Bad Candy

I was thinking about candy. I'm going to be in Hershey, Pennsylvania sometime this summer. That might be a great town to live in, but it might be a little much, too. I've been through Hershey. It literally smelled of chocolate - Just standing on the street, away from any building. That was great for the hour I was there, but maybe that would get old after a while.

I really don't eat much candy anymore. When I was a kid I liked Chick-o-Stix. (I don't know if that is how it is spelled.) I tried one again a few years ago. I'm not sure what I saw in it, because it is still good, but I'm a little surprised it was a fave back then. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup - Awesome then and now. What about the Hershey's pure chocolate bar. I surprised they could get away with that. It seems like some kind of copy-write violation or something. Still great, though. I love M&M's although I don't like them telling me what to do before movies start. They're a little uppity. Candy Corn - Tasty and fun to eat, especially for OCD people.

There are bad candies, believe it or not. I'm sure there are others, but these popped into my head:

  • Necco Wafers - Seriously, they taste like dirt in wafer form.
  • Peeps - What makes them be associated with Easter, anyway? Cute, but not tasty.
  • Black licorice - Road tar in vine form.
  • Cotton Candy - Kind of the opposite of the Melts in your mouth, not in your hands M & M campaign. Cotton Candy - Eat it and you will have to shower afterward.
I guess there are people that like them. I don't get it, but more power to you. Keep eating.
