Starbursts are ok on the flavor-side of things but they're one of the worst tooth-yanking candies out there and not worth the effort of chewing for what you get. Very overrated.

whens the last time you had a starburst? sounds like you're talking about DOTS or Milk Duds here. Jujufruit even!

the fave reds starburst are A+ if you're a candy guy

I don't really like sweet/fruity candy that much, but the red and pink Starburst are all right. I'm more of a fan of hot cinnamon candy than any other kind.

like hot tamales? no way that is anyone's favorite candy

 

[Omni]

I like Atomic Fireballs the most. I buy a small bag of them every week and keep them in my desk at work for when I'm on the computer.

Hot Tamales are good too, but I don't like chewy candy as much as I like hard candy.

Cherry sours >>> all

I used to really like lemon sherbets back when I used to allow myself to eat copious amounts of sugary crap.

I'd rather just eat chocolate chips than most chocolate bars/candies. And fuck milk chocolate.

red starbursts > purple skittles bag > choc chip cookies > everything else > meats > veggies

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Meats > all

If I have the choice between meat and dessert, or meat and more meat, meat always wins. Unless it's my mom's chocolate chip cookie dough pies.

Thought the percentage of people who think this was interesting: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub.../june_2018/31_think_u_s_civil_war_likely_soon

It seems like in any poll you'll always have at least 10-20% of participants choosing an absolutely retarded answer that defies reason. The remaining fraction of those are just the political crazies. Apparently the numbers haven't changed much vs when asked during Obama's term either.

Kennedy retiring is yuge; time for another Gorsuch on the bench. Now just need RBG to hang it up.

The lefties would explode if that happened while Trump was still prez

Vox et al are already in full damage control mode. "Maybe we need some term limits......". Rock solid independent journalism there bud.

Hilarious news, but I'm not sure how good. Kennedy's presence tended to swing things in a good direction overall, even though it was more of a Mr. Magoo act than him having the right reasons. 2A issues and similar things were already a lock thanks to Gorsuch and Kennedy's swing, but since the non-partisan nature of the court is more illusory than ever, this also means a hypothetical Patriot Act or Civil Forfeiture 2: Judicial Boogaloo will have no problem passing under a 5-4 Republican court. The Supreme Court is the only branch of the government where the left actually does the right thing sometimes.
