A few things:

The pink heart Runt is the best one,
Swedish Fish need to be somewhat gummy/somewhat tough, there's a perfect balance in there, somewhere,
Nibs all day, every day,
Smarties--so basic but still kinda fun, I always made-believe they were pills, weird, huh?,
Plain M&M's are best served cold,
A fun sized candy bar of any sort is the Devil's way of turning you into a glutton, thus winning the war,
What are those generic-strawberry-looking-things with the red and green-top wrappers that have a hard, red shell and slight strawberry goo in the middle? They're at every parade and kinda good, I'd for sure run in front of a tractor brigade for one,
Banana runts are the worst, avoid them,
This is a public shout-out to Sprees, HEYYYY,
Sour Patch Kids are both a blessing and a curse, so yum and so good but killer stomach cramping and acid-warped taste buds are often unavoidable side-effects,
Old timey SweeTarts are also good but they too warp your taste buds,
Kit Kats are a waste of time and calories,
Tootsie Rolls, get outta my face, who has the time?,
Birthday cake ice cream MUST have multi-color confetti otherwise it's no good,
Generic butterscotch are complete nostalgia; flashes me back to the 80's while at Grandma's trailer,
The "chewy" version of any hard candy is always completely disgusting,
Watermelon Twist Trident 16 hours a day, always,
It felt so wrong to eat the stick of a Lik-m-Aid fun dip,
I have to be in the right mood for Red Vines,
I still find Whatchamacallits intriguing,
I've OD'ed on Laffy Taffy at the pool so many times I can barely stand to think about it, insta-cramp,
Jelly Bellies are completely obnoxious and disgusting, generic JBs all the way,
Brach's old fogie peppermints will never go out of style, such a class act,
I have no idea what the difference is between Almond Joys and Mounds beside that one has nuts and the other don't but I do know that both are nast,

and lastly, never order a Nerd Blizzard.

They can only be deemed delicious as mutually exclusive snack events.
