Because I just found some gummy worms in the pantry and had forgotten how damn good they taste.

FRUIT SLICE goddamnit, the kind that're tossed in crunchy sugar. Best of all gummis.
The official ranking is grapefruit (if you're lucky) > orange > lemon > lime > cherry > grape > any other bullshit flavors like mint, ffs.

Presently I'm fondest of Swedish Fish but I think, like a lot of things that I find myself drawn to these days, it probably has more to do with the fact that there are no Swedish Fish here and therefore I want them all the more than the actual quality of the candy itself.

I have a soft spot (heh) for Sour Patch Kids, but I like a lot of gummi candy. The Haribo fizzy cola (gummi cola with sour powder) are much better than the standard gummi cola, and harder to find.
I am particularly fond of most of the Sunkist Fruit Gems except for the terrible berry one. The grapefruit is the best. I don't know why grapefruit candy is usually the best.

Fruit slices, but anything from Albanese after that.

I submit Haribo "Sour" Gummi Bears, which are more delightfully tart than the astringent sour of Sour Patch Kids, but still have that crunchy sugar coating.

My issue with fruit slices is the volume to surface area ratio. There needs to be less filling and more crunchy sugar coating. If they were about twice as small I'd enjoy them more. |

I dig gummy candies, especially sour varieties, and the best of them are Sour Jacks. They're closest to Sour Patch Kids, but better in every way. You used to be able to buy them at Blockbuster, which is where I discovered them. Nowadays I'm resigned to the internet for my fix.

So far, two proven ways to attract the worm: 1. Walking without rhythm. 2. Whatever this guy is doing. |

Reading the answers other people have given here I'm realizing that I seem to like all of the (non-sour) gummi candies. Fruit slices! Sunkist gems! Those chunkier fruit things songstarliner posted! Three-foot gummi worms! I will fellate them all! But the correct answer is that Albanese gummis are the best, and the best of all Albanese gummis are the gummi sharks. |

I'm eating some Sour Patch Kids jellybeans right now. They're not as sour as the real candy, and it's a very different texture, but I kind of like them, which means this will be the only year they are available and I will spend the rest of my life dreaming of them, like I do for other long lost candies of my youth.

I'm with liebkartoffel ... Albanese are overrated. Vastly overrated in fact. For real, I'd never even heard of Albanese until the Food Board. So I took I peek at the candy aisle one day and sure enough, there they were: Albanese Gummi Bears ... ... ... I bought a bag ... ... ... they're exactly the same as other gummi bears. Not at all better. Not at all.
If you are a human living right now who believe that Albanese products are better than others ... well, I think you're wrong.

Well, all the more Albanese gummi products for me! SO THERE! ::hugs gummi sharks close, and refuses to share:: (But seriously, Albanese are demonstrably so much not the same as, say, Haribo. They're not even shaped the same! I think you've been eating too many hard, sour, chalky candies, man...) |

You attract the great worm Shai-Hulud by walking in rhythm - enjoy being swallowed alive!

I'm with liebkartoffel ... Albanese are overrated. Vastly overrated in fact. I'm so out of it I initially thought everyone was talking about gummy candy from Albania. I was thinking "Really? They have somehow mastered the art of gummy over there?" So I guess it's a name brand, I'll have to try them some day. |

You know, the gummi candy thread turned into the unpopular opinions thread so gradually, I didn't even notice.

I ate a bag of these today because they really are a top tier sweet but we have different flavours so my ranking is:
Blackberry > Strawberry > Pineapple > Orange > Lemon > LimeFuckOffLime
