what's your least favorite candy?

[BookstoreEscapee]

I love black licorice-- particularly the super-strong stuff that's strong enough to numb one's tongue like menthol or cloves do.

Black Sambuca. (OK, it's not candy, but dammit, it should be!)

I HATE watermelon "flavored" candy-- it tastes salty and sweaty in a very bad way, no matter what.

I like some watermelon. Hate raspberry flavored (though I love raspberries).

Anything sour...just don't like. Although I can sometimes choke down a sour patch kid.

Then you wouldn't want this?

Oh yeah, I love watermelon and raspberry-- the fruits. Not so much the artificial flavors.
Only expensive white chocolates for me. Anything midrange to cheap is waxy, or tasteless, or heavy with butter-feel and it's muy gross.

Big mistake Bella--rant engaged:

What I didn't mention in my earlier post--the big, dump-bin boxes full of Snickers, Milky Way, Mounds, the aforementioned Mary Jane Kisses. They come up to my waistline and I had thought they were completely full of bags of candy. They weren't--only about 3/4s full. The bottoms of the boxes are reinforced.

I didn't have to do anything with that candy, but we will have to box it up and backstock it pretty soon since we're now busy setting new mall aisle spots and endcaps and just generally making like Halloween never happened.

And then that candy will just rot away in the backroom, we'll have to count it all, bag by bag, when inventory comes next year (last check of my scanner showed us having something like 600 bags of snickers on hand), and we'll toss it when it hits its expiration date because there's no way in hell it will all sell through in time.

So we'll just be sitting on a metric fuckton of candy. Just like the 500 or so 30-packs of clothes hangers and the 500 or so pillows the DC sent in that we thought were going to be part of bigger sales, but weren't and we're just sitting on them.

Our buyers are complete imbeciles, and if it were up to me they wouldn't have lives jobs any more.

*ahem* If I were in your general area, I would be happy to take everything except the maryjanes off your hands....*sigh* Ya'll can't donate it or something? have a special (Buy 3 get one free)? Still better than just chucking it....at least with donating it it's a tax write off.

But seriously, I would happily take all the Snickers off your hands. I don't think I've ever had Milky Way, nor Mounds, but Snickers...

And I just remembered something else I didn't like - those weird faux fruit flavoured marshmallows.

Black licorice
Twizzlers (used to like them, now they just taste like wax)
Palmer's chocolate (really cheap and not good at all)
Anything coffee or coconut flavored

I so agree on the licorice that is one nasty ass flavor. And the Twizzlers...so either black or red

gummy candy

jolly ranchers

those giant sweet lollipops that are nothing but sugar on a stick.

There is very little candy I like actually.

circus peanuts are an abomination in the eyes of god. And black licorice is proof that satan walks the earth

So saith my sister.

-Tootsie Rolls and Tootsie Pops
-Mary Jane Kisses

Candies that I can only handle so much of:
-grape flavored stuff
- white chocolate (I usually only eat white chocolate around Valentine's Day when the Hershey Hugs are out)

I like most candies, but I can only eat a bit before my tummy goes into full scale rebellion. I can't eat sweets like I used to.

White chocolate. It does not taste like chocolate to me. It tastes like sadness and evil trying to masquerade itself as chocolate.

There's a lot of debate on whether or not white chocolate can be considered real chocolate. White chocolate does have the cocoa butter aspect, but it lacks the cocoa solids that other forms of chocolate have. I'm not much a fan of the stuff either. It's too sweet for me. I much prefer a nice piece of extremely dark chocolate.

If I remember correctly, white chocolate is nothing more than solid cocoa butter.

No one has mentioned Peeps yet?

Ok, maybe that's more of a seasonal treat, but I think those things are natural vomit inducers.

I don't think they have....but yeah I don't deal with those at all. Blech. I don't know what Mary Jane Kisses are and probably don't want to.

[blas]

You'd know them if you saw them. They are also vomit inducing to the sight.

I brought this discussion to work with me the other night, and as soon as I said Mary Jane kisses, everyone's face went sour.

Okay, gimme yours then. I loves white chocolate.

[BookstoreEscapee]

And sugar.

I never liked white chocolate by itself. I do like Hershey Hugs, though.

The other day I bought a box of chocolate covered cherries...the cheap kind that they put out at Christmas. But it's not specifically "Christmas" candy (the box is red but not otherwise holiday-themed) so I can buy them in November.

[blas]

I love chocolate covered cherries.

I found another candy I don't like....those little Whoppers or whatever they are called....they come in a tube shaped wrapper and they are little round chocolates and something else. Eck.
