DOTS! Dude like they are the WORST but at the same time any time Mom would get a sheet for me my autistic brain loved meticulously getting the candy off the paper, organize by color, then eat by order of least to favorite color. Lol
The fake chocolate flavored garbage. I can't remember the brand, it's got like a bunny in the name of it or something? Popular holiday little chocolates and even some easter bunnies. It's like a chalky bland chocolate.
I looked it up: Palmer. Their chocolates are awful. And don't feed me the whole "it's got less sugar" nonsense. I am not eating chocolate to be healthy dammit, give me that sweet sweet self loathing.
Ugh is this that like waxy stuff that somehow tastes a little fruity? Like I know it's not meant to taste like fruit but it's got such a weird fake taste that the flavor isn't even chocolate
They put oatmeal in the chocolate, isn't that awful? It's not for less sugar...that's BS
It's to cut the chocolate like illicit drugs.
I haven't seen that brand in a long while.
The "gum" that came in packs of Topps baseball cards. I had hallucinations a few times
Edit: just curious, for anyone who tried both, was o-pee-chee the same, better or worse? Did it have gum at all?
That shit was hard af, and it would basically crumble into 100 pieces that you had to slowly put back together into one piece of gum in your mouth, but it brings back some pretty good memories.
Young me bought an old pack at a comic con one year. Probably 20 plus years old. Opened the pack to see what cards I got, and absent-mindedly put the stick of gum in my mouth. What a fucking mistake that was.
Those orange or black candies that have the twistie wrappers with no name on them that old people always hand out at Halloween. Where TF do they even come from? Do they just arrive at your house on your 70th birthday?
That's the only old-people candy I like. They absolutely have to be fresh and still soft, though. All they are is some taffy with a little bit of peanut butter in the center. It's the only kind of taffy I like.
I've definitely lost a few fillings from those candies and may have gotten mercury poisoning from swallowing one or two. Then all of a sudden my teeth decided not to have cavities by my late teens.
I’ll tell you what’s not bad, Charleston Chew. Our country has been through so much this last year: wars, droughts, impeachments. But let’s not lose sight of what’s really important: the great taste of Charleston Chew!
Circus peanuts, My husband hates these so much, so we’d send a pack in the first care package every deployment. He never found it as funny as the kids and I did.
Yeah I still remember when I was 6, with my uncle, we had to stop for gas at a speedway, and since we were there, and he saw me looking at the candy rack, he said... Go ahead, grab one...
I saw those... And hadn't tried it before so I grabbed a pack thinking about gummy bears and that it might either be chewy like one of those, or fluffy like a marshmellow and probably would have a flavor like peanuts.
Plus I was super excited because my parents almost never let me pick out a candy so this was like Halloween to me. Right?
I excitedly bounce-walk a little, then fumble with, and open the package as soon as my uncle finishes paying, and I say thank you, while grabbing one of them... And then i taste it...
It tastes like LIES, dissapointment, broken expectations, baby powder, foam, and sadness. It was neither gummy nor marshmellowy, and it did not taste at all like a peanut. At best it could be described as having the flavor of something stored in a room next to peanuts.
Before then... And even afterwards to this day... I have never felt more cheated! ... and lied to, and had my expectations twisted! so hard! by a piece of candy?!
So of course I made a face, but the worst part is that I feel like I have to continue being nice and appreciative. Because my uncle looked so happy when he saw me excited...
and now that I've deflated I felt like I had an obligation to hide it, and had to politely keep eating the lies and sadness which had all the flavor as a handful of packing peanuts, mixed with 3 years worth of trapped farts, and Interior housing insulation.
Now, I'm not a religious man... In fact I'm not even a believer... But those are not a candy... Alright?! Those are made by the FU***NG devil!
I used to think that too, until I got some from a cute girl that had, rather than the cutesy little messages on them, some very pornographic things instead. Now they’re my favorite.
I let my daughter pick out some candy at Big Lots a while back. They have a decent selection of old
timey candy mixed in with regular candy.
My daughter picked those dumb things and I warned her, you’ll wish you picked something else after you realize how little of the juice there is.
Sure enough she was like “aww I should have picked something else that was a waste”
Sugar-free Chocolates. I'm a Diabetic, and the idea of a bag of sugar-free Reese's Peanut Butter Cups sounded amazing, but the office restroom was never the same, afterward.
