No thanks.

I remember as a kid when I saw the doctor, I always used to grab a fistful of these.

good memories

lemon is my favorite

I have a draw on my desk dedicated to sweeties. Whenever I'm near a pound shop i grab a few bags of mixed lollies and sweets and just dump them in there. Whenever my sweet tooth is nagging me I open the draw and rummage around for something.

One of my favorite factoids.

>muh big scary words

not even saying dum-dums are good for you but jesus

it's like 2 tbs of sugar TOTAL

They aren't scary words, they are indicators of poor quality.

It feels good to have a basic understanding of what the chemicals in food are, I can simultaneously know that red 40 is bad for you while not being freaked out by yellow - orange E 101 (riboflavin)

is red 40 actually bad for you? googling brings up a whole bunch of homeopathic sites

Are there a lot of people on /ck/ who are terrified of junk food/candies or is it just the same 2 or 3 guys posting in every thread?

You're gonna die anyways, sucking on a lollipop or 2 every other day isn't going to wreck your health irreparably.

>>5154816
I see literally nothing wrong with any of that except maybe corn syrup.

>>5154968
what would be GOOD ingredients for a ball of sugar?

>>5155074
there was a study that showed a correlation between red 40 and hyperactivity.

SOUR APPLE

Considering that a total of 12 people browse this board I'd be willing to say so.

I don't see why they can't hide threads rather than shitpost in them, not only are they food related but far better than "GUYS WAT SHUD I MAKE MY BF/GF 4 DINNER" threads

Correlation doesn't mean shit

easy. their intention is to rustle their own jimmies and shit on everyone else to make themselves feel superior, not ignore the things they don't like.

These get me all nostalgic about the 90's. Definitely my favorite.

These. Fuck, I forgot about them.

Epidemiological studies would say otherwise.

>>5155773

those always cut the roof of my mouth and burnt my tongue

i like a lolli now and again, i have pretty bad oral fixation so lollis, hard candies, and chewing gum are my vice in terms of candy.
