Kind of sounds awesome. Bitter sweets are special

I'll take it, I guess. I was just trying to think of something so bad nobody would ever make it.

Some liquorice definitely counts as bitter to me

something so bad nobody would ever make it.

If it's bad, doesn't it stop being candy? Candy has a half-life, decaying into just "food" by the time nobody regards it as a treat - something invented to be unenjoyable can be considered to decay completely in less than a second, from the moment it gets off production line.

Completely disagree. Show me an example of "candy" becoming "food". The definition of candy is basically a concentrated sugar product. Lots of people hate black licorice, but that doesnt make it not-candy.

Semi-relevant: I think that pancakes (not crepes) and waffles should be considered dessert, but here people eat them as the main course or part of the main course. I don't know if they were ever considered dessert though.

Also semi-relevant: fruit. Multiple kinds chopped in a bowl? Dessert. One whole singular item? A healthy snack/food item.
