo - Pik - Orangina France Gummy bottles of Orangina. They have a similar semi-bitter citrus flavor. Flavors are rouge and original.
Haribo - Pika - Spaghetti Spain Gummy strawberry spaghetti strings with sour sugar. Flavor and texture is good, but, with only a single flavor, it gets old fast.
Haribo - Rainbow Saver Germany Gummy flat tubes covered with tart sugar. Flavors are blackberry, "tropical," strawberry, and apple. They're okay.
Haribo - Roulette - Cola France Gummy cola discs. I'm not a fan of candy cola flavor. Also, it's not exactly roulette if all the flavors are the same, is it?
Haribo - Starmix Germany An assortment of Harbio gummies (Gold-Bears, Happy Cherries, Twin Snakes, Happy-Cola, and Friendship Rings). The tartness of the cola flavor leeches into the other candies a little.
Haribo - Tagada France Marshmallow gummies with a red sugar shell. A bit tart and very sweet. Enjoyable.
Haribo - Twin Snakes Germany Two gummy snakes, each a different flavor, merged together. One is sweet, the other is sour. A bit hard, but better flavor than Gold-Bears.
Hello Kitty - Marshmallow - Eiwa China Mild flavored marshmallow with a small amount of goop spread inside each one. Not too bad. Flavors are tropical pineapple, strawberry, and matcha. There is also a mango flavor, but I haven't tried it yet.
Hi-Chew ★ Japan A chewy candy of assorted flavors. The texture is like a cross between chewing gum and gummy candy. It uses real fruit so the flavors are much more accurate compared to American candy. My favorite flavors are grape (especially good!), apple, strawberry, white peach, açai, kiwi, and mango. Uses foil wrappers for longer freshness.
Hi-Chew Plus Fruit Japan Includes fruit pulp in the candy. Flavors are mango/pineapple and cranberry/grape.
Hi-Chew Sours Japan Not sour at all, just citrusy. Flavors are lime, grapefruit, and lemon.
Hilal - B-rry Bites Pakistan Raspberry and blackberry gumdrops coated in candy dots. Good flavor.
Hilal - Jiggles - Crunch Pakistan Small jelly beans with a candy shell for added crunch. Not bad. Flavors are red fruit, black currant, lemon, and orange.
Hilal - Jiggles - Watermelon Pakistan Watermelon gummies shaped like watermelon slices and coated in sugar. Decent.
Horrocks Farm Market - Assorted Slices Mexico Fruit slice jellies coated in sugar. Overly sweet and artificial tasting flavor of cherry, grape, lime, lemon, and orange.
Hot Tamales ★ USA Mike and Ike style candy, but all cinnamon. Nice flavor, decent heat, but gets boring with just one flavor.
Huer - Sour Cola Bottles Canada, Quebec Gummy cola bottles with a sour sugar coating. Decently sour, but I don't care much for cola candy, so I don't care much for these.
Saadet - Jellopy - Mr. Crocodile Turkey Just a gummy crocodile. The flavor is kind of a bland, and almost soapy.
Jelly Belly USA, California Small jelly beans with dozens of flavors, many of which taste shockingly like their analog. I love these, but they're very expensive.
Jengo - Sour Bites Egypt Gel cola bottles coated in sour sugar. Decent flavor, but dull.
Jojo - Jahůdky Czech Republic Sugar coated candy balls with strawberry flavored candy jelly inside. Not unpleasant, but boring.
Jojo - Vexta Czech Republic Marshmallow cubes. The flavors taste quite natural and include cherry, apple, lemon, and orange.

