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

[-] BunnyKnuckles@startrek.website 18 points 10 months ago

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

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

[-] ysjet@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Deebster@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months 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.

[-] Fisch@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

I thought so until I read your comment 😂

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

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

...Woof

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 50 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 20 points 10 months ago

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,

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

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

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Kaliax@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Absolutely. Now & Laters, bby.

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

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

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 23 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

Eh what's a little cellulose between snacks?

[-] nul9o9@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Have you noticed any new superpowers since then?

[-] kromem@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Wait - you can peel them!?!

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

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

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 11 points 10 months ago

Looks like a Now and Later.

[-] talentedkiwi@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

[-] deepfriedchril@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Possibly some kind of taffy sort of candy

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

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

[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Have you not heard of starburst's

Starburst

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

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starburst_(candy)

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago
[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The thing in op's post is squarish

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Oh it's a perspective trick.

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I don't feel like I've ever had the paper get stuck to a Starburst like that. Starbursts seem to be wrapped in a waxy-coated paper that doesn't stick to the candy really.

Now and Laters are wrapped in the cheapest shit paper and it gets stuck to the damn things. Then when you finally rip all the paper off and put it in your mouth it's like trying to eat a slightly flavored rock. I never understood why all the kids loved them when I was little. Honestly a shit tier candy.

Yes of course

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

Now and later

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

[-] Skipper_the_Eyechild@lemmings.world 6 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

A little extra fiber for your diet

[-] edinbruh@feddit.it 6 points 10 months ago
[-] weirdbeardgame@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months 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

[-] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 10 months ago

Disgusting candy covered in sweet, delicious paper.

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago

Yes. Just swallow. Don't chew.

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] NucleusAdumbens@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Mmm that's the best part

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Sadly, maybe.

[-] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago
[-] bradons@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

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