My son told me this weekend that he's been enjoying a lot of werther's originals recently... how old does that mean I am?
BigVag
I don't have the same sweet tooth I had as a kid. Nowadays I eat dark chocolate, wouldn't touch it as a child

I referenced a scene in Brave heart the other day. Half way through I notice the girls blank stare... I ask if she's seen it. Nope. Hadn't even heard of it and didn't know who Mel Gibson was. I am suddenly way older than I thought I was.

Mix them in a glass jar with some strawberry and orange creme saver, put into a table if the living room

The sugar free ones are eatable on keto!

I’m 48 and work for a small town post office. We have a customer who gives them out. I joked that being a girl and taking candy from an old guy should be scary but I guessed we were both old enough for it to be safe. We both chuckled. He left me 2 candies that day.

They're good though.

A month or two back (and I just turned 47 days ago), a signal suddenly went off in my brain and I was like "Must... purchase... Bit O Honey"

You crush them up and dissolve them in vodka. I was introduced to this many years ago and I make a bottle every year. Keep adding them to the bottle until it gets slightly gloopy.

A sucking candy lasts a long time, so it's good value.
Feralkyn
Me, always forgetting and then chomping them into tiny pieces: 'that's real fuckin neato'
SkeleyTorrington
Werther’s Originals are an S-tier candy and anyone that insinuates otherwise is fool
beerlady
Love me some Werthers
DJOldguy
Don't worry about it until you start buying raw ginger, just to be able to taste something..:)
jimmehboi
Now you're gonna have to start offering them to people.
psychologisttheologist
Wait, you can buy those? I thought they just magically appeared in your house or purse after a certain age.

Became a Nana, had to start a candy jar.

The vanilla creme soft caramels are awesome tbh
kawaiimoogle
Werthers salted caramel eclairs ftw
CouldntCakeLess
This.
thebonesofmyancestors
Have you tried the maple creme soft caramel ones? They are also really tasty.

My primary school students went nuts over them when I once bought a packet in. I thought they'd be really unpopular but I was very very wrong.

I spent 30 minutes researching and then purchasing nose hair trimmers the other day.
kathlTvVillain
30 minutes, I spent nearly 3 hours trying to figure out what the small room next to the kitchen was called , even googled it, I'd heard it mentioned before, but just could not think of it. Google didn't help at all. The pantry, the mud room, the scullery. No, No, ... I'll leave you to it. 😅
RalphH
I remember when they were still called Werther's Echte around here. (they changed over 25 years ago)
landbaronness42
I want some Brachs Royals caramels all different kinds

Don't regret growing old. It is a priviledge denied to many.
JackHL01
as long as you do not refer to ye olden times as "ye olden times", you are not old yet.

Already found myself giving a lecture to my kid cousin bout casette tapes and vhs.

And don’t do a sheet over your apothecary table.

I've liked them since I was a kid, so nothing really changed there for me
drcurlyfat
That was my thought. I bought them as a teenager in the 90s. Haven't had any in a long time, though. Time to purchase a bag!
aeioubz
Yeah but you just don't buy them yourself.. Jesus christ
SternLecture
same here they are delicious
LateNightBunnyParty
Same. Been one of my favorite candies since grade school.
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
They're for young people and for old people... *Those are the only two age groups who consume Werthers in adverts.
losersmanual
Have you tried the salted caramel ones? They're awesome.
ReallyFastSloth
Same, really enjoyed them then, also now.
jbhenninger
Except now, you buy them for yourself.
BlueDsc
I been doing that since I was a teen.
NirvanaNik
Grandma had them.
theworldcouldbeflat
Yeah since i hit 40 the free supplies are being redirected to my kid.
RandyRandalman
In that little glass dish on the table, mixed in with those strawberry things, some old dinner mints, 3 buttons and a thimble
FaptainPicard
Welcome to the club. We meet thursdays at 4pm for dinner. Bring a sweater, it's drafty.

Can I wear onions on my belt?
FaptainPicard
On your belt? Do you mean your suspenders?
youreathing
It's the style at the time.
SoulTakerWasSupposedToBeMyUsernameButSomebodyStoleIT
Nah Werthers where always fire, trust me I'm a young per... Well not that young... Fuck I'm old :/
Feralkyn
Nah you are correct. They were always considered "old people candy" even when I was a kid but kids always loved 'em anyway. Tiny bombs of fat and sugar, ofc everyone loves 'em
Feralkyn
That said, I don't eat them atm b/c their parent company is selling in Russia, and European companies paying taxes into Russia rn are, in my eyes, funding genocide. It cuts down a lot of chocolate, too, but at least Lindt stopped.
ctsawood0
No. You're not old until you have a bowl of dusty, stale ribbon candy...lol
bigfatdan1
That's all stuck together!
betterave
Pink puck mints count too. Wintergreen.
MBdub210
Huh? You mean wedding mints or…?
betterave
These /a/StCFmzH

And how do I reply with an image instead of a link?
MBdub210
I’ve literally never seen a candy like this. In what country do old people have these? And what’s the texture?
betterave
Canada, from my experience. It’s hard but slightly chalky candy. You can chip or gnaw at it, but not crunch it. Im at a total loss to give an example of a similar food. Comes in pink (wintergreen) or white (peppermint).
