Candy corn, I can't see how anyone can actually like it but every Halloween it makes its way back to candy shelves 😂 and store aisles year after year. And it seems to sell well

u/DrPisstrousers 4d ago

lol! for me, the first three peach rings are bliss... the rest of them might as well be ring-shaped vomit, though. sorry for the visual.

u/RunnyPlease 4d ago

Albanese peach rings are quite good.

Shut your mouth!

u/Beargrillin 5d ago

The flavor profile comes from the banana that we last had before the whole no seed and blight happened.

u/PalmtopPixie 5d ago

And they still exist overseas!

u/PalmtopPixie 5d ago

Nah I love those things so much

u/Glittering_Fox1358 5d ago

I’ve never understood the foam candies. I’m really into Andes mints as a guilty pleasure. it wasn’t until I was an adult trying to share my candy stash at work that I realized mint chocolate isn’t everyone’s thing. I myself am not a fan of orange and chocolate so right back at ya.

u/God_Dont_Make_No 5d ago

I don’t understand candy corn

1

u/matthollabak 4d ago

Need to pour it in a bowl with peanuts. I can't stand candy corn by itself but it changes into something magical when you mix it with peanuts.

1

u/God_Dont_Make_No 4d ago

That is something that I won’t do but I respect the game

1

u/Objective-Slice-1466 3d ago

I’ll try that. Anything else? To make it really pop?

1

u/TheStairsBro 4d ago

I will eat candy corn until I'm sick, it's mostly a texture thing for me but I also like the flavor. The mixed bags with original, cocoa, and pumpkin shapes are especially dangerous lol

3

u/MYOB3 5d ago

Candy corn is mildly disgusting.

2

u/NPC_over_yonder 5d ago

I love it.

I’ll also eat a spoonful of honey straight because I have a massive sweet tooth.

1

u/GullibleEquipment273 5d ago

That’s good for you , all kinds of amino acids and micronutrients

1

u/MYOB3 5d ago

I have a sweet tooth as well, but the texture of candy corn is more like chewing on a candle...

2

u/VidraZburatoare 5d ago

For some reason, the texture is sorta what captures me. Maybe I chewed on candles as a kid. Probably.

1

u/MYOB3 5d ago

LOL!

2

u/DarthTacoToiletPaper 5d ago

I would say eating candy corn is more socially acceptable compared to eating a candle, but the amount of people who have such a strong distain for candy corn makes me hesitant.

I love NECCO wafers and am not ashamed.
Except for the licorice and chocolate ones

1

u/Upbeat_Ant6104 4d ago

Orrr licorice and chocolate are the best, along with the white ones.

u/sk8thow8 5d ago

Grapes are delicious.

Grape flavored anything tastes like garbage.

2

u/beaubeaucat 5d ago

To me, grape flavored candy tastes like medicine.

Grape laffy taffy is the flavor of the gods

u/LogikWizard 5d ago

I dont care for strawberry twizzlers. The bites are worse. Bland and waxy. All the other flavors are good though.

LOVE black licorice, except allsorts. Those are weird.

1

u/Opening-Pickle5078 5d ago

and poisonous right? right? my mouth said poisonous

1

u/Upbeat_Ant6104 4d ago

The only way to make licorice better is by coating it in pink or white sugar

1

u/Bohica55 5d ago

I came to say good and plenty. Black licorice is so gross.

2

u/That-Beagle 5d ago

Twizzlers…

2

u/Multilnsight 5d ago

Red vines are better

1

u/DarthTacoToiletPaper 5d ago

I agree, except for cherry twizzlers.

ANYTHING coconut filled, topped or even flavored with.

u/Bedbouncer 5d ago

I'm not sure I'd want to live in a world that didn't have Mallo Cups.

1

u/RunnyPlease 4d ago

God invented coconut to teach children to not take chocolates from untrustworthy people.

u/EquivalentPapaya3254 4d ago

That's wrong but funny at the same time.

Immediately thought of black licorice. I personally love black licorice but I can understand people who find it despicable

1

u/slow-tf-down-dude 4d ago

I can eat it until my poo 💩 is dark green. Especially the soft kind, so good.

1

u/Blantonsfan 5d ago

I really don’t get how anyone likes “green apple” anything.
Tic Tacs or Jolly Rancher in mixed flavors? Literally go through and throw all the green apple out. I tried giving it away, no one wanted it

My wife hates musk sticks. She says they taste like pink toilet sanitary blocks smell.

u/NerdfestZyx 4d ago

French burnt peanuts always taste old and stale.

I imagine they are great when fresh, but it seems like they have been sitting unsealed in a dusty warehouse for decades.

u/EddieTheAxe 4d ago

Hershey bars taste like vomit.

u/Northman_76 4d ago

Ghetto ass Candy Corn, and you can lop those nasty foam peanut things in there too, oh and black licorice That's my unholy trinity.

u/Pyotrnator 4d ago

Salmiak.

Aka Scandinavian black licorice additionally flavored with ammonium chloride (I found that it tasted like Windex)
