@eagonwild one year I put rawhide “candy canes” on the tree. The dogs left them alone until christmas day and then carefully picked them off one by one
@Salanth I’m not sure. They were golden retrievers so they were big chewers anyway and we always had rawhide on hand. Maybe they realized they were fair game once all the gifts were no longer under the tree
Ok so I will have to find that for my kid. She makes pickle popsicles out of pickle juice left in the pickle jar. Which, in my opinion, was gross. Pickles are gross though. One christams as a joke I gave her a 5 gallon container of pickles. She was thrilled. I decided not to think about the salt level in what she was eating.
@hchavers@Kidsandliz@Salanth Several brands of pickles sell pickle juice by the gallon. Texas Brand Best Maid pickles is one of them and I think Mt Olive does too. I drink it to combat acid reflux.
I like peppermint only. And if you break off the top then you can (eventually) use them as a straw in an orange and suck out the orange juice (after squeezing the orange enough to liberate the juice). I liked doing that as a kid.
They’re “OK”. Neither good nor bad.
They are, however, exponentially better than Candy Corn.
@OnionSoup True. Candy canes are much easier to hang on a Christmas tree.
I think most of them are on Santa’s Naughty List. They only get stockings filled with coal.
I’ve had a few that were tolerable, but my capacity for peppermint is exhausted daily via toothpaste, so the common ones are just not welcome.
@werehatrack Cinnamon toothpaste!
i’m the one who eats all of the candy canes off the christmas tree, so

That’s incredible! How did they know to leave them be?

Are you asking if Candy is good, seriously?
@hchavers Pickle candy canes exist.
@hchavers there is plenty of bad candy.

While AM doesn’t have the Clamdy Canes this year, they do have the ever-popular Possum-flavored ones: https://mcphee.com/collections/candy-canes/products/possum-flavored-candy-canes

Peppermint ones, yes.
The weird flavored ones that Linda Belcher bought, no.

Candy canes are inherently neither bad nor good. It all depends on how you use them.
I like peppermint only. And if you break off the top then you can (eventually) use them as a straw in an orange and suck out the orange juice (after squeezing the orange enough to liberate the juice). I liked doing that as a kid.
@Kidsandliz Carnivals used to sell lemons with a candy cane “straw.” They were good. Messy and weird, but good.
King Leo and Bob’s, yes. It looks like Bob’s has been rebranded as Breach’s this year, so my opinion may be a year out of date. But maybe not!
