Assuming we are leaving out the old people candy, Twizzlers. I have no clue why people like them they don't taste like anything and you feel like you just ate a candle with all the wax in your mouth. I want to like them, they look good but no.

I have no problems with most of the stuff that has been mentioned.

I will agree twizzlers are the worst! Red Vines are just so far superior.
Also agree with candy corn. Every time I see a bowl I will take one and eat it and instantly regret it. As I get older I keep thinking my tastes will change and at some point I will like them. But nope never do.

Also want to add Cadbury Cream Eggs.

You know. Candy is really bad for you. Right?

I love licorice, especially nordic salty licorice. That's a man's candy.

I'm wondering if liking licorice is genetic. I have NEVER enjoyed black licorice IIRC. But, IIRC, my mother expressed a love for it. That gene must have been suppressed in me?

I'm not fond of Twin Bings, peeps, black licorice...but that's about it.

I do not like dry sandy type cookies either.
