But Why? 10 Bizarre Candies That Exist In Idaho Gas Stations

We're all about la dolce vita, baby.

For decades, candy's been one of the greatest unsung heroes of our lives. It's been there for us when no one else was. No matter where it is--the fridge, our nightstand drawers, hidden from our kids in the center console of our truck--life is better with a bit of sweetness.

From your emergency chocolate stash to the candy jar at the office, these sweet treats make the dullest days tastier if not more tolerable.

Candy: a sweet status symbol on the playground

Back in the day, there was no denying that name-brand candy in your lunchbox was a flex.

We were too young to realize it then, but it was the shameless bartering and trading of a Snickers or Reese's for a pack of no-name-but-equally-as-badass-candy-cigarettes day in and day out that shaped many a future stocker broker.  

Like O.G. Jansport backpacks, stretchy cloth book covers, and Five Star notebooks, the right candy had the power to make or break our playground status. Still, to this day, whippin' out a king-size KitKat is a power move for Idaho kids.

Not all candy is created equal...

especially the weird $#it you only encounter at gas stations. Mc'Scuse us, but when did no-name, non-descript, poorly foiled candy climb to the top of the candy pyramid? Are Idaho gas stations getting a cut or something?

A recent road trip across the Gem State has us wondering. The candy in the gallery below is an embarrassment to proper road trip snacks and munchies.
