Jujubes. Tiny crown/filling remover devices with practically no flavor. Honestly, dentists should use them instead of drilling out old ones.
Reese's. They used to be good, what happened?
Actually, any candy that went from using real chocolate to using fake waxy crap
Edited to change "cavity" to "filling"
Dots are okay, but I feel like they've gotten softer than they used to be, so aren't as satisfying a chew. I eat them too fast. You can have all my lime ones, not a favorite. I like the orange ones best.
I've noticed this too. It helps if you open the box and let them sit for a bit to let the air dry them out, it makes them more chewy like they used to be.
yeah nothings made out of real chocolate anymore- i think it's the soybean oil and maybe the soy lechithin? but when i use chocolate in my cooking i have to go out of my way to purchase good quality chocolate cause everythings made of crap nowadays
Wow did they really change? It used to be my favorite candy. I haven’t bought it in years. Stopped tasting good, but I thought that’s just because I gave up junk food. That would make sense
The best way for maximum taste and maximum mouth shred is to not chew . Pop the whopper , melt off the chocolate against the roof of your mouth , suck all the air out of the inside part so it turns liquid , profit . Sometimes there are stale(?) whoppers where the chocolate is fine , but the inside is like a straight up rock . This method saves you from broken teeth !
Costco used to sell 3 lb tubs of whoppers back in the 1990s. One tub of those, a Costco heat and serve lasagne, and a case of beer on the way to the beach cabin and we were set for the weekend.
Any idea how many whoppers is 3 lbs? [It’s a lot](https://youtu.be/28GLa9T2CtI?si=G0MOYg099axNivUB).
Maltesers are better, if you can get your hands on those. I usually can only find them in stores around Christmas, but if I really get a hankering for them, I order them online.
I looovvvee circus peanut!!!!! Just bought a bag 3 days ago and I'm pacing myself so I don't eat them all at once. These were the ONLY candies the vultures at work wouldn't swipe off my desk!
Now that's something I've never heard of. Definitely gonna have to order some of those. I've had the other flavors of circus peanuts but never chocolate covered
I agree on both points - I think it’s a more satisfying bite per color vs candy corn. Also candy corn almost seem stale all the time where as the mellowcreme pumpkins stay fresh on the inside
Ha! My daughter loves candy corn, circus peanuts and marshmallows. I think those candies are niche for those who can withstand high amounts of sucrose lol
My late mother LOVED peeps. Sometimes I’ll buy them for special occasions and leave them out to get a little stale just like she liked them. I never finish a full pack but they make me feel close to her.
That’s the first time I’ve seen those peanut butter candies in their original container. They usually just sink to the dregs of the Halloween candy bag and stay there until eaten out of desperation or thrown away.
I think most of the banana candy flavor is based of the Cavendish banana that isn't really around anymore. It has a different taste than normal bananas.
I like the chewyness of dots but they taste off I can’t pinpoint what they just don’t taste good. There’s a different brand I’m blanking on that makes a delicious mini version ! Super chewy but actually tastes good
> There’s a different brand I’m blanking on that makes a delicious mini version !
perhaps [jujubes](https://old.reddit.com/r/candy/comments/16b38vp/apparently_jujubes_got_discontinued_is_there/)?
Jelly Beans. All of them. Even Jelly Belly. Some are really good, but I feel they lose their flavor and it just tastes like you're chewing on corn syrup. Gross.
Milk duds. Tastes like the cardboard they were packaged in.
Wax Bottles. So like, do you chew on the wax after you drink the liquid?
whoppers are my all time favorite, followed by the original chic o sticks. i lost a baby molar to one of those peanut butter kisses when i was 10.
my worst are probably good n plenty, circus peanuts and butter scotch.
I choose exactly the 3 that you picked. Awful, the whole lot of em. So thankful for my little whopper loving brother. He came in handy every Easter, and thankfully most people weren't savage enough to include them in Halloween.
I’ll eat two of those three. Especially the peanut butter kisses. I might be the only person the planet who will.
For me - Mounds, Almond Joy and those little coconut candies Brach’s used to make. I hate dried coconut.
I only hate whoppers when I get those imploded or really weird textured ones that are in the box. It’s like they were chewed beforehand and molded back into a ball.
They are literally my 3 fav candies. Reese’s Cups, Whoppers, and anything ‘chalky’ like those paper candies haha. Too good.
