What’s a candy you hated as a kid but totally love now?
I was eating a bag of Sour Patch Kids today and had a random realization: I absolutely despised sour candy when I was younger. Anything with citric acid dust was basically my mortal enemy. Now? I’d practically bathe in the stuff.
It got me thinking, taste buds change, nostalgia kicks in, and sometimes the candies we swore we’d never touch end up becoming our favorites.
So I’m curious:
What candy did you dislike as a kid but enjoy (or obsess over) now?
Was it a texture thing? A flavor thing? Or did your local Halloween supply just betray you too many times?
Drop your answers, I’m genuinely fascinated by people’s candy lore.
