Worst Halloween candy, treats people actually give out – Asbury Park Press
Everyone loves to talk about the great things you can get for Halloween.
Snickers bars work well. Who doesn’t love a Kit-Kat? If someone in my neighborhood was giving out 100 Grand bars and I could find a costume to fit me, I’d be out there trick or treating. I’d probably be Justin Beiber or Ken from Barbie.
But what about the terrible things you get?
You ever walk up a huge flight of stairs to get a piece of fruit? Terrible.
Let’s take a look at the things you simply don’t want to get when you go trick or treating. Save these “treats” for your parents or your siblings.
Seriously? Pennies? Even a nickel. The only change needed is you to change what you give out.
I’m not sure if it was just because I lived on a street with a dentist or if this is a real thing, but you don’t go out looking for candy to fix your teeth. You do it for the exact opposite reason.
Remember these atrocities? You’d get two or three sugary pieces of trash with absolutely no taste in a little box. Awesome.
We’re talking about the vanilla peanut chews here. I’m not sure if that’s truly what they are, but that’s what they taste like. Not a winner.
This was my dad’s favorite, and they were abysmal. I guess if you’re planning to live a life of drinking Sambuca, they’re good. There should never be black licorice flavors of anything. Not even black licorice.
I’ll be candid, I enjoyed these as a kid. But as an adult, having life experiences, I know they’re nothing more than counterfeit Sweet Tarts without any taste.
This had to be a mistake when they were first produced. If you’ve never had them, consider yourself lucky. They’re little sugary, thin circles that taste like chalk. I haven’t seen them in years, perhaps the government finally shut ‘em down.
Let’s be honest, we all know bananas are the worst fruit. It’s not sweet, it’s bland. They’re good for you, pack plenty of potassium, but aren’t too flavorful. So why would you eat something that is bad for you and tastes like a banana? You know why they don’t make broccoli Sour Patch Kids? Same reason they shouldn’t make banana candy!
Perhaps if you get a lot of bears trick or treating in your neighborhood, these would be appropriate. Since I don’t, and the bee from the Honey Nut Cheerio commercial never visits my home in costume, I don’t buy these because there isn’t a person who really likes these things.
If senior citizens were the ones going trick or treating, this would be a good one. But no kids like this. It’s like taking good chocolate and filling it with mouthwash. Why not just use mouthwash?
