Love the black licorice - I can eat it any time. The stronger the better! Anything with artificial fruit flavouring, on the other hand… :pukey: ---

Oh, puuuuuuke, I forgot about Circus Peanuts. Blech. So…add that. But–I love Gummi Bears! And Twizzlers aren’t too terrible (though I prefer red licorice too them). Feel free to send those on this-a-way. (_Salted_ black licorice?! Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!) _hurl_ ---

[QUOTE=OpalCat] Eurg—do wax lips count as candy? Do they even still make those gross things!? [/QUOTE] [Believe it.](http://www.oldtimecandy.com/wax-lips.htm) ---

I also hate black licorice and anything cherry flavored because it tastes like medicine. I used to like Necco wafers but tried them as an adult and was dissappointed. I love Peeps, circus peanuts and coconut in just about anything. ---

Missed the edit window: I was just reminded of another candy I hate, Cadbury Creme Eggss. We hates them, precious! They look disgusting and they taste like pure concentrated nauseating sugar. If you’ve ever seen that episode of The Simpsons where Homer makes cotton candy, deep fries it and slathers it with caramel layer upon layer and ends up with a giant sugar ball that attracts dirt, ants, Flandereses and bears - I imagine that thing would taste just like a Cadbury Creme Egg. ---

I hate butterscotch. I like coconut but the coconut on candy has to be flavored plastic. bad. I like black licorice but red is plastic. ---

I don’t mind black licorice, and I _love_ sour candy (Sweet Tarts, Spree, Pixy Stix, Fun Dip, Sour Skittles, send 'em my way!) Do count me in on the coconut haters and circus peanuts, though; I’m with you all on these. ---

Just to annoy all you licorice haters, I bought some black licorice while doing my grocery shopping this morning. I’m eating a piece of it _right now_. Mmmmmm… ---

They may well be quite tasty but I can’t bring myself to try Gummi Dildoes. ---

Sweet Tarts. Ugh. **dwc** , you can have my share of those vile little things, and their powdery cousins as well. They taste like powdered Gatorade, only without the advantage of being diluted. Also, any candy with that horrific artificial orange flavor. I like black licorice in moderation, but the double salt stuff is pretty vile.
