How in the world did licorice move on to round two?

[Rain Man]

My votes:

Peanut Butter M&Ms over Gumdrops - One of the best candies ever against gelatinous sugar topped with sugar? Give me the PBMM's 100 times out of 100. PBMM's are the high point of western candy civilization.

Reese's Nutrageous over Cotton Candy - I don't know much about the Nutrageous, but I'm not four years old so I'll vote for it.

M&Ms Dark Chocolate over Gourmet Black Licorice. MMDC over Russian Roulette in a North Vietnamese POW camp over Gourmet Black Licorice.

Hershey's Special Dark over 3 Musketeers. As mentioned in Round 1, 3 Musketeers doesn't fulfill it's candy bar promise. It's too light and not chewy enough. Hershey's Special Dark is a good product that melts in my American mouth.

Its Round 1 opponent was non-gourmet black licorice. True story.

Oh yes, I remember now.

At least CP went classy and advanced the gourmet option.

It's who we are.

Voted Special Dark as well, but a 3/4 frozen Three Musketeers is quite good.

How many minutes in the freezer gets you to 3/4 frozen? Or are you saying that you eat 1/4 of it and then put the rest in the freezer?

[Pitt Gorilla]

Insanely weak heat.

We seem to be having a bunch of shitty entries facing off against each other allowing too much crap to move into the next rounds while good stuff is knocking out other good stuff.

Agreed.

Not as high on PBM&Ms as you, but they're infinitely better than gum drops.

Totally meh on cotton candy. The wife adores it. I don't get it.

Anything over licorice.

I do enjoy 3 Musketeers, but I do tend to agree it over promises and under delivers. And dark chocolate is good.

Sounds like a complaint about the NFC East.

Our contest is much sweeter than the NFC East.

Goodbye licorice.

Goodbye licorice.

Somewhere Skip Towns weeps silently in his rocking chair whilst lurking...slowly handing his grandson a Werthers Original.

Good. Fuck licorice. Rain Man should have pitted every licorice candy up against a heavyweight in round 1.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Rain man is trolling us with these matchups....hard

That's kind of what I thought too.

Heat 13: Peanut Butter M&Ms versus Gumdrops

I'm not a fan of gumdrops, so I'll go with PB M&Ms.

Heat 14: Cotton Candy versus Reese's Nutrageous

No contest here. I've never liked cotton candy.

Heat 15: M&Ms Dark Chocolate versus Gourmet Black Licorice

I despise black licorice and adding the "gourmet" to the name doesn't fool me. I've never had M&Ms Dark Chocolate, but unless it tastes like black licorice, it's a winner by a mile.

Heat 16: 3 Musketeers versus Hershey's Special Dark

Two good, but not great candy bars. I'll take the dark chocolate.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

How do 9 people on Earth, let alone in this thread, think gumdrops are better than peanut butter M&Ms?

We may have inadvertently figured out how many people on this thread have severe peanut allergies. That's the only possible explanation I can think of.

[Rain Man]

Peanut Butter M&Ms, Reese's Nutrageous, M&Ms Dark Chocolate, and 3 Musketeers move on.

The Musketeers rallied to a tough win there.
