Seeing as I grew up in the land of NECCO wafers, I like them. They taste like chalk but tolerable. Circus peanuts I can do without and don't even get me started on Peeps. They have so many absolutely disgusting sounding flavors now. YUCK!!! Anything peanut butter Candy corn anything peanut butter those nasty ass peanut butter log things. DH used to eat them Butterfinger Anything peanut butter
Are you saying you don't like peanut butter? What ever gave you that idea ?

NECCO wafers are great, just not the black licorice ones. peeps and circus peanuts for sure Sugar Babies/Daddy Mike 'n Ike (whichever one was pink and white. the fruity colored ones weren't awful) and, for me, anything chocolate. but that's just me. I'm sorry. This pains me, but we can't be friends ever again

This. Anything banana flavored other than a banana is an abomination. That goes for watermelon too Add cherry and grape to that. Agree, except I do like watermelon Jolly Ranchers and Now ‘N Laters. The same candies in green apple is my 2nd favorite. I only like orange SweetTarts. I’ll pick them out and eat them and throw the rest away if there’s no one around that will eat them for me lol. And I like peanut M&M’s. I just had some a couple days ago. That’s it for me as far as candy goes. Almost everything else is nasty to me. I can’t remember the last time I had Jolly Ranchers or Now ‘n Laters, it’s been years. I’m not a big candy eater.

I'm sorry. This pains me, but we can't be friends ever again Right! I LOVE chocolate! But not chocolate candy, unless dark chocolate covered almonds is considered candy. My daughter doesn’t like chocolate at all. I’m like “who RAISED you”?! How can a daughter of mine not like chocolate?? But my grandson likes it, so I share with him. My oldest granddaughter is a hater like her Mom. The baby’s tastes are yet to be determined.

I always look for interesting candy at Big Lots before I visit the grandkids and brought a large pack of Necco Wafers once. They loved them. I think they even liked the licorice ones. Agreed on candy corn and circus peanuts- both have weird aftertastes. Anything peanut butter Candy corn anything peanut butter those nasty ass peanut butter log things. DH used to eat them Butterfinger Anything peanut butter No Reese's peanut butter cups? Heresy! And, even though they're cookies and not candy, the day the blood bank stops giving out Nutter Butter cookies to donors is the day I stop donating blood.

Anything mint flavored. No mint/chocolate patty things, whatever they are called. I love to eat fresh mint but that's a whole different thing

I imagine it was detectable until they moved their operations to Revere, Massachusetts in 2003 but if one walked along the Charles River walkway on the Boston Back Bay area side, you could smell the NECCO wafers being made on the Cambridge side of the river in the New England Confectionery Company factory.
The factory was lit up at night too and you couldn’t miss it.

Agree, but don't know what NECCO wafers are. a candy that's been around a very long time. there's a pic here - linkthis candy went away for awhile when the company went bankrupt. but the new company that bought them out started making them again. As kids, we used to pretend the NECCO candies were holy communion wafers.

I once ate so many circus peanuts that I got really, really sick....never again. Not fond of Necco wafers, nor banana flavored stuff.
Just a little side note & this may not work for everyone, but for some of us...eating red twizzlers will stop diarrhea in it's tracks....just in case you have that handy but nothing else for that problem. I know TMI!, but it's about teaching & learning.

I'm sorry. This pains me, but we can't be friends ever again more for you? I'll still be your friend. I know some people who like salty and sweet just don't like chocolate. That's OK, I'm not a big salty & sweet person. Like Cilantro, but different.

I read Best candy ever!
H. and I were discussing this last night! We decided Big Hunks were the best when we were kids. Red licorice Bings - a long time ago. Little Hershey variety bars M & M peanuts and almonds Jelly beans Ranchers Flavored life savers. There were more but I don't remember what they were. I am desiring candy now.

As kids, we used to pretend the NECCO candies were holy communion wafers. Did you say all the words to each other? What was the wine? Along this line, with services online, I did my own communion with any cracker type thing and pickle juice!

I was out of school for 6 weeks and never got caught up with classes.

I was out of school for 6 weeks and never got caught up with classes. I went to Midnight Mass at a Catholic Church and lost my hearing aid in my cousin's room the same night. My appendicitis decided to make it's appearance as my Christmas present. I can't remember any candy in that time period but I do know that shoving 2 Big Macs and 2 orders of fries in one's face, within hours of each other, after not eating solid food for 5 days, will REALLY get everything moving!!!

Black licorice Peeps NECCO wafers Circus peanuts Candy corn. I’ll take your NECCO wafers and candy corn. 😉😁 Granted as I’ve gotten older, I like Indian corn more than candy corn. I’ll eat Peeps and Circus peanuts but it’s been a long time since I ate either of them. My grandmother loved black licorice but a certain kind I believe. My mom would know.

Yes to all of these. I would also add anything "banana" flavored. I love bananas, but have never found a banana flavored candy that tasted like anything like banana. This. Anything banana flavored other than a banana is an abomination. That goes for watermelon too I used to love banana BB Bats. Those and the strawberry ones were the shit. Swedish Fish rule.

I was five when I first encountered meringue mice. It was in Tanzania, in the seventies, when there was absolutely no chocolate to be found except on the edges of tin-wrapped biscuits. Everyone around me claimed that these pastel things were the bees' knees and that I should be glad that it was Christmas and they were around. I thought they were gross. Maybe it was the humidity, which instantly transformed something that I understand is meant to be crunchy into something quite similar to a circus peanut. Maybe the problem was the complete lack of flavoring. There wasn't a hint of mint, or lemon, or orange, or vanilla, in that egg, sugar and food coloring mix. Even the food coloring was used very sparingly.
They were basically unflavored, under-cooked, over-sweetened, necco wafers that had gone stale.

That works too I don't drink coffee, never acquired the taste for it. The only thing it was ever good for was soaking my paternal grandmother's ROCK HARD sugar cookies in so you could actually eat them. They were awful. She was a terrible cook but one fantastic gardener.
