The texture is between candy corn/mellowcreme and...I've never eaten it, but Floam? Is Floam still a thing? It's dense, intense, and has little tiny air pockets that somehow make it *denser*.

Research turns up some interesting factoids:

--They were created in the 1800s, when everything was kind of terrible, and the recipe is "sugar, pork gelatin, corn syrup, food coloring, soy protein, artificial flavors, and pectin"

--They were one of the original penny candies, making them overpriced by a cent

--There are only a few companies still making them because they require very delicate temperature control for consistency...consistency

--The inventor of Circus Peanuts got away smoothly with their crime, unnamed and uncredited in history

[ Alt Text : Tweet from Lina Posting. "Have just observed the existence of what I can Only Describe as the Culver's Transmutation Circle. Attached is an image of all of the locations of Culvers Burgers in denver on google maps ]

So of course like any neurotypical person, of which I totally am (sarcasm), i had to go check. Y'all. I do not want the "Culvers Denver Mass Transmutation Circle Event of 2025" to become the way we learn magic is real.

[ Alt Text : two images. The first one is a screenshot from Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, showing the mass transmutation circle, that covered the entire nation. The second is the SAME transmutation circle drawn over the map of Denver, rotated slightly, with 7 of the 10 points lining up near perfectly with points on the circle. There are dots on those 7 points, and x's on the 3 spots not filled in]
