#watermelon and blue raspberry are the best flavors

[west-coast-lana]

I'm sorry but if you prefer and actually enjoy green apple flavored candy (like lollipops, jolly ranchers, etc) then you are literally a psychopath.

I’ve Been the Forest and the Fire (and the Witness Watching It) DC x DP Dead on Main (Jason Todd/Danny Fenton) Teen Soulmates AU

Chapter 2!

Teaser:

"This is bullshit."

His soulmate turns around at the sound of his voice. Freezes. He looks tired and scrungly and of course. Because the universe hates Jason, so of course the asshole is also in the class he's taking for his Maths Gen-Ed credit.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Jason stands over him. "Aren't you supposed to be really good at math, or something? Why are you in an intro level class?"

His eyes are huge. "I don't test well and did bad on the placement exam."

"Great," Jason seethes. A twisting in his gut makes him feel like he's about to throw up. The soul bond demands proximity with his 'other half'. Chronically contrarian, Jason fights the instinct and the rising nausea before giving in. He slides into the desk next to his soulmate. The discomfort immediately eases. "Fucking fantastic."

There's attempts at a conversation. Jason ignores it in favor of getting himself settled. Pulls a copy of the list of accommodations he'll need that the Student Affairs Office helped him put together. Subtly scopes the room - for exits, and the best desk for when he brings Ace.

Ignores the put-out expression, the longing looks coming from his right.

Thankfully, the professor focuses on reviewing the syllabus only. And assigns a set of problems. What sort of jerk assigns homework on the first day?

Students scramble for the exit as soon as the dismissal comes. Asshole looks like he has something to say, but Jason just… he can't. Refuses. Before he gets subjected to what the fuck ever the asshole thinks he needs to say, Jason snags the professor.

He's vaguely aware of his soulmate lingering, and then eventually leaving. His gut clenches and his hands shake.

•○●○•

Jason stops in his tracks. The asshole looks at him. Jason glares back.

He's in Jason's literature course too.

"Whoa, 'scuse me," another student mumbles, side-stepping around Jason and his cane where he's standing stock-still in the doorway. Fuck.

OK. Fine. He has two classes with the piece of shit. Jason's dealt with worse.

He doesn't sit next to him, finding a seat in the second row and near the door. It's strategic. Less walking, a better view of the board. There'll be more room in the aisle for Ace when he starts bringing him. Jason stakes his claim - this'll be his desk for the semester.

The asshole can sit in the back like a delinquent. Jason doesn't care. He can't see him from here anyway.

The professor - mid-30s, bearded, Southern accent - makes them do an ice-breaker game. Jason wants to die.

Professor 'Just call me Justin' holds up a bag of Jolly Ranchers, directs them to take one and pass the bag down the line. Jason fiddles with the wrapper of his 'cherry' (it doesn't taste like cherry, he can't be convinced otherwise) while the bag makes its journey, and Justin makes an odd list on the board.

Grape for a favorite poem, Blue Raspberry for a pet's name, Lime for best vacation, Watermelon for 'what you wanted to be when you grew up', and Cherry for favorite food.

"Alright, everyone got a candy?" Justin claps the chalk dust from his hands. "Great, I'll start. I'm Justin," the class titters. Yes, they know. "Lime! So, I taught English in Japan for four years. My favorite vacation was to some traditional hot springs in Osaka. Next…. you!"

The random student pointed to blushes. "Oh! Uh, Karmine. Blue, my family's dog is named Cesar."

"Hi, Karmine! Pick your victim."

She shrinks a little, points randomly. It goes on like that - name, flavor, stupid random fact. It's dumb. There's cringing and some laughs at the stupid pet names. Then someone - Samir, Jason now knows - points to him.

As if he isn't a local celebrity that's had his photo in every newspaper multiple times since he was 12. And that tabloids theorize about his relationship with Bruce, or why Bruce is 'ashamed of him' as a cripple.

"Jason, chili dogs from Dave's stand." In between the pitying looks, a few nod knowingly. Locals, then. He ignores the smattering of whispers, no doubt picking up on theory crafting about him where Vicki Vale left off.

He taps the desk of the guy next to him. And away it goes, another name, flavor, and answer.

Jason's tapped out, vaguely listening but mostly only keeping track of who hasn't gone. It's background noise, all he wants is to talk to the professor and go the fuck home. When —.

"Danny. Uh, watermelon. I wanted to be an astronaut." The asshole smiles shyly, then ducks his head and rubs the back of his head.

Gross. Jason knows his name now. He frowns and the asshole — Danny — sees it, the smile dropping off his face.

Gross. He turns forward, Danny pointing to one of the few remaining people. It's hard to breathe and the wrapper of the Jolly Rancher is sticky when he unwraps it. Pops it in it his mouth.

Gross. Fake cherry.

**A Sweet Journey Through My Favorite Candies**

Candy has a unique ability to evoke memories and bring joy, and each of my favorite candies holds a special place in my heart. Let's take a sweet tour through the history and delightful flavors of each candy that I adore.

PAYDAY Classic Peanut and Caramel Candy Bar

First up is the PAYDAY Classic Peanut and Caramel candy bar from the Hershey Company. Introduced in 1932, this candy quickly became a favorite for many, thanks to its simple yet satisfying combination of roasted peanuts and chewy caramel. I love how the salty crunch of the peanuts contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the caramel. Each bite is a delightful journey through textures—a perfect blend of chewy and crunchy. The PAYDAY bar was initially marketed as a ‘nutty’ snack, and its appeal has only grown over the decades. It's the perfect candy for anyone who appreciates that delightful combination of sweet and salty!

