Best statement: “nothing can ever really be a dud if it involves chocolate and caramel”.

a great movie treat as they are best eaten slowly and savored.. for the flavor of course.. and also to spare ones dental work..

Kisses were a manufacturing mistake too. I learned that on the tour of the Hershey plant in Oakdale, Northern California before they moved to Mexico

They sure don't taste like they used to. Now the chocolate covering is almost wax-like.

Does anyone remember sugar daddys? It seemed like you were getting your teeth pulled out while eating them but that didn’t stop me

But none compare to the Rocky Mountain Company "Sea Salted Caramels". Others do come close though. Would enjoy hearing others experiences.

The name (duds) stuck BECAUSE nothing of chocolate and caramel can be a dud? That makes no sense.

If I am honest, I had no idea the answer was Milk Dud's. With that said, I have always been of the belief that some of the best things come from issues!! Thank you to the creator of this question!!

I loved Milk Duds, but haven't eaten them in years. Here's a warning: if you have a crown (or multiple crowns) in your mouth, don't eat them. They will pull out a crown faster than any dentist can! But you'll get to see your dentist soon.

Had to, sadly, give up Milk Duds when I lost a filling.
