...gummy candies over chocolate. The one common one I will absolutely steal from my kids bags are the big gummy Lifesavers.
Smarties and DumDums are easily my least favorite.
Kids have it good now though. We had so many elderly people around where I grew up that I'd inevitably come home with a bag half full of those wrapped popcorn balls and mini boxes of raisins. Assholes.
” There is also debate about the most appropriate or “proper” way to eat candy corn. Some insist that the white tip of the piece of candy should be eaten first, others say that the thicker yellow end should be eaten first, and some also suggest that candy corn should be eaten whole.”
How say thee?
hands down the absolute worst tasting candy ever to exist...
Black licorice. Last time I took a bite of one, I spit it out and immediatly brushed my teeth to get rid of the taste in my mouth.
It's just God-awful. The red is fine.
When I was a kid, getting a full sized Hershey bar was the best.
Or a Reese's Peanut Butter cup.
Candy corn was like eating wax and Whoppers sucked.

the proper way to eat candy corn is to flush it down the toilet.
This is the right answer. I remember these terrible candies from when I was a kid, so someone help me out here. They came in a wax-paper like wrapper and had the consistency of taffy, and the wrapper was orange but I think it came in black also. Just terrible.
The worst. But I also don't even count Circus Peanuts as candy. Do people even still give those out? They don't even come in a wrapper, so who would eat those these days?
I was right there with you until I had kids. Those damn things were always the last thing left in the house three weeks after H-ween, so in a pinch, I trained myself to muscle them down. I suppose I have developed a tolerance - and maybe even a liking - for them now...
mentioned I have a hard time believing gets passed out on Halloween.
Black licorice? Circus peanuts? Mary Janes? Apples (which aren't even candy)? Even candy corn, which is of course associated with halloween doesn't really get passed out on halloween. A bowl at a party maybe, but even then not so much.
apples still aren't candy no matter how you interpret the criteria.
And black licorice, my guess is almost anyone who has that as their response never received black licorice trick or treating or at a Halloween party.
And circus peanuts too, pretty sure those little Styrofoam peanut shaped creamsicle colored mashmallows(?) never saw the inside of a trick or treating bag either.
Some of us should have read the rules more throughly. It’s weird that people just named candy they didn’t like on a thread specifically about candy you didn’t like that is traditionally handed out on Halloween.
And apples? Fuck that guy. Idiot didn’t even know apples aren’t candy.

Sorry I should have been more clear. I hate people who think apples and raisins are Halloween candy.

I think your commentary, policing the thread police, ruin it more for everyone. but thanks for doing what you do.
this. they taste like what I imagine moth balls would taste like.
and obviously candy corns are second worst.
Haha, I was scanning the thread and read this as:

lol, hey I can't comment on what your mind jumps to when you misread written words. Freud probably has an opinion on it, but I'm a little under qualified (though it's never stopped me before).

I generally like your posts, pj. This seems a little out of character.

Candy corn should be illegal.

Reeses
Wachamacallits
Sour gummy candies
Snickers

I was going to say the same thing to you. Bad day? Salty about another Giants loss? All understandable.
