candy corn or black licorice

Black licorice is really an acquired taste, especially in the context of American candy and as such is pretty terrible as candy to give out on halloween.

Candy corn doesn't taste bad but the texture is plain awful.
Both disappointed as a kid.
 
Trick Or Treating is not really a big thing over here, but I'd like to say that Black liquorice is nice and I could eat it all day. Worst sweets are those fucking sherbet flying saucers. The sherbet always tastes like it has been standing in a warehouse for years on end and the casing is like eating cardboard. Just thinking about them is making me feel a bit sick.
 
There are a lot worse, but I can't bring myself to like Reese's peanut butter cups. Grainy, cakey peanut butter dust covered in Hershey's 'I swear it's chocolate you guyz' coating. They are iconic and look great on paper, but I find the taste sickly and the texture unpleasant. It's easy to make your own and they will be better in every way, except maybe appearance.

I think the worst one is halloween candy in bulk that when you unwrap it is sorta swamp green taffy. Gross shit.
 
I am shocked and appalled at all you sonsabitches who can't appreciate Necco wafers, Mary Janes, peanut better kisses, and Bit-O-Honey. :(

Maybe it's because I grew up in a different generation but those candies were dirt common when I was a kid and I loved them. One thing I agree on though is Smarties, fuck Smarties. And peppermints.

Also "re: popcorn balls", back when I was a high school delinquent I used to work at a Blockbuster Video (r.i.p.) and for Halloween we would always get these nasty individually wrapped popcorn balls to sell. They were about the size of a fist and no one ever bought them so we eventually had to throw them out. While cleaning inventory one night I discovered that the plastic wrapper of the popcorn balls could be shrunk with the heat gun from the plastic wrap sealing machine. We ended up shrinking the wrappers around several dozen of the popcorn balls to turn them into makeshift snowballs and started throwing them at each other from across the store. We hung onto them for far too long because of this and ended up accidentally throwing them behind the shelves and TV displays and stuff. I'm sure that they stayed there until the store closed and they tore everything out of it. :lol:
 
The worst one I remember as a 10 yr old was that choco coated apple. It was coated with cheap chocolate that tasted bad that only melted and made a mess.

Since it's December should we just turn this into the worst Holiday candy thread? Because fuck candy cane's and fuck whatever shape of Reese's they piddle out now.

Reese's holiday editions are the best thing ever though! I can pass on the candy canes.
 
Real candy cans are the ones that aren't best reserved for shivs.
