Most disgusting candy - what's your pick?

[FloridaJudy]

What do you think the Equinox Hare leaves bad children?

I'm voting for licorice allsorts. I know licorice is not everybody's cup of tea, though I adore it. But someone had to be seriously deranged to think you could improve it by combining it with gritty, overly sweet fruit candy in nauseating colors.



Circus peanuts are pretty gross too, but not on the same level.

[cynatnite]

1. Oh, have I got a list...

Chocolate covered cherries...ICK!
Cadbury eggs...BLECH!
Marshmellow chicks...BARF!

I hate that candy. Yuck! :puke:

[KitchenWitch]

2. candy buttons

tasted like the paper it was stuck to.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

3. Licorice is HORRIBLE.

I can't eat it anyway, raises my blood pressure.

Most Jelly Beans and hard candy (the kind that you destroy teeth on , like Almond Roca or peanut brittle) -- they can keep it!!!!

I don't like marshmallow peeps either. Don't like Skittles or most of the other fruity things.

I prefer the speckled malted milk eggs.

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Disgusting!

And not suitable for Christian families! x(

[Fox Mulder]

5. That and...

that peanut butter candy in the black and orange wrappers that's passed around during Halloween. :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Rhythm]

62. OMG... i LOVE 'peanut butter kisses'

Oktoberain thinks i've lost what's left of my mind for eating them, though.

[HughBeaumont]

66. Mary Janes.

Worst. Candy. Ever.

[Art_from_Ark]

6. Circus peanuts RAWK!

I was part of a group of 3 or 4 junior high students who got stuck trying to pawn bags and bags of year-old circus peanuts off on an unsuspecting public one year as part of a Halloween band candy sales drive. Our first attempt at a sale went like this:

Man at door: Yes?

Us: You don't want to buy any band candy, do you?

Man at door: Not really, but what do you have?

Us: Circus peanuts and candy corn.

Man at door: I don't know what that stuff is. Is it good?

Me: Well, I tried some of the circus peanuts last night, and nearly barfed up my dinner. And the candy corn wasn't any better.

Man at door: Well, I guess I don't want any, then.

[zanne]

8. I love Circus Peanuts!

AND candy corn! I would have bought some from you.

[qb]

42. I OD'd on those as a kid and have never recovered.

:puke:

[YankeyMCC]

7. Peeps

ugg, can barely stand the though of those weird things.

[zanne]

9. Okay...You people have no taste in marshmallowy candy. nt

[Ikonoklast]

31. 'Peeps' Have A Dirty Little Secret

[zanne]

45. My love for them is unwavering.

Even though they've sinned.

[Ikonoklast]

49. Enabler

Think how many Bunnies have suffered at the hands of the Peep Mafia, forced to dance on their little marshmallow legs for their evil masters.



Think of the children!

[zanne]

50. Rofl! nt

[tigereye]

65. thanks for a great laugh!

:rofl:


my husband is wondering why I am laughing so hard!

[krispos42]

73. Mmmmm... peeps

:drool:

This is amusing...

[mtnester]

10. Black licorice

yuck, double yuck, horrid stuff

[China_cat]

52. I agree.

But my husband grew up in Holland and his favorite is the double salt 'drop'. I can't even kiss him if he's been eating them.

[grannylib]

11. I'm with you on that one. I don't care for licorice at all and those things

are just really nasty.

[KansDem]

12. I once had a Butterfinger that cost me $124.50

$0.50 for the Butterfinger and $124 to have my filling replaced. That was 11 years ago and haven't had one since...x(

Tootsie Rolls are pretty bad, too. Just a glob of stuff with very little flavor...yuck!

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Circus Peanuts, Peeps, and I'm like you - I am OBSESSED with licorice, and think Allsorts are pukish

My favorite candy is probably black licorice - and black jelly beans, black gumdrops, black jujubes... I love black licorice.

I can't even LOOK at Licorice Allsorts without getting a gross taste in my mouth. Even that picture you posted has brought that awful taste and texture to my mouth.

[krispos42]

74. Black jelly beans are the shit

Damn you, now I want some!

[mondo joe]

14. Those Cadbury egg things that look like they're filled with semen.

[BarenakedLady]

17. I hate those things too.

And NOW I'll never look at them without thinking of semen. Ewwww

[Jamastiene]

19. My vote goes there too. n/t

[lightningandsnow]

15. Almost all Jelly Beans

Jelly Bellies are good, but for some reason they're the only ones I can stand. I hate that cheap, artificially-flavored camp.

