Do you like Sprees the candy?

I wasn't exactly sure what you meant by sprees and my very first association with this term was... shooting sprees I never heard about such a candy. Anyway, I belong to those people for whom, to use the Polish idiom, "their most favorite sweet is a herring" which means that I prefer more salty and spicy flavors.

I thought you meant shopping sprees at first.

Me too

I've never heard of Spree candy before. But I guess they're better than shooting sprees.

Now that I think about it, I may have eaten Spree candies from bulk vending machines, which were mixed up with Runts candies (which are small crunchy candies shaped like fruits). But thanks to covid I hardly ever see candy dispensing machines anymore. And when I did the price went up to 50 cents at least instead of a quarter.

They might have Spree and Runts with the other bulk candy at the grocery stores, but I never liked them enough to check if they do.

I also thought this thread was about shopping sprees. What are sprees like?

Never heard of it either. Looks like disk shaped Skittles.

I can see how some people might like them but if they're like Skittles then I'm am sadly and with regret well and truly oot

Never heard of them. But there's something about the word 'candy' that makes me feel nauseous. I don't know what that's about.

In the UK we have chocolate and sweets. I'm glad we don't really use the word candy except for candy floss (what Americans call cotton candy). Although maybe I'd eat fewer sweets if we called them candy...

I like treats

And Poles call it literally, sugar cotton wool

Yeah I like that

It is interesting how no one responding to this thread as of yet has ever heard of the candy called Sprees. Or maybe some have seen them before, but they've forgotten about them.

People think this thread is about about either shopping sprees or shooting sprees, not candy

Perhaps asking a mod to edit the thread title to add the word Candy after Sprees would help avoid this confusion for future readers





I remember eating candies that looked like that as a kid but I don't remember the long round container

If you're a French speaker in Canada you might call it "barbe a papa", which literally means "Daddy's Beard".

Shopping sprees can be nice.
Killing sprees... not so much.
