WORD on the Circus Peanuts! There's other candy I don't like -- many that are named in this thread -- but they don't gross me out. I can't even stand to be in the room when someone else is eating Circus Peanuts.

My give aways would always include
Candy Corn- my kids love them
Mary Janes
Neapolitan Coconut Sundays
Twizzlers- I'll eat them but like red vines so much better

Agree on the Circus Peanuts, but if you're talking about the good (as in Russell Stouffer or another "name brand) chocolate cover marshmallow eggs, I love those! Love Neccos, too, when I'm in the mood - or happen to see them. They're almost never around.

No, these aren't chocolate anything. They're either purple, orange or another color. The marshmallow is kind of hard. They're a bulk candy type item.

Eeeewwww! I remember that!
I swear, maybe it's my age, but every year the "waxy/plasticy" type "candies" such as these look more and more like something you just don't want to ingest. It's like the Dollar General plasticy version with some sugar thrown in.

I HATE Circus Peanuts, anything Gummy or Fruit-flavored chewiness (except for a few flavors of Jelly Bellies!), dark chocolate, anything with Peanuts/Peanut butter, black licorice, Mary Jane/Bit O' Honey/Sugar Daddies (any of those old lady candies that kill your teeth).
I LOVE Milky Way (#1), 100 Grand, Twix, Milk Duds (my teeth don't like them, though!), Caramel Bullies (can't find the original anymore). I do like Candy Corn and Smarties, but I have to be in the mood for them.

I like Neccos and it's probably more nostalgic than for any other reason. My uncle used to buy them for me when I was little. We would walk down to a little store for them.

A handful of popcorn is kind of weird. But I also lived between the family of dentists who would give us toothbrushes, and the assumed-to-be drug dealers who would take Polaroid pictures of us with a Halloween border for us to take home.

You've actually SEEN someone eating Circus Peanuts?! I'm not sure I've ever witnessed such a thing.
I actually just looked up Necco Wafers, and I don't think they're nearly as awful as some of the other kinds of candy mentioned here. I would GLADLY eat those over Candy Corn or Circus Peanuts.. or whatever the hell those edible fangs are called...

Geez, and I thought your University of Michigan fandom was grounds for deportation.
Circus Peanuts are the worst. Two chews and you're munching a gooey mess, and you can't get the taste out of your mouth.

One of my college friends had a whole closet stuffed with junk food. He was, of course, one of those super-skinny dudes who can eat a whole large pizza by himself. Plus jumbo bags of Doritos and yes, Circus Peanuts.

Just saw a woman in Walgreens buying those chewy "peanut butter" (quotes intentional) things in the black and orange wrappers AND candy corn. I wanted to shake her and scream, "For the love of Halloween...NO!!!"
My list
Candy Corn
Circus Peanuts (seriously, who thought to invent these?)
Those chewy nasty things I mentioned above
Orange Slices - those fake jelly sugary things

I just googled these, as I had no idea what y'all were talking about. I agree - I don't know why that's "candy"
