Halloween is around the corner, and you'e probably sitting around looking for the perfect costume to wear to Sixth Street or the West Campus party you are going to. But remember when you were a kid and all you could think of was going trick-or-treating? The only downside to trick-or-treating was getting stuck with the rejects, the candy no one wanted. Throwing it back to our childhood, here are the 20 worst candies you got as a kid.
20. Smarties
Although I personally love Smarties, it was kind of annoying having so many of these appear. You could never get rid of them.
19. Almond Joy
Either be an almond, coconut or chocolate, not all three.
18. FireBall
To this day, I don't understand why these exist and why people actually like them.
17. Bottle Caps
Every year, I would give them a chance, and always regretted it.
16. Taffy (that wasn't Laffy Taffy)
If it isn't Laffy Taffy, why would a kid want it?
15. Lemonheads
Like the FireBalls, these shouldn't be given to children.
14. Dum Dums
Like the Smarties, they never seem to end.
13. 3 Musketeers
These have a weird texture to them and were always in my reject pile.
12. Milk Duds
You would either trade a whole bunch of these for decent candy, or give them to your parents.
11. Good & Plenty
Anything with licorice shouldn't be given out.
10. Whoppers
They look like chocolate balls but don't taste like them.
9. Gum (Dubble Bubble)
They lose flavor in a couple of minutes and then they get hard to chew.
8. Raisins
They aren't candy, so why would people give them out?
7. Hard Candy (Old Fashioned)
These were the majority of the reject pile or the last ones you always ate.
6. Swedish Fish
I'd rather get Sour Patch Kids instead.
5. Butterscotch Candy
These also go in the old-fashioned candy category. You would either throw them away or give them to your parents.
4. Bit-o-Honey
They are so chewy, it's not even worth it.
3. Candy from last year
You can just tell when people give you candy from last year or another season.
2. Candy Corn
They're addicting, but getting unwrapped candy is never fun.
1. Tootsie Rolls
You could never avoid these and there were hundreds of them. When did you ever buy any?
Of course, not all candy was bad. You would get the occasional king-sized candy bar, chips, and even money.