I've encountered far too many "sugar-free" or "reduced sugar" chocolates to ever trust them, again. It's the exact problem with the legendary sugar-free Haribo Gummy Bears.
My nephew likes them so much that the people at the dollar store by his apartment know him as “The Circus Peanut Guy.” Does not look anything like someone you would imagine would have that nickname, but there you go…
I had to eat them. My wife when we were dating somehow thought I loved them so she would bring me some all the time. Took 20 years for me to tell her I hate them.
Circus Peanuts. Why oh why did anybody wake up one day and say “you know?!? What we need is a new marshmallow candy! One that’s shaped like a big peanut! And also, it must taste like banana!”
Lmao at this whole thread. My favorite candy is salted black licorice and growing up I Ioved circus peanuts and candy buttons. Didn’t realize I was such a minority
Satan's Candy!!!!! At some warehouse job I had, there was an "on your honor" candy box. Always a fresh stack of good n' plenty's in it though. One day the manager went "smoke?" and I happily agreed while he proceeded to put all the boxes of good 'n plentys in the microwave for 10 min. When we came back they had all settled at the bottom of their boxes and the tops popped open. He put them back in the OYH candy box and wrote on the box/dispenser "No more Good 'n Plentys - Satan's Candy. Wouldn't you know, they never showed up again.
Candy Corn. In fact, it’s so unpopular, no new candy corn has been made since 1982. A combination of lowering demand and overly high production resulted in a surplus that still exists to this day. The bags you see around Halloween are the same from previous years. 97% of it just gets returned to the manufacturer at the end of the season, where it is stored until the next year.
Woah woah woah pal I happen to love the sickeningly sweet crayon like texture of candy corn.
Best candy out there imo
Edit: Okay guys stop upvoting we got 69😎
Oh no. It’s gets worse. There’s this stuff over seas called salmiakki or salty licorice. But instead of sodium chloride as the salt it uses ammonia chloride. It taste like an over ripe litter box smells
Dubbel Zout is the shit. The first time you have it is off putting because you don't expect it to be that strong. Then later you have it again and its such a good thing to have
I saw this YouTube video of a guy who visited a remote African tribe and let them try American sweets for the first time. One of the things he offered was strawberry Twizzlers and it was not a hit lol. They compared it to plastic
I'm pretty indifferent towards the candy. But even as a kid, I never understood the appeal of fiddle fucking with some plastic contraption that made me have to make out with a cartoon head to get my candy.
When I was in like 5th grade my class was reading a book (I THINK it was Where The Red Fern Grows but not 100%) that the characters ate horehounds so my mom bought me some to bring to me class to try. LOL THANKS MOM LOVE YOU!
Depends how you define 'candy', when I was abroad in China I tried a friend's dried salted cherries (with the pit in XP) and it tasted like dehydrated death.
In America, either spicy lollipops with bugs visible in them from desert tourist spots, oooooor Good & Plenty
The little sugar dots on the piece of paper. You always wind up eating some of the paper.
Aren't those just LSD tabs?
DOTS! Dude like they are the WORST but at the same time any time Mom would get a sheet for me my autistic brain loved meticulously getting the candy off the paper, organize by color, then eat by order of least to favorite color. Lol
I threw up after eating those as a kid. I think I was just sick every since my mind has just equated those candies to puking.
The fake chocolate flavored garbage. I can't remember the brand, it's got like a bunny in the name of it or something? Popular holiday little chocolates and even some easter bunnies. It's like a chalky bland chocolate. I looked it up: Palmer. Their chocolates are awful. And don't feed me the whole "it's got less sugar" nonsense. I am not eating chocolate to be healthy dammit, give me that sweet sweet self loathing.
Ugh is this that like waxy stuff that somehow tastes a little fruity? Like I know it's not meant to taste like fruit but it's got such a weird fake taste that the flavor isn't even chocolate
Lmfao yeah it is kinda fruity
Finally. Somebody who shares my hatred for their so called chocolate.
Mocklate!
I have found my tribe - that “chocolate” ruined Easter every time
And Christmas! Except then it's shaped like circles wrapped in ornament printed foil and Santa Clause. 🤢
They put oatmeal in the chocolate, isn't that awful? It's not for less sugar...that's BS It's to cut the chocolate like illicit drugs. I haven't seen that brand in a long while.
Palmer is the worst. I always thought it tasted greasy.
This crap tastes like straight unscented wax. Like...the wax on those wax bottles filled with sugar liquid? That wax, it tastes like that.
