The worst candy ever

Thread title made me think of these.

Yeah the only way I take my black licorice flavor is with Jagermeister, ice cold. And it is still hard, till I get through the first 3 shots. I do like shoestring red licorice sometimes. Haven't had it in quite awhile though.

My grandpa loved circus peanuts and orange slices. I would ask for some because....candy. Not a huge fan of either.

Here's a few Aussie icons I grew up on.





Who remembers when these used to be called

I preferred the milkos to the Redskins.
White Knight over Choo Choo bar.
I used to love the fags.
All us kids would be running around pretending to smoke.
You could also get a big musk cigar called 'The Boss.'

Somewhere in Asia I bought some tamarind lollies. Disgusting. :-)

Say, going serious for a second, does anyone remember a candy from the 60s that was 'similar' to Lifesavers, but were made without the hole (I think they were thicker in the center, actually) and the flavors were more sour or tart than Lifesavers were?

They were packaged in a similar roll form to Lifesavers too.

Damned if I can recall a name for the product.

I kind of remember these too. Very shiny/glassine look to the surface. Cherry flavor sticks out most in my mind. Where lifesavers were flat tasting these had some zing. Can't remember the name either.

I think you're on to them.

I recall cherry and grape.  Way more tartness than Lifesavers.  No hole, rolled up similar though, and thicker in the middle.  Transparent rings a bell too.

Licorice tastes like ass......I assume.

It's prolly a local thing, but Yellowman is pretty popular in Norn Iron. It is a thoroughly disgusting mixture of sugar, golden syrup, vinegar and bicarb.

I'd sooner eat bark.

I'm wondering what sort of so-called treats are likely to remain in other's homes, untouched for all of eternity? Or until an apocalyptic event of some kind?

Almond Roca.

My dad gave me a container back around Christmas. It still hasn't been opened. Been thinking of just taking it over to my parents' house and leaving it next to his chair so it will actually get eaten.

Yes, do that please. Almond Roca should not go to waste. I would gladly take it off your hands if I could!

I would gladly PM you my mailing address, as long as they're not the abomination called "Dark Roca."
