Thread: Top 10 Most Hated Halloween Treats!

TOP TEN MOST HATED HALLOWEEN TREATS.

1. Raisins

Little boxes of stuck-together shriveled globs are not what little kids schlep around the neighborhood for all night. When they say trick-or-treat, they want candy that will rot their teeth, not wrinkled grapes. (Using an empty box as a kazoo-like instrument, though, is kinda fun.)

2. Candy Corn

The most polarizing candy of all. The fruitcake of Halloween; it just never goes away. If you love them, fine. But don’t subject the rest of us haters to the sickeningly sweet triangle that tastes like neither candy nor corn.

3. Necco Wafers

These chalky candies are supposedly “fruit-flavored,” but no fruit I know tastes like dust — and makes everything eaten after taste like dust, too.

4. Dum Dum Lollipops

Usually, foods on a stick are yummy (corn dogs, ice pops), but Dum Dums just can’t be included on that list. Not even if they were breaded and deep-fried and served at a fair.

5. Apples

Long before “poisoned candy” scares, evil people were handing out apples instead of candy on Halloween. This disappointing “treat” is the main reason to avoid unwrapped food while trick-or-treating.

6. Toothbrushes

Dentists and orthodontists should not be allowed to celebrate Halloween if they’re going to get all tooth doctory on us. Do not bring your work home with you, folks! We all have a personal responsibility to brush, and maybe some of us will forget, but your complimentary bristles on a stick (instead of a Snickers) will not help us remember. It will make us despise you and your trade.

7. Tootsie Rolls

It looks like chocolate and sort of smells like chocolate, but the mini brown tubes are not real chocolate. They taste like watered-down chocolate, and have a chewy texture that will strip the fillings right off your molars.

8. Laffy Taffy

I do not laffy when I get these. I sobby. I get depressedy. Because it gets all stucky to my teethy and doesn’t even taste that goody.

9. Miscellaneous, Wrapped Hard Candies

Halloween is supposed to be a holiday for young people, not senior citizens who suck on hard candies all day. Something about the strawberry-shaped strawberries, gold-wrapped butterscotch, and peppermint way past the expiration date. (These usually get set aside for Granny.)

10. Anything Fun-Sized

Who started calling it this? Since when is one bite fun?! Give us the rich houses with the sprawling driveways and full-sized candy bars any day. Portion control doesn’t need to start this young.

Dont forget smarties.... YUCK!!!!!!!!

I like dum dums , laffy taffy and tootsie rolls. But I half to agree there's nothing fun about fun size candy bars.

I like most of the candy on this list...my kids would KILL for Smarties! My husband's ABSOLUTE favorite Halloween candy is Candy Corn! Walmart has Caramel Apple Candy Corn that rocks!
I don't actually "agree" with this list, but I thought I'd post it for some lively discussion!

No say it ant so. No Smarties! Really! I think almond joys should be on the list. I love them but to much protein. There walking in costumes not lifting weights. PS that's just a joke.

hey - i like candy corn! lol

i didnt like licorice anything (Still dont) or cowtails and im not a hard candy person. gimme the chocolate

Old candy from old people who don't use expiration dates should be added as well.

Hmmm....very true! Stale candy- hooray!

Or nickles wrapped in tinfoil, twisted to look like a Hersheys Kiss?

DOn't get me wrong, I am just joking, and anything people choose to give out is BETTER than the stingy folks who turn off their lights and bar their door!

I like all that's mentioned here, except for stale candy. Fun sized are made for different reasons. The tots will most likely get several of the same thing. They get a good stash of candy anyway, and they can pretty much get full size stuff year round. The rich houses probably have the finer stuff like Godiva.

I HATE people who do that. And it's more and more people as time goes on, No wonder Hallowe'en has gone to the dogs in this country.

I don't know what most of those sweets are because I'm not American...however, one thing we all used to hate was getting fruit. I think we used to just throw it away LOL
