what's your least favorite candy?

[Mike Taylor]

Candy corn. And those peanut butter chew things they are rather waxy...the ones that are in those black or orange wrappers around the halloween season..blah ><

Oddly enough, I LOVE those.

However, I HATE Zero bars. Bleah.

Candies I don't like:

• black licorice
• peanut butter chews (Mary Jane Kisses)
• white chocolate (although I like white chocolate macadamia nut cookies)
• mallow cups
• Zero bars
• blue raspberry
• any other raspberry candies
• chocolate raspberry sticks with raspberry gelatin filling
• Necco wafers (must be a mixture of sugar and chalk)

Candies that I can tolerate in small doses, but that's it:

• candy corn
• Peeps
• circus peanuts
• burnt peanuts
• Boston Baked Beans

I like just about anything else, depending on my mood.

I dislike: Eat More chocolate bars..I dunno if they still make them, but they tasted awful; and black licorice..

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Irv, let me know how those cordial blueberries taste.

And as your official food taster, I say they're....pretty good.

I haven't seen them around here

I've only seen the Queen Anne cherries in one store, so far...

They come in a box similar to the cherries, except it'll be purplish-blue.

The company that makes them seems to be based in Chicago. So maybe it's a more regional, midwestern product? I dunno.

[Gawdzillers]

You guys are crazy. Black licorice is one of my favorites. Chocolate licorice, on the other hand...

I don't like those "fake-out" gumdrops. You know, it looks like lemon, but it's actually banana, looks like lime, but it's actually spearmint. I don't mind the actual flavors, but the deception is infuriating.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

There's gum drops and then there's spice drops.

I love gum drops, but spice drops? Not so much. Except for the mint and cinnamon ones, but the black ones are anise (aka licorice) and I don't like those.

[DGoddessChardonnay]

You'd know them if you saw them. They are also vomit inducing to the sight.

I brought this discussion to work with me the other night, and as soon as I said Mary Jane kisses, everyone's face went sour.

In that case, send your share of the Peeps my way. They will have a good home . . in my tummy.

[dalesys]

Aren't Mary Janes a shoe?

So Mary Jane Kisses ==>> kicked in the teeth?

[chrislb]

Eat a couple of them and you will beg to be kicked in the teeth.

I want candy bonus for reference (Hint: song)

Another candy I have to put up there on my "DO NOT WANT" list anything with coconut. Don't know why, just can't stand the taste. Havn't found a decent candy that contains Coconut yet.

*Hands Mytical an Almond Joy bar*

As far as least fave candy goes...anything with black licorice. That, and white, black and purple jelly beans.

[Bradester]

I concur with the disdain for black licorice. Lincoln actually has a little shop downtown that sells only licorice from around the world. Great for people like my mom, who can eat a handful of dark black licorice at a time, not so fun for me. There are some exceptions, including a fruity Australian licorice that is comparable to a high-quality Twizzler, and Irish licorice that tastes more like a toffee than anything.

As a general rule, I don't care for white 'chocolate.' Far too sweet. I enjoy the bitterness of dark chocolate.

I once ate some kind of blue peppermint abomination- I imagine Professor Snape would have concocted such a poisonous lozenge in his Death Eater days. It literally tasted like an infusion of peppermint and Mountain Fresh Pine-Sol. The taste was so bad that it came back to me in a dream- I was sick that following morning.

[Mytical]

Sorry Dendawg, Almond Joy and/or Mounds are probably two of my LEAST favorite coconut candies