Jolly Rancher Misfits USA Gummy candies with two flavors in each piece. Flavors include green apple/cherry, blue raspberry/watermelon, and strawberry/lemon. Candy uses proper Jolly Rancher flavors, and I like the gummy texture, but I would prefer if the flavors were separate.
Jujubes USA Semi-hard chewy candies in small cylinders. Flavors include (in order of appreciation): raspberry, lime, grape, lemon, orange. Usually too hard to enjoy.
Ferrara - Jujyfruits USA Semi-hard chewy candies in fruit shapes. Flavors include (in order of appreciation): raspberry, lime, lemon, orange, and anise. I like the idea, but I usually find they're too hard to appreciate because they get stuck in your teeth.
Kasugai Gummy Candy Japan Gummy discs. Flavors include: grape, muscat, pineapple, peach, mango, kiwi, Ramune, lychee, yuzu, strawberry, watermelon, and apple. Others I haven't tasted include: cranberry, lemonade, melon, and orange.
Lacasa Pikotas Spain Cherry balls with a gummy center. Enjoyable, but needs more variety.
Laffy Taffy USA Taffy in assorted flavors with lame jokes on the wrappers. The taffy has a good texture, and most of the flavors are good. Although a lot of flavors have been made over the years, you usually only see strawberry and banana. The cheap packaging causes the taffy to harden after a couple days.
Lem and Mel USA Mike and Ike style candy consisting of just lemon and watermelon flavors. The watermelon was a nice addition, but lemon was in the original, so it's redundant.
Lush Chocolates Thailand Small chocolate chews filled with chocolate creme. Kind of bland.
Li Hing Mui - Rainbow Belts USA, Hawaii Chewy rainbow strips flavored with Chinese li hing mui plums. A mix of sweet, salty, and fruity. Enjoyable to eat.
Lunch Buddies Fruit Flavored Snacks USA Generic fruit snacks. Decent texture, little flavor, fruit shape doesn't always match flavor. Flavors include: cherry, grape, apple, strawberry, lime, orange.
Mamba Germany Fruit chews. Not as waxy as Starburst. Assortments have problems giving an equal amount of flavors. One bag I had was almost entirely orange with no cherry, while the bar-form promise four flavors, but only contain three at random. Flavors I've tasted include raspberry, strawberry, orange, and lemon.
Mamba - Tropics Germany Fruit chews. Not as waxy as Starburst. Same assortment variety problem. Flavors I've tasted include pineapple-coconut, mango-orange, and apple-kiwi.

Mary Jane ★ USA Peanut and molasses chews. Very good.

Meiji Gummy Choco Hong Kong Strawberry gummy drops coated in milk chocolate.
Mentos - Mint Netherlands Hard candy shell with a chewy center with a peppermint flavor. I like the texture, but the same flavor gets old fast.
Mentos - Fruit Netherlands Hard candy shell with a chewy center with three fruit flavors: strawberry, orange, and lemon. There is little variety as 66% of the flavors are citrus, and they seem to appear far more frequently than the strawberry flavor.
Mentos - Soda Mix Thailand Hard candy shell with a chewy center with four flavors: grape, honeydew, lemon, and strawberry. The flavors are just fruit flavors with a slightly more acidic flavor, only the grape flavor tastes like actual grape soda. The strawberry tastes a bit bitter. Not very good.
Mike and Ike - Just Born USA Barrel-shaped candies with a chewy center and semi-hard shell. Flavors are: cherry, strawberry, lime, lemon, and orange.
Mike and Ike - Mega Mix - Just Born USA Mike and Ike with 10 fruit flavors including: Caribbean punch, strawberry-banana, paradise punch, grape soda, kiwi banana, mango delight, watermelon, pineapple banana, peach berry, and blue raspberry. Far more enjoyable than the regular mix.

