I used to love them as a kid, my school would hand out a few as rewards. As an adult though, it's cloyingly sweet to me. I can't eat more than a couple without reaching for something salty to get all the overpowered sweetness out of my mouth.
I tried Circus Peanuts for the first time a year ago and they were SO confusing to me. Both the texture and flavor were completely different than I expected. I didn't like it.. lol
For those of us who remember the schoolyard Halloween candy currency exchange, we coconut lovers made out like BANDITS! I have always loved coconut! The going rate of one Mars bar to 3-5 coconut bars meant I could easily triple my candy haul.
For those who don't know, Bounty Bars aren't available in the US, but are similar to what we have called "Mounds," with the nut version called "Almond Joy" I adore Almond Joys.
My step family are Dutch, and I can confirm that licorice is definitely a European thing. My mom gets my stepdad licorice for Christmas as his candy in the stocking, and my sister and I can never understand how he is able to eat those things without cringing.
In defense of the original twinkie... When Hostess was purchased by Andy and Dean, all of the products have a different recipe. The filling is different in all of the products, not just the twinkie. For instance, the fruit pies don't have fruit in them. I grew up on them and abandoned them after the change. Just not worth the calories anymore 😢
In sure the new filling is toxic in its raw natural form where has mat suits and o2 respirators are required ppe. The filling might melt you like that bad guy in robocop if you got it on you.
Yeah. I got some recently out of desperation because I needed some quick sugar... and that's what I got. Just tasted sugary creme and the cake had no flavor to speak of. I remember when they had that light scent and flavor of banana. Now it's less flavorful than plain angel food cake.
As someone from Puerto Rico, hearing people hate chocolate and coconut is wild. We love dried coconut and coconut shavings over to death, it's a common topping on desserts.
There’s actually a common dessert in Newfoundland called snowballs that’s just marshmallows rolled into a ball and covered with chocolate and coconut. It’s actually pretty popular, especially around the holidays because of its wintery name.
Generic easter chocolate is one of my guilty pleasures Its really hard to match the "unique" taste of bottom of the barrel chocolate like that, but man do I love it, in very limited moderation
Omg thank you!! Me and my mom also have one or two bags each year, like when theyre still in stores months after easter and are 50% off. The experience of unwrapping them and trying to bite only one half off makes them almost taste better than actual good chocolate
Reminds of how much I actually enjoy Sixlets, which are cheap chocolate (I think they don't have any actual chocolate in them, just the flavor). They are oddly addicting.
As someone with a nut allergy, I'm actually a fan of British smarties and generic Easter eggs. They might not be the best tasting chocolates out there, but there's a lot to be said for not needing to worry about whether or not a dessert is going to kill me.
I don't have a nut allergy but as a child I preferred Smarties to M&Ms. As an adult, I prefer the M&Ms but I still like Smarties and I will eat them if they're on offer. I think the colourful branding of Smarties probably appeals more to children so maybe that's why.
There is a better option pick up generic organic or cooking chocolate and make your own chocolate eggs using a mould. Of course double check about if they are near nuts but as it’s such a serious allergy there has to be some never near nuts.
I can't believe I grew up thinking a lot of people liked American Smarties. I actually really enjoy the taste and I still take them from friends to eat lol it's definitely an acquired taste with the chalk texture.
I like both American and Canadian Smarties (I like the chocolate better in Canadian Smarties than M&Ms). I like that they are little pieces that you can eat rather than a bar . And there is something about American Smarties (known as Rockets in Canada) that are really addictive
The problem with American Smarties, is that they are mostly just compressed tablets of dextrose sugar, and little else. Whereas the British, and Canadian Smarties are chocolate buttons with a candy coating. I personally will take a bulk bag of them to snack on whenever I can, over one of M&M's almost any day, as the M&M's are just too sweet for my palette at least. But this is just a personal opinion of mine and should in no way be construed as a generalized statement about British/Canadian Smarties vs. American Smarties.
i honestly had no idea there were a different kind of smarties, tbh i like american smarties, they aren't something i'd seek out but honestly i think they're pretty tasty, but also i ate chalk as a kid so it might just be a result of that lmao
I've always been a mint-chocolate junkie, so I legitimately liked the mint M&Ms; was sad to see them vanish. As for black licorice, I can't stand the stuff. I'll always remember Codename: Kids Next Door literally associating black licorice with a curse and portraying even candy pirates as despising the stuff.
As a person from the uk the smarties hate is unbelievable. I bet most kids in the uk would pick smarties over m&m's. m&m's chocolate might just be different here in the uk but it tastes far better as well imo. The colours are all natural which even leads the orange one to have an orange fruit flavour to it. I do understand though that they are more ment for kids which is why they might be less sweet and have more 'healthy' attributes to them...
