I used to like these when I was a kid. Now, they don't seem as appealing.

Anyway, figured somebody here may have liked (or still like) them too.

I have never tried them because they kind of grossed me out. I don't know, they kind of reminded me of cat poo.

My great aunt (now deceased) LOVED circus peanuts. Her granddaughter-in-law did some research and found a recipe for a cake made out of them - she baked it for my aunt's 90th. My aunt was thrilled, but the younger generation was kind of grossed out - those things are just nasty!

Yes, disgusting. You'd have to be at least 90 with no taste buds left to eat a cake made out of them.

I kind of liked them when I was a kid. Now they taste like Tang-flavored Styrofoam to me.

I've known about these since I was a kid but never tried them. I like s'mores and mini marshmallows in my hot chocolate but don't care for marshmallow candies like these or Hostess Snoballs. That's just too much marshmallow at once.

I love them!!! Hubby thinks they taste gross. I have not had them in about 5 years.

I used to like them, but haven't had them in many years. Hey--I even liked Peeps, too. Don't judge.
