Whoppers are good. Jawbreakers are awesome. Necco wafers are rightfully worse than razor blades, but where is the Bit O' Honey? That candy is turrible.

Candy corn should be the top spot for worst Halloween candy. I give it to trick or treaters who don't dress up. Served from a dirty bowl.

Feel free to pass along all of your Whoppers, Sixlets, and Mallo Cups to me. Hell, I was excited when my local movie theater started carrying Mallo Cups.

Whoppers do not belong on that list.....author of TFA might has well have gone "full retard" and listed Milk Duds as well.

I love butterscotch, strawberry hard candies, tootsie flavorroll twisties, and orange slices. I'll take them.
 
2011-10-26 09:50:17 AM
Oh for Fark's sake. I can see raisins (since it's not candy) and the obviousness of #2, but the rest on that list...I like it all.

TEAM LICORICE!!!

This. I think I still have some stuck in my back molar from 1986.

You sound old.

But I'm with your on the Tootsie Flavor Roll Twisties....they're decent,, and do not belong on the list.

Vanilla is particularly good.

The_Sponge: Whoppers do not belong on that list

I can see Sixlets but Whoppers are pretty much the standard malted milk ball. Maybe he's like that a-hole judge on Chopped that objects to the existence of red onions.

I don't think candy buttons deserve to be on that list either. Part of the fun of Halloween is getting candy that you normally either can't typically buy at a grocery store or gas station.

Strangely absent from that list: the old woman handing out pennies.

Sorry, just gay.

The thing that I'm taking away from that 'article' is that there really is no bad candy out there. Of the entire list of 24 (razor blades don't belong there even for a silly overused joke...) there were only 3 that I didn't like (wax coke bottles, wax lips & raisins (which are fine in baked goods but not eaten as 'candy').

I may not reach for the others first given a choice between them & say M&Ms but I certainly wouldn't turn any down.

#26: Slideshows.

Green? Really?

/Loves Whoppers.
 
2011-10-26 10:02:11 AM
Did he really list Mary Janes? I mean Squirrel Nut Zippers are better, but who the FARK hates Mary Janes?

Also if I read "whack" one more time in those pages I was going to have flashbacks of watching Vanilla Ice videos on VH1.
 
2011-10-26 10:31:43 AM
Where are the "mystery Orange and Black wrapper" candies? Nobody even knows who makes them, yet, there they are.
 
2011-10-26 10:32:18 AM
Also... put me down for loving the Vanilla Tootsie Rolls.

A 25 page, slow loading, moronically written slideshow?

F*ck you.

Welcome to Fark the internet.

You know, if we added a few candies we liked, then we could compare them to football teams in a rivetingly insightful manner ...

Rasins.Really? That's a fruit, not a candy. The difference? You chose Orange Slices, which clearly a candy in the shape of real fruit. What should you have called this? Halloween Treats--since neither razor blades nor raisins (and you couldn't find the little Sun-Maid raisin box in your vast search of public domain photos?)

Razor Blades? Sure. They count. They're ironic.

But when 4 of the 25 are hard candies (butterscotch, root beer barrels, peppermints, strawberry hard candies)? Fark you. You should've just chosen 20 and called it "Hard Candies". Everyone knows those are Office Candies, designed to give the appearance of friendliness but in fact are the cacti of candy.

What did you miss? Jolly Ranchers. Coffee Nips. Hey. That's two more. How about this for next year: Office Candy is not Halloween Candy. And then sprinkle in Sharpies and scotch tape and end with a retro cool hipster ... red stapler. That takes you to 10.

Or why not include dark chocolate, which is pretentious unpaletable chocolate masquerading as good chocolate. Nothing like saying you hate dark chocolate to get someone's black-rimmed glasses all steamy. Or knock-offs, like Krackle. Or the 'good with the bad' candy bags, in which they throw in sucky candy with good candy to get rid of it.

So much candy. So little time.

Boston Baked Beans?

Never heard of them.

My dentist still gives out suckers. He just tells you to brush your damn teeth.

I usually also hand out copies of the Bill of Rights ( I get them free from the Bar Association) and tell the kids to memorize the Fourth Amendment because they will need it some day. The pamphlets are always scattered around the neighborhood the next morning. I also give out Life Savers gummies. I eat most of those, however. People who hand out licorice should be detained without bond and sentenced without trial.

They're called Mary Jane Peanut Butter Kisses(^). And they're some of the best Halloween candy out there, next to candy corn and circus peanuts.

You had me until the circus peanuts.
I buy a few bags of the Mary Jane's and the Candy Corn ever year. Just for me.

I rather like licorice-flavored candy.

/Not the salty Danish crap, though.
 
2011-10-26 12:17:23 PM
BTW, that list fails without Twizzlers.

/"Makes mouths happy" my ass.
//And they don't taste like strawberries.
 
2011-10-26 12:25:48 PM
I read that as Halloween candles

The ones with bats and witches on them? I remember those from my youth. They definitely got ate last, and belong on this list. Also belonging are peeps and anything made of edible styrofoam peep-like materials.

Shots of Ouzo would be okay, though.

No mention of the soap-candy?

yup

I'm not clicking through the slideshow but circus peanuts better be on that list andbe in the number one spot. Those things are the most vile confectionary products ever made. Pure, unadulterated evil.

you people never heard of taffy before?
 
2011-10-26 12:52:01 PM
the only correct answer is Candy Corn x 25
 
2011-10-26 12:52:36 PM
stupid ad block at work. cant see the list.

licorice, razor blades and ruffies are the worse candies to get
 
2011-10-26 12:53:08 PM
I don't know why but I love candy corn. Never used to.

I'll buy a large bag and over the course of a couple days eat the whole thing.

I have a candy corn stash in my desk at work.
 
2011-10-26 12:53:34 PM
Gawd candy corn is awful.

I like dark chocolate.

Whoppers are good.

Worst candy i ever got were called More. Smaller than m&ms and spherical. Filled with unsweetened cocoa iirc. About '83 i think. Cool story bro.

They may start their lives as taffy, but by the time you get them for Halloween they are rock-hard balls of condensed disappointment.
 
2011-10-26 12:53:53 PM
Some of those are pretty awesome. Sixlets, those strawberry hard candy things, the flavored tootsie rolls. I'll take all of them. Thanks.

I remember one year when I was a kid some old guy was handing out donuts - not the little packs of mini-donuts or something, but individual, full-size, stale donuts from the grocery store. He was dropping them in the bags, too, not handing them to people. I got a frosted one, left this this chocolate poo-smear over half my candy. Took it out of the bag and threw it in his lawn, when I noticed a small pile of assorted donuts left by other trick-or-treaters...fk'n WEIRD...
 
2011-10-26 12:54:41 PM
I hate candy corn as much as anyone, but last week someone brought in a bowl of candy corn and salted peanuts, and if you eat them together it tastes just like a Payday. Of course, who the hell eats Paydays?
