Quote HistoryQuoted: The worst candy I've ever had was some of that weird Scandinavian licorice flavored with ammonium chloride. Normal licorice is at least edible, but not something I'll seek out. I think the disconnect is that it arguably doesn't belong in the overall "candy" category. While it doesn't taste like any of these things, it's much more like the experience of a strong cigar, Islay Scotch Whiskey, or unusually strong hot sauce.  |

I have two that are the worst and who ever invented them needs to be jailed
Candy Corn is the first one, just plain disgusting  And the second one, the smell makes me want to throw up  I used to car pool with a guy to work that would eat a pack of the Chowards on the way to work, after about a week I told him if did not stop, no more car pooling with him |

The wax bottles of sugared up water with purple die are in the running for top two.
Artificial banana flavored candy in a twist on wrapper is worst. Plus its a trickster that looks close enough to the lemon flavored version, so it's evil, too. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, candy corn is more of a Halloween nostalgia thing for me than anything. As per your recommendation, I have mixed them in a small bowl with roasted peanuts in Halloween season for my family and I, back when my kids were young and it improved the taste significantly. Worst candy for me, since I was a kid, is those small, different colored "traditional Christmas candies". I've never understood the appeal. Seems like one of those strange, rather meaningless traditions of something not intended for human consumption. Just like parsley sprigs served with meat dishes when I was a kid growing up in the 1960s. Back then if my parents or grandparents ordered steak in a restaurant it always seemed to come with a very small amount of parsley on the side. I can recall seeing parsley come on plates at restaurants - but have never seen the parsley eaten. Iirc, my mom once told me the parsley was to cleanse the palate. I think the ginger that comes with sushi does a better job.  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Mix candy corn with salted peanuts. It tastes just like a payday candy bar. Circus peanuts are disgusting. The wintergreen candies are made from Pepto Bismol. I can see why some people like them as medicine flavored candy seems to be a thing with people. Cherry Starburst are an example. Taste just like cough syrup. I wish they would bring back the lime flavored ones. UK Starburst still have them. Yeah, candy corn is more of a Halloween nostalgia thing for me than anything.
