There are. We call them penny candy stores. Not exactly common, but we have them. Many grocery stores have a small section that's similar as well.

There are plenty of these in the US. At least in the Beforetimes.

'ave 'ome 'aribo innit?

>>15309506
we have them and they're overpriced as fuck. every one of these places is basically just a trap to get kids to spend a ton of their parents money

that said, i will still browse them and maybe pick up a small bag of stuff sometimes

>>15309495
These have been removed from my grocery store this year. The one with nuts is gone as well.

>>15309495
There are. At the vast majority of candy shops there's containers full of a variety of candies to choose from.

>>15309520
Last time I was in one about 2 years ago it was still dirt cheap. Certainly not a penny per piece anymore, but it was cheap enough that you could get sackfuls for just a few dollars

Have you seen the people who live in America? It would get used and abused. There'd be some disgusting practices around them too.

>>15309495
There fucking are, I have at least 2 at local grocery stores.
Not that I that you should be buying fucking candy as an adult.

Where do y'all live? I'm in the southeast and I have never seen any around here. There also aren't really any cheap little candy shops around like there were in England.

>>15309549
>Not that I that you should be buying fucking candy as an adult.
Grow up.

>>15309557
I know of at least 2 or 3 or 10 in malls in northern Kentucky. Are you okay?

>>15309557
>Southeast
>Where 90% of the basketball americans live
>Why isn't their any help yourself candy shops

Hmm...

>>15309495
>That store that had only banana runts
Those were my niggas
If you didn't come back from the store with a bunch of banana runts, a big ass piece of gum you would get tired of chewing halfway through and either a bouncy ball or whole lot of nothing because you easted your cash trying to get a plushie you missed out

>>15309578
>Are you okay?
What.

>>15309495
Too unsanitary, I can just picture some crackhead putting their shit covered hands wrist deep in the candy. Who knows what you'd find if there if the bin was emptied, probably old bandaids and used condoms.

>>15309495
They have self serve candy in Walmart you tard

>>15309649
They're still dotted throughout the country. The reason so many closed had nothing to do with sanitation and everything to do with big candy corporations like hershey's and mars marketing campaigns. So many american kids would rather have a giant size snickers than a handful of small treats that many penny candy stores lost too much profit to stay open.

Might as well not be in the US. I’m in Colorado, and most malls have these types of candy stores as well as some of the grocery stores. They’re not super common, but hardly rare here.

>>15309495
Every indoor mall in the US had a candy shop through the late 90's-early 00's. As mall cultured changed, they went away- along with the video arcades and puppy mills.
I liked going to a candy shop, because I could fill a bag with just buttered popcorn jelly belly.

>>15309495
this is how you bongs got a new covid strain

>>15309495
We have plenty of these, but they are fucking disgusting and I don't trust you subhumans aren't just picking the candy out with your hands or even washed your hands at all

>>15309695
>>15309649
they have scoops

>>15309495
There are.

>>15309495
there was one in san diego a few years ago, next to a movie theater. im a poorfag and have only been in one once

>>15309534
the only cheap candy worth it in the one near me was rock candy, so i got a bunch of it. rock candy is based

>>15309937
Rock candy is just dehydrated sugar water. Not based at all. Just have an A&W if that's what you want.

>>15309495
Not worth it. Bulk candy doesn't sell fast enough here to not stale or simply justify taking up that much space. Where you will find it, oddly enough, is in Fleet Farm. So you can grab your firearms, clothes, pesticides, ammunitions, and candy all at once. I've literally gone there and grabbed massive bags of sour worms and my ammo (both are coming to the range,)

the gummies are the best cause they're usually hard and on the stale side giving them the best texture

>>15309525
Yeah my local Fred Meyer had a pretty good section of stuff like that for dry goods but then covid happened.

Go back to /pol/

>>15310128
Prove I'm wrong by opening a self serve candy shop in New Orleans or Atlanta. Otherwise you've proved me right.

>>15310139
Go back to /pol/. You goddamn faggots shit up every fucking thread with your unrelated autistic screeching.

>>15309557
publix have pick n mixes all the time tf???

>>15310144
You're proving him right by screeching this is your hugbox though.

>>15310144
The question at hand is why one region of a nation has certain stores and another doesn't. Go ahead and get butthurt about demographics playing a role. Doesn't change the fact that they do.
>why can't I get an authentic mexican taco in the upper peninsula of Michigan?

>>15309495
Anyone got the webm of those two basketball fans doing unsanitary things to the candy containers in a cinema?

>>15310166
we're talking about food
niggers are not food

>>15310197
Why does this restaurant have bars on it's windows? Do you think this has zero effect on what types of business open shop?

>>15309495
You can get pretty much any candy you want at any gas station or corner store in the US. They all have huge selections of candy.

>>15310203
Your personality is the barred windows stopping people from liking you. Now fuck off.

Happily married for 27 years and have had a tabletop Shadowrun group for 30 years on the same campaign. Keep projecting though. Racism isn't the same thing as acknowledging statistics.

>>15310244
Uh huh.

>>15310271
Find the second edition tables at gencon and ask for Zero. Prove me wrong zoom zoom.

>>15309495
there are one of these in every mall in america. sometimes grocery stores are outfitted with these too. i liked the soda cola candies, i would never see them around in any other circumstance

>>15310384
also, the russian deli near me had buckets of candy. which were more fun to pick through and try.

>>15309495
Because too many mongoloids like my dad just use it to grab free handfuls of candy while they grocery shop.

>>15310128
>back to /pol/
sure, once the last niggermonkey dangles from a tree

>>15310139
Dude as much as I dislike niggers there are more than one self serve candy store in Atlanta and it functions fine.

>>15309495
Joe Biden wants these to be banned.

>>15309495
>Why are there no pick n mixes in the US? This is was one of my favorite parts of living in england as a child.
I saw them as a child. Last few times I saw them were in malls that had movie theatres as part of the mall.
I haven't seen these candy only ones in a long time in groceries, where they were just something people stuck their dirty hands in. But, Whole Foods as late as 10 years ago was my go to stop before taking a flight. I'd get some plane snacks by the pound. This was a good way to get a mixed nuts w/o salt, since a lot of their tubs were meant for vegans who cooked their own nuts. WF is a good place to pick up some chocolate of unusual origin and flavor too, like dried cherry hazelnut dark.

He seems more like a Werther's Original fan.

>>15309736
Having scoops and people actually using the scoop are two different things.
