Okay…we had this thread before, but it bears repeating:
I hate candy corn. It reminds me of rotten teeth.
I hate circus peanuts.
I hate those wax paper orange and black taffy things.
I hate any candy that gets misshapen by virtue of its mushiness.
I used to love a popcorn ball, but I don’t think I’d have the nerve to eat one unless I knew the cook.
Other than cockroaches, candy corn and circus peanuts are the only things that will survive a nuclear holocaust.
I remember adults that gave out horehound candy. It was a light blue or white and tasted almost like Vicks Vapor Rub. I guess when you compare the candy corn to that and the others mentioned, the candy corn wasn’t too bad. Now if I could have gotten a box of Ludens Childern’s Cherry Cough Drops, I would have been thrilled.
You forgot fruit cake.
And me. I’ll survive because of the amounts of candy corn and circus peanuts I consume. It hasn’t all left my body. I have corn syrup in my veins. My brain is a circus peanut.
I love horehound candy.
I’m so weird.
Horehound is used to make coughdrops isn’t it? That would explain the taste.
I don’t care about candy corns, but death to circus peanuts. Anyone giving those out deserves to have their house egged. That’s the devil’s candy. And seeing as I OD’d on those peanut butter kiss thingies when I was in the 4th grade, it’ll be a cold day in Hell before I ever eat one again.
But nothing will stand between me and a bag of skittles or sweet tarts.
