Grape
I’ll take the grape ones if you don’t want them.
Particularly Pixie Stix. Grape’s the best flavor of those.
Yeah, wtf? Grape is fantastic. Its literally the flavor “purple”.
In Britain, if not Europe, “purple” is often blackcurrant, not grape.
You never see my man kiwi without that damn upstagin’ strawberry
Orange
Is it the flavor of the orange fruit or the flavor of the color orange? n o o n e k n o w s
FWIW the fruit was named first and is the source of the name for the color, so by that logic the flavor should be the fruit
As a certified Orange Enjoyer, it always perplexed me how other kids were always so ready to trade away their orange Starburst.
As someone who also thinks the pink ones are way overrated, though, it ultimately didn’t matter to me, because li’l me was out there making some deals
Some iffy candidates:
- root beer
- black licorice
- grape
Root beer barrels come to mind. Obviously black licorice has it’s own candy. Usually I see grape flavored fun dip and pop rocks
Licorice jelly beans and gum drops are somewhat popular.
I guess I took the question differently. If it’s a flavor sold by itself, it is the star of that candy
Makes sense.
I liked root beer barrels but haven’t seen them in decades.
Depending where you’re at in the US, Huck’s gas stations have them
Black licorice
I am Dutch and questioning the core of my existence now.
Ha! Yes, we have various fruity flavors of “licorice” in the US. In an attempt to avoid confusion we sometimes call it black licorice. We sometimes spell it properly, liquorice.
Don’t you guys have salted black licorice, too? That’s like the candy version of adding insult to injury.
Yes we have Grasshoppermouse, and to us it is like salted caramel.
ok but its really nothing like salted caramel…
that salmiak is ammonium chrloride, not sodium chloride which is whats in salted caramel… and salted caramel is balanced between salty and sweet. I’ve had sweedish salmiak candy that is essentially a hollow cylinder of licorice that melts to a point that it dumps a quarter teaspoon of ammonium salt onto your tongue. no salted caramel comes anywhere near that, and for gods sake why would it
I mean like salt and sweet.

yes ok… the gestalt is radically different, though. if someone had a salmiak licorice and was thinking it’d be anything like salted caramel they’d find that they don’t have a lot in common.
like pineapple on pizza is sweet and salty but I wouldn’t compare it to ammonium chloride candy
Whatever these orange “peanuts” are
Ah, the texture of fine styrofoam and the flavor of nearly extinct fruit shaped like a cartoon depiction of the least memorable circus snack. Truly a champion among sweets.
they taste like disappointment.
That’s the taste of shortsighted capitalists driving a species to near extinction in pursuit of a profit!
I used to love those as a kid. They were even better when they were a little stale and they had a firmer outer crust while the inside was nice and soft. Havent had them in ages, though.
Surprised to see Grape so many times! The fake grape flavor of grape candy is my favorite!
Let’s play hide and seek, I’ll hide and you seek professional help.
All joking aside, I’m glad you enjoy them! I’ve never really met anyone who does so I always have to just begrudgingly eat the grape candy myself when it comes in a bag with different flavors. I hate food waste too much to throw the damn stuff out
Save them and ferment then into wine.
This’ll probably make me go blind, but I’m on board. How?
You’re not alone, I love artificial grape
Lime? Don’t see a lot of lime candy all by themselves.
Butter too. So many candies include butter, but it’s rarely hyped as the star flavor.
What about butterscotch, though?
No thanks, I’ll take it without the butter.
A man of culture, I see
Am I the only one who doesnt care for watermelon flavor?
Of all the “red” flavors, watermelon is the most disappointing. Just give me cherry, strawberry, or raspberry. Far, far superior.
Watermelon and strawberry both, just gross.
I don’t understand the question
I’d guess that they mean that they reliably show up in an assortment but aren’t many people’s favorite.
Orange/tangerine
Yes. Orange never the star. Especially in jellies/chews.
Lies.
You know if a candy line has a fruit punch flavor you’re in for an iffy time.
Fruit punch is just all the fruits that you wouldn’t eat individually mixed together. A jambalaya of mediocrity.
‘Jambalaya of Mediocrity’. Excellent.
A Gumbo of Meh
Sour apple 🍏
hard disagree. Favorite flavor in any candy
Well it’s my star! But I feel bubble gum always gets main credits.
White jelly beans. I like them, but I have never heard anyone ever say it was their favorite.
Grape. When I am eating Skittles they are consistently the last remaining ones in the bag…
Mix the grape and lime together… excellence!
