@hchavers, or what freaking happened to the Candy Corn¿ BTW, still have some from 2 years ago! I keep it in da fridge next to my Insulin pens & batteries!!
Hmmmm…$19 for one and a half pounds of sugar. But that’s for normal stuff; his is Harry Potter stuff. How heavy is a Harry Potter ounce? And does it do anything really really magical? And how does it effect muggles? I mean, do we have enough information? Of course, it has to be FDA approved, but they’re not going to claim magical capabilities because that would be subject to testing and would slow getting the product to market. So…are you willing to take a chance that these will be magical??
@eeterrific, this candy’s just as magical as all those vac-cines, and the FDA approved them; they approve anything!! Plus, most of the time, the Fb FDA doesn’t vet in a big hurry!
@sillyheathen@stinks I mean, yeah it’s cute candy and it would gift nicely to my relatives who are still silly about HP. And there’s the biting the head of the candy bird. I will see how it looks in the morning.
Mmmm if these were $1 each I’d be much more likely to bite. Half because I don’t know what I’d be in for, and I know slapping the names Jelly Belly and Harry Potter on something makes it suddenly worth more. Half because the Trolli Halloween candy I was getting from Dollar Tree covers my gummi cravings. Shame they seem to have finally run out, those Bats Cat’s and Rats were 4oz besides. Much mulling to be made over this. This is coming from so
@Tiamat114 Yeah but a lot of Dollar Tree stuff, especially candy, comes from China, and of unknown ingredients. These have the substantial benefit of coming from Jelly Belly and with almost “healthy” ingredients. Not saying they are a “health food,” but they focus on having non-evil colors and additives.
@pmarin To be fair 99.8% of Jelly Belly products make no attempt to avoid non-evil colors and additives. I’m quite happy they did in this case, though.
@caffeineguy As with any product, if it’s not what you want, don’t buy it. These aren’t sold as fruit snacks. They’re sold as sweets (or candy if you don’t speak British). For those who want a gummy candy that doesn’t contain gelatin, and that isn’t primarily made of high fructose corn syrup, these are a decent option.
I got these with a Jelly Belly order in the past as a free gift, they’re really good. More importantly, my dad loved them (as he loves anything from Jelly Belly), and Father’s Day is coming up, so … ordered! Thanks, meh!
@pmarin 10 seconds in the microwave make those stroopwafels almost match the experience of a fresh one from the stroopwafel cart at King’s Day at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
Jelly Belly had free shipping with $31 this weekend so I bought some stuff on sale. Love their mellowcremes and the bridge mix is the best I have had. This Harry Potter stuff seems pricey. It has been on sale off and on for over a year now.

I got excited about discount jelly belly products, but the harry potter branding is somehow making these cost more than regular jelly bellies and far more than belly flops.
also, around xmas i had a gelatin free bag of gummies somewhat accidentally and although the flavor was good the texture was really stodgy off putting stuff that just got mashed into your molars on the first chew. that was some kind of corn and chicory root fibers though, maybe the potato starch is better.
@caffeineguy
They have indeed. Irk and Dave have a conversation about it in today’s daily email. While always good, the recent string of @KellyinHR ‘nothing to see here’ chats are especially so.
I know most of the pride stuff companies do is just nonsense to get sales anyway, but to sell candy from a TERF’s franchise the first day of the month seems a little shitty.
JK Rowling tweeted about an article titled “Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate”.
In a rather tongue-in-cheek tweet, she said, “People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?”
The haters immediately started hating. Ms. Rowling’s response to the hate was the followig:
“If sex" (read gender) "isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth,” she tweeted. “The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women—i.e., to male violence—‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences—is a nonsense.”
She continued, “I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.”
@Trinityscrew she’s said plenty that’s not ok, and I suspect you know it. I already know it’s not worth arguing with you about, so I won’t. I’m only posting this so other people reading along at home know to do their own research before just buying your bs.
Even the statements you posted here are hurtful to many trans women. If you don’t have empathy, I have nothing for you.
@Seeds Nothing I printed is BS. It’s fact. And I would encourage everyone reading at home to look and see the things Ms. Rowling said. There isn’t any hate in her words.
the following quote is from AERO:
“Of course, to assume that Ms.Rowling’s missive would be engaged with in the spirit in which it was intended, is to make the mistake of imagining that the identitarian left is broadly committed to secular, rational discourse. It is not. Its activist component has transmogrified into a religious movement, which brooks no opposition and no discussion. You must agree with every tenet or else you’re a racist, sexist, transphobic bigot, etc. Because its followers are fanatics, Rowling is being subjected to an extraordinary level of abuse. There seems to be no cognitive dissonance among those who accuse her of insensitivity and then proceed to call her a cunt, bitch or hag and insist that they want to assault and even kill her.”
I used that quote because it sums up my feelings on the subject pretty well.
@Trinityscrew the issue with her is she has the need to place trans women outside some concept of ‘real women’. It’s nothing crazy, complicated, or religious
So these arrived and they are a little bit old seeming, a bit hardened and very chewey. The flavor is good so far and the texture is strange but not bad, so I’m ok with gifting them.

