    Phase-Order Candy Prism.

    Picture a small edible prism made of ultra-thin layers of sugar glass and gelatinized starch, but the trick is in the internal structure of each layer contains flavor “micro-reservoirs” embedded in lipid membranes tuned to dissolve at different osmotic thresholds, not time.

    I don’t know other than to say that we need more savory candies for those of us who aren’t into sweets. And crackers don’t count.

    y’all’re going about this all wrong, trying to come up with things that sound gross. the real strategy is to describe something you wish existed but doesn’t. then if someone points out that it does, you “lose” by finding out about a food you would really like but were unaware of.

    anyway, mine is coffee chocolate chip walnut ice cream (even though apparently op says new ice cream flavors don’t count). so if anyone knows where I can buy coffee chocolate chip walnut ice cream, come own me so hard, I’ll be devastated

    I’m gonna shred some vegan chocolate and put it with tomato sauce on a lightly toasted flat dough, then stick it in the oven. Pizza with chocolate instead of cheese.

    Bitter Boys. Think Sour Patch kids, but instead of being coated in sour powder, it’s extreme bitterness.

        I’ll take it, I guess. I was just trying to think of something so bad nobody would ever make it.

          Some liquorice definitely counts as bitter to me

          something so bad nobody would ever make it.

          If it’s bad, doesn’t it stop being candy? Candy has a half-life, decaying into just “food” by the time nobody regards it as a treat - something invented to be unenjoyable can be considered to decay completely in less than a second, from the moment it gets off production line.

            Completely disagree. Show me an example of “candy” becoming “food”. The definition of candy is basically a concentrated sugar product. Lots of people hate black licorice, but that doesnt make it not-candy.

    • If we are allowed to count things that aren’t sold as candy, this technically does exist. They sell bitterants for various things. Like to stop a child sucking their thumb or discourage pets from chewing/eating something.

    sulfur hexafluoride poprocks.

    There’s a good chance they’ll still pop and sizzle a little bit, but the gas they release will cause your voice to lower.

    I’m thinking a puff pastry roll filled with a minty sweet creamy filling and chocolate chips. That shit would be bomb, tell me it exists already so I can get some!

      I don’t think that already exists, but it seems like all you’d have to do is mash up some peppermint patties and put it into the center of a cinnamon roll since cinnamon.

      Also, to me, it kind of sounds disgusting.
