I'm more baffled by chicken feet and pigs feet...why would anyone want to eat feet, and what the heck is there even to eat on a chickens foot???
Have had both those feet and they're not bad. But there's definitely better parts of the animal to war instead.0 -

Lol, that is my favorite kind of cake, especially with lots of cream cheese frosting!

Exactly how can they even call it corn. Why does the corn industry not sue for defamation of character.3 -

Do you realize that candy corn is one of a whole class of candy called "mellocreme"? It also includes the peculiar squatty-shaped orange pumpkins with fat green stems, Valentine hearts, and some odd Christmas shapes. I think they contain carnauba wax (seriously).
I only know this because one of my rowing coaches was obsessed with mellocreme candy, malted milk balls, and slightly stale marshmallow Peeps.

Canned meat
Licorice (including Twizzlers and red vine)
Original tootsie rolls (the flavored are yum!)
Banana FLAVORED anything. It TASTES grainy.
Cherry flavored things. Taste like cough syrup.
Canned cheese.
Love carrot cake, hate spam, always had pan fried bologna with ramen noodles when I was a kid.0 -

If it hasn't been said already. Peeps, there are so many varieties? I find it so confounding that these little bits of Styrofoam are so popular.3

LOL, yep! A bit like banana bread...
People think, hmm, it's got carrots/bananas, it's "Healthy!!".
Um, have you seen the calories in carrot cake and banana bread?! Almost never worth it.
I can use less calories on a chocolate bar.Lol, that is my favorite kind of cake, especially with lots of cream cheese frosting!
Cream cheese frosting is the only reason I eat carrot cake.
I don't think people made banana bread because they thought it was healthy. I think they made it because their bananas went from green to black overnight and didn't want to throw them away all the time.
Actually we can know why banana bread even exists- more bananas, the Great Depression and baking powder. https://blog.kingarthurflour.com/2017/02/23/short-history-of-banana-bread/
I like my banana bread with peanut butter smeared on it and calories be damned. Maybe I nust make exceptionally tasty banana bread.
There is no good excuse for carrot cake. There are better ways to eat cream cheese frosting.5 -

One of those things your rowing coach was obsessed with is not like the others.
In that it is a perfectly palatable candy (which I can no longer eat). The other two? Blech.4 -

Fruitcake? Well, if you are what you eat....
Salted licorice? Never heard of that. You take a nice cherry Red Vine, and somebody went "This needs sodium" WTF is that?
Like all things, Spam (in moderation) is okay. Cubed and mixed with scrambled eggs is better than ham, IMHO.
3 Musketeers? Only candy that gives me instant diarrhea.........just horrible2 -

Salted licorice is licorice flavoured, not red vine flavoured (calling that stuff licorice is wrong imo)...0
