Horrible Halloween Candy

[RedAngie]

I'm sure this thread comes up every year, but I'm starting it again.

Anybody who gives these out as treats deserves to get their house egged.

Necco Wafers

Candy Corn

Dum Dums Lollipops

And the absolute worst, Mary Janes

What say you?

I am a sucker for candy corn, but the rest you pictured I can live without.

Good and plenty, Mike and Ike's ewww



I wish I had some Sno Caps right now, lol

I like all those candies.

I'd have been happy to get them (well not the black necco wafers cause I don't love licorice).

I also love


Big fan of the Smarties and I buy them year round.

These are actually the Halloween specific Mary Janes but I prefer them to the small rectangle ones.

I am actually more ambievelant of the more popular candy. I can do with out chocolate and as far as I'm concerned worst candy ever

 

[disneychrista]

Is there such thing as bad candy ?

 

[ilovevacation]

I'm sure I will be in the minority here but I will say butterfingers, but I will admit my first thought was candy corn

When I was trick-or-treating, I was disappointed with anything that wasn't chocolate. Pixie sticks & smarties were okay. Anything else was old people candy that I gave to my parents.

Jawbreakers
Pixie sticks
Sour patch kids (or anything sour)
Bit o'honey
Circus peanuts

I'm not a fan of anything sour, but I love Smarties, candy corn, Bit O Honey and Neco Wafers. I was never a fan of Mary Janes, but my dad loved them, so we all gave them to him.

I’m old. I love the necco wafers and mary janes lol. I freaking hate candycorn though. Being thats said, I wouldnt give them out for halloween!!

 

[Breezy_Carol]

I hate Smarties.

So, there is no accounting for taste.

But does anyone hate Reese's cups? We didn't buy them to give out because of the peanut butter though.

 

[quandrea]

My kids love Dum Dums.

 

[Meriweather]

I like Neccos.
Hate Smarties, candy corn.
DGD loves dum dums

I always hating getting anything black licorice and the Tootsie Rolls in flavors .....other than what a Tootsie Roll should be.

I loved getting Reese's Cups, but that was when people gave what they wanted. Food allergies weren't a thing back then.

I loved all Halloween candy but I especially loved anything chocolate. Razor blades in apples were just staring to appear, but I disliked even before then apples and homemade crap like popcorn balls.

Funny. I loved black licorice, but no one I knew gave that for trick-or-treating.

I trick-or-treated in a place where you could trust people & loved homemade candy. Caramel apples were a favorite.

 

[L&Lfan]

I still give out whatever candy I want. It's the parents' or kid's job to worry about allergies.

 

[CdnCarrie]

The only thing I recognize from your list is candy corn. I like candy corn. Haven't had it in years however.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I *love* Dum Dums. They're small, so it doesn't take all day to finish one. They used to have a flavor called 'Buttered Popcorn' that you'd get maybe two in the whole bag so I'd dig for them. I think the worst candy in the world is black licorice. My Mom always divided our candy haul into bowls by type. My Dad got all the black licorice because he loved it. Blech.

I hate nougat candy, too:

I know it has pistachios in it, but God only knows what the other stuff was.

Those are the candies I was going to reply with! I didn’t even know what in the heck they were, other than I hated them as a kid. They always went into the trash.