Also, I HATE salty licorice (the European-style kind). It's like eating drain cleaner - it burns your throat. Yuck.

[grannylib]

46. I'm with you on the jelly beans; for most brands, I only like the

lemon and the cherry ones. I do like a lot of the Jelly Belly flavors, though!
I love mixing toasted coconut with the chocolate fudge. Yum.

[ThatsMyBarack]

16. I once had a piece of Danish gummy candy....

....that tasted like it was flavored with a salt substitute--not sweet at all! :puke:

[mainegreen]

18. DOUBLE-ZOUT IS AMAZINGLY YUMMY!!!!

Seriously, I like that ammonium flavor.

:9

[begin_within]

27. We used to have Dutch neighbors, and I once had the misfortune of putting a piece of Double Zout

in my mouth... YUCK! Tasted like what I assume a tire might taste like. The worst "candy" in the world in my opinion. I don't understand why it is so popular in the Netherlands.

[mainegreen]

37. The kind my mom eats are at least 20 times stronger than double zout

and shaped like tiny diamonds.

Tiny diamonds of doom. I like double zout, but even I can't eat the super duper kind.

[unpossibles]

20. Gummy anything. I prefer my candy to be chocolate in general. nt

[femmocrat]

59. I agree! Who would eat a gummy "worm" ?

bleah!!!

[BluePatriot]

21. Licorice. ewwww.

[Zavulon]

22. Candy corns.

Just thinking about those disgusting fucking things makes me sick.

[jonnyblitz]

26. I ate too many and got sick on those nasty things one halloween as a child.

as a child. I haven't been able to eat them since.

[LynzM]

23. I had really gross Mexican candy once...

I wish I'd saved the wrapper... these little things the size of a gumdrop, dark red, gritty on the outside, about 17 flavors (and none of them complimentary) on the inside. Blech. It became a dare in our group at work to try one.

[Dulcinea]

24. Peeps. Smarties. Necco wafers. Pixy Stix.

Gross. :puke:

[CottonBear]

25. I HATE peeps and marshmallows but I love licorice, smarties, Pixy Stix and Necco wafers!

:)

[Broken_Hero]

28. Those chalk candy things, like those valentines

heart shaped things....

[Feron]

64. Conversation hearts?

If they are heart shaped with a message, then it is a conversation heart. :)

[Parche]

29. CANDY CORN

:puke: :puke: :puke::hi:

[Akoto]

39. Lewis Black on candy corn ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSRaUN73Rqw

[orleans]

71. that was funny. (i like candy corn though) n/t

[alphafemale]

78. I HATEHATEHATE black licorice. But - I like to drop a Star Anise in the water when cooking rice.

How weird is that?

I guess because the flavor is really subtle that way. Plus there's a slice or two of ginger in the cooking water too.

I do seriously hate black licorice candy though. I accidentally got a black licorice Jelly Belly in my mouth when driving one time.

I nearly ran off the road trying to get the window rolled down to spit it out....EWWW!!!

[MorningGlow]

30. Divinity

When I was in London on a class trip in college, one of my friends found some and bought a small bag because she was a fan of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. She liked it. Gave me a piece. Tasted like perfume would if you drank it. Covered in powdered sugar.
:puke:

Also hate black licorice, Necco wafers, Bottlecaps, and powdery "message" Valentine hearts.

[FloridaJudy]

40. That's "Turkish Delight"

And is actually pretty tasty, if you get the fruit/nut flavored variety. Somebody obviously played you a cruel joke and gave you the "rose" version. They also make it in licorice :puke: (and I normally like licorice!)

[MorningGlow]

48. Ohhh yeah that's right! Turkish Delight!

Silly me. Thanks! :hi:

Yes, it was definitely flower-flavored, and not in a good way. BLECH.

[bertha katzenengel]

32. ANYTHING from another country (unless it's chocolate)

I guess one loves the candy one grows up with, so people from, say, Mexico can stand to eat and even enjoy Mexican candy. Me? :puke:

[stuntcat]

57. ooo yes that candy from The Foreign Lands

Our neighborhood of Arlington is very mixed up but mostly Hispanic, it's totally wonderful but I've seen some scary bad candy at the local stores.. even a whole scary-candy section at Blockbuster, it's funny. One or two kinds are okay but I'm afraid to try most of them :scared:

[mitchum]

33. Circus peanuts and that hard, sticky old lady candy

[lightningandsnow]

35. Ha ha... I know what you mean

about the old lady candy.