Mott's Fruit Flavored Snacks USA Good texture, but very little flavor, they're just sweet. There are only 3 flavors: apple, pear, and sweet potato, and five shapes: grape, strawberry, apple, carrot, pear.
Nerds USA Small sugar crystals coated in candy. Nice crunch, but so sweet they hurt my teeth. They come in a variety of flavors, but strawberry and grape at the most common.
Nerds - Big Chewy USA Chewy centers with a crunchy candy shell. A little tart, but otherwise bland, and I'm pretty sure this candy existed before and just now has a new branding. The bag I bought had a lot of orange and a little grape. Flavors are grape, strawberry, orange, and lemon.
Nerds - Big Chewy - Sour USA Chewy centers with a crunchy candy shell. Mildly sour. Flavors are blue raspberry, watermelon, blood orange, strawberry lemonade.
Ninja Gummy Japan Firm gummy lozenges with a thin candy coating. Cola flavored. Not that great.
Nordic Sweets Soft Raspberries ★ Sweden Raspberry gumdrops. They are bouncier than American gumdrops and require more pressure to chew through. Good highly-sweet raspberry flavor.
Norfolk Manor - Jelly Babies UK Child-shaped jellies coated in powdered sugar. Not very good. Flavors are raspberry, black current, strawberry, lime, lemon, and orange.
Now and Later - Shell Shocked USA Puts a smooth hard shell on Now and Laters and sold unwrapped in a bag of assorted flavors. Kind of nice because they don't dry out as badly as ordinary Now and Laters, but they're also considerably softer which takes away some of the fun of the candy. I don't care much for them, but I like the favorite in the following order: cherry, grape, apple, banana, and strawberry (which tastes strange).
Original Gummi Fun Mix Spain An assortment of gummy bears, worms, cherries, sharks, and Swirlz (large swirled gumdrops). Seems like a collection of the stuff that fell off the machine rather than a purposely made mix. The assortment claim 18 varieties, but they're including different flavors. The "worms" are so short they're more like maggots. The bears and worms aren't very good, but the sharks and drops are nice.
Orion Jelly - Grape South Korea Medium-sized gummy snacks with a decent flavor. Flavors are grape and peach.
Panditas Mexico Gummy pandas. Too hard, not enough flavor or variety. Flavors are strawberry, lime, orange, and pineapple.
Paradise Egypt Candy chews. Flavors include pineapple, strawberry, mango, and cola.
Pascall Fruit Burst Australia Chewy fruit bites. Flavors are wild berry, banana, strawberry, lemon & lime.
Pascall Pineapple Lumps Australia Chewy pineapple bites coated in chocolate. Kind of like a Charleston Chew. Pretty good, but I would like more than just one flavor.
Pedro Czech Republic Strips of strawberry fruit leather coated with semi-sour granulated sugar. It's fine, but it would be better if it had more than one flavor.
Pelon Pelonetes Mexico Little candy balls with a chewy center. Despite the rainbow colors, they are all tamarind flavor. Not that great.
Primrose - Salt Water Taffy USA, Illinois Standard chewy salt water taffy chunks wrapped in wax paper. Flavors are orange creamsicle, cherry, blue berry, watermelon, lemon/lime, Neapolitan, chocolate, orange, and peppermint.
Puchao Japan Multi-textured chewy candies of assorted flavors. The fruit flavors are grape, mango, strawberry, and cantaloupe. The pop flavors are cola and Ramune which have little pockets of fizzy powder in them. The Ramune flavor is spot on, while the cola flavor is a bit bitter.

Skittles - Darkside USA Flavors are forbidden fruit, black berry, midnight lime, dark berry, blood orange.
Skittles - Dips USA Same flavors as original Skittles, but with a yogurt coating. The crumbly texture of the yogurt is a little off-putting, and the sweetness of the candy clashes with the yogurt, but it does add a nice creaminess to the flavor.

Skittles - Wild Berry USA Flavors are wild cherry, melon berry, berry punch, raspberry, and strawberry.

Sour Patch Kids USA Gummy kid-shaped candies coated in sugar and citric acid. Flavors are blue raspberry, raspberry, lime, lemon, and orange.

Sour Patch Kids - Watermelon Turkey Gummy watermelon-slice shaped candy coated in a mildly sour sugar. Decent taste, but too homogeneous.
Spangler Marshmallow Circus Peanuts USA Bright orange marshmallow candies shaped like large peanuts. Nicely chewy, but extremely sweet with a hint of citrus flavor.

