    Au contraire! I’m the one pretending NOT to like Werther’s so my girlfriend doesn’t get worried every time I pass the local nursing home.

    Werther’s makes soft chocolate-/caramel-based sweets, too. They’re awesome! Bet you can’t get those in the US tho, lol

      And now they also make soft caramel filled with other things like cookies, berries and brownies. And the berry ones are quite nice

      I’ve seen those in the US. At least the caramel ones, not sure about chocolate. I tend to favor gummy bears so I’m not up on the non-technicolor candy market.

      The best thing they make imho is the popcorn. It’s like regular popcorn that someone poured the same weight in melted werthers originals over.

    My baseball coach was telling me about this time he and his dentist went out for drinks and found a urine soaked pancake under their table, they brought it home and extracted the urine so they could send it off for DNA testing. Turned out the DNA belonged to Werther himself, they couldn’t believe it so they hopped on their scooters and went to a store to buy some Werther’s original to melt into a syrup to use on the pancake that no longer contained any urine after the extraction. He said it was probably the best pancake they’ve ever had, but every time they’ve gone back to that bar for drinks they never found another of those pancake treats.

        Some new novelty account, has been showing up in popular threads just posting nonsense. Normally I’d assume it’s some bot, but bots these days are better about sounding coherent.

          Novelty bot perhaps? I’ll get bored soon enough and fade into obscurity. But for now, I’ll leave you with this recipe for cigarette gumbo:

          Ingredients:

          -64 lbs plain cigarettes

          -2lbs menthol cigarettes

          -several car batteries

          -your local lake

          Directions:

          1. Put everything in the lake on a hot sunny day
          2. Let sit for 44 hours
          3. Scoop into bowls
          4. Share with the community

            Man, your account’s a year old and you’ve only just now started posting odd non-sequituers.

            Why the sudden change? Everything ok? Lemmy’s fairly welcoming, not like you’re going to get dunked on for making more normal comments.

              Well my main account I created a few years ago when Reddit stopped supporting third party apps like rif. Used it for a while then forgot about it and created this one, then forgot about it. Now I’m just having a bit of fun if you catch my drift.
