For better or worse?
It's MS so I'm guessing worse?

In reality, we cannot do anything without MS or at least, not any good options are available for us.

So the small change was for the worse I take it?

Better or worse, hope that the cost of 365 subscrition does not go up.

Don't have 365, and apparently my sarcasm detector is on the fritz.

right, so google, ms search etc all put their crap in there... just signaling, does nothing useful. Now, a 2000 lb lgb works wonders

So no annoying dialog that pops up before you even use it to show you how much better it is?

Long story short: I was looking for a big bag of sweets / candy / lollies* (Menthol / Eucalyptus to be precise) for Herself and found a wholesale company doing what I needed, albeit in a 3Kg pack ...
So I had a browse round to see what else I might buy to make the £15 delivery worth it, given that the sweets only cost £10 + VAT.
And I found some oddities:
Cheese sweets / candy / lollies*.
Garlic sweets / candy / lollies*.
Neither of those really appeal as high sugar produce to my palate but I did think of a use for them.
Folks, do you dislike children begging at your door with threats of mischief or criminal damage on the 31st? A big bowl of these might be the answer ...**

** No, I didn't get them, we don't have small kids around these parts. I got 3Kg of Sherbet Fruits for me. My dentist will be so pleased.

Victory V or Trebor Extra Strong are a reasonable alternative. Although, when we were kids you could buy even more horrible tasting stuff at the local joke shop.

Hey! I liked both of them as a kid!

Nothing wrong with garlic, but I can't quite picture what "garlic sweets" might taste like. Odd combo for sure.
I suppose it's one of those "both taste great separately, but don't combine them together" kinda things.
Like chococate as a pizza topping...

My palate is just going "No. No. No." at the idea of the combination.

There used to be a garlic restaurant in Singapore that supplied garlic ice cream. I had small chunks of raw garlic in it, the contrast in flavours was most enjoyable.

I usually hand out chocolate-dipped Brussels Sprouts, but the garlic ones might save me a lot of preparation time.

Haven't most of us been through a few waves of pepper candy, whether piper or capsicum pepper based?
For years, there was an Asian imports shop in town, selling ginger candy so intense in taste that I always warned my guests when I had them available. My family and myself loved them! (The shop has been gone for a few years now, and I don't know where to find that sort anywhere near to where I live.)
We also love garlic. I do not recall any candy variant, but I certainly wouldn't reject it if I was offered a taste. Then again: Eating garlic cloves 'as is' is probably not too different. (The bad thing with garlic goes by the old saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A garlic a day keeps everybody away.)
Lots of cheeses are rather sweet without any sugar added. I love strong, well matured cheese: For a lot of cheese, I read 'Best Before:' as 'Best half a year after:'. Some people love to eat jam with their well matured cheese. Then we are getting closer to candy. While I cannot imagine adding sugar (or even jam) to my cheese, I can certainly imagine some taste elements from my favorite well matured cheeses used in a mix with other taste elements in a 'generic' candy. Not to make the candy taste 'like cheese', but to bringing in some of the strong taste elements that I love.
Some years ago, a jelly candy was introduced, announcing '1023 different tastes!'. Being a computer guy, my immediate reaction was: Isn't that one short? Shouldn't it be 1024? Then it dawned upon me: They have a basic jelly candy, and 10 different taste elements that can be added or not added. The 1024th, or rather 0th, taste is when none of the ten taste elements are added. A completely no-taste jelly candy. They omitted that alternative from the taste options. (The candy was short-lived, so I do not remember neither its name or manufacturer.)
