Wednesday Worsts… Candy

[Treebeard]

Peeps are the all time worst candy for me. Thankfully they are only around for a couple of months during the Easter season.

Actually no, they are showing up in other variations at many other holidays.

I don't like eating raw Peeps, but you will change your mind about them if you toast them like the marshmallows they are. Soft and the outer coating caramelizes like a candy coating. You won't go back to regular marshmallows.

Candy corn is the correct answer . Dreadful beyond words . Though CD takes silver with the circus peanuts choice . I’d rather eat chalk

This was nailed on the first three posts; those peanut things and candy corn are the worst. I think even as a kid if the choice was either of those or broccoli, I’d have prolly opted for the veggie.

Not sure it was actually a member of the candy family, but the gum that came with the baseball cards was pretty awful, and left a dust stain on the card below it!

OK, you didn't really specify American candy so...I worked with a Chinese mathematician who would bring the Chinese candy her parents sent her from home. She would gleefully bring it to work to share. I couldn't read what the stuff was but I think it was honey mixed with fish blood dried in the sun. And to to be polite I would always unwrap one and act like I was going to eat it. Never could though.

In the same respect I guess chocolate covered bugs could be considered candy too.

When I lived in Cyprus and you went to an event on the Turkish side, you could usually expect to be offered “Turkish Delight.” To my way of thinking, it was pretty disgusting as well.

@CDGator - I was in a Cracker Barrel this AM in El Paso and one of the employees was actually reloading the spot for the circus peanuts! Someone must either actually be eating them or possibly giving them as gag gifts.

Page 3 and no hate for St. Valentine's Day "Conversation Hearts"?

Admittedly, they're better than candy corn but they still suck and let's be honest, everybody HATES St. Valentine's Day.

Not as bad as Necco Wafers, but close.

Smarties are my life-long favorite candy! I usually buy the giant bag during Halloween FOR MYSELF and then steal a couple here or there out of the bag throughout the year.

I feel like someone just told me my child is ugly.

How can anyone hate that perfectly tart sweetness?

I love milk duds.

 

[jdh5484]

The nastiest of nasty.

 

[jdh5484]

What is a milk ball? Tasted like moth balls.

TWSS.

I’ve never had a Necco but I suspect Tums tastes better than those.

Assorted fruit flavored Tums are actually pretty good. They also have mint flavored that is good.

I have to admit, they really were like candy.

I used to try and sneak as many of these as possible whenever I could so my immune system must be top notch as well.

circus peanuts - what are these things?

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

Do what?!?

These are manna from heaven:

This post reminded me that @Zambo already identified a candy that is apparently even worse than circus peanuts.
