Top Three Thursday* – Sad Halloween

Hey guys! Yesterday was my four year anniversary so didn’t get to post, but never fear! Your T3 is still here!

Although Halloween is around the corner, we all started seeing the candy back in August. I noticed that some of the WORST candy of our childhood have finally started to slip away. These kids will never know the disgust of this week’s TOP 3 WORST HALLOWEEN CANDIES!

Honorable Mention:

These were always pretty gross, but every now and then you’d get ONE cherry out of the bag and be able to enjoy it before your older sibling stole it. I’m actually curious to revisit these as I find myself liking the cola flavored gummy bears now. Maybe I’m getting old. Maybe…

 

3)CANDY CORN

I’m not going to lie, I like candy corn. I mean if it’s there I’ll eat it it’s not that big of a deal to me. Why it still made my list however is because I have never seen these individually packaged. Anytime I received this odd candy at Halloween it was always loose at the bottom of my bag and thus never got to eat it because my mom was thorough and made me throw them all away. Candy corn gets the third spot not just because of its strange indecipherable taste, but for the promise of candy never fulfilled.

2) SALTWATER TAFFY

The first time I had saltwater taffy I was appalled. How dare they give me this chewy, half melted tasting, barely sweet, teething candy. The oils would seep through the parchment wrapper and the colors never matched any distinguishable flavor (looking at you “watermelon” design!). They looked fun and bright until you popped one in your mouth and realized, “I didn’t sign up for this type of time commitment.”

1) I don’t even know the real name, THAT’S HOW HORRIBLE THEY ARE!

GOD WHY?!! The color of a cheeto and the taste of fake peanut flavoring (why is this a thing?!). The texture was always too rubbery to be a marshmallow and not chewy enough to be a gummy. Just make it stop. Not even in my childish candy craving crazes did these EVER become a consideration. I can truly say I’ve never dabbled with the peanutmallow during a candy desperation. I’m clean of this ungodly concoction! Where does one even get these anymore? Do i know anyone who willingly ate these? I never saw them sold in stores when I was a kid. You had to go out of your way to provide this incredibly disgusting excuse for a candy.  I feel like the people that gave these out truly hated children and just wanted to make them cry.
