Smarties are good. At least they taste fruity, whereas Necco Wafers just taste like chalky ass.

The worst candy ever made are those fucking gross Circus Peanuts. Expect to see a bowl full of that shit if anyone's actually sadistic enough to be handing them out.

Smarties are nice, but I do generally like other things.

i'd ditch anything even resembling candy corn(they make the same crappy stuff into a pumpkin shape too, i don't know what it is but its gross), and anything like smarties, pez or necco wafers. the texture/taste remind me of toothpaste flavored pills. I'd keep chocolate, and anything with a taste close enough to chocolate, gummies, stuff with nuts(as if anyone hands that out anymore :[ ). Things like whoppers(roof of your mouth is ruined) or sugar daddies(back teeth are ruined) or bubblegum(boooring) i could take or leave.

Oh but I loves me some candy corns.

Is it a law that Halloween bubblegum has to be rock-hard stale?

I dunno what's up with that D: And candy corn gets grosser the more you eat it, to me. The first one is deceptively okay, but thennn...

The secret, then, is to just eat one. They should be individually wrapped!

Hmmm. I would probably end up leaving behind Sugar Daddies. I hate those things with a passion.
And I bet that what you said would be right, with all the chalky candies being left in.
Now I want some candy DX

I'm down with you on Tootsie-Rolls. Nasty stuff. Y'know what I can't stand? The fakey coffee candies that come in wrappers that look like bags for the beans. Likewise I can't stand the semi-syrupy stick strawberry candies who are wrapped to look like the real fruit.
I don't mind the American Smarties or Necco wafers that much, to be honest.

Ugh, anything coffee flavored is inedible in my book. Same for black licorice.

Which kind of black licorice? I've run across two different sorts of it, and the more common version is of course the one that sucks.

The easiest way to tell them apart is to bite the end off. If it's shiny black where you bit it off, it's the kind that sucks. If it's a dull brownish color, you've got the good kind.

I just can't stand anything with that flavor. Fennel and Star Anise fall in that category.

Candy corn on this end. It's wax like chew and chalky textyre makes me want to punch babies.

You'd end up with a bunch of bit'o'honyes and Maryjane's. That stuff is nasty.

I'll take your share then.

Be careful, some of those tootsie rolls in the bowl next morning may not really be tootsie rolls.

Any sort of Hershey Chocolate. That stuff has the texture of gravel and the flavour of cheap instant hot-chocolate mix. Absolutely disgusting.

Also anything minty. I don't hate mint as much as I used to, but it's still not high on my list.


I try to be a bit different with the stuff I give out every year. Some years I'm nice and I give out those little bags of potato chips, since the kids will need a little salty break in between all the sweets. Some years I'm evil and give out cans of soda, and then cackle evilly as I see the kids 3 houses down the street with their arms falling off from carrying the added weight.

They're always so happy to get the soda... at first.

Out of curiosity, what's your favorite brand(s) of chocolate?

For chocolate bars, Cadbury stuff is pretty good. Beyond that, pretty much anything upmarket is pretty good. It's mostly just Hershey and the odd no-name chocolate that's terrible.

Gotta agree with you on the Tootsie Rolls and Necco wafers. Smarties are ok, but not high on the list. The nasty chalk-like sticks (formerly candy cigarettes) would be left, and some candy corn.

Oh man, I remember candy cigarettes. You whippersnappers don't know what you're missing. (Not much, in this case)

They still make them, just got renamed to stick candy. And they are still just as horrible as ever.

Smarties are concave-lens shaped, not convex. At least around here...

Durp, that's what I meant.

Hee, I figured. I'm just always on the lookout for little things like that. ;)

That shitty peanut butter in the black and orange wax paper. I throw that crap away.

Ah yes, the loose tooth and filling remover.

My vote goes to a similar thing -- bits of molasses, in black-and-orange wrappings. Clamps your teeth together stronger'n Crazy Glue, is almost impossible to completely clean, and doesn't really taste all that good.
As for candy I like -- they call 'em Rockets up here. Convex-lens-shaped sugary-tart candies, about the size of a watch battery, that come in multiple colours. They're usually in a cylindrical clear wrapping that was twisted at both ends. I used to untie one end, and munch the whole lot of 'em at once.

http://jjaacckkssoonn.tumblr.com/po.....finished-im-on those are dangerous, those are full of razor blades!

Idea: Set up a second bowl with instructions that, if you don't want to leave anything behind OR can't find anything you want in the first bowl, to take from the second bowl instead to avoid messing up the experiment. This would help ensure the experiment keeps going even late in the evening when most of the first bowl is full of usually-undesirable candy.

Do people still give out Thrills gum? If anyone does, your bowl is sure to be filled with those.

I seem to love all the candies that everybody else hates; Chick-O-Sticks, Peanut Butter Kisses, Banana B-B-Bats, Zotz, Candy Buttons (on that strip of white paper), Coconut Slices, Root Beer Barrels...

I'll never figure out popcorn balls. Walmart has an entire aisle full of them every year, and they never sell. I suppose they get landfilled, or fed to the seagulls in the parking lot.

Chick-o-Sticks are awesome.

I love how anyone's dislike, become the worst candy in the world.. Just because you don't like it , doesn't mean someone else doesn't. LOL 2 out of 3 people who responded didn't just list what they didn't like they bashed it like it was a red headed step child, curb stomped it, then fed it to the Ethiopians.. I thought about a couple funny responses to some of them, but they're not worth it.. You guys and gals are too pent up to be this angry over candy.

I rather think YOU'RE the one getting your panties in a bunch. It's just a fun little survey thing. Nobody's about to go to war over it.

I know furries thrive on drama, but stop trying to call it when it's not there.

But but.... This is sparta??

