I don't have a 'sweet tooth'. I can only handle so much sweetness before it overwhelms me. As such I tend to dislike most candy. However, there was a candy when I was growing up when my Grandmother would take me to the nursing home every weekend where she would chat with friends and I would roam about. The last time I had the candy must have been around 2005 or 2006. I've been trying for years to find it again. As it stands, I have! Introducing Claeys Lemon Sanded Candy! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XICO5Y Finding a Lemon candy that didn't attack you for simply wanting something lemon flavored is hard. I've been through so many looking for these. They are so calming, probably due to the nostalgia of them all, but I digress. It has such a gentle lemon flavor that you could suck on these for hours. I highly recommend. On an unrelated note, I don't have a bitter or spicy urge either. Flavors are simply too strong for me a lot of the times. Though I do have a savory taste. Edit: After reading some of the reviews for the link above it would seem that they have a less than reliable delivery reputation. (I may have gotten lucky...) If anyone is interested the new link may be a better alternative. https://www.amazon.com/Claeys-Fashi...F8&keywords=Hard+Candy&s=grocery&sr=1-26&th=1
I gotta say congrats. Finding after searching for so long and having the product live up to the nostalgia must be very fulfilling.
Oh it is very much so. I smile every time I think about them, which is a lot since I've been sucking on them for a while now. If I had to describe the feeling, I'd put it as a combination of Smug and Catharsis.
Looks like it contains several GMO products, but since ball shrinkage may not be an issue, suck away...
