🍭 Sweet & Strange
A Go Cybernaut Collaboration for Candy Month
“What we crave tells its own kind of story.”
Some sweets make us laugh.
Some take us home.
Others… make us pause and ask: What even is this?
For Candy Month, we asked a few of our Cybernauts to unwrap a memory—of a favorite treat, a strange flavor, or the way candy carries meaning through time. The result? A wild, wonderful mix of nostalgia, delight, and the sweet taste of something more.
🍬 Lani Cruz – Social Media Manager
Sweet: White Rabbit Creamy Candy
“My aunt used to sneak me these from Chinatown after work. I thought the edible rice paper was magic. It still is.”
Strange: Sour Cola Tape
“Like drinking soda through lightning. Too intense to enjoy, too cool to give up.”
🍿 Sharon Banks – Entertainment Editor
Sweet: Sugar Daddy Caramel Pops
“I stole one from my brother’s Halloween haul every year. That’s the taste of rebellion.”
Strange: Gummy Chicken Feet
“Delicious? No. Iconic? Absolutely. They made no sense. I respected that.”
🍉 ROCKY ARMSTRONG – 1950s/60s Music Writer
Sweet: Necco Wafers
“You either get it or you don’t. Chalky? Maybe. But that licorice one still makes me feel like I’m ten again.”
Strange: Wax Bottles (Nik-L-Nips)
“Chewing wax for a drop of syrup? Genius or scam? We’ll never know.”
🧵 Betsy Jackson – Homeschooling & Family Life Writer
Sweet: Bit-O-Honey
“It was my mom’s favorite. Every time I unwrap one, I hear her humming in the kitchen.”
Strange: Ribbon Candy
“It looked too pretty to eat—and maybe it was. We kept it in a dish year-round.”
🎨 Closing Reflection
“Candy is emotion with a wrapper. It’s childhood you can hold. It’s weirdness you forgive. It’s joy, sometimes bittersweet. What was your favorite? What candy made you feel seen, even if only for a second?”
🍬 Sweet & Sour – A Candy-Coated 38-Track Playlist by Go Cybernaut 🍭 This isn’t just a playlist—it’s a sugar rush with a twist. From bubblegum pop and sticky-sweet soul to tangy rock riffs and sour-laced synths, Sweet & Sour is a 38-track journey through all things candy, craving, and contradiction. Featuring iconic artists like The Beatles, Lady Gaga & BLACKPINK, Iggy Pop, The Four Tops, Talking Heads, David Bowie, Bow Wow Wow, Madonna, and Justin Bieber, this mix blends nostalgic charm with lyrical bite. Whether you’re in the mood to dance, swoon, or just unwrap a memory, this playlist delivers flavor in every note—sweet highs, sour hooks, and everything in between.
