Sounds equally as nasty. I dunno what the marketing manager(s) who decided to try to sell popcorn flavored candies were thinking. Must have been something like "Sweet and sour chicken is good, so lets make them buttery, sweet and salty, like butter-fried Krispy Kremes with anchovies!"

[Zyik]

Best:
1. Reese's peanut better cups. Whenever we have them at the shop its always interesting to see who gets their first and buys them all....
2. White Chocolate. Any and All.
3. Nerds.

Worse:
1. Popcorn flavored anything
2. Cinnamon flavored anything
3. Candy Corn

Oh, now I just have to say yuk.
Just yuk.
Something as wonderful as a butter-fried KK covered with anchovies is so wrong. Makes you want to gargle or drink diet coke or something.

my dad one time brought home some candy from work. I have no idea the name of it, but let me tell you, this stuff was awful.
It was basically crystallized ginger... burned your mouth and throat, and made you want to puke. Yes, it was a candy, and it was imported from Africa (i believe).

I have to say that Americans are deprived of amazing Canadian candy like Cherry Blasters, Aero, Crunchies, Fuzzy Peaches etc. all of which are absolutely delicious.

I'd say that the worst thing ever to come into the name of candy is the really cheap chocolate you get at like a dollar store or something. Its not real chocolate, it actually has no taste. It's just disgusting.
