For me it would be candy corn, or dots.

Skittles, except it's 100% green apple skittles and no other flavors.

I love how they reverted green back to lime in the regular bag. They knew they blew it. You gotta know some higher up loved green apple and wanted it in every skittles bag. Fuck that person. You have terrible taste.

I'm glad to be able to purchase skittles again after a decade+ boycott

How about circus peanuts?

The first bite of circus peanuts tastes to me like an alien artificial intelligence had to create a sugary treat and only had petroleum by-products to make it with.

The second bite taste like accepting your fate.

Wait... Is it always the same circus or a brand named circus? What are circus peanuts?

Edit: Nope found it. WTF? Do they taste like peanuts?

Do they taste like peanuts?

No. They taste like chewy sugar rubber goo. Idk how to properly describe it, but I haven't eaten them since childhood.

They taste like candied styrofoam to me

[โ€“] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 days ago

Candied Styrofoam is a good description.

Joke's on you, I loved munching on those as a kid, they're basically savory candy!

Well to be fair i did tried once but noped out.

My aunt used to get the jello concentrate cubes. They were like intense jelly candy.

(For anyone who has not heard of them: they were in a box, like segmented chocolate bar. But super concentrated jello base. You would tear off 2-3 cubes and add hot water, then let it set. Or as a kid tear off a cube and munch on it.)

What you do is you let them dissolve in your mouth, do that and they turn into at least an A tier candy trust

Toxic Waste

Jell-O cubes. Unpackaged.

Lol, you're something else, candy corn?? That stuff is vile.

The worst I can say about dots is they're just sugar, albeit glued to paper.

Will you come organize my candy bowl this year? ๐Ÿ˜†

Thin chocolate coating on the outside, crunchy malted milk on the inside that will sort of melt in your mouth if you can resist chewing it. They are delicious and used to always come in a paper carton.

All in the same bowl

Good & Plenty and Mike and Ikes.

Gotta go with the good ol' "Spike & Ike's" where you mix in some Extra Hot Tamales.

Those licorice flavored taffy candies that are in a black and orange wrapper.

They are fucking gross as is most anise flavored things but their stickiness makes them worse than other things.

Whoppers are great! I don't understand the hate.

Crunchy, so I liked them since I'm a texture eater. But I get why people don't like them. It's almost chalky at times on the inside.
