Starbucks. I love them, but everyone else hates them. Or at least they claim to hate them, but the shops always seem busy. ---

Licorice yes. Although I have kind of gone off it since a Licorice Scottie pulled out the filling in my molar. Necco wafers! I thought no one liked them but me. But really I only like the licorice ones. I like any potato salad that isn’t mayo based. Not a mayo fan. Candy corn and peeps, no. Peeps, though, are great for tiny dioramas (like the epic fantasy Lord of the Peeps, which may still be online somewhere) but not actual consumption. ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > Starbucks. I love them, but everyone else hates them. Or at least they claim to hate them, but the shops always seem busy. Second that. I have milky coffee (latte, mocha), so I can’t really tell any apparent difference in coffee taste. Meanwhile all the other stuff, Starbucks does well: beverage serving size is not too small, comfy seats, music not too loud (usually), lights not too bright, wifi normally works… Fancier coffee shops normally get some of the things in that list wrong. Plus you see the big logo and know “somewhere to chill out”. Smaller cafes and even some chains are either hard to notice from a distance or look like a restaurant. ---

I haven’t seen them in years, And, yeah, the licorice flavored ones were best, but I liked the choclate ones, too. I used to like eating candy corn by color, but I can take 'em or leave 'em.

There used to be only two kinds of people in California: those who banked at Bank of America and hated it; those who banked a Security Pacific and hated it. Lots of people talked about switching but were usually warned off by the people who banked at the banks they wanted to switch to. ---

> [@carrps](#): > > Can you even find Necco wafers any more? I haven’t seen them in years Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, plus my big regional grocery chain Hy Vee all carry them, just not up high on the premium eye level shelf spots, but Necco wafers are there. Plus Amazon of course. ---

> [@carrps](#): > > Can you even find Necco wafers any more? The Necco company went out of business in 2018. After that there was about a 2 year period when they weren’t being produced. But their various lines got sold off to other candy companies, and now a company called Spangler Candy is making them once again. Based on a quick Google search it looks like you can buy them online from Amazon and from the Spangler Candies website, and according to Google CVS sells them in my area. ---

I think it is a generational thing~I did not succeed at inculcating it in my children, I detest lima beans. I was an extremely picky eater as a kid, and my folks were always after me to be less picky. Except lima beans. They both confessed after I had dinner at a friend’s house and said I didn’t like the lima beans in that frozen veggie mix that they both hated them. But sit me down with a bag of fresh, raw shell peas and I’m happy as a clam. ---

> [@burpo\_the\_wonder\_mutt](#): > > There are a few other Dopers that like it, too, but most people can’t get past **Uses every part of the pig except the squeal!** Little brother and I got off the train in Altoona a few weeks ago in time for breakfast and ordered a side of scrapple to split between us. We’d both been living in Reading for a couple years as teens and the stuff is hard to find elsewhere. The slice and a half we both got was the right amount and we just didn’t think of what was there besides the cornmeal.
