There is this brittle thing of foam everyone likes to make into weird shapes like little birds... I don't know what it is called and I don't want too

Swede here.

Some American candy, mostly bad chocolate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I tried American chocolate once. It tasted like vomit aftertaste.

Never again.

Hands down absolutely nothing worse than peeps. They somehow manage to make twizzlers taste like ultra gourmet candy.

The cheap no name "chocolates" that taste like eating oil solids disguised as chocolate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

The red gum that's just pure cinnamon or something. Plus it's spicy. Ew. Just ew

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Probably these little lychee candy things I had years ago. No fruit flavor at all. Tasted as though someone mixed powdered blackboard chalk and sugar.

Chocolate brandy beans.

They always seem to be made with cheapest shittiest chocolate as well but that brandy liqueurs inside is revolting enough on its own thread the chocolate is usually completely forgettable

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

The Harry Potter bean things which has awful flavors mixed in, like puke etc.

I tried Hershey's (American chocolate) before and it tasted absolutely disgusting. it will never ever come remotely close to Dairy Milk or Galaxy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

I haven't actually tried this but my friend did.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Twizzlers.

I tried them in the US and it just felt like I was chewing on a piece of plastic.

On the other hand, unlike most of the people in the comments, I love licorice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Twizzlers feel like some shitty capitalist found a way to turn some industrial waste byproduct edible enough to feed to kids

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, what's up with twizzlers? They look okay, I've read that they should taste really nice and.. well, it's chewable plastic with zero taste

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Delicious, delicious carnauba wax...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Maryjanes? (Very old yucky candy, not cannabis related)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The disgusting Harry Potter every flavour beans. They had jelly belly jelly beans that tasted like dirt, grass, booger, vomit, ear wax, and others I can't remember.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

I've only tried one, blind, it was worms. Never again. That was over twenty years ago and I still gag just thinking about it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Licorice. Anise flavored candy. It's disgusting.
