What craziness is this? Fresh Twizzlers are heaven.

 

[Bloodrage]

Twizzlers taste like some shit somebody chewed on for long periods of time.

 

[gblues]

I'm one of those strange people who willingly accepts the black licorice that others do not want. You won't eat that shit? Give it here, I'll devour the fuck out of it, love black licorice.

Same here, with one exception:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_coins

I thought I loved the shit out of all things black licorice, but holy shit are these disgusting. I've tried a few other regional candies that have salt, but the pirate coins cross the line into brine territory and my poor US palate just can't take it.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Popeye candy cigarettes were the worst. I don't know you fuck up a stick of sugar and food coloring, but they did.

 

[Lo_Fi]

Which ones are you talking about though? There's the pull-apart ones and there's the redvine ripoffs.

 

[kingwingin]

Twizzlers are amazing. Nibs are god tier.

Try freezing the twizzlers first, that's how I eat them.

 

[Oddduck]

Twizzlers are awful.

 

[Blues1990]

I also love the soft variant. It's so good.

Also candy corn is delicious.

Love black licorice, LOVE IT and get lots of weird comments about it whenever I eat any.

 

[SSReborn]

Ugh this thread is making my stomach turn. All those pictures are bringing back awful memories.

 

[terrisus]

A member of family brought back some random American candy from a trip there. There was something called "Airheads" that was just vile, the "grape" flavored ones should have been called "chemical plant."

Yeah, they're not as good as Laffy Taffy, but they're still good.

And, speaking of...

Nope.

Yeah, banana is the worst flavor, but it's still alright.

It's not like it's gnome scat or something.

OP is... Half wrong

This is the correct answer

Alright, yeah, I did try this once or twice, and it was disgusting.

 

[Zombine]

These are fucking heaven.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Twizzlers and redvines are equally great in their own ways

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

I don't know what you're saying OP, Twizzlers are a classic candy choice...

Red Vines are Twizzlers for people who keep soda in the garage and not in a refrigerator.

HAHA This is the truth...

They made an even saltier version of those We love our salty licorice in northern Europe

 

[Terrell]

Yes, it actually proudly advertises that it tastes like soap.

Any answer that isn't Thrills gum is therefore inherently wrong.

Stock response #3245:

Fill your mouth with the great taste of perfume.

 

[Princess Viola]

Nope.

ill fight you

 

[Bjomesphat]

3 day old Twizzlers are where it's at. Whenever I get a bag I make sure to open it first then let it sit for a few days.

 

[Jarrod38]

One of the best candies ever.

 

[Slavik81]

Twizzlers are fine. Filled Twizzlers, however, are completely disgusting. I bought a pack the other day and they were so bad that I almost made a thread about them.

They taste okay to me, but some chemical in them gives me gives soresore throat every time.

 

[rottingcore]

I don't like the default "strawberry" twizzlers. Cherry pull aparts are my jam though, so fuck off OP.

 

[KittenMaster]

Off-brand versions of Twizzers are the best, because they're often flavors like green apple or blueberry and have a strong juicy taste.

 

[Syphon Filter]

i see candy corn haters didnt waste no time. twizzlers are far worse.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Hello:

Yeah, this is definitely worse

 

[SimpleGamer]

I never knew some people referred to Candy Corn as Twizzlers.

Who the fuck even thought of this shit? A candy version of corn ughh

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Every time I see a European talk shit about Hersheys bars, I want to stick a s'more so far up his butt he can taste it, and enjoy it

 

[Floridian]

I can only somewhat tolerate Twizzlers like once a year, preferably Halloween, but they aren't the worst. That position goes to Candy Corn.

 

[nasax]

These are pretty bad too. Dat diarrhea quality chocolate.

 

[studyguy]

Twizzlers=hot garbage

 

[scamander]

It's not just Hershey's, it's literally every big chocolate brand in the US. I couldn't even eat these, because of the nasty chocolate outside:

Also, salty or chilli liquorice is awesome!

 

[-MD-]

Sweet on the outside, poison on the inside.

Also this is my vote for the worst candy on earth:

You guys are fucking insane.

 

[Freshmaker]

Seriously, that stuff is NASTY! The texture is terrible, and it tastes like processed ooze.

Someone's never had a Tootsie Roll...

 

[GhostWriter24]

Worst.

 

[Mango The Magician]

Twizzlers can be used as a straw to drink chocolate milk, I have the experience to prove this, thus you are wrong.

Now the worst candy has got to be

 

[Kallor]

Twizzlers aren't bad if you can manage to find a fresh bag. Unfortunately the only store in my area out of maybe 10 that I've tried that has fresh bags with any regularity is Target.

Got-tier garbage food.

[scamander]

Tthese are delicious, I will hunt you down!

Like many Haribo products, they are too sweet for my taste, without providing any real flavour. The products of Katjes and Red Band are WAY better, I don't know if you can get them outside of Europe, though.

That being said, these berries are still far from being the worst candy.

 

[Necromanti]

I get a surprising amount of hate for my favorite candy. What do you guys think of this?

They taste like really stale Maltesers. Not a fan.

This guy knows what's up.

oh hell yeah

this is my jam right here

 

[Oblivion]

Licorace says "hola".

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Looks innocent enough but that "chocolate" just aint right

But it is gluten free!

Peeps, candy corn, American Smarties, and circus peanuts deserve to rot in hell.

 

[glaurung]

Bunch of spoiled first world kids in this thread.

When I was growing up in the fucking soviet fucking union, sugar was a rarity. So was cocoa and chocolate. My mother once baked a cake with acorn flour. Unfortunately it turned green so she had to throw it out.

We had this instead of chocolate: http://www.kalev.ee/en/prod/sweets-and-biscuits/Chocolates/kama-bar/kama-bar-100g

Most of the stuff in this thread is probably ambrosia compared to some of the crap we had growing up.

Is there a difference between Smarties in the US and Europe?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

way late to the party: but twizzlers (classic red strawberry) have been the bomb-dot-com since I I had my first one in the 80's
