What candy represents the BSC members?

[anzuhana]

Okay, if each BSC member was a piece of candy, what candy would they be?

[sparklymouse]

Mary Anne, a sour patch kid. I just think of the commercial where one chops off a girl's pigtail and then hugs her leg. Multiple personalities.

Claudia, a bag of Skittles. She's the whole rainbow of colors.

Jessi, black licorice. Because, you know.

Stacey, something sugar-free that tastes like glue. (Not a fan of diabetic candy.)

Kristy, a Snickers bar. It seems like the all-American candy bar.

Mallory, a marshmallow peep. They look like they are wearing glitter.

Dawn would commit suicide first.

Abby, I don't know.

Bonus, Janine, a box of Nerds.

Mary Anne - hershey's kiss.
Kristy - snickers.
Claudia - skittles.
Stacey - m&m's.
Abby - twix.
Mallory - peanut butter cup.
Jessi - licorice.
Dawn - life savers.

Any reasons for your choices, anzuhana?

[anzuhana]

Well, for Mary Anne, it was supposedly because the candy supposedly looks like a kiss. For Abby, it was because I could see her liking the line "It's all in the mix." For Kristy I chose snickers because she's always on the go. I chose life savors for Dawn because they seemed the lesser of two evils.

Skittles for Claudia because you can taste the rainbow and because they're of various colors (though m&m's are of various colors, as well). I picked m&m's because they somehow fit Stacey. I' m not sure why I picked peanut butter cup for Mallory and licorice for Jessi.

Kristy, besides Snickers, I could see Rolo's. My Grandma, the candy-a-holic, used to buy these all the time because the rolls were purse sized but had more to them than lifesavers. Back to Kristy, , from my memory of Rollo's, they are chewy milk chocolate (tough in a small package) yet have a sweet (good) "heart" at their core--sort of like Kristy.

MA, how about gummy bears? They might appear comforting but once you have had a few they have a water-y, not-so-good (or sweet) taste to them.

Claudia, Skittles all the way, Sparklymouse. No one, except maybe MA in temperament, literally wears all the colors of the rainbow in mixed-up, crazy fashion quite like Claud.

Stacey, I remember her telling Kristy, Claudia, and MA, how she and Laine used to freeze Milky Way Bars as kids. The candy might work for her because while "simple"like a Three Musketeers (aren't they similar) MW's have the contrasting caramel. I could see it as the candy equivalent of Stacey wearing black and white or the hippest yet clean-line looking of clothes.

Dawn, I could see liking the hard, round circular candy (ball shaped). You know, the ones with no or little good taste? Nothing "sweet" about them yet they leave their imprint.

Abby, I really don't know. Oh wait, yes I do. Wasn't their a type of gum (sort of like Nerds in size) that was supposed to shoot off sparks? If so, that'd be for Abby.

Mal, m and m's. With her rotten "luck" and probable dislike by Ann and Co, she (basically/tried to) stay a good person, who could be counted on.

Jessi, is the hardest for me to choose because I never felt like I "knew" much about her. She was a dancer, a baby-sitter to end all baby-sitters (or so she thought), sometimes thought the worst of her bff Mal, and a relative newbie even after 13 years to Stoneybrook. I think her character had less dimension at times than MA or Dawn perhaps because other than her few blow-ups at Mal, Jessi was basically even-keeled.

Abby, I really don't know. Oh wait, yes I do. Wasn't their a type of gum (sort of like Nerds in size) that was supposed to shoot off sparks? If so, that'd be for Abby.

Pop rocks? I don't think those were gum, so maybe we're thinking of two different things...

[anzuhana]

I looked on wikipedia and it says that pop rocks is a carbonated candy and tha it differs from typical hard candy in that it creates a fizzy reaction when it dissolves in one's mouth.

Here's a link in case you're interested: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_Rocks

Those images look spark-y to me, so maybe that was it. I have no idea of what I'm thinking of really was gum or not just for some reason thought it might have been. I chose Abby for the "idea" of the candy for her tendency to not so kindly shoot off at people in the form of the impersonations and hey for how she treated Erin, too.

[u4me]

Jessi would be a Hershey bar, purely because it's dark and so is she. I guess she could also be Twizzlers, because they're long and lean and twisty.

Kristy would be Snickers because I think Snickers are probably the leading candy bar and Kristy is always the leader. Or she could be 100 Grand because she's loaded (well, Watson is).

I have no reason for this, but Claudia would be a Reese Cup. Ooh - or she could be airheads!

Mallory would be a Butterfinger because she could be considered a klutz (get it? Butter fingers?).

Stacey would be something a little healthier, like gummi lifesavors (I love those!).

Abby could be Goobers because that name makes me laugh and so does Abby.

Mary Anne could be M&Ms. They're kind of a staple and everyone likes them.

Dawn... Hm. Maybe she should be the Snickers because they're somewhat healthy. Well, I mean that as based on other candies, they have more good-for-you stuff because of the peanuts. Or maybe a Payday?