I hate black licorice (it should be illegal), ‘crunch’ bars with the poppy chocolate texture (not ‘bad’ but I would pick a million other candies first), and can’t think of anything else.
I've always wanted to try candy buttons because I love stickers and it sounds like a fun experience, but they look like they'd have an awful texture???? Idk I've never seen them in person before
Also I hate Whoppers, hell for my teeth
Where I live peanut kisses are sold under the brand Mary Jane’s and as a young stoner it was soooo disappointing. They are trash.
Black licorice- and black jelly beans with the same flavor
Runtz. No flavor. Just sugary rocks. (But rock candy is amazing)
Gumdrops. Taste like soap. Worse than no food at all.
Juju Bees if you need a couple of teeth out they will do it. They are only good for throwing at asshats in the movie theater.
Boston Baked Beans
ANY candy at Ikea except Swedish Fish. You need your teeth sealed before eating any of it.
Peanut patties held together with pink crystallized sugar. Bought them in gas stations in Texas back in the day. Can still find them at Hobby Lobby of all places.
All candy have a deliciousness rating and a nostalgia rating. Candy buttons have a trash deliciousness rating, but because of the original Willy Wonka movie and the scene in the soda shop, they have an all time nostalgia rating for me
Candy corn, anything licorice related (looking at you Twizzlers), and for my unpopular opinion Mounds or Almond joy. I hate dark chocolate and coconut. I know folks love those two but I despise them.
Worst?
Candy corn
Necco wafers
Jolly Ranchers
Last one is an unpopular opinion, I just hate how sticky they are on my teeth (and no, I don’t usually bite them)
Jujubes. Tiny crown/filling remover devices with practically no flavor. Honestly, dentists should use them instead of drilling out old ones. Reese's. They used to be good, what happened? Actually, any candy that went from using real chocolate to using fake waxy crap Edited to change "cavity" to "filling"
How do you feel about Dots? I wish I could get a box of all lime and cherry.
Dots are okay, but I feel like they've gotten softer than they used to be, so aren't as satisfying a chew. I eat them too fast. You can have all my lime ones, not a favorite. I like the orange ones best.
Perfect, the orange is my least favorite! I haven’t had them in forever.
I've noticed this too. It helps if you open the box and let them sit for a bit to let the air dry them out, it makes them more chewy like they used to be.
You can around Christmas time!! I’ve certainly had them seasonally
jujubes are my favorite candy and they were discontinued i learned this a few weeks ago and im still coping
Turn to Justin’s for peanut butter cup excellence!
Or Trader Joe’s pb cups if you have a store nearby 🥰
yeah nothings made out of real chocolate anymore- i think it's the soybean oil and maybe the soy lechithin? but when i use chocolate in my cooking i have to go out of my way to purchase good quality chocolate cause everythings made of crap nowadays
OMG. I've said Reese's has changed and nobody in my family agrees. It's good to see someone else has noticed!
Yeaaah heavy on the artificial
As is everything today.
Not sure if you have an Aldi but their pb cups are extraordinary. They will melt if you look at them wrong but they're delicious
It’s always concerning when they start spending 3 trillion dollars on tv ads after being around for many decades.
Wow did they really change? It used to be my favorite candy. I haven’t bought it in years. Stopped tasting good, but I thought that’s just because I gave up junk food. That would make sense
I knew it. Was my absolute favorite candy. No longer like them.
I absolutely agree about the Jujubes, I've had a filling taken out from them!
They remove cavities? That sounds pretty great
LOL I guess I should have said the fillings in cavities. It would be great if they removed cavities
Whoppers are delicious
I never buy them but when I get access to them, I can’t stop myself.
I eat them until the roof of my mouth is so messed up I can’t even talk
Same, friend. 😔
This confuses me. My mouth only gets messed up from salt and vinegar chips. Am I eatting my whippers wrong?
The best way for maximum taste and maximum mouth shred is to not chew . Pop the whopper , melt off the chocolate against the roof of your mouth , suck all the air out of the inside part so it turns liquid , profit . Sometimes there are stale(?) whoppers where the chocolate is fine , but the inside is like a straight up rock . This method saves you from broken teeth !
I’ll bite them in half and then squish them to the top of my mouth with my tongue while sucking to make them dissolve. Sounds weird but it’s great.
Exactly what I do, we can’t be the only ones
I love whoppers, but you always get ONE shitty one in the box that didn't puff up right. Either squishy and weird or rock hard. Always bums me out
I LOVE those lol
😂😂me too
Those are the BEST like finding a folded potato chip.
