That shit is disgusting. I like butterscotch, mostly on ice cream. I LOVE butterscotch, and i'm Nothing wrong with butterscotch, now ribbon candy Hard candy, because of the FAR longer time it takes to eat it, [suck on it VS the bite, chew swallow of soft candy] is financially far cheaper and the pleasure and taste lasts longer. My farts tend to smell like butterscotch Quoted: My farts tend to smell like butterscotch You need to try the real thing.
My wife makes homemade hard candies; the difference between homemade and store-bought is just as pronounced as the difference between home-baked bread and the dreck sold as Wonder Bread. It takes a bit of experience to get the times and temperatures dialed in for perfect results.
The oldsters in my family dissed butterscotch. We were butterrum folks. I have always been a fan of the butterscotch pudding. Butterscotch is old people candy?
Butterscotch topping on ice cream is fantastic. And I'm not that old I'm 21 and love butterscotch. I get made fun of for eating Werther's. Are those those yellow candies I am beginning to get old and I am half way there.
I desire Scotch! Quoted: It's ok at best. Quoted: I actually look forward to being old for this very reason. Quoted: Quoted: It's ok at best. I dont know, I think they like jello a lot too. Quoted: Magically Delicious. I love butterscotch and I'm a young'un. I've loved butterscotch all my life. It's disappointing to find out that it contains neither butter nor scotch.
I was OK to find out the real ingredients of butterfingers though. As you age, the sense of smell and taste tend to fall by the wayside , giving up on your rickety frame and jumping ship before they go down with you. Smell goes much more quickly than taste, but since the two are so closely linked, and by virtue of the fact that smells interact with receptor cells to help you fully understand the actual taste of what you just ate, when they leave you all you have left is a basic understanding of the taste of sweet, salty, sour and bitter.
Elderly people tend to choose sweet as the taste of choice, since it's the most pleasant, and also because scientific evidence indicates old people with pants full of salt licks are often assaulted by deer and left confused and disheveled at local malls. It's interesting to note that old people driving skills bare a striking resemblance to objects approaching the speed of light.
Physics tells us that the closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time goes until, presumably, time would hit a dead stop. Likewise, the older people get, the closer their driving speed gets to being slow as shit. We can theorize that the oldest human in the world, if placed behind the wheel of a car, would somehow be able to burn an entire tank of gas whilst going absolutely nowhere.
This sad state of affairs is actually caused by a delightful stew of decrepitude faced by all of us as we age. From the top down, elderly drivers get to experience a variety of ills like glaucoma and macular degeneration which cause eyesight to degrade; thus limiting their ability to gauge what's coming on the road ahead. Hearing loss further kicks you in your old guy crotch by taking out another sense necessary for drivers to be fully aware of what's going on.
Ignoring the road would be dangerous if they were actually moving. But worst of all, the rest of the human body follows suit. Age takes its toll on the muscles and nervous system, causing a lack of flexibility and slower reaction times. Knowing your reactions are slower makes it seem like the outside world is going terrifyingly fast.
Thus your grandfather is now deathly afraid to go above 30 mph, knowing he can't see or hear what's ahead or behind him and can't get out of the way fast enough even if he could. So when you're late for work and get stuck behind one of these guys, and swear out loud that you'll never be a slow driving, high pants-wearing, hard candy-sucking Yoda, just remember: at your age, that's what they said, too.

Then you've been sucked into a marketing group that is very much for a very senior demographic who enjoy popping their frozen dinners into the microwave several times a week! If you were a child of the '90s, then you probably remember the sentimental commercial where a grandfather offered his grandson a Werther's candy.
It was meant to show how the different generations could pass down their love of caramel candy to each other. We'll admit it; that's a nice sentiment and having a bowl in your house as an ode to your grandparents is pretty darn sweet. But if you start carrying the candies around in your pocket, we're gonna call you out for being old.
Jell-O has a rep for being a dessert loved by babies and older people because, well, neither usually have very many teeth.
And unless you're adding vodka and making yours in a shot glass, it's not exactly a well-received dessert in younger circles. Has anyone ever once thought about a Jell-O mold with fruit trapped inside and suddenly had a craving? Fun fact: Jell-O became very popular when the baby boomers were born because those young mothers were looking for quick, easy to prepare food.
And what is easier than boiling water and adding powder? If you're bringing black licorice to snack on at the movies because the strawberry Twizzlers just don't do it for you then you have some old soul taste buds—and you're also onto something. Licorice actually helps treat things like stomach ulcers, heartburn, colic, and chronic gastritis. It can even help with ailments like a sore throat, bronchitis, cough, and infections caused by bacteria or viruses. So basically, your love of black licorice can help cure a lot of "old people" ailments!

Probably not. But my mom, however, makes her baked apples covered with a can of diet black cherry soda and it's amazing—and takes me back to my childhood! But really, have you ever been offered an apple any other way than sliced? Eggs are one of the original superfoods.
Loaded with protein, vitamins, and good fats, an egg is great for breakfast or as a snack. And boiled eggs are a great option because—unlike scrambled or fried eggs—you don't need to anything other than water to cook 'em.
But soft boiled just makes us think of dentures and sensitive teeth…. This shortbread cookie debuted in , and quite honestly, it's very rare that I have ever been offered these tasty treats anywhere but the home of an older relative. Cottage cheese is one of those foods that you either love or you hate. And many people who I have talked to don't love it because it reminds them of going over to a great aunt's house for lunch as a kid and being served a heaping bowl of cottage cheese—maybe with a few peaches mixed in for good measure.
There are even a few younger staffers on the Eat This, Not That! If all-you-can-eat fried food at the Golden Corral or salad, flatbreads, and unlimited frozen yogurt at Sweet Tomatoes are more your speed than the cool food halls popping up through the country, then just take a look at the crowd the next time you go. Better yet, check the time you're there—are you there for the early bird dinner rush?
I remember going to the diner with my grandparents as a child and they would always end the meal by asking for the waitress to retrieve for them half a grapefruit covered in saran wrap and topped with a maraschino cherry from the dessert case.
They would then douse it in sugar to cut the bitterness and voila—meal complete. Truth is, grapefruit is an amazing addition to your diet and has been proven to help with weight loss and can curb your appetite.
