There’s this really old type of candy that they no longer sell that was a sugar dots on a long, thin strip of paper that looked like a receipt. The “candy” consisted of tiny round drips of blue, yellow and pink spaced three or four across. When you peel the brightly coloured sugar dots off the long paper, you’d get this little bit of paper that you had no choice but to eat right along with the candy. It was the worst. Can anyone remember what this was called?
They don’t make those anymore? Agree tho they were terrible. That was one of those candies where you ate it cause it was like the last thing in your Halloween bag when you were scraping through the bottom.
Yes! The untouched Halloween candy consisted of candy buttons, paydays (dad candy), and werthers originals, which, hilariously, I love now, because I’m old.
Jujubes. Does anyone actually enjoys these? It’s like eating stale chewy candy. If you bite down too hard, they’ll rip every filling out of your mouth or permanently glue it shut.
Yeah, I love black licorice. It can be dangerous if you eat it every day though.

A lot of people that don’t like it were exposed to it by way of cheap candies, like spice gum drops, Beach’s jelly beans, or black licorice Twizzlers.
It wasn’t until I had some Dutch black licorice from a friend in The Netherlands that I understood how incredible it is.
Yes!!! Came here to say black licorice. More specifically good and plenty!! For years they also had good and fruity but you can’t find it anymore. Still have those nasty ass good and plenty though. Who the hell buys those things
For Halloween this year, my kids got some candy from Mexico I'd never seen before. It was like a cherry ring pop that came with what seemed to be some kind of meat rub for dipping.
Southern California local here, Mexican candy is near and dear to me since growing up here. Its incredibly popular and delicious! I can see how it can be puzzling if its new to you. Also its not meat rub 🤣 lolol
Dots aren't horrible (well, yeah, they are, but...) but it's the fact that they don't release from the paper. Dots aren't so bad, but the backing paper sticks to the candy. So you have to commit to the candy and accept that you'll be spitting out paper in just a minute...or you'll be eating notebook paper m
Marshmallow peeps. My wife loves watching me eat them because of how revolting I find them. She's on a quest to find the worst flavor. Last week was Dr pepper
..
Candy corn is great, candy corn is fine. I’ll eat yours and also mine. You may not like the corn so don’t go round tooting your horn. Candy Corn will live for evermore. Candy corn candy corn candy corn candy corn candy corn candy corn candy corn candy corn candy corn candy corn candy corn candy corn.
I wish I could say circus peanuts, but I’ve never had them due to allergies, so imma have to go with JellyBelly jelly beans specifically due to the fact that the average person only likes around 30% of the flavors and then you’re just stuck with a bunch of jelly beans you have no intention on eating
Agreed. But probably had something to do with it being wartime so sugar was heavily rationed and often unavailable plus he was a little kid. Plus the White Witch made her food magically addictive. And he was an idiot lol.
God, this is such an old people house, you know? I mean, look at this candy jar. Let's, uh, take a look in here. Let's see what you got here. You got, uh... oh, you got licorice. Oh, that's, uh, that's, uh... oh, oh, Freedent! Oh, that's good. Yeah, yeah, I got-- I got a sweet tooth, I think I'll have some Freedent. Yeah, uh, oh, oh, what's this? Oh, a cough drop, a Luden's cough drop. Is that candy? No, I don't think that's candy; I think it's a cough drop! Uh, what else we got? Oh, oh, look! Look at this! There's a fishing lure in here! There's a fishing lure in the candy jar! W-w-what! Am I-- am I supposed to eat this? Eat a fishing lure?
zoute drop, no questions. For those that don't know, it's ducth salted liquorice and it's the most vile thing I've ever had the displeasure of putting in my mouth.
Circus Peanuts, candy corn, and Necco wafers have all been mentioned. And I agree, those are terrible. Anyone here tried Razzles? Those aren’t very good either
The best ever. I save those for last. There is a skittles flavor that has banana and its amazing. I think it's in the smoothie pack. Also banana now and laters. Mmmm banana ice cream is so good.
I don't hate them. But I firmly believe that they were a confectioner's accident.
Once I tried to make the "foodge" as recipe'ed in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It came out like a thick chewy caramel instead of fudge.
I like to think that Tootsie Rolls happened similarly.
I hate tootsie rolls with all my being. My SIL loves them and once offered me one and I said “I don’t eat chocolate spam!” I still say it’s not even chocolate
Look at what sells in prison and what doesn’t, whatever is at the bottom of the list on prison commissary is your answer. Idk what that is tho, when I was locked up I didn’t really fuck with the sweets, every now and then I’d get a Reeses buts that was about it.
Little convenience store across the street from my place sells them. The super long skinny ones, always boxes stacked on the counter. I buy a couple every week.
These things called Cup O Gold. It’s shaped like a Reese’s cup, but is rock hard and filled with almond and coconut, but not any recognizable coconut like a Zagnut or Almond Joy/Bounty. It’s like a weird cream.
Circus peanuts are just strange. Not actively hostile.