Swedish Fish Turkey Fish-shaped gummy candy, waxier than most other gummies, but not unpleasant. Flavors include an unique red flavor, lime, lemon, and orange. The red flavor is interesting, the others are generic.

Sweet Tarts - Mini Chewy USA Nice texture, but they don't taste all that great. More sour than flavor. Seems like there are more yellow and orange than any other color.
Sweet Tarts - Soft & Chewy Ropes USA The cherry punch straw is decent, but the cream inside is awful.
Sweetpeople - Spring Marshmallow Flowers Spain Standard vanilla marshmallows shaped like flowers. A bit more firm than US marshmallows, but otherwise nothing special.

Tootsie Fruit Chews USA Chewy Tootsie Roll-shaped fruit candies with a harder shell in the flavors of lemon, lime, cherry, orange, and blue raspberry. They're the same artificial flavors as fruity Tootsie Roll candies. Enjoyable, but a little waxy.
Tootsie Fruit Chews Rolls ★ USA Same consistency as a Tootsie Roll, but with alternate flavors. My favorite flavors in order of best to worst are vanilla, cherry, lime, orange, and lemon. I especially like mixing vanilla with orange or cherry.

Bon Bon Bum - Colombina Columbia Lollipop with a hard candy shell and a bubblegum center. Flavors are lulo and strawberry.
Bonds of London Barley Sugar England A sweet hard candy from the UK that's very familiar tasting, but still unique.
Bonds of London Rhubarb & Custard England Hard candy with a mildly tart flavor. Pretty good, and, thankfully, doesn't taste much like real rhubarb.
Boston Baked Beans USA Candy coated peanuts. I used to like them a lot as a child, but now I find they have an almost papery flavor.
Bottle Caps Mexico Bottle cap shaped soda-flavored candies. Pretty awful, only the cherry is a decent flavor. Flavors are cherry, orange, grape, cola, root beer.
Brach's Butterscotch Discs USA Enjoyable Buttery flavor and nice hard candy. What's not to love?

Bubbaloo Xtreme Mexico A strawberry sucker with bubble gum at the center, sold in a package filled with chili salt. Very unusual.
Calpis Candy - Asahi Japan Hard candy lozenges flavored with Calpis (a tart milky drink) with fruit. Flavors include grape, plain Calpis, white peach, and lemon.
Candy Buttons USA Small candy blobs adhered to a sheet of paper. Despite their colors, they're often the same bland flavor. You usually end up eating a fair amount of paper trying to eat the buttons.
Candy Cigarettes USA Long cigarette-shaped white candy rods. Bland flavor, but the cigarette packaging helps children believe smoking is cool.
Charms Mini Pops USA Pretty awful suckers. They all have a strange chemical flavor. The bag advertises 12 flavors, but the vast majority are of only 6 flavors. Of them, the only one I like is fruit punch.
Claey's USA, Indiana Hard candy lozenges. Flavors I've had include root beer (pretty herbal, but not bad) and horehound (pretty awful).
Classic Series - Guava Candy China A nice guava candy drop with added citric acid to give it some sour bite.

Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer barrels USA, Massachusetts Barrel-shaped root beer flavored hard candy. I enjoy the flavor, but I assume they use the name as a marketing gimmick and don't use the actual root beer to flavor it.
Dum Dums USA Small lollypops with a large variety of flavors. I used to like them more as a child, but now I find them to have a rather odd after taste. My favorite flavor is cream soda.
Fizzy Booom! Ukraine Hard candy with fizzy powder inside. Basically Zotz. Flavors are lime, cola, and orange.
Floco de Neve Portugal Hard "Snow Flake" candy lozenges. Has a mild vanilla flavor which is hard to describe, but quite good.

