Growing up I was exposed to a lot of
different candies, some of which no longer exist for social, health,
or political reasons. I was watching a bunch of food clips from
Buzzfeed (and have now developed a crush on a few of the women on
there) and it got me to thinking about the strange Mexican candy I
ate when I was a young boy. These are five of the ones that I managed
to not only eat consistently but despite all the lead and asshole
destroying ingredients managed to survive.
Limon. Guess the ingredients of this
one. If you said salt, then you are correct! Well, with some lime
flavoring. With more salt. Till this day I'm not sure what was the
purpose of eating these. And I would eat packs and packs of these.
Licking them off my filthy 1980's kid hands or when I felt like
shortening my lifespan I would just dump the whole packet into my
mouth. My heart rate would speed up, my mouth would go dry, I'd
clutch my chest. This candy gave you all the side effects of a major
organ failing yet I would keep on eating it. Sometimes I would mix
the yellow and green packets together, raise one to the sky, and
challenge god to a duel. Your move, holy man. There were some kids
that would mix this with sugar. I forget what we used to call those
kids. Oh, that's right. Pussies. You eat your lime salt straight or
get the fuck out of my neighborhood!