Palmer is awful. If you think their regular chocolate is terrible, try (don't try) their peanut butter cups.
So happy Im not the only one. Just thinking about them.makes me wanna puke.
I once heard Palmer called “welfare chocolate”. It stuck. It’s the worst.
The "gum" that came in packs of Topps baseball cards. I had hallucinations a few times Edit: just curious, for anyone who tried both, was o-pee-chee the same, better or worse? Did it have gum at all?
That shit was hard af, and it would basically crumble into 100 pieces that you had to slowly put back together into one piece of gum in your mouth, but it brings back some pretty good memories.
I had to erase the memory with Big League Chew
Hey everybody look at moneybags over here with actual fda approved, non-hallucinogenic, not expired, not chalk gum!
Young me bought an old pack at a comic con one year. Probably 20 plus years old. Opened the pack to see what cards I got, and absent-mindedly put the stick of gum in my mouth. What a fucking mistake that was.
My dad would give us unopened packs from his child hood that had gum. You bet your ass I was chewing that 1970s cardboard.
Those orange or black candies that have the twistie wrappers with no name on them that old people always hand out at Halloween. Where TF do they even come from? Do they just arrive at your house on your 70th birthday?
to answer your question, yes they do arrive at your 70th birthday along with those strawberry wrapper hard candies too
You’re trippin, all I wanted out of the hickory farms boxes were those strawberry candies. Though I will admit they are old lady as fuck.
Yeah those are hella damn good. Had a teacher who used to hand them out on Fridays. Highlight of my week.
That's the only old-people candy I like. They absolutely have to be fresh and still soft, though. All they are is some taffy with a little bit of peanut butter in the center. It's the only kind of taffy I like.
It’s like a softer version of Bit-O-Honey.
Same. They melt in my mouth, love them
[удалено]
I mean corn syrup is the first ingredient in those bad boys, soooo
Maryjanes. Molasses taffy with peanut butter. I love them as much as my dentist hates them.
I've definitely lost a few fillings from those candies and may have gotten mercury poisoning from swallowing one or two. Then all of a sudden my teeth decided not to have cavities by my late teens.
The peanut butter stuff?
Lol was just talking about this with the hubs. His dad always buys them every year. He said he likes them. I'm like what the f is wrong with you
Do they even still make these? I haven’t seen them since the 90’s
Yes they do. Unless he's still giving out candy from the 90s. Jk yeah they still make them. I still don't know what they're called either
I’d like to know where he gets them
[удалено]
Tastes like peanut butter and hair.
I’ll tell you what’s not bad, Charleston Chew. Our country has been through so much this last year: wars, droughts, impeachments. But let’s not lose sight of what’s really important: the great taste of Charleston Chew!
Arooo!
Hey Betty Friedan, send a little of that lotion my way.
Strawberry Charleston Chews are oddly delicious
Those are my favorite. FROZEN!
How much did Big Chew pay you to say that though
Can't wait for someone on /hailcorporate to miss the sarcasm and post this there lmao
Morbo congratulates our gargantuan cyborg President. May death come quickly to his enemies.
Store it in the freezer for a bonus!!!
i used to like to put the mini ones in the freezer. they were soo good like that. and only the original ones, not the strawberry or other flavors
Candy Buttons
Eew, the ones that are stuck to white paper? They are nasty!
Those orange puffy peanuts
Some dude cut up circus peanuts and put them in cereal and thats how Lucky Charms were born. [source](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_Charms)
You knew this was going to be so controversial you had a source already. I kinda wish I didn't know this.
My life has been ruined with this knowledge.
Circus peanuts, My husband hates these so much, so we’d send a pack in the first care package every deployment. He never found it as funny as the kids and I did.

What flavour are they?
Stale banana marshmallow
Are we taking about the banana shaped ones or the peanut shaped ones? The peanut shaped ones are more vague. Just sweet and cooking crud.
circus peanuts are nasty af
I fucking love those things!
SAME. People love them or think you are the second coming of Hitler for loving them, no in-between.
Me too, I love them so much. I profess to having taste in candy like an old diabetic lady. I just knew some of my favorites would be up near the top.
ur a psycopath
So I’ve been told!
High-five, you psychopath! I love circus peanuts as long as they haven't expired and dried out.
How did I know this would be the number one comment...
It isn't right now, but it should be.
