The Worst Halloween Candies to Get Trick-Or-Treating
When you're a kid, nothing is worse than getting a disappointing treat in your trick-or-treating bag.
Halloween was a huge deal to me as a kid, and it's still a big deal to me now. As a grown-up, Halloween is more about costumes and decorations, but when I was a kid I was only concerned with one thing: CANDY. What's better than a pillowcase full of candy when you're 9-years-old? The answer is NOTHING. We had planned out routes every year, and we always knew who gave out the king-sized candy bars and the bags of chips. There was even a house that handed out cans of soda! It was a child's dream come true.
But then there were the OTHER houses. You know, the ones who gave out handfuls of change or granola bars or *GASP* gross candy. Mashable came up with a list of the worst candies to hand out on Halloween. I'm not going to say I agree with all of them, but it's still a pretty solid list. Let's see how many you agree with:
- Necco Wafers
- Smarties
- Candy Buttons
- Candy Corn
- Mellowcreme Pumpkins
- Dum Dums
- Tootsie Rolls
- Hot Tamales
- Banana Laffy Taffy
- Twizzlers
