First in the Garbage

Halloween was just over a week ago, and I always wonder: why do people give out yucky candy?

Of course one kid's yuck is another kid's yum, but some bad candies are just universal. Here is my Top 10 list of worst candies, in no particular order except for number one. Do you agree?

10. Necco wafers. Is it chalk? Is it plaster? Is it a Tums? Nope, because those items taste better! It's kind of dusty, and the colors have nothing to do with any kind of flavor and they're hard. Why do you hate children?

9. Circus peanuts. They are neither peanuts nor something you'd find at the circus. It's like stale, hard orange marshmallow in the shape of a peanut, and it squeaks when you're finally able to bite into it. Does anyone really eat those?

8. Good and Plenty. Plenty? Yes. Good? H to the no. I believe they get their flavor from licorice extract, or black licorice and that is not a good flavor. Why would anyone give that to a kid? 

7. Milk Duds. It's all in the name. Dud. It doesn't even try to taste like real chocolate and it majorly sticks to your teeth. No time for that!

6. Butter Mints. My mother loved these. They are those really soft pillow-shaped mints that like dissolved in your mouth. I remember when my brothers were in Boy Scouts, they sold tins of these 'pillow' mints as a fundraiser. My mother always bought more than one tin and would enjoy every single one of those mints. Ugh. Have at it Marie!

5. Tootsie Rolls. Goes along with Milk Duds. It's the Yoo-Hoo of candy. It isn't really chocolate, sticks to your teeth and it's a lot of work for very minimal, if any, satisfaction. It's like what you would eat if you were allergic to chocolate.

4. Raisinets. Just stop.

3. Black licorice. First of all, if you eat too much of it, it can cause life-threatening health complications. Besides that: it tastes gross.

2. Sugar Daddy. It tries to look like a lollipop because it has a stick, but it will take your teeth out if you bite it. It kind of tries to look like chocolate, but it's caramel. It's good if you're trying to lose a filling, because you will.

1. Candy Corn. There is absolutely nothing tasty about this. The colors do not equate to flavors. They are nothing but calories and sugar. The only good thing about this is you can invert them, stick them onto your teeth and call them fangs. You know you did this as a kid! At least that way you didn't have to eat them!

These are the candy types that end up in the garbage first. With that being said: what's on your list?
