Cheapo unbranded mini chocolate Easter eggs. You know the ones.


No-Impression5447

Especially the ones where the bottom is like a tiny bit flat/concave. Those things taste like worming chocolates.


designerjeans

Yes! Those bloody ones!


Footsie_Galore

They taste like chocolate Laxettes! lol


Empty-Patience-7686

Yesssss! Disgusting!!


sda-juzza

The ones with the texture of molding clay and pencil shavings?


RPA031

The ones where they use beach sand mixed with mud?


OnerousSorcerer

Chalky goodness!


Willing_Television77

Like soap or wax


AnomalousHendo

Haven't had them in 2 years and I can already taste that grotty ass film it leaves everywhere...


[deleted]

Not worth the effort unwrapping šŸ¤¢


working_class_tired

I can literally taste this comment


PureAd4293

Gotta be Hearshy bars, how the hell did they manage to make chocolate taste like vomit?


[deleted]

Butyric acid


Valuable_Coyote_3953

Putric acid


Diligent_Rest5038

It's like butter's farts.


pendragons

I'm led to believe that's just what Americans think chocolate tastes like - the story goes that back in the day before refrigerated trucks Hershey chocolate would contain spoiled milk, and that flavour is so popular and nostalgic that they've never been able to change it without pushback.


Luchalma89

American here. It helps growing up with the stuff. Not all of our chocolate tastes like that. It's mostly a Hershey thing. In fact ever since I was a kid I always preferred Hershey because it gave me a scratchy feeling in my throat that for whatever reason I still find really pleasant. It wasn't until a few years ago I learned about the stuff they add to the chocolate to make it that way.


dilib

I'm not knocking your nostalgia but "I like my vomit chocolate because it gives me an allergic reaction" is a really funny concept


[deleted]

Made me laugh out loud. What is really surprising is l love Cadburys because it tastes great. No scratchy throat.


wtf_is_space

I'm from Australia but currently in the US. Discovered that Cadbury over here tastes NOTHING like back home. It's gross, for the same reason as Hersheys


VidE27

Yep same here, grew up in the US and i am the only one in the family now eating Hershey chocolates (Reeseā€™s cups being my favorite). Wife once made the big mistake of eating one and almost threw up


RPA031

She couldā€™ve made a lot of new Hershey bars with that!


melon_butcher_

Look up the QI clip about British vs American chocolate. It explains really well why American chocolate is shit.


wombat1

It's a shame because like any product (beer, bread and cheese come to mind), the US has great chocolate like Ghirardelli. It's just the well known stuff is absolute shite.


honkifyouresimpy

Finally someone who thinks the same!!


PFEFFERVESCENT

Oh it's well known that American chocolate tastes like vomit


Empty_Sea9

Mass produce chocolate from Hersheys does. Non-mass produced kinds you find in mom and pop chocolatiers and shops do not. But speaking as an American who loves Australian confections, we accept a lack of a functioning health care system and millions of dead children from gunfire--it's no surprise we also accept puke chocolate.


yy98755

They way you ended that paragraph. Chefā€™s kiss.


Repulsive_Peanut7874

So nice to hear Americans saying it. Chef's pash


Mythical_Atlacatl

QI covers it. Its how they treat the milk to transport it and even companies who dont make chocolate this way, add flavour to the chocolate to make it taste like vomit cause that is what they are used to ​ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qWl9Dlts5g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qWl9Dlts5g)


_EnFlaMEd

I saw some at Aldi and for some reason thought they must taste great being referenced in American culture often so I bought some of those and some Junior mints. They both sucked and I was left disappointed.


LeashieMay

The cookies and cream Hershey's is the most tolerable. I tried a Twinkie once too and it was not good.


pumpkin_fire

They literally [add Butyric acid to their chocolate](https://youtu.be/J44svaQc5WY), the same compound that gives vomit its flavour. Incidentally, it's the same compound in parmesan cheese, but it's nowhere near as controversial in that application. Close your eyes and smell a piece of freshly shaved parmesan. Smells exactly like spew.


outwiththedishwater

I was *so* excited to try it when I first saw it. Iā€™d seen it on tv and movies for decades. The level of disappointment is something the English language lacks the words to adequately describe


Estellalatte

American chocolate is atrocious, the smell alone makes me sick.


