We had to put Taylor Swift's favourite candy to the test..
If you know, you know. Squashies have been all the rave and they aren’t just candy — they’re a texture thing, a flavour thing, and a “why are all the swifties going crazy for them?” thing. Everyone has a favourite combo, but no one can agree on which Squashies actually deserve the top spot or if they’re actually worth the hype!
So we put the debate to the test. Over five days, we tasted our way through fan favourites, nostalgic Drumstick flavours, and bold new combos against each other until only one flavour came out on top. No bias Just honest reactions and very strong opinions.
