Friday OT #2 - Worst Halloween Candy

[cycloner29]

Raisins! They may be nature's candy, but they taste like crap!! I use to hate Butterfingers. Back in the day I got hold of large box of the bite size ones and proceeded to empty the box. 2 hour later I emptied my stomach. It took years before I ate them again.

Okay, here I go...

Candy corn is awesome!!! Y'all are weird.

Black licorice is a complete waste of everything on this Earth.

Rulzzz, how can you hate MIlk Duds? Those are great.

Smarties-best candy of all time.

Banana Laffy Taffy is good, but Im not surprised by the hate for it, not many people like it.

Thats it for now.

 

[CyArob]

The correct answer was raisinets. You all lose.

Green Apple Skittles have officially replaced Strawberry as best flavor, for original anyways. Lemon still remains worst.

Leave it to a Gunner to actually like the green apple Skittles. I'm going to now imagine that Arsene's puffy coat gets its signature puffiness because it is stuffed with green apple Skittles. However, I do agree that lemon is by far the worst flavor. But, that's part of the reason that the lime Skittle is so vital. If you don't like the lemon, you can always pop a lime in there simultaneously to turn a lackluster lemon-only tasting experience into a surprisingly delightful lemon-lime concoction.

Green Apple are the best, lemons get stuffed in the couch cushions, or puffy coat as the case may be. I'm a sucker for anything green apple though.

strawberry skittles are the best. This new green apple **** is for the birds.

The worst are those goddamn circus peanuts, peeps (I don't care if that's Easter), and anything banana flavored.

 

[GrindingAway]

I agree with the orange and black junk and circus peanuts. They shouldn't even be called candy.

That said you can't complain about anything unless you have tried Salmiakki. It's the top candy in Finland. I worked with a guy from there and he gave me one once and I about threw up. I looked at the package and it turns out it's black licorice flavored with ammonium chloride.

You are not human!!

I agree with Angie. I know two people on the face of the earth that like those black and orange pieces of crap. My dad and my father in law. But then again, they both are like goats and can eat just about anything.

Next time your wife comes to the office I may let her know you called her dad a goat.

 

[cyhiphopp]

There is a difference?

Packing peanuts might have better flavor and more nutritional value.

My thoughts--

Chocolate-covered raisins are God's nectar. Black licorice SUCKS. Most other candy I enjoy, including candy corn.

Most underrated: Kit-Kat.

 

[Bu4ISU]

Not necessarily Halloween candy. BUT WAX BOTTLES CAN GO FALL OF THE FACE OF THE EARTH

An old guy once gave me an individual pack of Triskets when I was trick-or-treating as a kid. I will never touch another Trisket for as long as I live.

Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits are just about the most delicious thing you could put in your mouth hole.

Underrated:
SweetTarts
Tootsie Roll Lime

The candy corn and pumpkins are pretty solid during the halloween season....Black licorice and bit o honey are my least favor halloween candies that have appeared in my pail....I've grown to stomach mounds and almond joy

 

[Bu4ISU]

Oh and what are those caramels with the white foamyish filling? Yuck

So, so true.

 

[CascadeClone]

Wrong. Black licorice, while admittedly an acquired taste, is awesome.

I have always argued that black licorice flavor, anise, is mispronounced. It should be a long A sound.

Blech.

 

[CascadeClone]

Never understood the candy corn and circus peanut hate. They are basically just pure sugar, although the peanuts have that way-fake orange/banana flavor.

I can absolutely freebase either one for the sugar rush, just addicted to both. So much that I can't buy them anymore, or I will get the diabetes. Seriously, I can't buy them. About once a year the Mrs will bring me a bag, and I will go hide in a closet and shamefully pig out.

Does anyone else charge their kids a candy tax?

It is referred to as "The Dad Tax" in our household.
