:bow :bow :bow

i think this stuff is called HI-CHEW in english.  there's a japanese grocery store around where i work and i pick these up everytime i have lunch around there.  fuck they're sooooooo good.  it's got a soft taffy consistency, similar to chewing gum, except EDIBLE.  i think i'll send my secret santa a couple packs of this stuff.  :o

Hi-Chew reminds me a little bit of Bonkers, anyone remember them?

Hi-Chews are awesome. Strawberry, Grape, Lemon, and Apple Hi-Chew are produced in English packaging, too. They're .99 cents, opposed to $1.79 for Japanese ones.

I've also got Peach, Mango, Passionfruit, Grapefuit, Ume (Sour Plum), Valencia Orange, Pineapple, and Banana Hi-Chews at home in the candy jar.

Just like Pocky, there are regional Hi-Chew flavors. Okinawa has pineapple.

False.  The correct answer is:

They sell this on Amazon, I'm totally going to buy the sampler pack

Someone reviewed Hi-Chew on Amazon and stated the only thing it resembles (as far as American candy) is Mamba and Mamba is fucken delicious. I'm definitely sold

False.  The correct answer is:

You mean these?

Yeah, they're pretty fuckin' good too.  The Twizzler Sourz things are smaller and in bits though, so they sorta help in portion control (lol).

Diabetus total

But yeah, it looks like the Twizzler Sourz are better to handle. The Punch Straws would always get your fingers sticky and stuff.

In like 5th grade we'd have contests to see who could fit the most WARHEADS in their mouth at once. I always won with some insanely large number. I wish I could remember now what my record was, because it was quite impressive.

I still prefer sour candy to anything else.

warheads are dangerous.  i dunno how one would be able to hold all that saliva in once the sour starts kicking in.  *pucker*

Pineapple Hi-Chew are totally brilliant. I love anything pineapple flavored. Pineapple Pocky is pretty awesome, too.

Those are really good, some of my favorite sour candy... but I was always a fan of the spicier stuff... Atomic Fire Balls, Red Hots... and oh yeah, Nerds Rope kicks ass, too. I like Mamba for sweet candy.

reeses is GREAT too, if you're into chocolate.  but HI-CHEW is the king of taffy based candies!