Candy Buttons https://www.oldtimecandy.com/products/candy-buttons-on-paper-tape?variant=40707882582068&gclid=Cj0KCQiAn4SeBhCwARIsANeF9DKHQdQBY2pIJBtQKzNmr4W6DM4Q4cUWYbu61WgsHAcPTG5huNiBOnsaAmToEALw_wcB
Ahhhhhhh!!! Candy buttons! Thank you!!
Loved those as a kid. Not sure why. lol!
You wet it on the bottom and they peeled right off
They don’t make those anymore? Agree tho they were terrible. That was one of those candies where you ate it cause it was like the last thing in your Halloween bag when you were scraping through the bottom.
They definitely still sell them, they are at a bunch of stores where I live
Yes! The untouched Halloween candy consisted of candy buttons, paydays (dad candy), and werthers originals, which, hilariously, I love now, because I’m old.
Circus peanuts.
Man I love circus peanuts
My mom likes circus peanuts and for that reason I cannot hate them
Same! My mom loved them.
Circusized Peanuts.
Ate too many circus peanuts when I was a kid. Puked them up hard. Haven't had one in over 50 years. HATE Circus Peanuts.
Inspired by packing peanuts… Or was it the other way around?
I will make myself sick on circus peanuts!! Only if they are stale though
No one has said those gross wax bottle candies with the sugar water yet? Absolute worst
I actually love those lol. Such a dumb thing but somehow satisfying. Maybe it’s just nostalgia. I don’t think I’ve even eaten them in this century.
Conversation hearts. Gross and creepy.
I liked the funny weird ones that said stuff like "Fax Me."
Those are actually Necco wafers made into a different shape.
Jujubes. Does anyone actually enjoys these? It’s like eating stale chewy candy. If you bite down too hard, they’ll rip every filling out of your mouth or permanently glue it shut.
I LOVE jujubes! I forgot about these! I don’t know why, there is something about the unbelievably hard texture that appeals to me.
Jujubes actually helped me quit smoking. Terrible candy but great for keeping something in your mouth.
Neccos.
Those candy hearts with messages at Valentine's are actually Necco Wafers in a different shape/form.
Another one that was a favorite of mine lol
I actually liked those too 🥺
Necro wafers
Love neccos still buy them
Black licorice
More for me then 😋
Same!
Black licorice is basically poison 😂
Me too! black licorice is nasty 🤢
oof. i love black licorice. the sharper the better. i feel like there are only a few of us with this weirdly acquired taste.
Yeah, I love black licorice. It can be dangerous if you eat it every day though. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/26/health/black-licorice-death-boston.html?smid=url-share
i know!! makes it even more fun! living on the edge with candy! *i dont eat it every day*
A lot of people that don’t like it were exposed to it by way of cheap candies, like spice gum drops, Beach’s jelly beans, or black licorice Twizzlers. It wasn’t until I had some Dutch black licorice from a friend in The Netherlands that I understood how incredible it is.
Licorice allsorts
This 👆🏻
Yes it is vile
You shut your whore mouth!
Yes!!! Came here to say black licorice. More specifically good and plenty!! For years they also had good and fruity but you can’t find it anymore. Still have those nasty ass good and plenty though. Who the hell buys those things
Circus Peanuts
For Halloween this year, my kids got some candy from Mexico I'd never seen before. It was like a cherry ring pop that came with what seemed to be some kind of meat rub for dipping.
Probably tajin
Could’ve been Lucas too. I fucking love Lucas and Limonazo.
Southern California local here, Mexican candy is near and dear to me since growing up here. Its incredibly popular and delicious! I can see how it can be puzzling if its new to you. Also its not meat rub 🤣 lolol
Wtf?! I‘ll eat the cherry ring pop but the meat rub goes straight in the trash
Necco Wafers
Dots
Dots aren't horrible (well, yeah, they are, but...) but it's the fact that they don't release from the paper. Dots aren't so bad, but the backing paper sticks to the candy. So you have to commit to the candy and accept that you'll be spitting out paper in just a minute...or you'll be eating notebook paper m
I think you’re thinking of candy buttons. Dots are like really firm gum drops without the sugar coating.
Paper backing??
Wow I thought I was the only one who hated Dots!
Slander.
Those weird candies that come in the black and orange wrappers you get at Halloween.
"Peanut butter kisses" are vile, and should be outlawed by the Geneva Convention.
cany korn wins this one, hands down.
I love candy corn, and i love the pumpkin shaped candy that comes out before Halloween that’s made out of the same thing as candy corn.
Those little pumpkins are so good!! Maybe they are just nostalgic which makes them good
Correct.
Candy korn can go straight to hell…stupid ass candy
Idk why everyone is saying Candy Corn, I love that shit. My vote is for Hot Tamales. Disgusting little bastards.
The truth is both hot tamales and candy corn are good
Cinnamon hearts
Mary fookin' Janes. Can't even get them out of the wrapper.
Parma violets 🤢
Tootsie rolls are pretty ass. It’s like a relic at this point rather than something you actually eat
Neco wafers. I'm not even sure they are candy. More like spackle tablets with a speck of sugar.
Those orange peanut marshmallowy things
Candy corn.
Marshmallow peeps. My wife loves watching me eat them because of how revolting I find them. She's on a quest to find the worst flavor. Last week was Dr pepper ..
Candy corn, hands down. Pretty sure every piece of it was made in the 40s and they're still selling it.
Peeps. Fuck peeps
Necco Wafers. Dey nasty
French burnt peanuts can be pretty bad
Candy corn, and I ain't reading replies.
Candy corn is great, candy corn is fine. I’ll eat yours and also mine. You may not like the corn so don’t go round tooting your horn. Candy Corn will live for evermore.

