    Do you eat them? Do you stick with peppermint or try the other flavors too?

    I did as a kid, never a lot of them, we only got 1 box a year for the tree. In more recent years I haven't eaten them much, and this year we got 4 boxes of Brachs candy canes to tie to the cookie bags, and they're bigger than the others we got before, and look a lot better, and they taste a lot better too.

    One year we had some I guess it was Hershey, had chocolate in with them, NOT a good idea. I don't know if I've ever tried the watermelon ones but I plan to get a box of the rainbow cherry ones to try. You really gotta wonder how these things ever caught on.

    I stopped eating them long before they started making them in flavors other than peppermint.

    I like the peppermint ones, but I don't eat the ones on the tree, because they get used year after year and many have survived being mauled by 2 different cats.

    I have 'em from time to time. I typically only get the peppermint ones but I'm not opposed to the others. So if I get them, I'll give 'em a try.

    I dont like peppermint. I LOVE fruity candy canes though. I recently got spree candy canes, and DAMN they are good!

    I can largely take or leave them.

    I don't eat them now, and rarely did as a kid.
