Whats the WORST tasteing candy?

[imsleestak]

I never liked those easter Marshmellow Peeps I always traded them for something else! Or those really big jellybeans with peppermint and licorice Yuk! Or anything with spicy Cinnamon in it! BARF!
Or those white candys with the red marks or swirl around the edges! YUK
Minty and mediciney candies SUCK!!!

[JP]

I never understood the point of licorice. The strawberry maybe, but whenever I used to try that nasty-assed black-tar licorice, it was immediatly fired out the window. Candy corn is as much of a mystery and what the hell was a Bit-O'-Honey supposed to be anyway? Tased nothing like honey. I'm asking. Also is it not a universal fact that Watermelon is the Jolly Rancher of choice?

[Marius69]

JP,
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLLOOLOLOLO Great Post! I hated Licorice until I found out that it is the worlds oldest candy eaten by Ceaser, Mark Antony & even Cleopatra. Ever since I found this out, I like black Licorice. I always liked Candy Corn. The candy I never liked would have to be sour worms or any Jolly Rancher that was sour

[GraphixGrl]

Hands down the worst candy has to be either Necco Wafers or those disgusting gummy spice drops!!Yeeeecchhhh!

[dinosaurfan]

Those nasty tasting orange candy peanuts and those colored oval shaped Easter candies that taste like you were eating something that had melted and was old. Yuk!

[PTSchop]

I don't know why this is, but to me, anything I got on Halloween was good, and anything I got on Easter I hated. I hope theres no evil religious undertones to this. I hope its just a weird quirk of fate.

[Lostcity]

Circus Peanuts and Necco Wafers..yuk.
Got to be the worst.

[sleestack 4]

those horrible wafers.i think they were called neeco or something.

[kjgonz]

What about candy cigarettes? Tasted very much like those nasty Necco wafers, yet my friends and I would eat the candy cigarettes because of the "fun" of it.

[imsleestak]

Necco wafers were Pretty Darn NASTY! You guys nailed it!!!=)
That reminds me of something that happenned to me a few years ago.
I bought an unopened pack of Space 1999 cards and decided to chew the gum!!! (That brittle piece of several decades old gum) *BAD IDEA* ROFL!!! It turned to dust and a kind of gum paper pulp
and it tasted like chewing on wood fibers and dust!
That reminds me be VERY wary of secondhand and dollar stores selling seasonal candies at rockbottom prices! Unless of course you like eating
rancid chocolate and dead insects! LOLOL!:)

[imsleestak]

PTS its just that candy companies tend to risk pushing more goofy new ideas around Easter rather than the hit sellers that kids demand on Halloween!
Like those Nasty Pink Bunnys and Peeps and those big jelly beans that have different colors but all taste the same excpt the ones you dont like (which they make taste particularly nasty!)
And those orange marshmellow peanuts! BARF!!!
I know what youre saying and youre right! I used to get lots of *nasty* candy for easter! BLEECH!:)
It got to the point where I was saying 'No nasty candy this year' and would give the 'rents a list of nasty tasting stuff to avoid! LOL!
I got less nasty stuff on Halloween, but the good thing about Halloween was that some adults knew what candy kids like while others didnt have a clue!
And because of this fact you could always find something in your bag to your liking (unless of course your name is Charlie Brown)
It was Usually single adults who gave out the nasty stuff because they were too miserly or clueless to buy the good stuff to give out so they would just go buy a big bag of Necco Wafers! BARF!) You wanted to tell em :'If your gonna give out nasty hundred year old candy just leave the light off 'k?' LOL!!!

[Marius69]

What is a Necco Wafer? I've heared a lot about this type of candy. What does it look like? What does it taste like?

