I’m not sure exactly what it was about Dots that made them so appealing. They’re essentially gum drops minus the sugar coating… and what kind of candy is good minus the sugar coating? But if I didn’t get at least one (pathetically small) box of Dots during an outing of trick or treating, I considered it somewhat of a failure. Maybe it was the noise the box made when you shook it.
In fairness, the green ones taste like Windex, but the rest are that wonderful kind of gummy deliciousness that dentists probably dream about at night.
Score: 4.5/5 cavities

The texture of them set them off from gumdrops a bit as well, as I recall. I haven’t had them in ages. Still hit the spice drops every once in a while.

That’s true! They were quite a bit chewier than gumdrops.
