| I associate Brach's candy, hard ribbon candy, and circus peanuts with old people. What candy do you associate with the older members of our society? |

Those strawberry ones, where the wrapper is also printed to look like a strawberry.
Peanut Brittle And my grandmother LOVED Russel Stover chocolates. Even more than "good" chocolate like Godiva or Neuhaus. She'd prefer a box of Russel Stover from the drugstore. So I associate Russel Stover with old people. |

I've seen werther's referenced as old people candy so many times, and I don't get it! Werther's originals are AMAZING! I love them (I am 41.) |

My husband says I have the candy tastes of a 75-year old. These are my favorites:
Werther's originals Butterscotch Buttermints Andes mints Strawberry candy with the jelly filling Peppermint (especially candy canes) Gummy fruits with the sugar on the outside, like Sunkist fruit gems and gummy orange slices. I don't like gummy bears though. |

| I love licorice, buttermints, horehound drops, clove-flavored candy, butterscotch, coffee candies, and circus peanuts. Old people of my family always had these. I didn't like their ribbon candy, or some of the other hard candies. |
