    My favorite color is green, and I’ve been arbitrarily favoring green candies my entire life. I have had like 2 bags of candy EVER that had more green than any other flavor. It is always like this. Too many green haters out there

    The kiwi ones have little poppy(?) seeds in them mimicking the seeds in an actual kiwi. I’m not a fan.

    Not sure if that’s OT, but what stops such companies from packing with paper? All this plastic is just… 😦

        Waxed paper, maybe? There has to be something better than this.

          Some candy comes in waxed paper, but wax is also a petroleum product so…

            Yeah, I guess if you wanted to reduce waste you could supply it as logs that get cut off from? That way there is at least less plastic per piece

              The “wanting” seems to be the issue. Both with the consumer and the producer.

              Ideas for alternatives

              As long as we buy and companies sell, change will be extremely slow. Probably too slow.

    Write the manufacturer and complain (in a polite manner). They’ll try to make it right in some way.

    As someone you has a general dislike of “red” flavors, this really hits me.

    I’m mildly annoyed that the columns of sweets are not top- or bottom-justified, which would make them look like a bar chart.
