        Zach you an Oculus Rift user? I’m a Quest fanatic.

          I've actually never messed around with any kind of VR; OCULUS was a word that fit and that I recognized (via Rift even). One day I'll check it out and I'm sure I'll get lost in it. :)

            Instructions unclear. Is this 26A? 😀

                Banana 33A just might be my favourite food.

                  Fun! In a larger puzzle you could have thrown in Circus Peanuts.

                    14A was too funny! My only gripe is that most of these are not "makers" of the candy, but brands of candy made by companies like Wonka, Ferrara, etc. Great finds though, and a fun angle on the theme!

                      That was a hurdle I decided to jump in the interest of keeping the same clue for all theme entries. NECCO isn't a candy in and of itself, so I couldn't clue it simply as [Banana-flavored candy]; but a weak argument could be made that RUNTS and LAFFY TAFFY "make" banana-flavored candy since it's not their only flavor. It definitely wouldn't pass publication submission, but I thought it was OK enough for the contest.
