What do you think is the worst candy?

The worst I can imagine would something like individually wrapped fruitcake squares, leftover from the pervious year and hard as a rock. But packets of those 98% salt "pumpkin seeds in the shell" would rank right up there.
 
I saw a blurb on TV about a Web site that sells gourmet licorice. Some here may think "gourmet licorice" is an oxymoron.

Now I said I like licorice, however it doesn't always like me. Frequently I get headaches when I eat it.

Yeah, they came in a little box, pale-green and white, with black lettering on it, if I remember right.
My gramma kept 'em in her purse, too. Gramma got me hooked on those.

:giggle: Yes, me too! I just looked them up to see if they're still available anywhere (discontinued in 2013) and I see they were actually breath fresheners... marketed as "breath perfume." Well now, Frank, I'm not so sure what our Grammas were trying to tell us! I thought she just wanted to give Lil' Katie candy! :ROFLMAO: @Murrmurr
 
According to something my Grandma told me, back in the Roaring 20's it was considered rather "racy" for a young lady to eat Sen-Sens. Presumably, she was covering up alcohol on her breath. If two old biddies were tsk-tsking about a young lady, they might have said, "Well, she's the type who chews Sen-Sens, y'know....."

Condemned by a small paper packet of tiny licorice bits. Tsk-tsk.
 
Necco Wafers. They look like coins, and are almost as tasty. The taste may charitably be described as chalky. Smarties are pretty vile, too... šŸ˜’

What's the worst candy ever? What did you hate to get in your Halloween bag?

When I first moved to the US, I was unaware of what trick or treating was all about. So on my very first instance of having a bunch of little kids knocking on my door, I wondered why they were there. My partner told me, "you should give them candies". Of course, I hadn't bought any since I wasn't anticipating this. So I went inside and found some cans of Coke. I played two cans in each of the bags, and then watch as these poor little kids were dragging their bags behind them due to the weight of the cans. :D

I'm an idiot! But this still makes me laugh.