[imsleestak]

Well Marius its a round disc covered in a kind of fine talcum powder
or white scum that *COULD be* powdered sugar. They crumble into nasty
dust in your mouth like eating instant cocoa from the package but tasting more like sweet n Low than any sugar! BLECCH!
They come in unapatizing colors like black, poop brown, puce green-white, old wallpaper dirty white, and other mismatched lifeless colors. They are very brittle and pardon my French 'Taste like dogs**t'
They have a flavor like licking an old art room clean up sponge!
Like licking flour off of old newspaper! Its like eating flavored toilet paper! They have a shelf life of a billion years. They cannot decay.
Weather 100 years old or fresh they taste just as AWEFUL!!!
They are like eating stale archway holiday cookies! The Necco logo looks like it should belong on an old perfume bottle or old barbershop supplies!
Its like licking dust off the floor and sucking on an orange lolipop!
They look like flat plastic buttons off a 60s Groove coat! Did you as a kid ever
chew red tablets that showed you where you didnt brush by showing up
deeper red on heavy plaque areas? Its like chewing those and chewing asprin tablets!!! You cant eat more than five because they are SO FREAKIN NASTY!!!! They will make you want to go Beat up their inventor!
They crumble to a chalky dust in your mouth like dry plaster!
Its like chewing sidewalk chalk and cherry toothpaste!
Get the picture? Actually you should experience the horror and nasty taste firsthand so that you can feel the pain of those who have suffered
this Necco Nastiness!!!

[Marius69]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LMAO!!!! That was a great explanation!!! Where can I get them??? I want to try them first hand...

[kjgonz]

That description is way too funny! And I have seen them available at Walgreens (at least in my neck of the woods). And I will have an extra chuckle as I past them next time in the candy aisle. Good luck tasting them.

[imsleestak]

Thanks guys!!!:) But sad to say its a pretty correct description!:(***
As for where you can get some Marius, just look in any cheapo drug store
that is about 5-10 times lower in quality than a Wal-Mart!
Any drug store where the candy hasnt 'moved' since LOTL was on Saturday Mornings! Or Like OLD Gas stations in the middle of nowhere where all the candy
WRAPPERS are stuck to ONE ANOTHER and coated with a fine layer of DUST!
Like stores who promise that you can buy anything in there for a dollar!
You should find HUGE A**ED Bulk Bags of them there!!!
They should call them 'sober up pills' Watch how fast a person whos high
or drunk sobers up when you feed it to em! They will scream 'GOOD LORD!
YOU JUST FED ME DRIED DOG FECES!!!' And EJECT IT FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY 'NECCO WAFER'!!! ROFLMAO!!! ITS NASTY!!!!!
The company that made Necco Wafers *probably* went out of buisness in the1920s!!! They are STILL making a profit from the poor unsuspecting
people who dont realise what they have bought til they TASTE IT!
People who buy it thinking its gonna taste good are like the cricket walking right into a spiders web! BAM! you get your guts sucked out!
This Candy should be banned by the Geneva Convention as cruel and unusual punishement! I can imagine
some poor political prisoner in chains given the choice of being force fed Necco wafers or a rubber hose beating. DONT CHOOSE THE WAFER!!!!!
They look like something good but when you taste em you wanna DIE!
Unwittingly Eating a Necco wafer is Like getting REELY drunk at a party and waking up the next day in a bed full of BARNYARD ANIMALS and Rosie O'Donnell!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAACCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!
(Fortunately THANK GOD!!!! I have never had the trauma of such an experience!=)
Marius have a favorite candy bar on hand to try to subdue the taste after you eject it, or about a quart of 'rinse and spit' water!
Dont try and eat em on a full stomach or you might YACK!
Strap on a crash helmet and hide all breakables! Good Luck!

[GraphixGrl]

Hey imsleestak, your description of the DESPISED Necco wafer was awesome!! (Especially the part about the art room sponge! Too Perfect!!) I only have one thing to add. Does everyone remember that nasty sawdust-type stuff that the spread over vomit in grade school? Well, I think that Necco Wafers taste like that stuff smelled. Sorry if that's disgusting, but it's the truth!! Anyway, Marius, if you really want to torture yourself, I have seen Necco Wafers at Super K-Mart. You can find them on the BOTTOM shelf of the candy rack. Good luck!!

[GraphixGrl]

P.S. They are packaged in generic waxpaper-like wrappers. Not even cool packaging for Pete's Sake!!

[Marius69]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO L Since I was a young lad with Attention Deficit Disorder, I ate lots of things without ever knowing what they were called. I'm sorry to iform all of you that as a kid, I liked & ate Necco Wafers all the time. I saw them at a store today & imediately recognized them as my childhood candy. My favorite flavors were Licoriceb & or Cocao. I still loved your description Imsleestack!!!

