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.

What was your worst Halloween candy as a child?

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