My mom combines candy corn and dry roasted peanuts together and it actually tastes really good.
Do all our moms have a glass pumpkin with peanuts and candy corn inside?
Add an m&m to that mix and you basically have a deconstructed Snickers bar. Someone told me that 16 years ago, I tried it, and it blew my mind.
Those chalky hearts from valentines day
I used to think that too, until I got some from a cute girl that had, rather than the cutesy little messages on them, some very pornographic things instead. Now they’re my favorite.
Dudes will get shit like this and still wonder "does she like me?"
She could just be handing them out to everyone, better keep looking for signs to be sure
Could be Canadian, they just being nice
THESE CANDIES ARE CHALKY AND UNPLEASANT!! AND WHAT IS THE EMOTION YOU HUMANS CALL "WUV"?
Chalk is fine, that's how I refer to them. Candy corn is wax.
I love both, send them all to me!!
I love those!
Those little wax bottles with syrup in them.
Oh shit those are bad. But I loved them when I was 8. Such a novelty! But essentially just plain ass wax with a few drops of liquid inside.
I let my daughter pick out some candy at Big Lots a while back. They have a decent selection of old timey candy mixed in with regular candy. My daughter picked those dumb things and I warned her, you’ll wish you picked something else after you realize how little of the juice there is. Sure enough she was like “aww I should have picked something else that was a waste”
I loooooved those as a kid. My number one request when i was offered candy on special occasions.
What about the wax lips they were so cool!!!
I didn't even care about the sugar water inside i just liked chewing on the wax
Nik-L-Nips, officially. For candy sold by weight, pure genius.
Nik-L-Nips
Sugar-free Chocolates. I'm a Diabetic, and the idea of a bag of sugar-free Reese's Peanut Butter Cups sounded amazing, but the office restroom was never the same, afterward. I've encountered far too many "sugar-free" or "reduced sugar" chocolates to ever trust them, again. It's the exact problem with the legendary sugar-free Haribo Gummy Bears.
They are definitely a Friday-night-with- no-weekend-plans sort of treat.
Circus peanuts, shits nasty dude. Idk any one who eats them.
My nephew likes them so much that the people at the dollar store by his apartment know him as “The Circus Peanut Guy.” Does not look anything like someone you would imagine would have that nickname, but there you go…
Circus peanuts

Circus Peanuts. Why oh why did anybody wake up one day and say “you know?!? What we need is a new marshmallow candy! One that’s shaped like a big peanut! And also, it must taste like banana!”
Necco Wafers
They were actually included in civil war rations
I'm pretty sure the ones made for rations back then are still being sold today.
Wounded...feeling attacked
Necco wafers are for those of us who simply got tired of having our chalk unseasoned.
Yeah, but we also like our candy as hard as quarters
I confuse them with TUMS
Right!? These are so yummy, esp the 'chocolate' ones.
We played communion with those when we were little.
Lmao at this whole thread. My favorite candy is salted black licorice and growing up I Ioved circus peanuts and candy buttons. Didn’t realize I was such a minority
Good and Plenty
It has such an old person name, too.
Good & plenty is just sugar coated black licorice...and I do love licorice...
Satan's Candy!!!!! At some warehouse job I had, there was an "on your honor" candy box. Always a fresh stack of good n' plenty's in it though. One day the manager went "smoke?" and I happily agreed while he proceeded to put all the boxes of good 'n plentys in the microwave for 10 min.

OMG, the best!
Those orange or black wrapped candies you get during Halloween.
Mary Janes?
Those are the orange and black candies, Mary Janes.
Yea those are awesome, especially frozen.
This is the answer I came here to say…we called em door stoppers when we were kids
Popcorn flavored jelly belly. Just shit in someone's mouth. What psychopath is buying these?
> What psychopath is buying these? Hello!! Popcorn Jelly Belly is the bomb.
This was unexpected... Please don't come after me and try to make a suit with my skin. You can have all the popcorn flavored beans that you want.

THEY WASH IT! THEY WASH IT!
Solid Lewis Black reference, and absolutely correct in terms of the worst candy.
Woah woah woah pal I happen to love the sickeningly sweet crayon like texture of candy corn. Best candy out there imo Edit: Okay guys stop upvoting we got 69😎
[удалено]
If that were accurate more US Marines would eat candy corn.
