What kind of Halloween candy did you HATE getting.
I remember there was the popcorn ball lady and the lady who gave out the mini chicklets (only 2) and of course the ones who gave out the generic Brachs root beer barrels. They all sucked and I hated those people as a child.
Oh yeah then there was the lame lady who gave out apples. I know, they are good for you but it’s HALLOWEEN we want CANDY!!
What other candy did you dread getting?
Those gross genericish Halloween candies, the caramel ones in the orange and black wrappers. Hated them.
Also Mary Janes and Bit O’ Honey.
And raisins.
However, there was a lady down the road when I was a kid who gave out full size candy bars.
Candy corn. I’m probably one of the few, but I always hated that stuff.
Artificial chocolate. I don’t care how you slice it, but that powdered, pressure-formed crap is utterly and completely vile.
Cheap suckers. (The candies, not the adults who gave them, though I suppose you could apply the term to both) Suckers were okay, but ridiculously common when I was a kid so I’d end up getting like half a bag full. And I hated everything but grape and cherry. Orange was okay. Couldn’t stand lemon or lime flavoured suckers.
Fruit that isn’t liberally ensconced in sugary substances. Indeed, this is supposed to be a night of tummy aches and dentists rubbing their hands together gleefully. Halloween is not the time for health crusaders to be spreading their tacit messages. Save that for the other 364 days of the year.
Those strange, kinda artificial-malt-flavoured taffy cubes that really just tasted like cod liver oil, only worse. (And I kinda liked cod liver oil! Yeah, I’m weird.) You know, the ones that have no official name and are invariably wrapped in black and orange wrapers with bats and ghosts on them. Ugh!
Kinda liked those. Sort of a “palate cleanser” :p.
I was neutral on these - they’d do in a pinch.
Loved Bit O’ Honey in all its filling-sucking glory.
But candy corn I HATED. Still do. Nasty stuff.
Even as a child the Palmer’s chocolate and totsie rolls were always last in my bag. fake chocolate is an evil that should not be supported in any form.
My kids still get more suckers and smarties than anything else. (sadly, they know to hide the good chocolate from mom, too. )
Mounds and Almond Joys. I love them now, but hated them as a kid. For the record, I too have always hated candy corn, but I don’t remember ever getting any while trick-or-treating.
Smarties (the American kind). Lollipops. Most non chocolate candy, basically. (I was a real chocolate nut.)
I was only ever looking for chocolate bars. Bags of chips were good too. Manufacturers try to outdo each other by coming up with the cheapest candy possible for the lowest price. I second that the worst candy ever was that orange plastic stuff in a halloween wax wrapper that was only sold to people to give away, never to consume. As an adult I have only given out chocolat bars. Oh, yeah - giving toothbrushes sucks and makes you look like a loser - do your preachin in church.
I was a picky kid, I guess. I hate(d)
Peanut butter kisses
Most hard candy
Bit-O-Honey
Smarties (SweetTarts were OK)
Most gum.
Butterfingers, along with some other candy bars)
Red Hots
CANDY CORN! And pumpkins that taste like candy corn.
But I loved (loved loved!)
Snickers/Mr. Goodbar
Lemonheads
Bottle Caps
You know, I’ve never in my life been given an apple or fruit or a popcorn ball. I probably would have been outraged.
I always hope against hope that my son with bring home lots of Mounds and Almond Joys, because he hates coconut and will give them to me.
Another vote here for peanut butter kisses. I’d throw Mary Janes in the same category. Ditto BB Bats (except for the banana ones – loved those.)
I’m weird…I love the peanut butter kisses (those are the black and orange wrappered things), as well as Mary Janes and Bit O’Honey.
I always hated wax lips, candy corn, any sucker other than a Tootsie Pop, Ring Pop, or Blow Pop, and plain Tootsie rolls. Funny how I love Tootsie Pops but not the rolls–there was just something about putting it in a sucker that made it a whole lot better.
Those Hershey Dark Specials, never liked them as a kid.
Ugh! What about those Tootsie Rolls that are NOT CHOCOLATE. Those are vile and might actually be made of soap.
Candy Corn, yeeech.
And those MF’n orange Circus Peanuts. Who in their right mind gives away sweetened packing material?
Gumballs were the first things weeded out of my bag.
Tootsie Rolls. Blech.
Bit O’Honey. Double Blech.
Those sometimes you feel like a nut sometimes you don’t chocolate bars.
Snickers
The orange and black thingies someone else mentioned.
Mr. Goodbars
Hersheys with almonds
I also used to get rid of 100,000 bars because I thought the crunchy things were nuts. You cannot imagine how depressed I was when I found out different - the thought of how many I had gotten rid of over the years when I could have been eating them…
I loved popcorn balls! I would have cheerfully traded you for them - and in fact, I traded my sister at truly extortionate rates for them.
For that matter, I think that was probably my favorite bit of Halloween - trading candy with my younger sister. She was hard-core, too - she hated popcorn balls and snickers, but she’d make me pay through the nose in Hershey’s bars to get them.
Hmm… Dum Dum suckers because they are just so small and you always end up with a boadload of them. I guess I don’t hate them exactly, they’re just so common. I got them as a kid and now my kids get them (yawn).
Tootsie Rolls
Bit O’ Honey
black & orange p.b. things
Mounds or Almond Joy
raisins
candy corn
pennies - what’s up with that? Too lazy to get candy, so you throw some pennies into the kids’ bags. Your house should be egged.
Circus peanuts. The humanity of it all…
Bazooka gum. Great at first, horrible within a couple of minutes.
I hope you didn’t grow up to be a negotiator. 
Oh yeah, Tootsie Rolls. Did anyone like those?
