"Some of them are even hard to find commercially in Hawaii, you need to go to the reef and pick it yourself. Back in my college days we used to go to the beach in the middle of the night, drink a few beers and wake up with the sun. Depending on the tide there would often be lots of limu along the shore and we would spend some time collecting it. Like most things, it tastes so much better fresh picked." – KaimukiMan on limu, or Hawaiian edible algae

"Another dangerous once-a-year must-have: Cherry Juju Hearts. I think it's a texture thing. Unless I'm mistaken, it's the only candy of its kind and only available once a year." – 60s Girl on limited-edition candy

"My favorite was the Tortilla Lime ... it has crunch from tortilla bits, and the salty, lime flavors work really well with the dark chocolate. The Ramen Noodle was okay—it was dark chocolate with crunchy pieces of plain ramen ... not very exciting. I also had the French Toast, which had some crunchy pieces (of bread?), with cinnamon and syrup flavors. I emphasize syrup, because the flavor was more like Aunt Jemima and not at all like maple syrup. It was pretty good, but I think it would have been really wonderful if it had a real maple flavor to it." – teemo on Komforte Chockolates' unusual flavors