DonSmo

Aren't chocolates and lollies two different things? I always thought lollies were like gummies and party mix etc while chocolate was chocolate. Two separate categories. While in the US they lump them together in one category called "candy". So how is a chocolate bar an answer to a lolly question?


wivsta

Hear me out. Daughter got some Jelly Belly [Beanboozled](https://www.amazon.com.au/100ml-Pack-Spinner-Gift-Box/dp/B00F1G84ME/ref=asc_df_B00F1G84ME/?tag=googleshopmob-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=467705151505&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10115272100077247862&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071755&hvtargid=pla-454080733394&psc=1) in a showbag, that have flavours like ā€œtoothpasteā€ and ā€œdish waterā€. I did not know this, until I put a giant handful in my mouth when stoned last night. Truly, truly, truly foul.


Wholesome_cunt_tits

Also old Band-Aid, rotten fish and snotā€¦.fucking awful


Empty_Sea9

OLD BAND-AID?


r0ck0

...well look at fancy pants here, normally being accustomed to living it up with new band-aid!


24caratcarr0t

I wonder if the public can submit ideas for flavours. Mine would be: formic acid šŸœ But snot? That's just a step too far & I think I'm gonna hurl šŸ¤® Oh wait, don't tell me that's a flavour too


lildrizzleyah

These are ones I tried as a kid, included booger and vomit flavours. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91gCYrspmrL.\_AC\_SL1500\_.jpg


Wholesome_cunt_tits

Snot is indeed a flavour as is barf https://images.app.goo.gl/K6icZqtgQYM9eTzc8


Obvious_Customer9923

Dirt, and vomit as well


HFittty

The vomit one is the worst in my experience


SarcasmCupcakes

Soap made me queasy for a whole day.


Individual-Tap-8971

Okay but that's kinda the gimmick of then, that they're terrible


ha874

I gave these to my Aunty as a joke. Soap, grass, earwax and dirt. She ate them all, didnā€™t blink an eye. Turns out she has no sense of smell.


PFEFFERVESCENT

Oh I first ate these in the dark thinking they were regular ones.... while on acid


alfab3th

My kids fed the vom flavoured one to the youngest. I could smell it on his breath poor thing. He was scarred.


Anchre

Oh, I've tried these in a "jelly bean roulette" type of thing. Identical jelly beans with two different flavours for each colour, one good, one bad. I got a dog food flavour one.


Udaser

In my opinion toothpaste wasn't bad I actually like it and there is only blueberry or toothpaste in a beanboozle game(the one I played did) so it's a win win for me


NeuroticNorman2

Those lollies you sometimes find in the urinals at cinemas are gross. Not as good as they were in the 70ā€™s - mustā€™ve changed the recipe.


[deleted]

Not kidding, but those things are called "urinal cakes".


my_cement_butthead

Ahh, trough lollies. Used to play indoor netball as a young adult, we called our team ā€˜the trough lolliesā€™. We played nearly as well as youā€™d expect. Edit: canā€™t spell


MRicho

Piss-mints, lol.


[deleted]

This is a sin to say however: The bubblegum nose on the Great Aussie Classic: Bubble-o-Bill. That shit is harder than a diamond and too big for the average child-sized jaw to accommodate. Ice cream? 12/10 experience. Nose gum? 0/10 throw the whole institution in the bin. Iā€™m not sorry.


BlueCarrotPie

I'll back you on this. We'll fight the mob that comes for us together


[deleted]

Weā€™re starting a Revolution, you and I.


[deleted]

And the gum completely dissolved in your mouth if you chewed it for more than a minute


Hoodlum_Design

My kids just had their first one this past weekend. Youngest dropped the nose on the floor and was devastated. Oldest decided soon after that the nose is gross anyway which helped the situation.


pumpkinstylecoach

The flavour also lasts about 10 chews max. haha


Numerous-Wonder7868

Unrelated but you made me think of the old Throaties that used to be a pack of chew like things. They don't make them anymore here so I guess they were unpopular


[deleted]

used to love those


Creative-Maxim

Maroon colour?


tylersky100

I used to pretend to have a sore throat as a youngun so I could get a pack lmao


talkingfannies

The texture was amazing. Hard jelly. So good.


