what's your least favorite candy?

[DGoddessChardonnay]

I'm not a big candy eater these days, however there are a few things I won't touch with a 29 and a half foot pole . . .

Circus Peanuts - just ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Twizzlers - frankly, I'd rather eat Vaseline.

Anything spearmint-flavored: the smell alone makes me want to

Jawbreakers - can't handle them as I have enough issues with my teeth as it is.

Now-And-Laters - used to love 'em but since I had fillings they stick too bad to enjoy.

And anything that's covered with White Chocolate - taste too much like vanilla to me.

Sorry guys, but I can't relate. If you put candy of any sort in front of me it'll be gone within a heartbeat.

Nestle Crunch. Hate those. Ditto black licorice and Three Musketeers. Jordan almonds, they're just too damn hard. And circus peanuts, blechhhh!

I love Smoothies, Snickers, Baby Ruth, Mallow Cups, Peanut M&M's, Almond Joy & Mounds. But my favorite of all is orange chocolate. It is Divine.

Black licorice, any candy that tastes like Robitusson, candy corn, and DARK CHOCOLATE.

Puke.

After spending the better part of 8 hours stocking Christmas candy, I have to say I hate all candy right now.



Irv, my grocery store sold out of 99% of Halloween candy. We had customers who ran out of candy to give out after the first hour of trick or treating.

There is only one candy I have ever met that I cannot stomach at all.

Buttered Popcorn Jelly Bellies.

Those have got the be the foulest, nastiest candy ever conceived. One taste and I spit them out.

I don't care for a handful of others.

And I actively like candy corm, so can I has all your guys'?

^-.-^

No! You most certainly can NOT! I like candy corn (and those stupid pumpkins int eh Brach's autumn mix which are basically giant candy corns).

[iradney]

Fisherman's Friend - it's salted liquorice - grossy gross mcgrossgross!!!!
Candy corn - sorry, one or two pieces is fine, then I'm all "yeah, that's enough".
OLD CHOCOLATE - gah!!!!

[Gravekeeper]

...the ones that are in those black or orange wrappers around the halloween season..blah ><

These. What in God's name are they and where do they come from? They're completely unlabelled, totally untracable, yet appear by the metric ton every Halloween.

They taste like sadness took a squat over a piece of wax paper. Nobody likes them. Yet people buy em and hand em out every damn year.

I love black licorice-- particularly the super-strong stuff that's strong enough to numb one's tongue like menthol or cloves do.
I HATE watermelon "flavored" candy-- it tastes salty and sweaty in a very bad way, no matter what.
EDIT: circus peanuts are teh best0rz when stale. :3

I agree with this description entirely. I can't stand them.

Hate black licorice.

Do not like most peanut butter things. I like Reese's and their ilk, and peanut butter M&Ms, but anything else peanut butter-flavored? Yuck. [I don't even like peanut butter COOKIES.]

White chocolate. It does not taste like chocolate to me. It tastes like sadness and evil trying to masquerade itself as chocolate.

Anything sour...just don't like. Although I can sometimes choke down a sour patch kid.

Anything cinnamon-flavored or "HOT" flavored, like those cinnamon bears or atomic warheads. They burn my mouth off, I'm too sensitive to that shit.

I know there's more, but I can't think of it right off.

There's a lot of debate on whether or not white chocolate can be considered real chocolate. White chocolate does have the cocoa butter aspect, but it lacks the cocoa solids that other forms of chocolate have. I'm not much a fan of the stuff either. It's too sweet for me. I much prefer a nice piece of extremely dark chocolate.

[Eisa]

Mmmm, dark chocolate is like heaven. That was my favorite birthday present last year--my bf got me a whole box of really, really awesome dark chocolate.

THIS!!! I also hate it when people make chocolate-dipped pretzels and stuff with "almond bark"...is that stuff even chocolate? Using real chocolate is so much better! (I also love dark chocolate.)

I don't like things that are banana or orange flavored....ick. It gives me bad memories of icky flavored medicine. Certain cherry flavored things can give me the same reaction.

Honestly, if it's sweet and it's not chocolate, I usually don't bother.

They're called Mary Jane Kisses. They're conceived and manufactured by people who spend a bit too much time around Mary Jane, and they taste like you're literally kissing an ass. Or at least what you'd imagine kissing an ass to taste like.

For some reason they're a big hit among the walking deceased that pass for citizens of my fair city.

Irv, my grocery store sold out of 99% of Halloween candy. We had customers who ran out of candy to give out after the first hour of trick or treating.

Big mistake Bella--rant engaged:

What I didn't mention in my earlier post--the big, dump-bin boxes full of Snickers, Milky Way, Mounds, the aforementioned Mary Jane Kisses. They come up to my waistline and I had thought they were completely full of bags of candy. They weren't--only about 3/4s full. The bottoms of the boxes are reinforced.

I didn't have to do anything with that candy, but we will have to box it up and backstock it pretty soon since we're now busy setting new mall aisle spots and endcaps and just generally making like Halloween never happened.

And then that candy will just rot away in the backroom, we'll have to count it all, bag by bag, when inventory comes next year (last check of my scanner showed us having something like 600 bags of snickers on hand), and we'll toss it when it hits its expiration date because there's no way in hell it will all sell through in time.

So we'll just be sitting on a metric fuckton of candy. Just like the 500 or so 30-packs of clothes hangers and the 500 or so pillows the DC sent in that we thought were going to be part of bigger sales, but weren't and we're just sitting on them.

Our buyers are complete imbeciles, and if it were up to me they wouldn't have lives jobs any more.
