    Some of the “chalk” ones aren’t bad. The flavour is inconsequential as long as it’s not offensively gross and is somewhat sweet, I just really like the texture. Especially the pressed ones, that don’t make too much mess in your hands but do come apart into powder in your mouth.

      Kinda agree, there are these ones where I live called musk sticks that are fragrant extruded fondant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musk_stick

      (cw animal product because some contain gelatine)

      Also I definitely fuck with other ‘dry’ sweets like polvorones

      But, I think I’ve already argued against myself cos neither of those two ‘chalky’ sweets are American. The American ones I’m thinking of are like the love heart hard candy, and shaped hard candies.

      I probably am doing them a bit of an injustice in that I haven’t eaten enough of their sweets to pass a qualified judgement

        I know exactly what American candies you’re talking about. My country is unfortunately physically close to America, so we have a lot of similar foodstuffs if not just the exact same things. Those were the sweets I was talking about. They don’t taste good, but I don’t eat them because the taste is anything spectacular or interesting, I just like the texture of most of them. Sensory processing disorder makes me do the strangest things, I’m telling ya. (You don’t want to know some of the places I’m driven to by the on and off since I was ten search for a hug vest in adult sizes, which seems to not be a thing that exists.)
