"Cherry-flavoried" candy... Yuck!


Dark Qiviut

One very big pet peeve in candies is the artificial favoring of fruit, especially cherries.

 

Cherries have a very bold, fruity flavor. Best when firm and really juicy. The ones I prefer tend to have the sharp tartness once you bite in it. This morning, I ate a bag of cherries as my breakfast.

 

But I didn't grow up on cherries. The only "cherry" flavor I ever got was through candy or soda.

 

Most of the time, when I eat candy and have a bite of the cherry flavor, I don't get this:

Instead, I taste something like this:

These candies painted a very negative picture on me ever eating cherries until I decided to try them a few months ago.

 

IMO, only Pepto Bismol and NyQuil taste worse than "cherry-flavored" candy. :eww:

What's kinda weird is that I used to have a friend who would say that. I've never understood it, though; I've always liked cherry flavored things.

Cherry is always the best flavor of candy IMO.

 

I don't expect artificial fruit flavoring to taste anything like the real stuff.

I don't eat candy anymore, but when I did I loooved the cherry flavor... classic example of tastes varying massively.

 

I do like the real thing better though, and as far as I remember artificial cherry tastes totally different.