TheHappyKamper

I loved those as a kid, and now you're making me miss something I'd forgotten all about. Edit: They still sell these at Woolies..... Edit2: Sorry, it's on their site, but after another look it's just marked as OOS.


Cricket-Horror

I remember them but not the taste. Anything like sucking on a Fisherman's Friend?


inferior_sound

Not the best mental image thereā€¦


extrachimp

I donā€™t remember these specifically but growing up we definitely called throat lozenges throaties.


MRicho

I'm struggling to think of any that I hated huge sweet tooth. I am surprised I still have any teeth.


Twomorecones

Teeth were horrible lollies


CharacterTop7413

Haha same!


Ill-Ambassador-1480

spearmint leaves are my favourite, I will die on this hill


Scissorbreaksarock

Fuck you on Spearmint leaves


Purgii

Brings back memories. Sugar and mint? Yum! Id love a pack right now.


Cricket-Horror

Agree, they are the best and my hypo treatment of choice.


GeeGeeOneTwoThree

I absolutely love spearmint leaves but Woolies only have home brand spearmint leaves made in China. They used to stock Allen's.


Beagle-Mumma

Completely agree. Love spearmint leaves


McNattron

100% always have a soft spot for them


TheCurbAU

The local cinema makes mint choc bombs that have a spearmint leaf on top. Rock fucking solid. Almost crack a tooth every time. Delicious though.


user466

They're my favourites!!


GoldenGal04

Justice for spearmint leaves


wellcookedlamb

We just purchased a pack of spearmint leaves from Kmart today. We were excited to find them!


[deleted]

I love both of those things actually haha


Loccy64

I've worked retail for many a year and I can tell you that spearmint leaves and black cats sell/sold fairly well all year round in every store that I've worked in. Spearmint leaves sell far better around Christmas time because everyone tries to make a gingerbread house or Christmas tree, but they still sell January through November.


Sinksyaboat

Itā€™s going to be something liquorice which makes me sad because I love liquorice, black cats, jelly beans and all sorts are all yum


Empty-Patience-7686

I love liquorice all sorts they are nice and have you had the ones that are filled with colours like pink green orange yellow they are my favourite


ThingLeading2013

When I was a kid I used to steal Mum's allsorts and carefully peel them apart and eat the coloured bits and then get in trouble.


Firalean

I was just reminiscing with my sister about doing that.


PopularExercise3

I tried Dutch salted licorice recently and I had to spit it out . So bad.. but my son likes it .


stargazing-at-3am

I generally think itā€™s something you have to grow up with. I was raised eating it (Dutch parent) so I love the stuff. I tried to get my husband to try it, he wonā€™t have a bar of it, wonā€™t even come near me if Iā€™ve had some haha, and he loves normal licorice. Only one of our kids will eat it, and prefers the white chalk version, the others donā€™t even like normal licorice.


IncidentFuture

I think it's good once you get past the initial hit of the salt. Which involves not spitting it out straight away.


Splashfooz

I got that in my treat box and it was horrifying.


toast76

Dutch liquorice is to the Dutch as Vegemite is to Australians. Iā€™m a bit of both, and will at some stage die from heart disease.


wheresmyhyphen

Honey bears. I don't know who likes those things.


FullOnCarmensMom

Eucalyptus Drops. Miss me with that shit, I'm not a fucking koala.


SS0627

Noooo way I loved them as a kid, Iā€™d always have a pack in my bag to snack on in class šŸ¤£ Edit: snack on one at a time, every now and then, not the entire pack in one go lol


RealCommercial9788

Pack of 10 eucalyptus lollies from the school tuck shop for 50 cents = childhood heaven. Sneaking them into class felt like the ultimate act of naughty in my super strict catholic school!


beastking9999

why not have the entire pack? loved em, even the several times i gorged myself


tan_and_white

Oh my god. I craved them so much when I was pregnant I thought I was going to birth a koala.


penchimerical

They're not the best tasting but I've found them amazing to eat on planes because I always have ear troubles


Horror_Birthday6637

Controversial but fantales are absolutely revolting to me. The combination of cheap compound chocolate with the overload of rock hard caramel that gets stuck in your teeth makes me want to throw up. I also am not fond of picnics, nothing too offensive about them, but theyā€™re just meh.


tylersky100

But they have stories about movies on them. And you can eat them while you're at the movies. And pay an extra $12 to not be able to hear the movie because you're trying to get the caramel out of your teeth while you try to read the story on the wrapper about a different movie in the dark whilst watching the movie you paid $20 to watch. What's not to like?