@IndifferentDude, Looks like he’s saying ‘Might’, not ‘Why’, or am I hallucinating,…again!
As long as they are not hairy sweets.
@yakkoTDI oh you mean Bertie Bott’s Salty Flavoured Balls?
@mcanavino @yakkoTDI they’re so delicious that it really disgusts me.
@mcanavino @yakkoTDI, or Baldwin’s [SNL] Sweaty Balls!
CANDY!!!
Can I just get a garbage bag of them? What model # would that be?
@mexicantacos H4RRY-POOPER-MAG1CAL-$HIT$
Where are the chocolate frogs?
@hchavers I would order them all if it were the frogs.
@hchavers, or what freaking happened to the Candy Corn¿
BTW, 
still have some from 2 years ago! 
I keep it in da fridge next to my Insulin pens & batteries!!
@1DisabledWarVet @hchavers Wait, Meh sold insulin pens? I’m in for three!
They’re just fruit snacks. Mott’s will sell you twice as many for $10.
Hmmmm…$19 for one and a half pounds of sugar. But that’s for normal stuff; his is Harry Potter stuff. How heavy is a Harry Potter ounce? And does it do anything really really magical? And how does it effect muggles? I mean, do we have enough information? Of course, it has to be FDA approved, but they’re not going to claim magical capabilities because that would be subject to testing and would slow getting the product to market. So…are you willing to take a chance that these will be magical??
@eeterrific A Harry Potter ounce is just over 28 grams, dude.
@eeterrific, this candy’s just as magical as all those vac-cines, and the FDA approved them; they approve anything!! Plus, most of the time, the Fb FDA doesn’t vet in a big hurry!
Seems a little pricey maybe? What am I missing here. Almost $7 a bag that is 2.1 oz of gummy candy is actually a list price that someone is paying?
@Vertabrae I, too, am peak confused.
/giphy hello peak confused
@stinks @Vertabrae
Apparently some one is!
That’s insanity!

Apparently I deleted part of the last sentence. This is coming from someone who loves gummi candy more than chocolate.

These have the substantial benefit of coming from Jelly Belly and with almost “healthy” ingredients. Not saying they are a “health food,” but they focus on having non-evil colors and additives.
@pmarin Fair counter point. Its part of why I’ve been mulling them over rather than out right dismissal.
@pmarin To be fair 99.8% of Jelly Belly products make no attempt to avoid non-evil colors and additives. I’m quite happy they did in this case, though.
They’re British gummies that don’t contain gelatin (for anyone who wishes to consume less critter-derived bone and integument…)
@shahnm no artificial food dyes either
@shahnm No trans fat, just trans hate?
@shahnm Welch’s fruit snacks at least have fruit puree as the first ingredient.
@caffeineguy As with any product, if it’s not what you want, don’t buy it. These aren’t sold as fruit snacks. They’re sold as sweets (or candy if you don’t speak British). For those who want a gummy candy that doesn’t contain gelatin, and that isn’t primarily made of high fructose corn syrup, these are a decent option.

In for one 12 pack because my family digs Harry Potter and they don’t have artificial colors.
Had the price been a couple/few bucks cheaper, prolly would’ve done two
.
@dalekjoe Yeah I’m in for about $1/pack. Just like the 2,476 stroopwafels I ended up with.
@pmarin 10 seconds in the microwave make those stroopwafels almost match the experience of a fresh one from the stroopwafel cart at King’s Day at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

@ponagathos You know we generally have a place to post stuff like this. TELL US ABOUT THE CANDY SALES.

Ok it’s June now but someone will start a new thread. Probably with power tools. We like our power tools.
@sammydog01 Sorry. I will try to remember for next time. They usually always have something on sale, though normally free shipping is @ $50.
Overpriced even at that discount

@narfcake I had no idea this was a thing. I like it.
Wait… I thought magical sweets were sold at the dispensary.
Yeah. I’m out.
@DoctorOW And for sale on the first day of Pride Month.
I got excited about discount jelly belly products, but the harry potter branding is somehow making these cost more than regular jelly bellies and far more than belly flops.
@smartr They aren’t jelly beans. They’re gummies.
Let me offer my meh community an alternative that better suits our frugal hearts. The Motts come in at $.18/oz. vs Harry’s at $.76.

@lehigh crap, forgot a hyphen. And hey, no sales tax on food in Ohio! A bargain at any price.
IIRC, these are also sold in the Universal theme park shops. I wonder if there is going to be a bunch of sales on park exclusives?
i can get a 29oz bag of haribo bears for $6.99.
also, around xmas i had a gelatin free bag of gummies somewhat accidentally and although the flavor was good the texture was really stodgy off putting stuff that just got mashed into your molars on the first chew. that was some kind of corn and chicory root fibers though, maybe the potato starch is better.
either way, a hard pass.
Doesn’t anyone realize these will probably be a big melted blob of goo when Smartpost/Pitney Bowes finally delivers them?

@Seeds Meh and it’s founders are in Texas afterall… They probably DGAF
TERF (/ˈtɜːrf/, also written terf) is an acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminist. (for those of you that didn’t know)