[Marius69]

After looking at the candy list once more, I realize that I liked a lot of the candy on it. I liked Candy Corn, Circus Peanuts, Marshmellow Easter Bunnies & others. I guess I would have been the perfect brother or friend. Wre could trade candy during Halloween or some other holiday...

[Marius69]

Sorry about my messy posts. I was in a hurry to get the roast out of the oven...

[Big Al]

I hate black licorice. The red licorice I like, though.

Anything with coconut - YECCHH! The gag reflex works overtime when I eat anything with coconut - I even spend the next hour or so getting the last bits of that mess out of my mouth.

I think I've heard of Necco Wafers, but I don't recall ever tasting them. I'll look around when I have the time.

[imsleestak]

Thanx GraphixGrl!=)
Necco Wafers are NASTY!
I dont think a person could come up with a worse confection!
Even the thought of eating one makes my skin crawl!
EWWWWWWW! BARF!:(***************

[aje23]

Without a doubt, the WORST tasting candy is horehound candy. I had never heard of this until a few years ago when my (now ex) brought some home. Horehound candy looks like a small garden stone and tastes like a cough drop. I tried one -- which is to say, I didn't have two. You'll want some licorice or Chloraseptic to get the taste out of your mouth. Or maybe lighter fluid.

[Whiplash]

Hey- what about Milky Way's with that nasty-assed white foam in it? Bleeech. What is that stuff?

[DaveD]

Licorice, red or black, has to be the worst. Not nessesarily in taste, but definatly in texture. It was like chewing on a car's fan belt.

Also, I'm suprised no one has mentioned the "Whitman Sampler" boxes everyone gets on Valentines day. Remember how you took the life of your taste buds in hand everytime you chose one and took a bite? You never knew what you were going to get until you bit into it! Half the time, you ended up putting the half bitten candy back cause it was so gross!

[kjgonz]

So true about those Whitman samplers. What are those candy companies thinking filling perfectly good chocolate with such nasty stuff?

I thought of this board the other night when watching a show where someone was dared to eat 100 of those disgusting Easter peep things. It was so gross!! I don't know what's worse - a hundred peep things or a hundred Necco wafers. Makes Whitman Samplers sound almost edible - at least you can gnaw around the inside and eat off the chocolate (or am I the only one with such disgusting bad eitiquette)?

[Big Al]

I saw a bunch of Necco Wafers recently, and they do look nasty.

I sometimes wonder why those diet buffs out there never tried to market a "Necco Wafer Diet" - just looking at those things would kill my appetite for hours.

[imsleestak]

Yes, Whitmans samplers need to be better labeled
so you know what the heck you are eating!!!:)
Their chocolate isnt that great either!
You want AWESOME Chocolate?
Try Ferro-Rocher!!! Or Lindor!!! OHHH BABY!!!!!
REELY good chocolate is almost as good as SEX!!!
Think about the best chocolate you ever ate!:)
Chocolate Cream Truffles!!!! OHHH YEA!!!!
The Swiss used to be the MASTERS of CHOCOLATE!!!:)

[The Dude]

The candy made today TASTES LIKE CRAP!!!

All candy companies have changed thier candy recipes to using SKIM MILK and they taste horrid...

I used to like these candies

m&ms (Changed to SKIM MILK/MILKFAT in 2000,taste like crap now,not as much flavour)

Milky Way (Changed to SKIM MILK/MILKFAT in 2000,taste like crap now,not as much flavour)

3 Musketeers (Changed to SKIM MILK/MILKFAT in 2000,taste like crap now,not as much flavour)

Kit Kat (Changed to SOY LECITHIN from *SOYA LECITHIN,no other changes,taste like crap)

Hershey bars (Changed to SOY LECITHIN from *SOYA LECITHIN,no other changes,taste like crap)


Its like they dont care about what people think they just wanna make it CHEAPER for thsmselves to make.....

* SOY 'A' LECITHIN is a "modified element" of SOY LECITHIN and was MUCH BETTER..
