I'm officially an old fart: I've discovered I LOVE Werther's Originals!

[Coventina]

Where have these little nuggets of deliciousness been hiding all my life?!?!?
Why are people so disparaging about them?!?!?!

[MuseRider]

1. I cannot buy them

I will eat them until I am sick. That and those coffee candies. Mmmmm. I have NO willpower over either of those.

[hlthe2b]

2. I would too. Never been able to moderate with the best candy.

I can go months without indulging in any cravings. But, once the "pump is primed..."

[MuseRider]

7. Oh god exactly!

[Chainfire]

4. The key is not eating more than one family sized bag full at the time! ;)

[MuseRider]

9. Now THAT made me laugh

because I have always stood there debating if I should buy what I want now or get the little bag and come back tomorrow. NO willpower at all.

15. Nips. The ones with the chocolate. The candy of death.

[Jade Fox]

3. I've been addicted to them for years.......

[Chainfire]

11. I like them too, but my real weakness if for Australian licorice.

You can hurt yourself with that stuff!

[Scrivener7]

16. Ever try Swedish chocolate with the black licorice inside?

First taste, you hate it. Second taste, you hate it. Third taste, you hate it. 10 minutes later you want some more. And then you can't stop.

5. It's not official until you get the old lady crystal candy dish

[Coventina]

6. I have one I inherited from my great-grandmother.

It's currently in a cupboard, though, rather than in use.

[Shermann]

8. You have to fill those with strawberry bon-bons

9 out of 10 grandmothers agree!

[A HERETIC I AM]

19. The colorful Hershey's Kisses at Christmas time.

[Vinca]

10. I must be an older fart than you. I've progressed from Werther's to lemon drops.

Brach's to be precise. What a stupid waste of calories habit to pick up . . . I tell myself as I buy another bag.

[lunatica]

12. I just rediscovered them too!

Now I’m going to order some again!

[dewsgirl]

13. I've loved the since I was in the 7th grade, my library teacher used

to give them to me, I've loved them since then,1989.

[doc03]

14. I like those spearmint gum drops myself. The green ones

shaped like a mint leaf.

[eppur_se_muova]

17. If that's what it takes -- I've been an old fart ever since I was a young whippersnapper ! nt

[Coventina]

18. I'm not sure why, but somehow I have the impression they are an old folks' candy.

I can't remember where that came from, exactly.

Maybe Stephen Colbert?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. Now you have to give some to children...

... whether they want them or not!

21. Werther's are **Church Candy** from Mr Jones, Ms Jones had **Starlight mints*"in her purse