Willy Wonka's Nerds Gummy Clusters “Very Berry” are a delightful twist on the original Nerds candy. Launched in 2020, these clusters combine the beloved crunchy Nerds with a chewy gummy center. The “Very Berry” flavor is a fantastic medley of berry goodness that takes my taste buds on a delightful journey through sweet and tangy sensations. The Willy Wonka Candy Company, inspired by the whimsical world of Roald Dahl’s character, has always focused on innovation and fun in candy-making. Every time I pop a gummy cluster into my mouth, I feel like a kid again, enjoying a little whimsy and joy.

A classic favorite of mine is STARBURST FaveReds Fruit Chews from The Wrigley Company. This iconic candy has been around since the 1960s, and the FaveReds variety features all the best red flavors: strawberry, cherry, and fruit punch. Each chewy bite bursts with juicy flavor, and I can’t help but smile when I taste the familiar fruity goodness.

Whenever I need a moment of indulgence, I reach for these truffles that remind me of life’s sweet luxuries.

Old-fashioned Strawberry Bon Bons by Arcor Candy Company

When I think of Old-fashioned strawberry bon bons from Arcor Candy Company, the first thing that comes to my mind is, “these are grandma candies.” Founded in 1951 in Argentina, Arcor has built a reputation for quality sweets that stand the test of time. These bon bons bring a wave of nostalgia; the hard candy shell gives way to a chewy strawberry center that bursts with flavor. I adore the vibrant red hue and the classic design of these bon bons, reminiscent of the candy jars that used to line my grandmother’s kitchen. They’re not just a candy—they represent a delightful journey down memory lane, with each one evoking the sweet simplicity of childhood.

Peanut Chocolate M&M’s by Hershey Company

Peanut Chocolate M&M’s from the Hershey Company are another classic that I adore. Since their introduction in 1954, these colorful candies have brought joy to countless people, including me.

These bite-sized candies, filled with sweet peanut butter and coated in a colorful candy shell, are a delightful snack that never fails to make me smile. Launched in 1978, they gained immense popularity after appearing in the film “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.” I love how the crunchy shell gives way to that creamy peanut butter center, creating a satisfying treat that’s perfect for sharing—or for indulging all by myself! Their fun colors and delicious taste make them a great addition to any candy collection.

Buttered Popcorn Jelly Beans by The Jelly Belly Candy Company

Finally, I can’t forget to mention the unique and whimsical Buttered Popcorn Jelly Beans by The Jelly Belly Candy Company. Founded in the 1970s, Jelly Belly is known for its wide array of flavors. These jelly beans capture the classic taste of movie theater popcorn, and I love that they offer a sweet twist on a savory treat.

Literally no one asked me for this but I need to distract myself so here’s my Gum Rankings cuz I’m a connoisseur

Trident- 7.5/10 for me I have to eat 2 at a time cuz I need more resistance than just the one gives me, the flavor doesn’t last long enough for u to even get the gum soft enough to blow bubbles too cuz it’s like a brick. BUT I like the packets a LOT (they’re like little foldy wallets hehe :D) and the flavors are very good in the beginning plus it’s very thick and puts a lot of pressure on my jaw(good autism👍)

Trident flavors - the Island Berry Lime and Dragon Fruit Lychee ones are the best ones I’ve tried so far, I really like pairing one Tropical Twist with one Watermelon Twist it is an Experience for sure. Worst flavor is Wintergreen. It just burns

Extra- 8/10 very good texture and it’s almost immediately poppable plus it lasts for like 2 hours. I really like the big packs they come in cuz I save them and reuse them to hold my button collection :> only grievance is that they’re very soft and don’t put any pressure on my jaw unless I eat two of them but then it’s TOO much so I have to eat 1.5 and that’s rlly awkward and just generally annoying

Extra flavors- Pink lemonade will always be on top‼️ watermelon is the worst one it’s like eating an eraser NO CINNAMON cinnamon is the worst idk WHO thought that’d be a good idea but it’s like hot tamales but worse

Hubba Bubba - 10/10 I love it so much omg perfect texture and it’s IN A TAPE DISPENSER that’s so cool I always thought that was so cool and it also means I can get however much I want

Hubba Bubba flavors - ive only had the og and the sour blue raspberry which both went hard asf

5- 7/10 flavor is strong and long lasting but I have to eat 2 which sucks cuz they’re the big ones so it’s actually the whole 1.5 situation all over again and they don’t have a ton of flavors it’s just mint mint strawberry and whatever the hell “elixir” is (I’m aware there’s other ones they’re hard to come across)

5 flavors- strawberry is the best and spearmint is the worst not that it had much competition but still

Orbit- 3/10 not nearly enough gum per pack with how much I need and I don’t like the design of it tbh. Plus it’s got that brick texture and the flavor lasts for like 15 minutes.

Orbit flavors- it’s all mint. Why is everything mixed with mint. Strawberry is the best wintermint is the worst

Ice Breakers Ice Cubes- 6/10 have to eat like 3 but also I get to eat a cube and it’s just so silly and fun to me idk. And I can reuse the containers for my little seed starters I make. Flavor doesn’t last very long tho :(

Ice Breakers flavors- cherry limeade is the best cinnamon is the worst. Pls stop with the cinnamon

Juicy Fruit- 6/10 it’s a very good texture and the flavor and packaging is very nostalgic to me but it’s almost sickly sweet and I can only stand it every once in a while.

Juicy Fruit flavors- I have literally never found a flavor other than the original

Eclipse- 4/10 I like the texture, I have to eat two as usual but still. Hate the unnecessary packaging like you could’ve just put MORE gum in there but instead you’re wasting my time with this clunky package I can never seem to open. No fun flavors :(

Eclipse flavors- they’re all mint again polar ice is my favorite and I’m a lifelong spearmint hater

And I think that’s it unless I think of another brand yeah :D thanks for letting me yap about gum on the internet