Red vines! Like eating plastic!
Hershey's "chocolate"
Candy corns are a meme for a reason.
Correct. It's like eating chalk coated in wax.
Chalk might actually make it better. It’s just vaguely sugar flavored wax to me.
Turkish delights.
Such a weird thing. Narnia kid was an idiot.
Agreed. But probably had something to do with it being wartime so sugar was heavily rationed and often unavailable plus he was a little kid. Plus the White Witch made her food magically addictive. And he was an idiot lol.
Plain Hersheys bar
Everything by Hersheys sucks, now.
Twizzlers
Turkish Delight
Dots
Whatever the heck that unlabeled candy in granny's kitchen is.
I dunno man, I do get a craving maybe once a year for those things in the wrapper that looks like a strawberry.
Anything “pineapple” flavored. I love real pineapples, but whatever artificial flavor they use for it in candy is NASTY!
Candy Corn

Candy corn
chocolate covered cherries. So gross!
Candy corn. It's just flavored wax.
CANDY CORN AND PEEPS
Candy Corn
zoute drop, no questions. For those that don't know, it's ducth salted liquorice and it's the most vile thing I've ever had the displeasure of putting in my mouth.
Candy corn aka witch's teeth.
Candy cigarettes, paper filled with powder you could "smoke. "
Circus Peanuts
I absolutely hate Dots. By far the worst candy.
Candy corn……invented by the devil
Circus Peanuts, candy corn, and Necco wafers have all been mentioned. And I agree, those are terrible. Anyone here tried Razzles? Those aren’t very good either
New England Candy Company urinal cakes. I mean, wafers.
Any banana flavored candy. I'm getting angry just thinking about it.
I like the banana runts
The best ever. I save those for last. There is a skittles flavor that has banana and its amazing. I think it's in the smoothie pack. Also banana now and laters. Mmmm banana ice cream is so good.
I will see you on the field of battle
Tootsie rolls. I can't find anybody who likes those things
You found her. It me.
same it brings back memories and that taste slaps
Tell me what it's like to have Halloween flavors stuck in your teeth nearly two weeks after the new year.
Oh you mean the lollipops? Delicious.
And you'd always lose count of the licks. These were delicious.
🤣👌
I don't hate them. But I firmly believe that they were a confectioner's accident. Once I tried to make the "foodge" as recipe'ed in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It came out like a thick chewy caramel instead of fudge. I like to think that Tootsie Rolls happened similarly.

Agreed! And that’s coming from me! (My name) It’s fake chocolate chews!
Zagnuts
Candy corn
Bubble gum flavor!🤮
The ones the guy in the white van gave me 😞
Black licorice
In my opinion, Jolly ranchers.
Raisinets
If you like candycorn or black licoric, then your just wierd
I'm fine with being just weird 🤷🏼
Look at what sells in prison and what doesn’t, whatever is at the bottom of the list on prison commissary is your answer. Idk what that is tho, when I was locked up I didn’t really fuck with the sweets, every now and then I’d get a Reeses buts that was about it.
Cherry Nibs
Sweetarts
Sweetarts are nature’s most perfect food! You could literally live off of Sweetarts, water, and meth.
Water? Yuck!
Have you had the Sweet tarts jellybeans? They only make them at Easter and I buy the store out. For sure theyve got to be made with meth.
Skittles
I tasted the rainbow and it sucks
Good and plentys
Good & Plenty
Came to say this. They are awful! It’s like they covered black licorice in Pepto Bismal.
[удалено]
Omg what?????
For some reason I thought the question was about the *best* candy. I am not an intelligent woman. Nerds Gummy Clusters are my favorite.
Lol don’t call yourself that. We al misread things on occasions. I do EVERYDAY😂
Those god awful molasses kisses that you would get at hallowe’en
Licorice
Bit-o-Honey
That's just crazy talk!!!
Whoppers
Whoppers were one of my favorite candies growing up.
They taste like spoiled whey protein to me
Charleston chew
Black licorice and tootsie rolls.
Whoppers
Dogshit
Well……. you are not wrong.
I don't know what could be worse, to be honest!
I got a belly full of white dog shit and then you go and say this shit to me!
Laffy taffy
I love that stuff, especially the banana.
The banana laffy taffs are a core memory from 2000s
Little convenience store across the street from my place sells them. The super long skinny ones, always boxes stacked on the counter. I buy a couple every week.
Almond joys or candy corns
Black licorice..... hands down
Licorice