Howe - French Burnt Peanuts USA Peanuts with a red candy coating. Kind of bland and chewy.
Jaw Busters USA, Illinois A grape-sized multi-layered hard spherical candy. Kind of bland, but they last a long time. Also comes in mini which are about the size of a peanut.
Jolly Rancher ★ USA Hard candy with a variety of flavors, most of which are delicious. Sold in a variety of shapes including long flat sticks, short flat sticks, smaller rectangular drops, and suckers. I prefer the smaller rectangular drops.
Kabang USA Basically Zotz but more bitter. So-called "energy" candy because it has vitamins and ginseng. Didn't give me energy. Flavors include cherry and grape.
Kanshindo - Rennyu Matcha Latte Japan Hard candy ball with matcha tea flavor with a chewy milk candy center. I'm not a huge matcha fan, so it's just okay to me.

Lemonhead Mini Pops USA A hard candy lollipops with flavors the same as Lemonheads: grape, cherry, apple, and orange.
Li Hing Mui Drops Taiwan Hard candy with a golden plum pit inside. Nice sickly sweet flavor, and the plum pit is certainly interesting, but makes it harder to eat.
LifeSavers USA Small torus-shaped hard candies. I enjoy most of the flavors. My favorite fruit flavors are: cherry, blackberry, pineapple, watermelon, and orange (they've changed over the years, and I don't remember how much I liked the older flavors). I really like the butter rum flavor which is butterscotch with a hint of rum.
Lotte - Lollipop Ice Candy South Korea Assorted suckers shaped and flavored like popular Korean ice cream bars. They're quite good with unique flavors (except cola which tastes generic and looks like a brown buttplug). They also use a plastic stick, which I prefer. Flavors are Jaws (orange strawberry), Watermelon (watermelon milk), Screw Bar (strawberry and cream), and cola.
Lump Candy - South Word Brand China Lumps of crystalized sugar. Just sugar. No flavoring. Rather boring.
M Gourmet Collection Maple Lollipop ★ Canada, Quebec An all-natural maple syrup hard candy lollipop which, as you might expect, tastes like real maple syrup. The herbal flavor is quite enjoyable and separates it from artificial flavors.
Mammos - Hard Candy South Korea Hard candy lozenges. Flavors I've had are raspberry and cinnamon. Both are simple, but delicious.
Necco Wafers England Candy wafers of assorted flavors sold in a wax paper roll. Flavors are: clove (purple), wintergreen (pink), cinnamon (white), chocolate (brown), lime (green), lemon (yellow), orange (orange), and licorice (black). They are also sold in an all-chocolate roll.
Nerds USA Sugar crystals coated in a colorful candy shell. Originally sold in a box with two compartments, each with a different flavor. Over the years, many different flavors have been made, but they're generally sold now with just grape and strawberry. I liked these as a child, but now I find them to be too sweet.
Nerds Rope USA Just Nerds stuck onto some taffy. It's fine, I guess, but not worth in increased price tag.
Original Gourmet USA Large hard lollipops with over 30 flavors. I've had orange creamsicle (good), hot fudge (good), cherry cheesecake (good), bluberries & cream (good), bubble gum (okay), and piña colada (decent).
Pez USA Pressed powered sugar tablets meant to be put into cheap plastic dispensers. Even as a child, I found the dispensers only get in the way of eating the candy. The flavors are mild, but not unpleasant. In order: raspberry, lemon, strawberry, orange, and sugar cookie.
Pop Rocks USA Candy crystal with cavities filled with slightly pressurized carbon dioxide. When the shell weakens, from coming into contact with saliva, the gas escapes with a small pop which creates a tingling sensation in your mouth. There are various flavors. While I like the idea of the candy, it's too expensive for the small amount you get in each pack.
Rain-Blo Pops USA Cheap knock-off of Blow Pops, but with worse flavors and less gum.
Regal Crown - Sour Cherry - Iconic Candy USA, New York Sour cherry lozenges. Enjoyable sour artificial cherry flavor.
Red Hots USA Small hard cinnamon candies. Just enough cinnamon to become hot, but not so much to burn like Atomic Fireballs. Very enjoyable.
Rellerindos Mexico Tamarind hard candy with a chewy center. Quite tart and slightly spicy. Good flavor, but the candy is a bit gritty.
Ribbon Candy USA Hard candy with colorful bands folded into ribbons. Usually with spice and mint flavors. I love these around Christmas time.

