Tootsie Rolls is my vote - both waxy chocolate midgees and the more 1980s fruit flavors - lime, lemon, vanilla (weird!), cherry. Something about the texture is just great.

More simply, should it read 'my siblings and me' or 'me and my siblings.' Grammar question: Is the clause in the predicate of the second sentence ordered correctly?

More simply, should it read ‘my siblings and me’ or ‘me and my siblings.’
