What is the worst candy you've ever tasted?
-
I always wondered about that but I don’t eat frequently enough to notice when it changed
Eating them infrequently is exactly how I noticed the change especially with the Cadbury eggs. It used to have a creamy center that has been replaced with what tastes like a spoonful of gritty Betty Crocker sugar frosting. Reese's are less obvious but also just taste like sugar (or HFCS) to me now and they were my absolute favorite as a kid as someone who's not really into candy.

Black licorice is just horrific. I try it every once in a while as I age thinking "Old people like this, maybe I'm old enough to like it myself, now", but no. It's still an instant headache/nausea combo at one taste. Ugh.
Only if you feel like punishing yourself for your own science.
Twizzlers black licorice vs panda brand licorice is worth trying just to compare the world of differences that black licorice can have.
Then if you really really hate yourself you can find some other salt licorice. Crazy stuff that is as much more of an acquired taste than the worst cheap black licorice like Twizzlers

Turkish delights tend to be terrible. Insanely chewy and sticky, floral and just unpleasant. I also tried some sweet "goat cheese and spice lollipop" candy from mexico i didn't care for much.
Black licorice fucks though. I'll stand with the swedes on this one.

That being said the Big Turk chocolate bar is such a bad shitty Turkish Delight it's almost edible

Cella's milk chocolate covered cherries. My grams was addicted to them, so I'd bring a box when I visited. I couldn't even stand the way they smelled though lol
That reminds me of brandy beans. So gross

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

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.

Rose water is meh, but the worst part of turkish delights is the gelatin style chew. I also have a mild walnut allergy which makes them taste "scratchy" to me, so i doubt that helped when I tried it.

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

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.
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

Was it like eating cold hot dog meat? These sound like fish/beef balls used in soup like pho though they're a Vietnamese thing.
The mention of "cold" makes me think you're thinking they were prepared food of some sort or at least "wet". These were shelf-stable, individually-wrapped "candies" (I think the note on the gift box even referred to them as "candies") that came in a larger, plastic bag with art and text printed on it. Like you might think of bags of, say, these. Except they were a dried meat product, not losenges or caramels or whatever. And they weren't "sweet" the way you think of candy. They tasted like you might imagine something dipped in perfume (and then dried) might taste. One more detail: I remember them being drier than any jerkey I'd ever eaten. They simply didn't have enough moisture in them to have any heat conductivity to speak of. (Asking if they were cold is like asking if room-temperature Rice Crispies dry and straight from the box are "cold".)

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

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

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

I guess I meant "cold" in the sense of "uncooked" hot dogs that have a very distinct texture, but it doesn't sound like these are the same as what I'm thinking of either way.

Some American candy, mostly bad chocolate

It's like it was designed to piss you off specifically

Swede here, that Norwegian shit is weak. This is what we like.
Bought a bunch of those when I had a short visit to Karlstad recently. I'm a Norwegian, and I'll be the first to admit that the Norwegian kind is way too weak.

I tried American chocolate once. It tasted like vomit aftertaste.
Never again.

Take a bag of those pebers and dump them in a bottle of vodka. Let them dissolve overnight. Bring to a party and you will be instant friend of any scandinavian.
I did this with my friends when we went to Thailand. We were enjoying the delicious taste on a beach, two Australian guys were wanted to try it. They both spat it out instantly and the other one got so mad we thought he's actually going to attack us.
After he calmed down a bit he demanded to see us drink it to be sure we hadn't tricked him to drink poison. So we downed the entire 1 litre bottle to appease him. It was the start of a great day that lasted for few days.