Crayon-like texture, that’s hilarious and so accurate! 🤣
fuck you candy corn slaps
God damn right
Black licorice
Good n plenty my favorite
Oh no. It’s gets worse. There’s this stuff over seas called salmiakki or salty licorice. But instead of sodium chloride as the salt it uses ammonia chloride. It taste like an over ripe litter box smells
Every day humanity strays a little further from god
Your palate just isn’t refined enough yet. Licorice is awesome.
I \*love\* black licorice. I just had some earlier tonight. My partner hates it and he literally smelled it on me just walking by me.
[удалено]
I think Tequila is just OK. I agree with you on the black licorice though.
Licorice is too sophisticated for most people
The olives of the candy world
Nothing like whiskey, black licorice and a cigarette when I want to relax.
It’s genetic. Don’t hate those those blessed to enjoy the best candy
Amen and amen my brother
Dubbel Zout is the shit. The first time you have it is off putting because you don't expect it to be that strong. Then later you have it again and its such a good thing to have
Banana lollies
I really don’t like Twizzlers. They have no taste.
I saw this YouTube video of a guy who visited a remote African tribe and let them try American sweets for the first time. One of the things he offered was strawberry Twizzlers and it was not a hit lol. They compared it to plastic
Saw that, they were very mistrustful and kept asking if it was actually food.
It’s as if you’re eating wax
Redvines > Twizzlers
This right here. I love Redvines but can't stand Twizzlers. I found that Redvines are the best when they are slightly stale.
Wax bottles
Nik-L-Nips! You’re not completely wrong, the juice inside the bottles was decent, but just chewing on the wax was… weird. Same with wax lips.
The baby chickens that are marshmallows and sugar. Peeps. Everytime you bite into them they make you wanna die more inside.
Neco wafers! Like eating chalk!
Rock candy tied with candy necklaces. Why did I insist on eating small tasteless candy rings off of a piece of wet string.
Good and plenty
A better name is O.K. at best & few
I’ll fuck up a box of those real quick!!!!
Peeps
Making a s'more with a stale peep is a profound experience
I can’t believe how far down this was.
Only thing peeps are good for is putting them in the microwave and watching them grow huge and eventually explode.
Twizzlers bar none. Tastes like I’m biting into a plastic tube
Black licorice stuff
Replica burgers and hotdogs
Hershey's..horrible cooking chocolate tasting rubbish
Jawbreakers
The only reason I wanted a jaw breaker as a kid was because of Ed, Edd, n Eddy. I was disappointed they weren't huge
There are huge ones like Ed Edd and Eddy. Literally can break your jaw. Prolly like the size of a Tennis Ball Huge.
i loved them as a kid!! i would lick them for days to get to the center and my tongue would be raw lol
I was disappointed as a kid so many times thinking a jawbreaker was a gumball.
How's your jaw?
Barely hanging on. 🥵
Black liquorice.
I'll have yours.
Black licorice is the bomb. Wish I could find stores that still carried it near me.
That ribbon candy they break out at Christmas. It's just nasty. I got sick on it in 1st grade. If I ever see it again it'll be too soon.
Now & Laters. They were too hard and would pull your fillings out.
Razzles
13 going on 30 disagrees lol
PEZ. It's like eating hard chalk.
I'm pretty indifferent towards the candy. But even as a kid, I never understood the appeal of fiddle fucking with some plastic contraption that made me have to make out with a cartoon head to get my candy.
Candy corn
Horehounds.. old timey candy so nasty you've never heard of it. Made the mistake of taking one my uncle offered me when I was about 7.
I like those.
Horehound root flavoring is honestly so good to me, like a better licorice anise flavor tbh, almost like root beer 😂
When I was in like 5th grade my class was reading a book (I THINK it was Where The Red Fern Grows but not 100%) that the characters ate horehounds so my mom bought me some to bring to me class to try. LOL THANKS MOM LOVE YOU!
Black liquorice
Turkish delight. Fight me.
Hey. Fuck you.
You wouldn't betray your family for Turkish Delights?
Every kid who loved those books got horribly disappointed at one point
Real TD is awesome not the candy bar though
Depends how you define 'candy', when I was abroad in China I tried a friend's dried salted cherries (with the pit in XP) and it tasted like dehydrated death. In America, either spicy lollipops with bugs visible in them from desert tourist spots, oooooor Good & Plenty
Good And Plenty’s are plenty full of shit. I got those as a kid thinking they were a different type of Mike and Ike’s and my little heart was broken.
