Candy connoisseurs are getting loud all over social media about their favorite new candy from Trader Joe's. In fact, they're loving this one so much they say it beats all their old favorites, including their Super Sour Scandinavian Swimmers. If you're not a frequent TJ's shopper, or not one to follow the shop's fandom, you might not be aware that the Scandinavian Swimmers (their extra-sour take on Swedish Fish) have a strong fanbase. And to hear folks on TikTok swear this new candy item is even better is, well, a pretty big deal.
So what exactly is this new candy we all so obviously need to try?
They're called Sour Strawberry Candy Belts, and they are taking TJ's fans by storm. According to Trader Joe's website, these fully vegan candy belts are made by a Turkish supplier that only uses natural flavors and 'colors derived from fruit & vegetable juices.' They kinda, sorta resemble bacon, but again, fully vegan! They come in a 10 ounce box and are just $3.49, so they're nice on the wallet, too. Bonus: reviewers say the box is real easy to open, which is nice given that so many containers nowadays can be downright dangerous to open.
You can sense the excitement for them over on Instagram, where plenty of folks have been commenting about the anticipation.
'I've been looking for these for months 😤😩,' said one IG user. Other comments included, 'Lord I didn't need another sugary temptation at TJs 😂,' and 'I've been waiting for these to hit shelves! Can't wait.'

But it's over on TikTok where you'll find the stellar reviews of this new confection.
@heatherrmariee1 tried these out and immediately gave the strawberry-infused candy a 10 out of 10. 'This is by far the best candy that TJ's has and I'm a number one fan of Sour Scandinavian Swimmers,' she shared with her followers. Big praise!
@jacquelinesvlog also tried them out, and upon tasting told her followers, 'These are so good I could cry. They're wonderful!' And when someone in the comments brought up Scandinavian Swimmers, she was quick to reply that, in her opinion, these were even better.
You can check TikTok yourself, but it truly does seem like the former Fishy King of TJ's Candy has finally been ousted.

Thousands of carpets sunbathe at Turkish resort
Thousands of carpets and kilim rugs spread out in the sun form a festive and kaleidoscopic patchwork on the outskirts of Antalya, a coastal tourist city in southern Turkey. From June to September, in harvested fields cleared of stubble, merchants bring their cargo to age in the sun, tempering the bright hues of their natural colours and ridding them of undesirable elements. Hasan Topkara washed wool knotted carpets and rugs that come from across Turkey. He dries them, trims their fringes and stray strands if necessary, then spreads them out in the sunlight for three months, on the bare ground. The wool, coloured with natural vegetable dyes, takes on pastel tones and softens between the morning dew and the heat of the day. According to Topkara, in the past, up to 60,000 carpets were processed in each three month drying season in the Dosemealti district. But today he is one of the last ones to do so, with around 15,000 carpets stored side by side on a 40-hectare (100 acre) area. Around 50 workers watch them day and night, turning them regularly and monitoring the weather. About 100 people rush in from the surrounding villages to help fold the carpets if there is rain. In 45 minutes, everything must be put away in a sheltered place, then brought out again once the rain has stopped. Once they have reached the desired shade, most of the carpets are sent to Istanbul and its historic Grand Bazaar, from where they are frequently shipped abroad. Over the years, Topkara's field of colours has become a tourist attraction, especially after Turkish pop singer Mabel Matiz recorded a video clip for his song "Sarmasik" there in 2018. oz-ach/fo/tw/tc

Here's why you should never name your baby one of these 3 common names, speech therapist says
Don't name them that. Millennial parents are using the '90s as inspiration for naming their newborns — which is fine, as long as they avoid three names in particular, according to a speech therapist. Chloe Conrad is a speech-language pathologist who often posts informative, helpful videos for parents on her Instagram page. In one of Conrad's recent posts, she shared three specific names parents should never consider naming their baby — and for good reason. 'Three names I would never name my child as a speech therapist: Rory, Rowan and Aurora. They're so hard to say,' the expert point-blank said in the video, which has garnered over 250,000 views. In the caption of the post, she provided some more context on her opinion: 'Basically any name with R and O in it next to each other. I LOVE the way they sound but struggle teaching a child to say them.' If you struggle pronouncing these challenging names — you're not alone. Many people in the comment section agreed with Conrad. The expert advised parents to spare themselves and avoid naming their newborns one of these tricky names. nataliaderiabina – 'My guess was Aurora before I ever heard it! Lol. I have the hardest time saying it! We had a little girl on our soccer team last season and even the parents yelling it sounded off to me! Lol.' 'lol I've always found Rory hard but I just realised I can't say Aurora at all.' 'So true lol all those Rs!' Conrad explained in an interview with why so many people struggle pronouncing these, rather simple-looking names. When there's a word or name that has a R before an O — most people struggle articulating these letters together. 'The W sound is made with rounded lips, and O is also a rounded vowel,' she told the outlet. 'So when you put the two together, it becomes increasingly difficult for a young child to produce clearly.' Thankfully, it seems that most parents are avoiding these tricky-to-pronounce names — and instead are opting for simpler names like Liam and Olivia. Liam has ranked No. 1 for boys' names eight consecutive years — while Olivia has taken the cake for girls' names for six years in a row. Aside from these two, old-fashioned baby names like Theodore, Oliver, Owen, Eleanor, Eloise and Margaret are back in style. 'I think vintage names evoke a sense of nostalgia. I get a lot of clients who pull out their family tree, looking to grandparents and great-grandparents for name inspiration,' Colleen Slagen, author of the forthcoming book 'Naming Bebe,' told Yahoo! Life.
