> [@Dioptre](#): > > Musk sticks? Most people outside of Australia don’t even know Musk is a flavor, let alone try to imitate it … What I came in to post. Horrible stuff, but my Mum loves them. On a similar note, Boy From Mars loves these violet-flavoured sweets which we can only get in Italy. Even more revolting that the musk ones, if that’s possible. They are more gummy than the Parma Violets, but I suspect the flavour could be the same. What about [Pineapple Lumps](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineapple_Lumps)? ---

I know Kit Kats per se won’t qualify, but Japan has an amazingly unique variety. I’ve tried the wasabi-flavor (really), which a friend brought back, and they’re actually good. I know they have pancake-flavored and others. This seems like a good place to mention it. ---

> [@Lute Skywatcher](#): > > [Idaho Spud](http://www.idahospud.com/candy-idaho-spud-bar.php)? Yes, it goes well with a Chick-o-Stick, and brings me back to my childhood. As far as my mother was concerned, serving the two together for dinner was fulfillment of her parental duty to provide a well-rounded meal. ---

Walnut Whip? > **[Walnut Whip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walnut_Whip)** > > A Walnut Whip is a whirl-shaped cone of milk chocolate with a whipped vanilla fondant filling, topped with a half-walnut. > Launched in 1910 by Duncan's of Edinburgh, Walnut Whip is Nestlé Rowntree's oldest current brand. Over one million walnuts, most of them imported from China and India, are used every week in the manufacture of Walnut Whips at Halifax, West Yorkshire.\[citation needed\] Nestlé claim that almost one Walnut Whip is eaten every two seconds in the UK. > Originally manufactured by Dun... I see it’s Rowntrees oldest brand ---

[http://cheekypinktulip.blogspot.co.uk/2011\_09\_01\_archive.html](http://cheekypinktulip.blogspot.co.uk/2011_09_01_archive.html) \*Has the idea of chocolate-covered ants or chicken and chocolate sauce ever put you off the good stuff? Well, in the early days of chocolate bars, when they were first unleashed on the nation in the 1920s, they couldn’t wait to cover things with chocolate. One such candy bar was the Vegetable Sandwich, which, as you may have guessed was made of chocolate covered vegetables. It’s biggest selling point? 'The solemn assurance that ‘it will not constipate’. It contained cabbage, celery, peppers and tomatoes. YUM! \* ---

> [@bouv](#): > > That has to be one of the worst names for candy I have ever seen. > > Musk Stick? _ **MUSK?!** _ You want people to associate your candy with a species of large rodent, and old men with hairy chests and gold chains?\* > > \*I hear the word “musk,” and I think of the way old men with hairy chests and gold chains smell…it’s like they all buy the same cologne at the Old Men with Hairy Chests and Gold Chains Store. Probably Brut, or the “classic” (ie, nostril-burning) Old Spice. > > Edit: For content, is there anything else like an Abba-Zabba? Have you ever smelled the fragrance Pink Musk? That’s the flavour of musk sticks. It’s not just a clever name. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-there-any-truly-unique-snacks-candy-chocolates/641288.md?page=4)