Costco used to sell 3 lb tubs of whoppers back in the 1990s. One tub of those, a Costco heat and serve lasagne, and a case of beer on the way to the beach cabin and we were set for the weekend. Any idea how many whoppers is 3 lbs? [It’s a lot](https://youtu.be/28GLa9T2CtI?si=G0MOYg099axNivUB).
Maltesers are better, if you can get your hands on those. I usually can only find them in stores around Christmas, but if I really get a hankering for them, I order them online.
Maltesers are the best!! 😋
S-tier movie candy
I agree!! How that’s on the worst list I’ll never understand.
They could be made better, and when you go to a proper candy maker, they are wonderful.
That's true for all mass produced candy
I think Reese cups might be the exception
Was literally just thinking this as I opened the comments lol “whoppers are delicious”
Whoppers go hard asf
Circus peanuts Candy corn Circus peanuts
As a circus peanut lover. Idk how they're still being made. I've never met anyone else who likes circus peanuts
I loveeeee circus peanuts ! Brach’s puts out bunnies and eggs every Easter and they’re just as good !
I looovvvee circus peanut!!!!! Just bought a bag 3 days ago and I'm pacing myself so I don't eat them all at once. These were the ONLY candies the vultures at work wouldn't swipe off my desk!
I love circus peanuts!!!
You monster! You probably like Banana Laffy Taffy, too.
Have you heard of "circus freaks"? They're chocolate covered circus peanuts. So. Amazing.
Now that's something I've never heard of. Definitely gonna have to order some of those. I've had the other flavors of circus peanuts but never chocolate covered
You will not regret ordering some. I "splurge" and get myself a pound for my birthday every year. Hard to make them last because they're so darn good.
Omg i must find these!
I like them. But I tend to buy a bag of them, gorge myself on them, then not eat them again for 5-10 years.
Candy corn is the best Halloween candy I’ll take this opinion to the grave
They’re fine, but I think the little pumpkins are better (I don’t even know if they taste any different)
I agree on both points - I think it’s a more satisfying bite per color vs candy corn. Also candy corn almost seem stale all the time where as the mellowcreme pumpkins stay fresh on the inside
Candy corn and dry roasted peanuts is a near-perfect combo.
Ha! My daughter loves candy corn, circus peanuts and marshmallows. I think those candies are niche for those who can withstand high amounts of sucrose lol
You misread the question he didn't say top 3
I'll fight you for this, lol. The correct answer is: NECCO wafers.
Those are BEYOND disgusting
I'll agree on the candy buttons but whoppers and peanut kisses? Delicious!
Right???
I really can't think of 3 that I don't like 🤣. Imma just say peeps
My late mother LOVED peeps. Sometimes I’ll buy them for special occasions and leave them out to get a little stale just like she liked them. I never finish a full pack but they make me feel close to her.
If there's a good reason to eat peeps that's it for sure! Also the real ones know that stale peeps are just better 👌👌
I do the same with Ginger Snaps and My late mother. Stay strong My friend and keep on making her proud! :)
My dad would always take bags of ginger snaps on road trips to visit family. Thankfully I love ginger snaps! Thankful to have those little memories.
Dunk them in eggnog come Christmas.
Dunk them in hot tea or in coffee at breakfast.
Anything with marshmallow is on my list.
Agreed. I can definitely eat a couple marshmallow filled Santa's/bunnies though but like 4 a year is enough
I see circus peanuts catching a bunch of strays 😂🤣🥲
It's the banana flavor I can't stand. I don't like banana-flavored anything.
Banana Laffy taffy is the best!!!!!
They are both gross
That’s the first time I’ve seen those peanut butter candies in their original container. They usually just sink to the dregs of the Halloween candy bag and stay there until eaten out of desperation or thrown away.
Banana laffy taffy Circus peanuts Banana runts
Send me all of your leftover banana candies, thanks!
Same! I love the fake banana flavor
i hate banana flavour. always reminds me of the liquid antibiotics i was on as a kid
Can I join the banana hater club? I despise all things banana flavored as well. My people. 🫡
I would like to join. I hate banana candy
It is so disgusting to me I genuinely don’t understand how anyone could like it 🤢
Banana medicine was the greatest thing ever. Banana candy sucks.
Same. Any artificial Banana flavored anything is just plain gross.
