Night Elf Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 So I'm trying to think back to when my kids actually went trick or treating, or goodness, even when I was young, and trying to think of what kind of candy I didn't like. The only type I can think of is the weird stuff in the orange and black wrappers. I can't even find a name for them through Google! So what candy did you want to trade away?

Jann in TX Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Even to this day I cannot stand coffee in any form-- and will not eat a coffee cake with coffee added to the mix. My sister and brother knew how much I detested them-- and they would not trade! Eventually (by age 8 or so) I just handed them over and walked away... Those orange and black candies were some sort of taffy-- either a brown sugar or a peanut butter flavor-- YUCK-- even my brother would not eat them!

Forget-Me-Not Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I think it's peanut butter taffy. And I refuse to touch anything that looks like teeth or eyeballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 My kids can't stand, hmmm, it's hard to describe. It's a plastic spoon dipped in caramel then rolled in chili powder. Yes, you read that right. We have a larger Hispanic population here and it is a very popular candy to give out. The look on my boys' faces the first time they tried it though was priceless!

GSOchristie Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I LOVE candy corn, I'm sort of sad that I am now low carb and have not had the first candy corn this year :(.

Guest inoubliable Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Mike and Ike candies. Nasty, nasty, nasty. The candy corn, though. :drool5: It got so bad at my house during Halloween that when I was a teenager my mom would specifically tell bosses (we worked at a big-name toy store, she was the store manager), boyfriends, friends from school, siblings... that I was NOT to have any candy corn after 7 pm. The rush of sugar. Oh. My. My family jokes about it like it was the Gremlins. I haven't had candy corn in years... Hmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ms3mama Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 We go through the bag and throw away anything thats gummy and made in China and also taffy type candies that pull fillings out. We basically just keep the chocolate, some lollypops and chips. I'm not a big fan of trick or treating. The people get crazy around here with the scary costumes and decorations so I told the kids this year if they dont want to go we can go to the store and they can each pick their own candy.

happi duck Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Dots...too chewy! When I was a kid I didn't like Snickers which suited my mom just fine!

ocelotmom Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Atomic Fireballs. I like cinnamon, but those are too much. Any lollipop giant enough that it doesn't fit in your mouth comfortably. Peppermints are not my favorite, though I'll eat them eventually. Black jelly beans/licorice I can only handle in limited quantities. Everything else that's been mentioned I have no problem eating :p (I've never tried Mary Janes, but they sound good.) Um, except those spoons. That's just weird.

AndyJoy Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 It sounds like a lot of people hated the same things as me: Bit O' Honey/Mary Janes/peanut butter taffy/Twizzlers (nasty taste) jawbreakers, dots, Now and Laters (too hard and/or flavorless) Necco (hate the chalky texture, though I was ok with Smarties) butterscotch, peppermint, Werthers, root beer, or strawberry hard candy (this are ok at a restaurant or at grandma's but they're lousy as Halloween candy!) My sister and I had a system after Trick-or-Treating. We would pour our candy on the living room floor. Mom or Dad would inspect for tampering. We would put all our "yuck" candies in one pile to be added to the communal candy dish. Then we would barter for our favorites. Finally we'd create a Mom and Dad pile with their favorites. I have fond memories.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJoy Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Twizzlers. Blech. :iagree:Most of my college classmates loved them, though! The department secretary kept a jar on her desk and they were eaten very quickly. The worst part was seeing all the students who used them as straws to drink their hot chocolate or coffee during class and then ate them. Yuck.

nukeswife Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I hated those black and orange wrapped things too. I'm also not a fan of circus peanuts, but my grandma loves them so she'd always trade me. I hate candy corn, but my grandpa and I would fight over the bit-o-honey (the secret is to actually just suck on it like a hard candy until it just melts in your mouth, no fillings lost that way) I'm also not a fan of black jelly beans/licorice.

PrairieSong Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Boston Baked Beans! Yuck. Do they even make them anymore? How about those orange foam circus peanuts? Double yuck. We only had those around Christmas though. I never saw them at Halloween. Candy corn is only good if you eat one piece with a few peanuts. Then it tastes like a Payday candy bar.

Night Elf Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Now and Laters (too hard and/or flavorless) Ugh, this pulled off a crown when I was in my 30s. My dentist had to meet me on a Saturday to put it back on. He told me he didn't deny me candy but that I should skip those because he was fairly certain that he used the same stuff to remove crowns and fillings to work on the teeth. :tongue_smilie: I love my dentist.
