> I'm not so sure. Jolly Ranchers have a very strong taste. They also have a quality I don't think I've seen in any other hard candy. After sucking on them for a while, you can *bend* them with your teeth. For those not familiar with these, they are roughly brick-shaped translucent fruit-flavored candies (that also come in interesting flavors). When you suck on them long enough for the candy to shrink a bit, you can position them in your mouth vertically so that you're biting down on the ends. Holding it firmly in place with your teeth, you can slowly push out the middle with your tongue. As it gives way, you can continue to bite down and bend the candy all the way around so that the two ends touch each other. And it's still "hard," retaining its shape unless you force it to bend some other way. Bend too fast, though, and it will break. Truly a remarkably textured candy.

Yeah, and I like to lay them flat between my molars and press my teeth into them so that my jaws are locked together from my teeth being stuck in the candy and them force my jaws apart real fast. I know it sounds wierd, but hey I'm unique. :o)
