I've found a website where a few wackos go out and find mysterious, weird candies and try them. Some of these candies have wound up being banned by the US Food and Drug Administration for various reasons. I found the site interesting, if not a bit over-the-top.

Have any of our Dutch members seen or tried the Dubbel Zout?

Well I remember giving my wife one of those sour bombs in sour apple flavour, she spit it out right away. So I figured why not test my theory that dogs can make facial expressions. The dog ate the whole thing while giving puckering face expression.
When a fox kills your chickens, do you kill the pigs for seeing what happened? No you go out and hunt the fox.

Those are nasty, i'd never eat one of those
They are very common, I like them. I could send you a bag if you want to try themOriginally Posted by [b
When i was in amsterdam last we got a bag of 7 packs of sweets, which now i think may have been dog or cat sweets. Some of it was bad, very bad. Like those fish shaped salty licorice things, JESUS why do people eat thoseQuote[/b] (Fragony @ July 07 2004,06:59)]They are very common, I like them. I could send you a bag if you want to try themthey are wrong in every way imaginable. The majority of the packets had monkey, pig, cat, and can't remember shapes and tasted OK but the 3 licorice (and i like licorice) packs were thrown as hard and far as possible. Do you recognise the sweets Frag?
Aye sir I recognise them. The fish is 'zaanse drop' and I like those as wellThe animal shaped are called 'boerderijdrop'. You blasted foreigners just don't apreciate good candy ^^
I noted that licorice candy seems to be very popular in the Netherlands.
...reminds me of the appelbollen I always eat in Utrecht *drools*
I remember visiting that site a while back and getting a good laugh. You reminded me about it. So, the bad candy website is still around, eh?
