8 Treats You Won’t Eat

Worst candies to be given while trick or treating.

We’ve all been Trick-Or-Treating at some point in our lives and gotten that candy. You know it. The off-brand and gross one. You can tell just by the packaging that it won’t taste good, but a smiling old lady gave it to you so you accept it with a smile and later try to trick a sibling or friend into trading it with you for something better. Check out this list of the worst of the worst Halloween treats.

Dum Dums
Although not too bad, they always end up being some of the last candies left. After all, why have a sucker when you could have a mini Twix instead?

Candy Corn
Nobody really likes candy corn. Not even the people who say they like it. The pure sugar which is packed into the three-colored cone simply doesn’t taste good when you eat more than two pieces in a night.

Swedish Fish
Why do these even exist? The little flavor they have serves only to offend the taste buds. If you get any of these while Trick-Or-Treating, you should just throw them out.

Black Licorice
Want to try candy on whole new level of bad? Eat some black licorice. Seriously, if anybody gives you black licorice, they either dislike you, or they feel like rebelling against the idea of giving out good, free candy to kids simply because they dressed up.

Mystery Candy
Pretty much the only thing known about this one would be that you don’t want it. The opaquely colored wrapper makes it recognizable to anyone, even though it doesn’t have a label. Most likely the decision not to label it was made because the company was tired of getting so many complaints about the quality of their product.

Goodie Bags
Likely given out by a middle-aged mother trying to be “cool,” they often feature homemade treats that your parents have you throw out as soon as you get back to your house.

Tootsie Rolls
Sadly, these are often given out like there’s no tomorrow, likely because the people who buy them hope they don’t have any left the next day. On the bright side, though, some people actually like them, which makes them easy to trade away for worthwhile candy.

School Supplies
A pencil or two, maybe even a halloween-themed notepad if you get lucky. They might be held on to and used if the need arises, but you definitely weren’t hoping for it.
