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.

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

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.

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

...Woof

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,

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

I don't often eat these nowadays, but if you remind me that they used to be called Opal Fruits they taste better.

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.

Now and later

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

You could just call them flingles and a single one would be called a flingle. Seems much easier to me

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

8

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

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