    Default Your number one worst Halloween candy

    Gotta be candy corn for me. The fruitcake of Halloween.

    And what's with Fun-Sized? Since when is one bite fun? Portion control doesn't need to start this young.

    Candy corn. I cannot imagine what coerced someone into thinking that was possibly a good idea. Easily the worst-tasting candy ever invented.

    Fresh candy corn is not bad, as long as it's the white/orange/yellow type and not the white/orange/brown variety. Old candy corn (and you can never tell the difference just by looking) is nasty.

    Candy Corn is awful, truly the worst candy ever invented it... Just the moment you bite into it... some weirdish taste that suddenly turns from slight sugary to overwhelmingly sugary and you're taste buds reject it to the point that you're tongue automatically rejects the overpowering sweetness from your mouth.

    I happen to like candy corn. Swedish Fish on the other hand are disgusting. Not only are they disgusting but once I've had one I crave more and more and more of the disgusting little fish.

    Candy corn sucks. It's horrible, and perfectly described in the OP because fruit cake also really, really sucks.

    Not much of a candy fan in general, but if the only candy handed out was Snickers, Skittles and Nerds, I'd be suiting up every year no matter how old I got.

    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    I like candy corn, thank y'all.

    Tootsie roll hits the bottom for me. Chewing on a tootsie roll is like chewing on chocolate flavored caulk. I keep thinking I should be using it to seal up a window instead of eating it.

    No, they taste like old candy corn, just as you see in the first picture. Wasn't it delicious? Mmmmmmm. Me no LI-EEZ!!!


    I'm surprised there wasn't a choice for "Apples with razor blades," or "poisoned homemade candy," like the urban legends and our parents always warned us about. "Only take candy that's prerapped, there's crazies and rapists everywhere!!!!"

    Besides the candy corn anything home made and you didn't know the people. It all got thrown out! I thought it would get better over time but when you check the kid's candy today there is a lot of crap. Like sugar cookies from the package no wrapping.
