There's a regional candy manufacturer that does old-fashioned candy that gets sold in wooden barrel halves in local stores. They've got horehound and sassafras and root beer and licorice and a very nice wild cherry. I have to monitor my purchase of those very carefully.
She didn't even touch her pumpkin. It's a freak with no face.

Root beer barrel candy--one of my favorites!!
I've got my g-shaft candy in the drawer, which I'm very slowly working my way through. Bought it in mid-October, so it should last through the winter, I hope.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Can anyone give me a polite way to say, "I've fixed this crap you gave me to the best of my ability, for the second time, and I'm not doing it again; if this isn't good enough, send me a better-quality original."? I'm getting tired of this woman; she's already basically accused me of ignoring her instruction to replace the figure because it didn't look any better so she assumed I hadn't done it, rather than consider she's given me exactly the same piece of shit graphic to work with every time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Licorice candy is like wasabi to me. I can't understand how a human palate can tolerate it. It's not that I dislike it, it's that my GI tract will do everything it can to stop thusly-flavoured food's progress. Plus wasabi hurts the sinuses. Though I will happily chew on licorice root. That's very tasty and satisfying to a mild oral fixation.
Never had horehound or sassafras, hate root beer. Wild cherry--don't think I've ever had the real thing, but the candified essence isn't bad.
A lot of strawberry flavourings make me feel queasy, especially when they're just pink and sugar. My sister and I had a bad experience with strawberry syrup-flavoured milk when we were little, and it lingers.
If I could just rework the candy industry to take out half the sugar, I'd be a happy puppy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
"Given the picture quality of the original, I've improved the graphic as much as possible. If you have a higher quality original, please send it to me. Otherwise, I'm afraid this is what the figure will look like."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Given the picture quality of the original, I've improved the graphic as much as possible. If you have a higher quality original, please send it to me. Otherwise, I'm afraid this is what the figure will look like."
That's good.
You could preface it with, "Dear Polar Bear,"

That should do it, ZenKitty.

Why, thank you. You all brain much better than I do today.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"GIGO, BITCA."
Hahaha. I like this one.
