Bought a pack yesterday at the petrol kiosk and now I just remembered I have a pack in my bag so eating it for sugar rush.
Googled the pic and found this site that actually ranks sweets around the world.
6. Nerds - 111 points
(7 of 14 lists. Highest ranking - #4 Steve-O)
Nerds are a form of candy currently sold by Nestlé under their Willy Wonka Candy Company brand.
Introduced in 1983, Nerds are small sweets that come in a variety of abstract shapes and flavors, (which are usually circle-like, or ovals) and are usually sold in a box that has two separate flavors, each with a separate opening device. Nerds are anthropomorphized on the cover of its distinctive box package. The separation of two distinct flavors in one commodity has generated success for Nerds, likely because consumers can control their experiences. A Nerds breakfast cereal based on this concept appeared in the 1980s, but had a short life. Nerds were introduced before 1983 by a man named Petronilo Hernandez who worked at the factory making jawbreakers and various other candies, when he decided to use the remainings of the candy pieces and coat them with a sweet flavor, and later put them up for sale. This was tested, and was a success.
Nerds are of varied flavors and varied colors, ranging from extremely sweet to extremely sour; often the two flavors in one box will contrast, and a single flavor may even exhibit both extremes. They are thickly glazed with carnauba wax, which gives them a hard bite, and a gloss. The nucleus of each candy is composed of one or more complete sucrose crystals. These optically clear monoclinic crystals are about 0.2–1 mm in length and help define the irregular shape.
One of slave's fav sweets would be GUMMY BEARS! and gummy worms!
You can buy me a year's supply of Nerds and I'll be happy as a bird! Muahaha!
