Our list of all-time worst Halloween candies omits a number ofdismal confectionsdue to their relative rarity.
The same with thosestrawberry granny candies.
AsALT 101.7points out, spoiled milk is something that should be tossed, not turned into a candy.
(They’re no fans of Whoppers, also comparing the shape and texture to that of mothballs.)
Amazingly, Whoppers have been around in some form or other since 1939 (viaHersheyland).
Why is this old-timey candy still even still a thing?
Who is eating them?
And does anyone actually choose them over any other candy?
The fruit-flavored Tootsie Rolls don’t fare too much better.
Nerds
Nerds candy is just kind of meh.
They’re rather annoying to eat, too.
(Too expensive, even if they don’t have anyillicit add-ins.)
How do you even eat Nerds?
Also, points off for the insensitive name.
Not to mention, whenNerdscandies were first introduced back in 1983, the term was definitely a pejorative one.
Calling a candy after a term used to insult people, no matter how tongue-in-cheek, is never cool.
On the other hand, though, this Nordic nation also insists on sending us Swedish Fish.
What is the deal with this blandest of candies?
They’re like Sour Patch Kids, only without the sour.
Also without that slightly crunchy sugar coating that gives gummy candies a little texture.
says that Swedish Fish are made with carnauba wax, an ingredient also found in car polish.
The grossest thing about chewing on Twizzlers is that they have a very similar texture to an eraser.
Good & Plenty
Black licorice is just nasty.
Oh, and to make matters even worse, it turns out the stuff might even kill you!
You should be pretty safe if you leave the Good & Plenty to the kids.
People who buy huge bags of discount candy assortments?
Both candies are basically just non-medicinal Tums.
And yet, it’s never around at any other time of year.
Doesn’t that tell you something?
There’s a reason no-one wants Easter candy corn or Christmas candy corn.
So why does everyone hate candy corn so much?
We can explain it in just three words: It’s too sweet.
Way, way, too sweet.
Sweeter than Peeps, even, and a lot less cute.