I'm American and while we do have smarties there the crappy chalk like candy and not M&Ms brother in law. As far as I know, you can't get *_real_* smarties in the states, or at least I can't find them here in Michigan.
i have always loved smarties and didnt like the nutty m and ms. especially now that i know m and ms are not vegetarian. smarties are so so cool and i used to always love it as a kid. it is like skittles but with chocolate. i didn't know that american smarties are chalky wth
As someone who has a peanut allergy and avoids M&Ms due to cross contamination concerns, British Smarties are rather special to me cause they were about as close as I got lol
@@phantomstriderIf I would fix the mint m&Ms I would actually put mint leaves in there grounded up. That's how it should have been Eminem's with mint leaves grounded up in there
One candy I hate and don’t see mentioned enough is the generic strawberry hard candies. I don’t even know what they’re called, who makes them, or where people even get them, but they always seem to show up around Halloween, and every old person will probably have them if they’re the type to have a candy dish/bowl somewhere around the house. The outside is okay, but they have this thick, gel-like center that has such an overly strong taste to it, it honestly reminds me of a cough medicine.
Seeing you juggling those tiny, wonky-shaped, foil-wrapped eggs is even more impressive than your usual juggling! They look so awkward to handle, so kudos to you!
@@phantomstrider chocolate coins are worse. Imagine the worst chocolate you could imagine, shaped into coin shapes and surrounded in bright gold foil, then put in bags and left to sit for (years?) in shops. For worst savory snack, try dry loathsome Combos.
you would hate to meet my dad at a party then, i think they're okay but i wouldn't go out of my way to eat them, whenever someone brought favourites over he'd be the only one eating them
im one of the very rare people who loves bounty chocolate. I just love coconut flavored things, and it never bothered my throat personally. I totally understand why some dont like it, but ill be here in my corner loving them. (theyre not hated where i come from too, i had no idea people didnt like them in other parts of the world until this video) The coconut inside is also never dry, its always very juicy in my country.
Over here in the States, we have Mounds bars instead, and they are a beloved candy bar, so I don't know what Bounty is doing wrong, though I did read they only have the milk chocolate version available now, while Mounds uses a less sweet dark chocolate. Bounty is more like an Almond Joy bar, sans almonds.
“Caramels, they’d get stuck in your braces wouldn’t it? Lollipops, what we called ‘cavities on a stick.’ Then we have all this, all this chocolate.” Dr. Wilbur Wonka
It's really funny that at first I was offended that Smarties was on this list, but then I realized that I loved to eat chalk as a kid, so the entire reason I loved Smarties was because they had the taste and texture of something you shouldn't even be eating XD
Personally, I really like American smarties. I'm not really a fan of very overly sweet things, so the more, I guess, mild taste of smarties is appealing to me. In fact, when my friends and I were staying in a hotel together we got a bunch of smarties, opened them, put them all in a cup, and took "sips" of the cup, which was really just eating a mouthful of smarties
I have a three pound bag of them in my room. Odd thing is I got it before I had my gall bladder removed, and afterwards, I had issues with heartburn, so started buying the store brand of Tums chewables, which taste exactly like Smarties candy, much to my delight.
My husband did an experiment similar to that Twinkie one, but with a Devil Dog. It's similar to a Twinkie but chocolate cake. He left one on the dashboard of his car and didn't want to eat it, so he decided to see what would happen if he left it there. Apparently, the plastic wrapper decayed and fell apart, and the Devil Dog still had no mold on it.
I like Twinkies, and I'll get them if I can find them on the Manager's Special shelf. I liked Suzy Qs, too, but I can't find them anymore. Oh, well. I guess I'll have to find some copycat recipes on the internet.
As a Gen Z American Im shocked candy corn is so hated. I always loved it when i during Halloween, alongside peanut butter cups and twix. I totally agree with the Easter egg candy, i still ate it as a kid, but it used to give me headaches if i ate more than a few bites.
Ironically, when the company that owned twinkies went out of business and we bought up a few years later, they had to increase the shelf life to make them profitable again.
I'm German, and I absolutely love Black Licorice. The more south you get to Europe, the sweeter they seem to be, but only the real salty Scandinavian one is the best. But I also don't like sweet candies, so give me all the licorice you don't want!
I used to eat a ton of chocolate eggs. I once ate a 1 lb. chocolate rabbit during a school trip. I eat any milk chocolate that lacks a filling. These days it's Jersey Milk, Dairy Milk, AERO, and Lindt Bars. I think I might be a Chocoholic.😆
@@LostSoulchild89 Not when I was young. I have a high tolerance. I'm in my 40s now, so I only eat a bar a day (plus Malteasers). So I don't know if I have the same tolerance. During Christmas I eat many Lindt chocolates and I feel fine.