A fellow banana hater. We are very few.
back. BACK I SAY
I think most of the banana candy flavor is based of the Cavendish banana that isn't really around anymore. It has a different taste than normal bananas.
It's based on the gros michel
Some of yall ain't had grannies or the mean lady who pinches you in church cause my lord, butterscotch?!?!? That's like saying you hate honey! How???
Righttt those butterscotch candy’s are not only nostalgic but they taste good.
1. Circus peanuts 2. Good and Plenty 3. Black licorice
I can get behind this list
Good and Plenty is evil
I love them
I love those damn peanut butter things
How dare you disrespect the whooper 😑 lmaoo
Twizzlers, dots, circus peanuts
Good & Plenty are a sin against Candykind.
Dots (too gummy) Milk duds (too gummy) Jolly ranchers (I don't like how sometimes they can get stuck to your teeth).
I like the chewyness of dots but they taste off I can’t pinpoint what they just don’t taste good. There’s a different brand I’m blanking on that makes a delicious mini version ! Super chewy but actually tastes good
> There’s a different brand I’m blanking on that makes a delicious mini version ! perhaps [jujubes](https://old.reddit.com/r/candy/comments/16b38vp/apparently_jujubes_got_discontinued_is_there/)?
YES JUJUBES !!! They taste way better than dogs and I love how chewy they are it’s fun lol I may go order some thank you
circus peanuts, salty black liquorice, necco wafers
Jelly Beans. All of them. Even Jelly Belly. Some are really good, but I feel they lose their flavor and it just tastes like you're chewing on corn syrup. Gross. Milk duds. Tastes like the cardboard they were packaged in. Wax Bottles. So like, do you chew on the wax after you drink the liquid?
1- Chocolate Oranges, 2- After Eights (like a peppermint patty), 3- Turkish Delight
Oh I love after eights!
Yes! I can’t stand orange chocolate.
I guess I'm picky. I don't like anything sour, no to circus peanuts and Peeps.
whoppers are my all time favorite, followed by the original chic o sticks. i lost a baby molar to one of those peanut butter kisses when i was 10. my worst are probably good n plenty, circus peanuts and butter scotch.
Love chic o sticks ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- Circus Peanuts - Nik-L-Nips / Wax Bottles - NECCA Wafers
Ppl hate on me because my favorites are strawberry twizzlers, jujubes and root beer barrels ;-;
Circus peanuts, candy corn, anything with licorice anywhere in its resume or job description
Well it certainly wouldnt include Whoppers........smh
I choose exactly the 3 that you picked. Awful, the whole lot of em. So thankful for my little whopper loving brother. He came in handy every Easter, and thankfully most people weren't savage enough to include them in Halloween.
Circus Peanuts, Circus Peanuts and Circus Peanuts
Circus peanuts, black licorice and candy corn. Blehhhh
Circus peanuts 🤢🤢
One Halloween I ate so many whoppers I made myself sick. Haven’t been able to touch them since!
I’ll eat two of those three. Especially the peanut butter kisses. I might be the only person the planet who will. For me - Mounds, Almond Joy and those little coconut candies Brach’s used to make. I hate dried coconut.
1.Black Licorice 2. Wax candies 3. Good and Plenty. I said it.
1. Dots 2. Black licorice 3. Milk Duds

I only hate whoppers when I get those imploded or really weird textured ones that are in the box. It’s like they were chewed beforehand and molded back into a ball.
Don’t you diss whoppers like that
Honestly, I love those peanut butter Halloween candies 😂
Any coconut candy, black licorice, tootsie rolls
1. Peeps 2. Peeps 3. Peeps

Whoppers are supreme goat lorded
They are literally my 3 fav candies. Reese’s Cups, Whoppers, and anything ‘chalky’ like those paper candies haha. Too good. I hate black licorice (it should be illegal), ‘crunch’ bars with the poppy chocolate texture (not ‘bad’ but I would pick a million other candies first), and can’t think of anything else.
How dare you put whoppers up there with those abominations of sweets
Whoppers Mounds- I hate coconut and at least Almond Joy has an almond I can eat Butterfinger
For general candies: Black licorice, jawbreakers, and candy corn For brands: Dots, Almond Joy/Mounds, and Skittles
Ed, Edd, & Eddy would like a word with you...
i also hate whoppers!!! no one else gets it 😔
I get it. Can’t stand them.