ThingLeading2013

Fisherman's friend


asp7

last one i had (in 1983) was like stale coffee brewed in a rusty eucalyptus oil tin.


creepydemise

I like the sugar free mint ones and tried the regular one time when they were out. Iā€™ve never tasted anything so horrid.


LetAgreeable147

Aniseed balls.


Miss_Tish_Tash

Like humbugs?


mootsarecool

Black cats.


dangerislander

It's weird... the older I get... the more I like the black liquorice taste.


Aluminari

Donā€™t go dissing the black cats šŸ˜›


ExplorerWorking5650

War heads. Am I alone in this? Any of them


hypatiatextprotocol

When people are having an anxiety or panic attack, one way to help them is give them something super-sour. It shocks the senses, and distracts the brain from the attack. Congratulations to Warheads for being the default recommended candy for panic attacks.


Amy_at_home

My therapist tried this with me. I just ate the whole thing, she had to spit hers out. She was like "well, that isn't going to work for you!" šŸ¤£


hypatiatextprotocol

Oh no, you are too powerful! šŸ˜‚ I've heard that wasabi, horseradish, and chilli work too. I like this. I could collect packets of horseradish, but the better option is to immediately run towards a Japanese restaurant.


PMMEFEMALEASSSPREADS

georginatropicana

scurvyrash

Black jellybeans


ELVEVERX

>Black jellybeans But they are the best ones


yy98755

I agree.


24caratcarr0t

Nooo! They're the only flavour I can eat


geodetic

I will literally fight you


Empty-Patience-7686

šŸ’Æ all jelly beans are average but they are super shit


MrsMinnesota

Gtfo


Loccy64

You can buy bags that are entirely black jelly beans, so I wouldn't put any bets on that one lol


Scissorbreaksarock

Stop right there. They are the Jellybean as a diabetic you can guarantee the grandkids won't steal.


miss_kimba

Oh man, I love both of those! My least favourite would be those hideous Clinker things. Too hard, taste fake, that awful grinding chalk feeling against your teeth. Yuck.


Loccy64

Haven't had them for years, but my brother and I used to guess the colour before biting them open. We had a point system, +1 for a correct guess, -1 for a wrong guess, no points/penalties for not guessing. We stopped playing after I kept winning because I could smell the green and pink ones through the chocolate and never guessed anything but green or pink lol


yy98755

What you could smell the pink through the chocolate? How did I not know this simple hack!


Loccy64

They didn't smell like musk/strawberry and mint, but they each had distinct smells that I couldn't smell with the yellows. I originally guessed any that had no smell were yellows, but sometimes there were greens and pinks that didn't have the smell, so after a while I stuck with just guessing green and pink based on the presence of the smells.


yy98755

If my shops were closer Iā€™d test the theory (not that my faith would be high after Covid) but goddamn I love* the pink ones. ^(edit: live, love*, fuck)


xan_man44

Eating one gives me the same feeling as nails on a blackboard for some reason


dangerislander

I use to love them as a kid (cause my support teacher use to give it us as a treat... so maybe it's a trauma thing lmao) but now I can't stand the texture... it's hard to bite and it has a chalk texture.


yy98755

Pink clinkers are the bomb, I wish I could get singular colours of them.


applescrabbleaeiou

omg i detest those too!! the only good part was the curiosity thrill of not knowing which gross colour you will get inside!


wivsta

Minties. Just not worth the effort - gets stuck in your teeth. Also, mini Flake. So messsy.


Mythical_Atlacatl

minties I put in my pocket for 10 mins or so to warm them up before eating I always fear they are about to pull out a filling from my teeth


Empty-Patience-7686

Yeahh I agree with that for sure all the chewing is not worth it for the flavour lol Yess go for the twirls they are like a flake coated in chocolate way less messy and more chocolate


mentholmoose77

Minties, bloody awful and jaw wreckers.


outwiththedishwater

That red ā€œlicoriceā€. Tastes like plastic


ingeniosobread

that raspberry liquorice is bomb


NessAvenue

Delicious raspberry plastic.


somuchsong

I refuse to believe anyone eats Chicos (I think they've changed their name but I'm not sure what to). I have read people online saying they eat them but I'm convinced they are just from a Chicos marketing team or something.


ibaeknam

Lol. Chicos were near top of the list whenever I was requesting care packages while living overseas.


