This is brilliant! I have a chart of the sweets and what some of them do and I'm going to start dissecting them to find out their components as soon as I have a rough idea of the correlation between the types of confectionary and the effect- if there is none then it's a free for all experiment and I haven't had this much fun in ages!

	Brilliant's not the word I would use, but as long as you're enjoying yourself! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You didn't complain. Well, you did, but I don't think you meant it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ooh! Then if you figure out what's in them, we can make more! ALL CANDY ALL THE TIME. Let me know if you need a guinea pig for your first batch. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You foamed at the mouth, didn't you? Which one did you eat? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Just a little! And it really was soap. Every time I tried to talk all that came out of my mouth was bubbles. It's the little rectangular chocolate mints that did it, I think. Those might be my favorites.

The candy does different things to different people though, I know that one for sure. A friend of mine tried the caramels and feet grew out of his head; but when I tried one all I got was a big, bushy mountain-man beard.

I've tried loads of 'em, but I can't remember what else did what. I can start writing them down though! If it would help!

	You would really be willing to let me test things out on you? I hadn't thought of breaking down the components in order to recreate them but if you'd be willing to sample then it might be fun to try and imitate them for recreational purposes... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course! If you make 'em, I'll eat 'em, Sly. It's a promise. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Seconding Harley here. Do you need some help? Or do you need someone to try them? I've already eaten more than 50. So far, I've not detected any pattern. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sh_rl_ck_d 2012-07-05 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	Fifty? That is a rather impressive count, sir. But no correlation between them? What effects have you noticed? What have you experienced? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

67 to be precise. Wait, 68 now. Look at this: feathers all over my arms.

Effects: Very random. Though by the comments on the network I would say that a lot of them are changing the colours of hair or skin. I've been blond for a few minutes and blue-haired. But they were different kinds of candy. So far: no correlation. I can eat the same type of candy twice but it doesn't have the same effect. Maybe it's something in the candies?

Well, there is one pattern. If you are already effected my one piece of candy another doesn't seem to work.

	Have you experienced the same thing as other people? Speaking backwards? Growing a tail? Shrinking? Or is every effect different? Do you think it's dependent on you? Is there anything you particularly wished for that came true? Or loathed... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_padfoot 2012-07-05 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	Let me see: No backwards speaking. Tail: yepp. Shrinking: no (Merlin, that must be weird). I don't know whether it has anything to do with me. But it's nothing I either wished for or loathed. Well, I vomitted once but everyone would find that disgusting, eh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sh_rl_ck_d 2012-07-05 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	Interesting. So there are a lot of variants. This is going to require me to expand my chart. What was your most desirable effect? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_padfoot 2012-07-06 06:43 am UTC (link)
	It made me really really fast once. I did end up running against a door though. Well, but the rest was cool. Oh, no, wait, I had something like really cool vision, when I could see through stuff, especially people's clothes. That was sometimes very desirable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sh_rl_ck_d 2012-07-06 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, well, perhaps I'll leave that recipe off of the list of things to recreate- (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_padfoot 2012-07-06 05:21 pm UTC (link)
	Which one? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	reederica 2012-07-05 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad someone is amused by all this. Okay, I'll admit it's amusing when other people are getting it, but not so much when I decide to try a piece. I'm sure this will keep you busy for a while, but I wish you luck with finding out what you want to know. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You don't know, it might be a good experience. Buck up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	reederica 2012-07-05 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	Are you trying them? Or might just be a pain in the ass. One was enough for me on the whole trying these candy things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sh_rl_ck_d 2012-07-05 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I am! Oh, you have had one? What did you have? What happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	reederica 2012-07-05 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	What have you had? I had a piece of the rock candy and I lost my voice for about 15 minutes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sh_rl_ck_d 2012-07-05 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	Humbugs, various other things. I've experienced some disorientation, my hair grew slightly, I spoke fluent Gaelic for twenty minutes and then laughed uncontrollably. Several other things. It's been pleasant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like you've been all over the map with things that could happen to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's important for research. (Reply to this) (Parent)