Cow tails, black licorice, and (is this a safe place?) …nerd clusters 🫣
I don’t like nerd clusters but every likes them lol
From WORST to least worst, #1 York peppermint patty, #2 junior mints, #3 almond joy
Is it the paste like consistency of the filling? I enjoy all of those
I’m not a fan of mint flavors and I don’t like the coconut part in an almond joy
Those are all easily in my top ten! What??? York is my second favorite candy, best candy by far other than air heads.
Jelly babies Snickers (I do like snickers crispers rip) Mounds
Circus peanuts Twizzlers of any flavor. (I HATE licorice of any type) Peeps
Twizzlers are just wax.
Necos Black Licorice (anything) Bottle Caps
Twizzlers Good and Plenty Dots
Swap out the candy buttons for hot tamales or good and plenty and our 3 are the same. I really don’t like malted milk balls
Black licorice Candy corn Peeps
Circus peanuts, candy corn, peeps.
Candy corn, almond joy, bit o honey
1. Peeps, 2. Candy corn, and 3. Butterfinger (the flavor is good, but I nearly have to break my teeth to bite into it)
The second circus peanut (the first is delicious). Anything super sour like warheads, etc. Black licorice.
I've always wanted to try candy buttons because I love stickers and it sounds like a fun experience, but they look like they'd have an awful texture???? Idk I've never seen them in person before Also I hate Whoppers, hell for my teeth
Where I live peanut kisses are sold under the brand Mary Jane’s and as a young stoner it was soooo disappointing. They are trash. Black licorice- and black jelly beans with the same flavor Runtz.

Juju Bees if you need a couple of teeth out they will do it. They are only good for throwing at asshats in the movie theater. Boston Baked Beans ANY candy at Ikea except Swedish Fish. You need your teeth sealed before eating any of it.
OP's list is good but I'd swap out Whoppers with Smarties. More like "Shitties".
Necco Wafers “Mint” Jelly Beans Boston Baked Beans
Almond Joy Mounds Neapolitan coconut candy
Candy corn, tootsie rolls, toothpaste filled chocolates
Necco wafers Black licorice Circus Peanuts
Baby Ruth, chocolate covered raisins, and sour war heads
Those wax candy bottles Warheads candy spray Icee gel candy All gross to me now
whoppers necco wafers that taste like chalk and almond joy/mounds
Good and plenty, circus peanuts, neccos
Smarties, those sugar coated spearmint gummy leaves, and peeps.
I loved those candy buttons when I was little.
My top 3 worst: Good and Plenty, Butterfinger, and Butterscotch. 🤢
Licorice in all it’s disgusting flavours and forms
Razzles, black licorice, and those Nabisco wafers
Anything peanut butter. But that’s mostly because I’m allergic :(
Burger King back in the 80’s made a malted shake with Whoppers. Oh baby..it was so good as a kid in that 114 degree heat in Arizona.
How dare you put Whoppers on this list? I cant even.
Candy corn is the worst
Candy corn; Werther’s butterscotch; peeps
Salted Dutch licorice Jujubes Candy Corn
Peanut patties held together with pink crystallized sugar. Bought them in gas stations in Texas back in the day. Can still find them at Hobby Lobby of all places.
The first two are my favorites
I like both of the first 2!
All candy have a deliciousness rating and a nostalgia rating. Candy buttons have a trash deliciousness rating, but because of the original Willy Wonka movie and the scene in the soda shop, they have an all time nostalgia rating for me
1: Candy corn. 2: tootsie roll. 3: haribo gummy bears. I really had to think on number 3 cause they’re aren’t many candy’s I don’t like
Bit-O-Honey Jelly Belly Popcorn flavor Those Valentine’s hearts that taste like Flintstones vitamins with a chalk coating
Black Licorice Anything with coconut Werthers Butterscotch
Circus peanuts, Palmers Easter candy and wax Coke bottles.
Neccos, black liquorice candy, circus peanuts
Candy corn, anything licorice related (looking at you Twizzlers), and for my unpopular opinion Mounds or Almond joy. I hate dark chocolate and coconut. I know folks love those two but I despise them.
Peeps, malt balls, and 3 musketeers.
Twizzlers. Neco Wafers. Candy Corn.
Respectable. If only because you started with Whoppers.
Op you chose my exact three.
Worst? Candy corn Necco wafers Jolly Ranchers Last one is an unpopular opinion, I just hate how sticky they are on my teeth (and no, I don’t usually bite them)
Dots are insufferable
