Oh boy, there are certainly some candies out there that make us scrunch up our faces and wonder why they exist! π¬π But if I have to pick the worst candy of all time, it has to be… drumroll, please… π₯ Candy Corn! π½βοΈ
Now, before you throw candy corn-shaped daggers at me, hear me out! Candy corn is one of those candies that truly divides people. Some people adore it and can’t wait for the Halloween season to indulge, but others just can’t stand it. It’s like a love-hate relationship in a candy form! ππ
There’s something about the waxy texture and overwhelmingly sweet taste that doesn’t sit well with many candy lovers. Plus, you can’t deny the fact that it’s shaped like a tiny triangle in shades of yellow, orange, and white, which doesn’t exactly scream “appetizing” or “delicious.” π½π ββοΈ
Now, I respect that some people genuinely enjoy candy corn. After all, there must be a reason it’s been around since the late 1800s! π°οΈ But it’s undeniably one of those candies that sparks heated debates during Halloween. People either love to include it in their festive candy dishes or avoid it like the plague. It’s a polarizing candy experience, for sure! ππ΅
Of course, there are plenty of other candies that might compete for the title of the worst. For instance, have you ever tried those black licorice candies that taste like anise? π¬π Or what about those strange lollipops with real bug inside? π¦π Yikes!
At the end of the day, candy preferences are subjective, and what one person finds absolutely repulsive, someone else may devour with joy! But if I were to create a poll called #WorstCandyEver, I have a feeling candy corn might just take the top spot, or rather, the bottom spot!
So, what do you think? Do you agree that candy corn is the worst candy ever, or do you have another candy in mind that deserves the title? Share your thoughts and let the candy debates begin! ππ
Necco wafers
Love hearts they are chalky and don’t taste of anything.
Those stupid C Howard’s violet breath mints. Like eating condensed laundry powder.
Haribo Sugar Free Gummy Bears is known to give you an explosive diarrhea.
circus peanuts
Black licorice. I don’t know how anyone can put that in their mouths on purpose.
Whatever that orange peanut was.
Good n plentyβs
Turkey Dinner Candy Corn
Those cheapo peanut flavored taffy that wrapped in orange and black wax paper
They were fun, but waxed lips. They were big, red, and made out of wax! Some even had vampire teeth.
maybe not the worst, but a candy i used to LOVE was Butterfinger. Then they changed the recipe. and it is terrible now. i’ll see it in the check out line at the grocery store and just be sad because it used to be so good
Thrills Gum No I don’t want my gum to taste like soap.
Jelly Belly Bean Boozled. Ain’t nothing like barf and rotten egg flavored beans.
The little sugar dots on the piece of paper. You always wind up eating some of the paper.
Iβve scrolled pretty far down, and I havenβt seen anyone say a word about those godawful gummy food-shaped candies they hand out at Halloween.
Theyβre usually individually wrapped, and the most common ones I had were made to look like a hamburger or hotdog.
They had a weird chemical flavour AND the magnificent texture of industrial-quality rubber.
You guys know those fake m&ms that come in those candy canes? God I hate those things.
Candy necklaces. The entire process of having to gnaw old, stale sugar nodules off of a piece of string was just flat out degrading.
Hostess Snoballs – Zombieland was right to make fun of them
Ribbon candy your grandma kept in a bowl that all stuck together
Those gross ass βcandiesβ that are wrapped in either orange or black wrappers. They are like hardened peanut butter or something. The candy we all threw away after trick or treating.
I was in amsterdam and I was hungry for… reasons. I went into a candy shop. I should mention that I do not speak Dutch. I certainly don’t read it. So I found these blue raspberry sour ribbons that looked just like my favorite sour candy. I bought a goddamn pound of them (again, for… reasons).
Walked outside, pulled one of these enticing blue boys out, and took a great big bite. Of menthol flavored candy.
*MENTHOL.*
I don’t don’t what fucking psychopath decided this was a thing that should ever be in people’s mouths – as opposed to, say, used to sterilize septic tanks – but I hope that asshole gets his asshole permanently attached to the asshole of the asshole who decided the delivery method should be via candy that looks exactly like blue raspberry. And if it’s the same asshole, I stand by my former statement. Human Centipede 2: The Ouroboros. That’s what I wish on that person.
So yeah, I’m gonna go with “Surprise Menthol Flavor” as the worst flavor of candy.
Peeps π₯
Anyone ever tried a Canadian brand of chewing gum called βThrillsβ?
It literally tasted exactly like soap. It *advertises* that it tastes like soap!
It was also cheaper than any other gum available.
Circus peanuts!
Those hard square taffy candies wrapped in orange and black paper that would require an immediate root canal.
Thrills gum
Sugar-free candy should be recommended as a bowel prep before a colonoscopy – it is that fast-acting and misery-inducing. Your ears will be whistling in no time.
Horehound!
Also anything carob!
Those coloured Easter eggs that are just solid white inside, I donβt know what theyβre called but theyβre nasty.
Haribo Sugar Free Gummy Bears. Read the reviews on Amazon for them. One of my favorites:
Dear Christ what did I just do.
So I purchased these as a way to say thank you to the people who steal things from my desk. Needless to say I did not heed the warnings and devoured approximately 2 cups alone. Let me tell you why these are now on a secured drawer locked away from the people I work with. If I let them eat these I will get incarcerated for not warning them.
At 910 pm I ate 16 oz of these. The flavor was beyond good for sugar free. This is the bait before the Cobra attacks.
At 915pm I left for home. My commute this night was 1.5 hours. Approximately 10pm I hear what can only be perceived as thunder in the far off distance that rolled like summer storm across the wheat fields of the heartland. I look towards my belly button and for the first time ever my back cracked without twisting or moving. I hear my text message go off and it was my Toilet reminding me to get more paper from the hall closet before getting home. (Covid hoarding added to make the stockpile full.)
10 minutes to Wapner and my ass started to sound like Rainman. βOHHH, not gonna make it.β I think is what the sphincter actually said.β It was the most harmonious and wretched smell welling up from my bowels.
I get in to my house and left a clothing trail like Hansel n Gretle going into the woods. Grabbing the A+ quality paper, you know the company coming TP, while my intestines were making more noises than an orchestra tuning up before a night of Mozart.
Alas I make it. Pants-less and sock free for fear of a flood due to porcelain throne clog. I havenβt eaten any Laffy taffy since 1985. I know one came out. I was on bowl arrest for 20 minutes while I said two rosaries and at least one prayer in a language I am sure hasnβt been written or read from since prior to the Egyptians building pyramids. Unrelieved of my faculties I head for my bed after a thorough cleaning. I slept for a great while knowing I had nothing left inside of me.
Or so I thought.
130 am the thunder started again and out side I here Auntie M calling Dorothy to get in the cellar. My rear was in gear and I started to tear off down the hall. Another 20 minutes and half roll of extra soft later I sent out good by texts to all my loved ones. Thank God I live alone.
I awoke in a daze crying still on the bowl as round three rang in. It was sparse for the rest of the day but was still there and repeating all day. I lost 7 lbs and was dehydrated beyond recognition. This was the best cleanse ever.
I assure you. The reviews are right. I am living proof you will survive but at what cost?
Whatever that “chocolate” is that they use for Easter candies. Shit is worse than Hersheys.
licorice all sorts. because who doesn’t need more texture to the black death taste of licorice.
Palmer Easter Candy. Plastic, Waxy and tasteless. Cheap and gross. But sooo popular.
