I understand having a preference, but here and elsewhere people act like a certain type of candy is poison if it's not their favorite. Like, relax. Some of these old-ass candies just continue on via momentum and they're fine. Except wax candy. That Legally Edible Product®️ shit should be banned simply to limit the disappointment of children...

I'm pretty sure the point of those little wax bottles has never been to be "candy," but rather to be sensory stimulation for kids too old to put random objects in their mouths.

Perhaps, but I think the different varieties all call themselves candy, or at least are sold in that section alongside candy. And the lips/fangs/mustaches are even worse! It's flavored, but you're not supposed to eat it, but it's food-grade, but you're only supposed to chew it, but your body can't even digest it... Again, no matter what you call it, the absolute worst type of "candy".
