Hey Collective!
So I asked Agent #69 to give me a report of the worst to best Halloween candy and well...
They sure did.
---15: Candy Corn
Everyone saw this coming.
I honestly have no idea how the candy corn industry stays in business. No one likes it. If you like candy corn, you're not a real person, you're a borg drone created by Jelly Belly to try and convince other humans that candy corn tastes like something other than candle wax organically crafted from sadness.
If you sit any average person down and present them with the choice between, like, a chocolate bar and Waxy Corn Syrupy Artificially Colored Hate Kernels, NO ONE IS GOING TO TURN DOWN THE CHOCOLATE BAR.
It's gross, guys. What is it even supposed to taste like? The lovechild of burnt sugar and a plastic
bag? Because if Gross Feet Candy was the goal, wow, the manufacturers sure shot for the stars.
14: Butterscotch Hard Candies
Everyone who grew up around older folks of a certain era just looked at that picture and felt a sudden flash of dread deep in their gut. The nightmare of butterscotch hard candies from Halloweens Past.
To make this clear: no one under the age of 65 likes this stuff, but everyone eats it anyway. If you don't, you're a worse monster than any beast that people make masks out of. Because this is Grandma's candy. This is the candy the nice old folks at the nursing homes give out from their little dish that they own specifically to hold butterscotch hard candies. You know the one. It probably has flowers on it.
I mean... they're edible, I guess. You probably won't suffer any lasting harm if you pop a couple of these at Granddad's place. You could turn them down... but you'll lose a tiny piece of yourself in the process.
