Worst candy

[ergative]

I've been thinking more about this. Aren't they called 'bullseyes'? When I google 'bullseye candy' I get all these links to the company Goetze, which makes 'caramel creams': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goetze%27s_Candy_Company

So it seems that they're a genuinely independent brand. I recognize the packaging, but I also remember the brown and orange packaging that was discussed upthread. So there might be knockoff bullseyes that make their appearance this time of year.

Also, whoppers are super gross.

I like Whoppers. At least, I like the first few. More than five is blah. More than ten is yucky. This is good, as I never overeat Whoppers.

Don't like malt. Tastes like chalk.

Oh yeah. Whoppers. Them things nasty.

It's the variety packs. They mix the garbage candy, as filler, with the desirable candy. I went out and bought Hershey chocolate, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Kit Kats, and I mixed them altogether. Kids deserve better than getting filler candy like Butterfingers, Snickers, and Baby Ruth.

De gustibus, clearly!

Snickers & Butterfingers over Kit Kat & Hershey chocolate any day! You and I should split a variety pack--although we might need to fight over the Reese's.

I will eat almost any candy but if someone set out a bowl of Hershey's Kisses I wouldn't touch them. I don't hate them; they're just boring.

Speaking of boring, Werther's Caramels, too.

Here's a retro one for Canadians--Thrills gum (it was purple and tasted like soap)
Actually, I also remember gummy candies that tasted like soap.

I never encountered it, but it looks like you can buy it on Well.ca ...

I loved thrills.  It did kinda taste like soap, but in an oddly good way.

I don't care for those Halloween kiss candies (molasses I think).
