I’m not a huge candy fan, in general. But there are some candies that are too ridiculous for even me to comprehend. Grow up and eat a Reese's like a human with some actual taste.
Here comes the shame.
1. Toblerone
When I think of Toblerone, I think of Joey Tribbiani. If you watched Friends as religiously as I do, you’ll get it. If not, sorry. But really, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who truly likes Toblerone. Isn’t it just one of those candies you buy someone you hate when you forgot to get them a gift for their birthday or Easter or maybe when you get back from a trip? Who actually picks this for their own pleasure?
2. Neccos
What the heck are Neccos? I know they're old and classic or whatever, but times have changed. We have Smarties now. It’s time to dismiss these, “sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, gums, colorings, and flavorings,” flavored crap.
3. Skittles
I can feel the hate already. I have honestly never understood Skittles, unless they are of the sour variety. They taste like if you ate a piece of fruit, regurgitated it, added sugar, and hardened it into a candy. Now is that appetizing? No. Give it up. Skittles are the gross cousin to delicious M&Ms.
4. Pixie Stix
So, one day, someone sitting in an office said, “Hey I bet if we just put sugar in a sealed straw kids will go crazy for it,” and now he’s rich and we’re stupid. Honestly, just take a spoonful of regular sugar, eat it, and save the money.
5. Tootsie Rolls
My brother’s favorite candy used to be Tootsie Rolls, but, now that I think about it, what even is the flavor of these things? Is it chocolate? If so: wow, step it up. Doesn’t taste like chocolate at all. Plus try eating these candies with braces. Might as well just hand your orthodontist a check for $5,000 up front, you’re done for.
