My favorite candies:
1. sweetarts.
2. sprees (hard, not chewy).
3. nerds (not rainbow flavored, though).
4. sour patch kids (these would rank much much higher, except that they hurt my teeth and peel layers of skin off of my tongue).
5. blow pops (see blow pop post).
honorable mention: gobstoppers, skittles, runts, fun dip
