What was the WORST Halloween candy you got as a kid?

I was never liked smarties or sweet tarts.

my kids came home and low and behold they each had 1 orange and 1 black wrapped yucky candy.....after I was done laughing about them, they went straight in the trash!!

BITE YOUR TONGUE!! How can you disparage the mightiest of candies, the Mary Jane?

I came back from a week of traveling, and a miracle occurred. A heavenly light shone upon the candy dish and with angels singing I spotted two Mary Janes mixed in with the no sugar, low carb candies. DH was home when I was away and doesn't know where they came from.

so sorry!

are you old by any chance?? When we were kids we called them "old lady's candy"

I had just sneaked one of those brown wrapped candies from my son's bucket and was eating it when I opened this thread. lol.

I have such a sweet tooth I don't think any candy was bad to me. As a kid I didn't really like Almond Joys/Mounds so gave them to mom, but other than that, sign me up. Bottle Caps, Sweet Tarts, Mary Janes, Bit-O-Honey, Sugar Daddys/Babies, you name it, I loved it. Don't think I could eat a pixie stick now, but yum when I was a kid we downed them like, well, candy.

I'll never forget the little old lady from Poland who passed out ROLAIDS for Halloween one year. Bless her heart. I think of her every Halloween.

I thought Malted Balls were the worst. I called them Moth Balls. After that it was a close race between Zero bars, Necco Wafers, candy corn and popcorn balls.

One old man in the neighborhood gave popcorn balls every year. We'd tell our father we didn't want to stop there because all we'd get was a "crummy popcorn ball". Well, we'd get a lecture about being ungrateful, how he was a lonely old man...on and on...maybe we should just go home, etc. Years later we found out that the old man gave popcorn balls to the kids, but cold beer to the Dads. Lonely old man, my butt.

I hated those caramels with the white centers and the bubble gum that was rock-hard!

I LOVED those caramels with the icky sweet white center. I would have traded the black & Orange, Bit o Honey, Mike & Ike, Mary Janes etc.

Apples and orange peanut shaped marshmellows

I'll go with those black and orange candies...yuck!

What are MaryJanes? I've never heard of them.

We had one house that the lady told us to wait a few minutes the candy wasn't ready, so we stood and waited for what seemed liked 10-15 minutes. She comes back with these brown turd looking logs rolled in peanuts, they were wrapped in wax paper. We very nicely said thank you and after we got a few houses away the potty humor started. By the time we got home all we wanted to do was throw them out. We were both afraid to try to figure out what they really were.

Mary Janes hands down.....how can people actually like those??

My DD12 just discovered those and she thinks they are the best candy ever made

I always hated tootsie rolls and slo-pokes.

 

[Alice28]

I HATED those candies that were wrapped in black or orange paper. Nasty! I just threw them out every year. I also wasn't a big fan of Bit-o-Honey.

YES! When I read the title of the post that is immediately what came to mind. Grody.

 

[Deb & Bill]

Okay, everyone box up those peanut butter kisses (black and orange paper), tootsie rolls, Necco wafers, candy corn, Bullseyes (caramel with white center), Mary Janes and SEND THEM TO ME!! Those have got to be the best collection of Halloween candies ever.

You can have all my Shock Tarts, Sweet tarts, Nerds and such.

P.S. Don't send the popcorn balls, though. You can have those.

No candy that I didn’t like but as a kid I had trouble appreciating the bag of pennies that one neighbor handed out. Of course now I know that they only gave the money to the neighborhood kids they liked. They usually gave about $2 a bag.
