Maybe it's a "North" thing... Speaking of which, I've been wanting a candy cigarette for forever and picked a pack up in Michigan while I was visiting... and Eww. To me, a candy cig is a chalky/powdery texture w/ a sweet vanilla flavor, slightly minty. This crap was almost flavorless and when I bit into it... it wasn't crunchy... for lack of a better word.. Or crisp, I guess. Similar to when you bite into celery that's going bad. It's flimsy, almost rubbery. That's what this candy was. I was so disappointed.... and I STILL want a legit candy cigarette. LoL