[mitchum]

36. Right after posting that, I walked over to the classroom next door...

and, lo and behold, there was a box of old lady candy...brought by an old lady, of course :)

[Akoto]

38. I'm guessing you mean ribbon candy.

In which case, yes. Blech. ;)

[mitchum]

41. That's it!

[orleans]

72. the kind my grandma loved--and my dad always bought around xmas time?

[WinkyDink]

81. BWAH!! That's the candy I was trying to think of! Always in a covered glass jar!

[Flaxbee]

34. Circus Peanuts, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

I know many people LOVE Reese's, but they are just way, way, waaaayyyyyy too rich for me. Blech.

[krispos42]

75. You don't like Reece's PB cups?

Why do you hate America?

:hide:

:-)

[auntAgonist]

43. I LOVE licorice allsorts AND black licorice .. hate PEEPS

:)
Cadbury caramel eggs are pretty good, much better than the easter creme eggs.

:hi:

aA

[China_cat]

53. Have you tried the new orange ones?

[auntAgonist]

54. No ... I'll have to seek them out.

I love dark chocolate and orange too ... chocolate and orange just seem to be a natural combination.

thanks!

aA

[barb162]

44. licorice - hands down worst

[applegrove]

47. Yup. They are pretty gross but I love them.

[GreenPartyVoter]

51. Malted milk balls, Bertie Bott's every flavor beans, Crunchy Frog

[azmouse]

55. Licorice is the first thing I thought of.

:puke:

[hippywife]

56. Horehound Drops.

My country cousin used to suck on these all the time. Yuck!

I love all other kinds of candy, unfortunately. But I can't eat much so I don't.

Our HR department gave every other department an easter basket today. They bought the really, really cheap and disgusting stuff from the dollar store and it was horrid. Worse jelly beans ever (and I do love the cheap Brach's ones) and those largish candy coated flat on one side candy eggs with something like marshmellow in them. I took one bite and spit it out! It was a nice thought but she really should have saved the money coz that stuff was gross!

[grateful581]

58. in honor of easter , peeps!

I can't stand peeps.

[Tektonik]

60. Banana Laffy Taffy

:puke:

Banana Now N Laters are a close second

[Rhythm]

61. Warheads

OMGWTF!!!!!

Hate those things... they're not candy, they're a sadistic dare in a wrapper.

[krispos42]

76. Ah, it was fun to get the newbies with those

Especially the black cherry ones.

"Have one. They're sweet."

"Thanks." <suck suck suck suck> "Argh! Whoa!"

"On the inside..."

:rofl:

[Feron]

63. Here goes...

Circus peanuts
Black Licorce
Those Black & Orange wrapped Halloween candies
Those wafer (not Smarties, but bigger) candies
Peeps
Warheads
In the Whitman's sampler, I hate the chocolate rectangles with what I swear are pieces of wood inside. At least it tastes like chocolate covered wood.

My uncle gave me a box of assorted European (I think Dutch) chocolates for Christmas. They were all good except for this particular filling in one that tasted like sweaty old mildewy gym socks. BARF

[reyd reid reed]

67. Oh, I like those

I like licorice in just about any form, though. Loooooove me some Good 'n' Plenty.

:9

What I don't especially like are Peeps....just icky. There are a few more that I can't think of right now.

There are far more that I like than I don't.

Dangnabit.

[HuffleClaw]

68. allsorts suck

but for real genuine suckiness you have to go to :

[Lydia Leftcoast]

69. Circus peanuts and candy corn

Yuck.

I actually like GOOD black licorice, though, the kind that comes in little hard black wafers, not the kind in gooey ropes.

[orleans]

70. i don't know. i'm still musing over your term: Equinox Hare! n/t

[Pushed To The Left]

77. I didn't try any, but at 7-11 I saw a candy called "Box of Boogers". I'm not making this up!

:puke:

[sakabatou]

79. Probably green apple flavored candy

Though Jelly Belly came out with "Booger" flavored beans.

[sakabatou]

80. Bertie Bott's "Soap"

XP

[Mendocino]

82. Does anybody remember

Bubbs Daddy, tubular gum about as big around your little finger and about a foot long? Cost 5 cents. Or Mouthfuls? The size of a wallet and cost 10 cents. Not the worst except when you chewed the whole thing at once. Which I did, blowing bubbles the size of beachballs.
