First thing after trick-or-treating my sisters and I'd trade candy. Sometimes I was able to unload all the candy I thought was gross on them, but there was always some candy none of us couldn't get rid of BECAUSE NOBODY WANTED IT.
This nasty peanut butter taffy crap for example. I like peanut butter, but peanut butter taffy is a never-ending pain on both your jaw and your tongue. I think they are called Mary Janes, but it isn't really important, just don't buy or eat them.

Laffy Taffy is good. Correction: MOST Laffy Taffy is good. Banana Laffy Taffy however, is INCREDIBLY disgusting. It has this messed up burn-your-tongue-flavor that I think comes from some overpowering banana extract.
Butterscotch candy. The candy of super old people.
What the hell is wrong with people?! Stop handing this out.

Do you ever ask yourself, why did I ever stop eating butterscotch candy? Then you decide to eat a piece and you instantly remember, this is why I stopped eating butterscotch candy.
I've stocked up on Halloween candy for the Trick-or-Treaters! Almond Joy and Mounds bars. Of course, I've lived in this building since 1987 and I've never had a Trick-or-Treater knock on my door, but this could be the year. Or not.
This guy has no clue that if he does get Trick-or-Treater this year that he'll send them away from his front door dejected.
Almond Joy. More like Almond Misery. Consists of coconut that gets stuck in your teeth and a little chocolate to make you feel like maybe it's a treat. It's not.

This is not okay. Gummy candy shaped like hamburgers or other foods is nasty to look at and surely disgusting. I hope these get discontinued. These are tricks, not treats.
Lemon-heads are rough, icky canker-sore-forming nasties.
What's synonymous with colorful sugar flavor wax? Candy corn. This sickeningly sweet candy is a Halloween staple for some unforsaken reason, and the chocolate pieces and the pumpkins are even worse.
They stick to the paper. As in, the paper stays on the candy buttons after you've peeled them off the sheet. They taste like food dye and NOTHING else.
Speaking of little spots.... DOTS. DOTS are a lousy excuse for a candy. They are either too freaking hard to chew or are so gummy that they stick to your teeth. Luckily, I am usually fortunate enough to trade these for Smarties. #firstworldproblems I know.
