5 Candies That Belong In The Trash


Spooky Season is drawing to an end, as Halloween is this week. We've all been there during our trick or treat years getting some candy you absolutely do not care for. As an adult I try to buy faithful candy to hand out to the kids. Yet, there is still some Halloween candy available that just absolutely belongs in the trash. 

So I'm here to share five candies that don't deserve to be eaten for Halloween, or anytime of the year.


Dots


I love gummies as a snack and candy. Gummy bears, Gummy worms, gummy rings just about anything Gummy. With the exception of DOTS, I have absolutely no need for them. Dots are a little too hard and chewy, the texture of dots sticks in your teeth well after you've ate them.

Everyone can be done a favor and just avoid them altogether. If you get a box for Halloween toss it in the trash.

Whoopers


Take a chocolate covered piece of candy that resembles a bald head, put something crunchy in the middle. And boom you have Whoppers, invented as candy in 1949. I have absolutely no idea how this piece of candy has survived all of these years. It just isn't a useful piece of candy and I don't know a single soul clamoring for Whoopers.

Yet, every Halloween there's packs of whoppers by themselves, and mixed into variety bags. And people still hand them out every year. When they really shouldn't waste anyone's time and just don't bother buying them.

Gobstopper

As a kid I would eat a Gobstopper, made famous by taking its name from the famous candy maker in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. I didn't think twice about it as I consumed them. As an adult though, who in the hell really wants to eat candy that could literally break your tooth? 

Those things are so damn hard to chew I rather do without it. Anyone buys that, they can keep it to themselves.


Almond Joy


For the record anything coconut flavored is an absolute NO for me. And when it comes to chocolate candy bars it is definitely bottom of the barrel. I've tried through the years at various times to give it a chance. And nope can't do it at all.

Almond Joy absolutely belongs in the trash.

Candy Corn


For something that only comes out during fall/Halloween season and is synonymous with it. Candy Corn really had no business being invented nor tied to Halloween much as it is. I really have nothing good to say about candy corn, and even with new variety of flavors added. Just can't bring myself to say anything good about it.

Candy Corn not only belongs in the trash, the recipe needs to be burned.
