Halloween is fast approaching! And so is Trick or Treating, when children dress up in hopes of rotting their little teethers out with delicious candy. But it isn't all treats. There is some bad Halloween candy out there people. Do you remember some of these?
12. Necco Wafers
Being number 12 on the list does not make these the "best of the worst", but they're one of the most iconic bad candies. They're like chalk wafers. No thank you.
11. Black Licorice Wheels
I'm ok with people liking black licorice. I'm not a fan myself, but to each his own. BUT NOT AS SOMETHING TO GIVE A BUNCH OF KIDS. Two kids will like these. And then no one will like those kids.
10. Wax Vampire Lips
Most candy recipes do not include red and white wax. Also most candies you wear don't taste good (candy necklaces get an honorable mention here).
9. Cinnamon Disks
Also known as "Halloween's Breathmint."
8. Butterscotch Disks
These are in the same family as Cinnamon Disks but are really just the poor man's 'Werther's Original'. And the Werther's Original commercial had a grandfather sharing his candy with his grandson. Kids aren't that into knockoff grandparent candy.
7. Pumpkin Candy Corn
This one is a toss up for some because they like candy corn. I don't mind it, but I'm not a fan of these. Also, they come in big bags at the store so giving these out requires the giver to have to hand them to you usually. Kind of gross.
6. Halloween Peanut Butter Kisses
These make the for their constant appearance at every other house on the trick-or-treating route. Too much of something can be bad. And these guys like to try to pull teeth out when you're chewing.
5. Wine Flavored Kit Kat
Whaa? I've actually never seen this, but I can't imagine kids going nuts for it. Halloween candy should remain under 21. (Via)
4. Box O' Raisins
Sort of like licorice - some people like raisins, and I generally enjoy them in everyday life - BUT NOT ON HALLOWEEN!! POOR FORM! POOR FORM!!!
3. Pennies
The old bait-n-switch. "I'll give you money so you can buy whatever candy you want!" But that really means, "You couldn't pay me to keep these pennies and they aren't worth anything so take them and good luck spending them! Boo!"
2. Circus Peanuts
Oh come on. COME ON. What are these even? These are cartoon nightmare candy, that's what they are. Never eat them, especially not on Halloween.
1. Toothbrushes
The BIGGEST Halloween slap in the face of all time. The antithesis to Halloween. No. NO. Absolutely not.
