Worst popular candies

Of the big three Mars brand candy bars (Snickers, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers - those are really the first 3 that come to my mind when I think "candy bar)), easily my favorite is 3 Musketeers (unless it’s been sitting on the shelf too long and gotten hard). The others still are plenty good - I prefer Milky Way to Snickers, but I still enjoy Snickers quite a bit.

I’m a big fan of chocolate - but not really of chocolate flavored things. I’d much rather have vanilla ice cream than chocolate. Regular glaze on my donuts instead of chocolate. That sort of thing.

Brownies are awesome though.

I’m way more into fancy chocolate for adults than this halloween candy crap CAUSE I’M AN ADULT!

this place, in particular - https://www.lazarschocolate.com/

been ordering from them a lot lately.

this was my most recent order -

Pick your own hand dipped chocolates. I got 2 pounds consisting of -

(=) Dark Only Chocolate Almond Bark
(=) Milk Only Chocolate Buttercrunch
(=) Dark Only Meltaways
(=) Square Chocolate Truffles (2 Layer)
(=) Dark Only Chocolate Covered Smores (Marsh & Graham)
(=) Dark Only Chocolate Covered Apricots
(=) Dark Chocolate Covered Orange Peel
(=) Dark Only Chocolate Covered Pineapple

Thrills Gum. I’m not sure if they still make it. It has a bizarre taste!!!

Commercially made chocolate milk tends to not be very good, I think because they use low-quality chocolate. But if you’re adding a good chocolate syrup to milk then it’s much better.

Cheap chocolate ice cream is awful. To save money, some ice cream makers won’t clean the equipment between flavors and so they make them in reverse order of how much stuff they have in them. Vanilla first, then chocolate chip, then strawberry, then pistachio, and last chocolate (OK there may be a few more flavors in there somewhere). So the chocolate ice cream ends up having pistachio residue in it. :nauseated_face:

Higher quality chocolate ice cream, in addition to having higher quality ingredients to start with, also doesn’t have a noticeable pistachio taste to it like the cheap stuff does.

So while cheap chocolate ice cream is among the worst kinds of ice cream, high quality chocolate ice cream is awesome. And the difference in quality between the best & worst chocolate vs the best & worst vanilla is substantially greater, although to be fair, all cheap ice cream sucks.

Y’all have those molasses kisses at Halloween in the u.s.? Far and away the nastiest candy on earth.

I can’t think of any candy with raisins in them, popular or otherwise.

Cookies, granola bars, and cereal, sure, but not candy.

I never had that, but I do miss Gatorade gum. It had weird flavors (I just called them Orange Gatorage and Green Gatorade… they kinda tasted like the drink, but not really)

JERRY “You know at the movies, they show that little ad for the concession stand?”

ELAINE “With the cartoon candies dancing and the Milk Duds playing the banjo?”

JERRY “Yeah, he’s wailing on that banjo. I just don’t understand the Raisinets.”

ELAINE “The sax player.”

JERRY “The box of Raisinets runs up to the concession stand, buys another box of Raisinets.”

ELAINE “So?”

JERRY “A box of Raisinets eating another box of Raisinets? It’s perverse.”

ELAINE “He’s not going to eat them. He’s buying them for his Pepsi girlfriend.”

JERRY “And why is he dating a Pepsi? They’re not having children.”

ELAINE shrugs “They’re musicians.”

JERRY “Musicians. Get a real job.”

Ew. I forgot about those.

Breadmaker is completely right.

What kind of psychopath puts raisins in candy?

I like raisins in candy. Especially chocolate covered raisins and Chunky bars. I like coconut in candy. Mounds and Almond Joy, while OK, are far from the best. The best coconut candy is the Rafaello by Ferrero Rocher. I love Heath Bars.

I dislike:
Butterfingers
Zagnut
Skittles

The ones who think everyone needs more fiber in their diet.

I’ve permabanned Skittles for this atrocious decision.

Seriously, what do people have against Lime?!?!? Can’t even find lime flavored soda for goodness sake.

LIME. IS. THE. BEST.

what are people’s views on chocolate covered dried fruit, such as apricot or orange peel? they are some of my favorites (dark chocolate only). I’ve been mocked for this and told I don’t understand good chocolate and that nobody else likes them.

not including raisins in this. not a fan of those.

Mint is the greatest flavor on earth!

I’m always super let down when I spot a Zero bar in the candy aisle, then read the description to find out that it has nothing to do with mint. SO disappointing. I really don’t understand their choice of name or packaging for that forgettable piece of crap.

Not nearly as good as dark chocolate covered espresso beans!

not sure i’ve had those, but I tend to be a non-fan of coffee flavored anything other than coffee itself.

Chocolate and fruit ranker:
Strawberries: Yum… this is good and proper
Raspberries: Not bad
Blackberries: tolerable
Blueberries: tolerable
All other fruit: sick and wrong
