The people I work with have started to bring in candy and filling dishes around the shop over the past few weeks. Eventually they will guilt me into brining in candy to contribute to the fun. That made me think of what is the absolute worst and disgusting tasting candy I can recall ever eating. Growing up in a different era I think the government once thought candy was a basic food group. It was everywhere and not all of it was good.
1. Marshmallow Bananas
Sometimes called Circus Peanuts these awful tasting things are a banana flavoured candy which is akin to eating yellow styrofoam. Not sure what which one would be worse for you. They used to have these in little jars when I was a kid. Their upside, they would get so hard and stale they were perfect for throwing at the school bus.

2. Fruity Tootsie Rolls
You won’t get an argument out of me about the regular Tootsie Roll. I would eat them all day long but they crossed the line with the fruit flavoured version. They should have just left well enough alone.

3. Good and Plenty
Once a staple at the movie theatres but so was Keanu Reeves and that didn’t make either of them right. Black licorice disguised a candy. It’s just as bad as it sounds.
4. Allsorts Licorice
I have nightmares just thinking about having to eat one of these things. They are colourful and bright but they are black licorice. Pink and chocolate flavours mixed with black licorice. If there are sadistic aliens amongst us. They are most certainly responsible for this.

5. Snowballs
Including these as candy as they are as artificial and full of sugar as anything else called candy. Mmm, artificial flavoured coconut and cream. Not even if they were the last thing left after a nuclear war and trust me the would probably last.

6. Thrills
We chewed a lot of this as kids but mostly on account of being dared to. What kid on their own free will would stuff their mouth with soap flavoured gum?
