We just got done debating (for about 2 hours) about what the worst, shittiest candy ever created is.Our top (bottom?) 3 are:
1) Candy Corn
2) Those little wax Coca-Cola bottles with the liquid inside
3) Those nasty orange marshmellow-like circus peanuts
I say, without a doubt hands down, #3 is the winner.
Score: 12

candy corn is just wax, food coloring and sugar. It's on the list for sure.

These bastards deserve an honorable mention also:
Oh and just to clarify. Candy Corns are nasty as hell. So are Peeps. How anyone on Earth could possibly like those things is way beyond me.

If you like (hate) black licorice, you should (should not) try the Dutch / Swedish kind, salmiak (found in other countries around there too I guess).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salty_liquorice
This stuff takes black licorice up a notch. Love it or hate it. The key ingredient is ammonium. Doesn't that sound appetizing? I read somewhere else that ammonium is found in some kinds of octopus as a deterrent to predators.

Now this thread is hilarious. I definitely laughed out loud while reading it. Sad this is I like almost all of the one listed so far. I seriously like candy buttons and the wax soda filled things.
These are among the worst though. Nobody likes these. These two were among the impossible candy to trade at Halloween. Like I remembers not being able to give Good and Plenty boxes away. Just awful. If you gave out this shit on Halloween the kids in the neighborhood talked about you like you were a criminal. Thanks for the memories.