Tic-Tac Fruit Adventure Canada Assorted fruit-flavored Tic-Tacs. Flavors are passion fruit, cherry, orange mint, and apple.
Tootsie Pop USA
Zotz Italy Hard candy with a sour fizzy powder inside. It's a strange, but not unpleasant feeling. Comes in various flavors.

Mints

Candy Nation Notes
Altoids England A small, but powerful mint with a circular tablet shape and sold in a tin. I find these to be too strong and cause me mild nausea. Other flavors include cinnamon, wintergreen, and spearmint, which I don't find to be as strong. Rarer flavors that I haven't tried include ginger, licorice, creme de menthe, and cool honey.
E-Ma - Uha Japan Hard mints in a variety of flavors. I've only had grape, which is quite nice and has a hint of mint.
Jack 'n Jill - Dynamite Thailand Mint lozenge with chocolate creme inside. The strong mint flavor overpowers the chocolate unless you suck off the majority of the candy shell first.
Junior Mints USA Small semi-sweet chocolate discs with a gooey peppermint filling. Quite good, but not as good as a York Peppermint Pattie.
King - Peppermint Holland Peppermint discs. Kind of like a large Altoid, but a bit milder.

Pearson's - Mint Patties USA, Minnesota A peppermint patty coated with dark chocolate. Like a York Peppermint Pattie, but there is more filling and it's a bit gooier.
Ramune Candy - Morinaga South Korea Little candies made from hardened powered sugar and flavored like ramune soda. I've had grape and Ramune flavors, which are both okay.
Red Bird Peppermint Candy Puffs USA A crunchy mint that easily falls apart when you chew it and has a mild peppermint flavor. I love these because, unlike most peppermint candies, they're not overpowering.
Rito - Wintergreen Canada Pink wintergreen mints. I love the flavor, but they're a bit harder than they need to be.
Starbrite Peppermint Discs USA Basically a candy cane in disc form. Boring and too strong a flavor. Gives me nausea after only a couple.
Starbrite Spearmint Discs USA A spearmint-flavored disc. Fairly boring, but better than the peppermint.
Tic Tac Big Berry Adventure Canada Mix of raspberry and blueberry Tic Tac mints. The combination of berry and mint is a bit odd, and, with only two flavors, it's hardly an "adventure."
Tic Tac Mints Italy Various flavors of mint in tiny candies. My favorite flavors are wintergreen, orange, cinnamon, and fresh mint.
Violet - Choward's USA, New York A chalky mint with a floral flavor very reminiscent of soap. Kind of awful, but still hard to stop eating.
York Peppermint Pattie USA A peppermint patty coated with dark chocolate. Very enjoyable and good texture.

Candy Company Country Notes
Fluffy Stuff - Snowballs Charms USA, Tennessee White cotton candy. I've had strawberry flavor which tastes like traditional cotton candy with a hint of artificial strawberry.
Fun Dip Ferrara USA Flavored powered sugar with citric acid (similar to Pixy Stix) in little pouches to be eaten with the included candy sticks which are also powered sugar pressed into a long tablet. You lick the stick to get it wet, dip it in the powder which sticks to the wet stick, and then eat the powder off the stick. Originally called Lik-M-Aid until 1989 and sold with four flavors: cherry, grape, lime, and orange. Now, there are all sorts of flavors.
Pixy Stix Ferrara USA Flavored powered sugar and citric acid in a paper straw. Not much flavor, but fun to eat by emptying the powder and sucking it up through the straw. Several flavors have been made over the years. When I was a kid my favorite flavors in order were punch (blue), cherry, grape, lime, and orange. Now, packages are sold with only four flavors: punch, cherry, strawberry, and orange. The powder is very similar to Fun Dip, and the flavors are very similar to Sweet Tarts.
Sherbert Fountain Barratt UK White powered sugar that becomes a foam in your mouth. Nice flavor, but too sweet. Includes a black licorice dipping "stick."
