Candy You Detest

[emason]

Licorice. Any kind. Just cannot stand that stuff. On the other hand I love mint, sour candies, coconut, and raisins.

Hard candy ended for me in my twenties when I actually broke a jaw tooth on a jaw breaker. My dentist was able to save the tooth, and I learned a very valuable lesson … don't always bite everything (like Jaw breakers) that you put into your mouth.

I won't go near Jawbreakers for that reason! Thanks for the reminder!

Speaking of American chocolate, I like American Kit Kats, but I wish we also got the cool flavors in the U.S. that they have around the world, especially in Japan. I guess we can blame Hershey for that as they own U.S. Kit Kat while Nestle owns the global Kit Kat. At least Asian stores around here have some of the cool flavors.

I loathe anything gummy. Sticks to my teeth and I feel like I have to brush my teeth three times in a row to get all the residue out of my mouth. I dislike coconut and peanuts in candy just ruins the chocolate flavor to me.,Lindt Chocolate truffles are my absolute favorite, but while I agree North American chocolate is not the best, I do like Dove chocolate bars.

Last year my husband went to Japan for work and brought back every flavour of kitkat he could find. Lol! Strawberry was my favourite from that bunch.

We got back from Thailand last week and had a layover in Narita airport. We brought back 5 or 6 different types of flavoured kitkats. Yum!!

My favourite so far is Tokyo Banana.

I can't remember the brand, but those cheap gift box candies that are sold at CVS and Walgreens and stores like that. I have bad memories of biting into mysterious chocolates and ending up with some disgusting (to a child) liqueur or icky strawberry flavor. And the chocolate tasted waxy.

I looooove sour candy. I can eat my weight in sour patch kids. Yum

My mom used to keep boxes of those stashed away and I'd go into them. The ones she bought usually had a guide in them as to what chocolate was what, so you could choose the caramel and skip the strawberry cream (yuk).

I'm not a big fan of most chocolate so when I stopped eating dairy, it wasn't a big deal cutting out most chocolate. Of course, every once in a while, I want chocolate and it would be nice to just grab chocolate and not have to search for fancy and pricey chocolate even if it's better. Sometimes I just want cheap, crappy chocolate! lol! Or a reece's or milky way dark...

My favorite chocolate now? Neuchatel Chocolates. It's a Swiss chocolate shop right near me and they make their chocolates right on the premises. All their dark chocolates are dairy free plus they have vegan chocolates (vegan milk chocolate and white chocolate!) and vegan truffles! SO GOOD!

Other candy? I've always liked fruity stuff. Starbursts, skittles, etc. I'm not as big on skittles anymore though. I really like black forest gummy bears though (they're gluten free).

I really don't like any banana flavored candy.

The ones my mother bought had no guide. I’d wait until nobody was watching and break them slightly open from the bottom and then smoosh the nasty ones back together.

One year in high school I got Valentine’s Day chocolates from two boys. One was all chocolate with coconut filling. That boyfriend didn’t last long after that.

I have never hated any sweets. Until i tasted the Swedish (or was it Finnish) licorice that has the aftertaste of urine. That was seriously awful. Until then, I didn’t mind licorice, but our one doesn’t taste like if one is licking the toilet.

I am sure it was Finnish.

Someone brought Swedish licorice into work last week. It was the most horrible thing I've ever tasted. And I love black licorice.

Thought of another "candy" that I hate.... chocolate covered coffee beans.

Did it also smell of ammonia?

 

[MacMadame]

I didn't notice that but it did have this weird aftertaste that reminded me of vomit

I love chocolate covered coffee beans but the one time I ate them I didn't sleep for over 24 hours.

I don't like coffee and didn't realize that was what was under the chocolate. So you can imagine my surprised when I bit into it and my mouth was instantly filled with what seemed to be coffee grounds.