NO U

THIS! IS! CAKETOWN!

What? We're venting. It's just mock anger. It's fun!

Heh, did you shame the commenter above you into hiding his own comment? I missed it!

the hide comment features going to be abused.. I'm fairly sure of this LOL!

Take all the Reese's pieces, in any form, even the dark chocolate ones. Would leave any one of those off brand super cheap candies that you get from the dollar store.

GOODBYE O-HENRY! Damn do I ever hate nuts. Seriously, whomever finds the bowl after I swap out my dislikes is going to find a mountain of premium chocolate bars. And as a kid, I seemed to be a magnet for all the chocolate treats I couldn't stand. Now if any red licorice were to be found in that bowl, that would be my ideal repayment.

As to the end-of-night remnants, around here it would be a toss-up between black licorice and those little pumpkin-faced orange gumballs. I can totally understand not wanting black licorice, but I've always been puzzled over why everyone hates the pumpkin balls, those were the best!

you'd have a bag of the following
BBbats
Maryjanes
tootsie rolls chocolate and vanilla
bit o honeys
circus peanuts
popcorn balls
generic orange and black wax paper covered peanut toffees that are made by a different brand each year every time with the hopes of it being better and the same reaction of T_T "damnit" each time/

Those caramel chocolate candy things that come in orange or black wrappers that are big and nameless yet I used to get a ton of them @___@

>_> http://www.candyblog.net/blog/item/.....butter_kisses/ thats what they're called

yes YES THOSE LITTLE TERRORS

Those aren't Kisses!! Kisses are little gumdrop-shaped chocolate. These things are LIES in (un)chewable peanut butter form!

Mint Three Muskateers.... nearly as bad as moth balls.

blarg, i'm too busy recovering from last night's party, but i will say i would leave candy corn, louis black's rant frames my sentiments on those snack abortions, bad bad... (passes out before he can rant properly)

It'd be a whole bowl of Tootsie rolls..

Ditch the candy corn & tootsie rolls, then toilet paper the house of the vile villians who tired to pass them off as "candy".

Happy Halloween, everyone!

For me, anything hard, chewy, gummy and sticky. I'd rather not lose my fillings and crowns *again*, thanks. So yeah, Tootsie Rolls, caramels, taffy, Bit-o-Honeys, and ESPECIALLY those vile orange-and-black-wrapper-flavored peanut butter plastic lumps!

Also yeah, circus peanuts. I haven't touched those in years; I can't remember whether I've ever actually eaten one; and yet the thought of them repulses me!

Also anything with walnuts or pecans in it. Bleh. Almonds are borderline acceptable, especially if chopped up as in Toblerone. Peanuts are all right. Cashews... well, I love cashews, but I prefer to eat them plain, unmixed with chocolate or other nuts or anything.

But definitely no licorice. Bleh again!

So much hate for the peanut butter kisses! I'll admit that they were better in the '70s (before they got stingy with the peanut butter).

Oh, and guess what I discovered: Mr. Pibb and Red Vines does *not* equal crazy delicious.

who the hell gives out toothbrushes on Halloween?

Still better than gospel tracts and anti-UN John Birch Society pamphlets (I got one of those while collecting for UNICEF).

Ive gotten mini bibles and phamplets stating I was not a good christan if I went out and trick or treated on halloween. Was easy to work through that tho, I got Abba Zabbas and Reeses Peanut Butter cups or I could have a book from an ignorant dumbfuck, pretty obvious what I went for #fatandhappyish

On a road trip to FC with some friends many years ago we stopped at a nameless convenience store / gas station at around 1:00am. It was cold and rainy and somewhere in CA on a dark back road and we were the only ones there. The store was a typical chain store so it was well lit and clean but it had an interesting assortment of foreign candy, mostly from Mexico as we were close to the border. As we were finishing up our purchases two of my friends picked out two very weird looking suckers from Mexico. They LOOKED like some kind of hard candy resembling as best as we could discern corn. But the inside of the cellophane was slimy as if the candy secreted some kind of clear viscous liquid. My friends were intrigued and as we were leaving they opened them and from what I could tell barely touched them to the tip of their tongue. Had they put their tongues to a slimy green turd dipped in 20 year old monkey vomit they would not have gotten rid of them any faster than they did those candies. The above description was pretty much what they said BEST described the 'taste' and my friends spent the rest of the trip gargling various acids and industrial cleaners to get rid of said 'taste'.

So I guess that would be my candy to pass along.

Malted milk balls, tooties rolls, peppermint.

To a lesser extent, dum-dum pops and solid chocolate bars with nothing in them to break the bordom of JUST chocolate.

Tootsie Rolls always baffled me. After years of getting them stuck in my teeth and chewing the hard little nubbins, someone mentioned that they're supposedly chocolate flavored. Really? I still don't believe it.

The other candy I'd happily leave in a bowl are "candy dots" or whatever they're called: those little dots of sugar on rolls of paper. I don't know if they're even sold much anymore, but sugary paper bits are the worst candy ever.

So we don't really do trick or treating here in the down under verse. Last night we had zero people knocking on our door for candy or throwing eggs/toilet paper.

That being said I would discard anything that is cherry flavoured sucking lollies. I'm not a huge fan of real cherries but don't midn the but fake cherry flavoured stuff just akes me feel sick!

I happen to like tootsie rolls
Hypothetically I would take twix nestlies crunch tootsie rolls big hunk and abazaba and maybe mounds or almond joy I would leave behind those chalky nasty lil sweet tards adn all the asorted lolipops and nerdz

I'd imagine there'd be so9me of those Mary Janes in there, too. I'd seek Butterfingers/Reeses/Tootsie products/ some others after ditching all my mary janes, almond anythings, coconut anythings, and prolly some other things
