Circus Peanuts - Sugary delight or gasket material?
I vote for gasket material.

Does anyone really eat these things?

4. Blech
I can't stand them. If adults ever intended to invent "candy" to put kids right off it, then Circus Peanuts are surely it.

Circus Peanuts: :puke:

9. GM foods are frankenfoods;
Peeps, Twinkies, and Circus Peanuts are Zombi Foods, created by the worst rites available in Vodun.

11. Worst candy ever made.
However, you don't see them much (at least in my area). I guess the people who like them are dying off.

15. I tried googling for a good picture
But my admin here at work apparently thinks that Circus Peanuts sites are innapropriate to view.
:)
Either that or the pics were too small to post.

Sorry Capn - can anyone else post a pic?

21. I like 'em, but it's more a matter of nostalgia for childhood
but then, I used to eat 10X sugar by the tablespoonful as a kid, so I might not be too close to the center of the sweet tooth bell curve.