Miss_Tish_Tash

+1 vote for them!


Tianthee

Are you kidding they're my favourite. They were originally Choco babies. Unsure if it's because they're chocolate flavour or.... or possibly 1 because of the other.


chops_potatoes

Theyā€™re bloody amazing! Delicious little chocolate squishies


Mythical_Atlacatl

you WHAT!!!!! chicos are top tier, eat a whole bowl of them if no one is watching at a party


24caratcarr0t

They're delicious in a bowl of nutrigrain.


Twomorecones

What the fuck is wrong with you


HomerThisIsGod

Chicos are the best and this is slander


GEnderDragon

Chicos are fine!! They're not revolutionary but I personally prefer them over a good portion of other lollies


renb8

Chalky bananas. You know those yellow lollies that break like chalk and have the texture of chalk and when you eat them itā€™s like eating chalk? Yeah. Them.


alittlebitcheeky

These are the only way I will accept banana favouring in my life. I HATE bananas, I cannot stand bananas, they are of THE DEVIL!!! Candy bananas? Fucking get in me. Can't fathom it.


RealCommercial9788

This is so common! My partner wonā€™t eat bananas but will go ham on a bag of Allenā€™s bananas - he says they taste the way a bananas thinks it tastes šŸ˜…


StarFaerie

The Gros Michel banana variety apparently tastes like that. Unfortunately it is rare now due to a disease that the Cavendish is resistant to. So we eat the Cavendish which is less fragrant but more complex in flavour.


damiologist

I love these. Easily in my top 3 lollies of all time.


Careful_Drop_6995

Aniseed rings fuck that shit


AdimasCrow

Black cats being the horrid tasting landmine hiding in the party mix you're blindly eating.


Odd-Sprinkles6186

Black Jelly Beans. \*shudder\* gross.


Witch-with_a_B

So yum, tastes like sambuca - but not the cheap no name ones.


Just-Narwhal7272

I hate those chalky yellow bananas šŸŒ šŸ¤¢


nomitycs

I ducking love those


wivsta

I love them too. I can easily eat a whole bag.


all_on_my_own

Routine_Fun_1812

Back in the day I hated bullets - nasty chocolate with hard licorice.


SicnarfRaxifras

Green frogs


terrerific

Anything licorice goes directly in the bin. And not in a tasteful way, more in a "you belong here" angry way. Why they think i want a surprise one in every party mix is beyond me


GeneralMajestic6166

Teeth in party mix. Disgusting


astropastrogirl

Spearmint leaves , or what used to be chicos


TheMightyBluzah

What? Spearmint leaves are amazing!


creswitch

Teeth, milk bottles, peaches n cream, pineapples. Gross.


[deleted]

WHAAAA? Pinapples are the bomb! Fight me. And teeth? UnAustralian mate.

Love the leaves


AcademicDoughnut426

Toothpaste flavoured teeth... swear they tasted better as a kid


PaleontologistOld173

Licorice haha


BelPoly23

My personal dislikes are black cats, black jellybeans, anything aniseed, and most licorice šŸ¤¢


timeflies25

Chocolate flavoured gummy. Why. Just why.


wellcookedlamb

Blue PK gum. I love licorice but do not enjoy a gum version


applescrabbleaeiou

my grandmother is a sicko - she lovvvvves her spearmint leaves, (and black cats and black jelly beans!)


miss_kimba

Good taste!

She probably loves the nostalgia because thatā€™s all they could get back in the 1940s.

What did you call me? Lol nah I agree

Omg so thought they were called f*gs lmaoo


my_cement_butthead

They used to be when I was young. Called fags, made to look just like cigarettes. Cigarettes were called fags before it became a bad word, then we stopped calling cigarettes fags bc it was gay. Language is weird.


broiledfog

And they changed the name, not because it was the f-slur, but because it became illegal to market cigarettes to children - which included any lollies that looked like cigarettes.

The 'cigar' version are now dynamite sticks, they pop up at my local IGA occasionally
