  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I've Never had those. I don't think I'll be trying them! 😉

    This post should be enough to bring the Dislike button back.

    Bubble gum Jelly Belly's are OK, much better than the buttered popcorn ones (the worst candy ever).

    I seriously love the popcorn ones.

    Also Whoppers are a little weird.

    circus peanuts are a waste of money, worse candy ever

    Chalk with a hint of waxy chocolate, yum. No idea how anyone thought that was a good idea.

    I'll start setting them aside and ship when I have a Medium Flat Rate box full, like used toploaders B)

    i would make my worst enemy eat a bag of circus peanuts

    but peeps are arguably the worst crime against humanity that's ever masqueraded as dessert

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

  • arteeartee Posts: 757 ✭✭✭

    Agreed. Peeps are more desert than dessert!

    1. Necco wafers.
    2. good and plenty
    3. Heath bar*

    *Many like the wretched bars, I don't. The first two should not qualify as candy but I think that they do.

    At my current rate of mixed bags of Jelly Bellys it should only take about 55 more years ;) The single flavor Dr. Pepper bags are where it's at (or if someone's touring the factory and is kind enough to grab me a bag of Tabasco).

  • maplemanmapleman Posts: 1,052 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Necco wafers far and away the worst ever.

  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,022 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Anyone mention black jelly beans yet?

    I mean you've got to be kidding me. Those distasteful things must be for those who enjoy being gluttons for punishment. LOL

    I can’t go with the single flavors. I like the mystery with each bean.

    Popcorn is the treat. But the d@mn bubblegum is like drinking orange juice after you just brushed your teeth.

    The sweet wouldnt be as sweet without the sour, I guess. But still.

    Jelly Belly doesn't, but I can usually find other brands of them around Easter.

    Long gone I am sure are the candy cigarettes which were made of white plaster with some red dye on the tip.

    Yes, I used to love the candy cigarettes. When I was young, I would pretend to smoke them, and at the same time throw back a shot of maple syrup, so I would have my booze and cigarettes. The smoke bone is connected to the drink bone. These days, I just stick to sniffing glue. 😉

  • arteeartee Posts: 757 ✭✭✭

    Those candy cigarettes probably caused cancer, too.

  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,022 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't know if that candy called Good and Plenty has been mentioned yet.

    I'm not sure about today, but when i was a kid on kid's shows, they use to advertise that chit on TV all the time.

    I tried it once and practically gagged on it.

    If i was a prisoner in a North Korea POW camp, starving for something sweet, and they offered that, i would graciously say, "Thank you, but no."

    While you were just a gleam in BMM's eye, they made real looking paper cigs, and smoke (some powder?) would come out the hole in the red tip.

    BMM used Crest.

  • DrBusterDrBuster Posts: 5,379 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Candy cigarettes are still around, regular and gum ones. There is a candy warehouse site that has everything...had to find cinnamon jolly ranchers there since I was craving a middle school skating rink candy rush from the 80s and you just can't find them around here...

    Necco wafers tops my list, no matter how sinister your taste buds are, there is just no enjoyment in food coloring flavored chalk discs.

    I liked those. Those paper straws with the powder in them were pretty bad.

    Drum roll....the dentist's favorite for kids. The only way to eat these was to freeze them, then smash them into pieces. I do admit to having enjoyed the banana and chocolate bars. Yup available on Amazon!!

    Cola Flavored Gummy Bottles are very good, I think they are probably disliked by most though.

    I love all forms of black licorice, even/especially the salty version. So you all can send me yours!
