My wife once drove 2 hours to buy these based on a rumour that a store had them, I'd never heard of them. Her family loves them.

Sad to see them go, a lot of modern candy is just way too sweet for my palate these days.

These are as sweet, or more so. Wish they were less personally

Haha 2 hours is crazy, they're always at Dollarama

I did not know that. She was trying to track them down for weeks with no luck

So sad, yet so delicious.

I've never met someone in real life who was born after World War 2 who liked these, and I don't think I've seen anyone eat one since 2000.

Some people obviously love them, but not that many. The "severed testicle soaking in bloody-cum" art on the box isn't really drawing new people in.

I'm 35, and these are my favorite guilty pleasure chocolate.

They are horrible for you, but god I love them

I'm one of the unicorns. I'm a millennial, and they are (were) my favourite confectionary chocolate. I think my sister may like them as well, but everyone else I know detests them. I'm sad to see them go, but I know that I'm not buying enough to keep them in business by myself.

I'd eat these if they didn't have milk in them.

Hopefully candy makers will get a clue one day soon that incorporating as many unnecessary allergens as possible in a single product is bad for business.