I'm the weird one here with the Mint Chocolate MnMs. I absolutely love them! That said I kind of had a feeling it's not very popular. My entire family hates them meaning when I get them I don't have to share lol. No one else will touch these and I feel like I have my very own snack in my big family. I thought they were discontinued but thanks to your video I looked them up and I guess I can still buy them from the company directly. Just ordered 12 large bags
*Rockets or Smarties?* Here, in Canada, we have both! Funny story: my mother used to be under the unfortunate _care_ of a doctor who would prescribe her lots and lots of pills. This meant that there were lots of empty pill bottles around the house. Since my favourite candy, at the time, was the chocolate Smarties, I would sort them by colour, put them in cleaned pill bottles and create my own little Smarties medecine cabinet in an old shoe box. When my mother would be taking a pill, I would eat a Smarties button candy to mimic her. Seeing me eat so many candies made her realize just how many pills she was gulping down so she eventually quit the pills and the doctor. So did I, lay off the Smarties... Another triumph for Smarties!
As far as the Oreo/Swedish Fish combo goes,some candy stores actually sell chocolate covered Swedish Fish. They sell fairly well and the combination in that form isnt as bad. I used to be a stock supervisor at a candy store in Las Vegas and tourists were in love with these.
I feel like the oreos weren’t as enjoyed because of two factors. For one the cookies aren’t exactly the same as straight up chocolate. And you also have the fact that the cream only attempts to emulate the taste of a Swedish fish, and that attempt is going to be hit or miss. It’s not really the same as taking a swedish fish and completely covering it in milk chocolate or something.
I love dirt. (It sounds gross but bare with me) Dirt (or dirt cake) is a delicious combination between chocolate cake mixed with a chocolate cream that also has gummy worms in it, and It's soooo good. I've only ever gotten it at a barbeque place in Tennessee, because it is unfortunately uncommon. It's basically Mississippi mud, but with gummy worms, and It comes from the south (I'm pretty sure it might not) where I have roots from. (My grandpa was born in Kentucky)
During the Twinkie Panic of 2012, my family managed to get a single box because my brother and I had never actually tasted them. That was the last Twinkie I've ever had. I tasted it and promptly decided it would not be a tragedy if they were discontinued.
I'll never forget buying a family pack of strawberry twizzlers thinking they'd taste like any strawberry gummy, and finding out then and there that I despise anything resembling licorice.
The red filling Oreos made me remember some holiday Oreos that also had red filling, but still tasted the same of the regular white filling. I honestly almost gagged when I saw them because I ate said holiday Oreos when I was a kid, and I ate a little too much then I should have, because I got sick in the middle of the night and didn’t even make it to the bathroom. My mom came in, and we both were disgusted by the mess. It looked like I threw up blood. Nowadays I can’t even look at Oreos without gagging, whether their red or not.
@soaringfox1620, me too, except mine was Hershey's Snow Caps. One time, I stayed at my mom's friends' house with her and my brother in 2000 on a weekend. That night, my babysitter let me have snow caps and I ate too many on accident and threw up in their downstairs bathroom but on the floor in front of the toilet ☹️. That was in the middle of the night. Once I woke up my mom and told her what happened, she helped me clean it up. 😢
It's funny hearing you bring up the generic Easter egg chocolates. As a kid my mom exclusively bought Easter chocolates from the Dollar Tree. I noticed it tasted kinda weird but I still liked it enough to eat them all. Maybe I had an acquired taste from eating then for so many years. I wonder if adult me would still like it as I haven't had them for years now 😂
I think the mint m&ms are best used in baking. Mix them in chocolate cookies and you get a flavor as delicious as those overpriced Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies 🍪 😋
Im glad you can enjoy the weird cum colored chunks covered in 20 year old chocolate that I can't eat without vomiting. But don't be surprised when bounty and mounds bars end up discontinuing.
Man, I remember having Bounty as favorite candy in my childhood. It was kinda surprising hear about them being hated. I didn't taste it in a long time, so I don't know if my relationship with it now would've been the same
I love the Swedish Fish. Truly a very unique flavor for candy. That being said I never tried the Swedish Fish Oreos. Because they kind of grossed me out. And never really found them appealing from the get go.
There are 2 types of licorice: bitter one and salty one. I despisethe salty ones, but the bitter ones are one of my all time vavourites. Also, I really like Bounty. As a matter of fact, I truly love the coconut in chocolate combination :)
Marshmellows in general are already way too sweet for me but peeps take it to another level. They are so grossly sweet. Thise heart candies are similar on hoe gross theu are but theyre both hross for a different reason, those heart things are rock fucking hard and taste like paper sprinkled with a microgram of sugar while peeps feel like my tongue is being violated and is itchy. I dont like intense amounts of sugar, hell i cant even finish a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch. Most american "foods" are too overloaded with sugar for me so i may just not be used to clogging my arteries but eugh
Agree Marshmallows are perfectly fine on their own, doesn't need to be covered in disgusting sugar. Peeps and Neco Waffers are the worst candy, Change My Mind. I actually like Swedish Fish, Licorice, Circus Peanuts, Artificial Banana. Don't mind Candy Corn in moderation.
I used to look at candy corn on tv and wonder what flavour it had (I had fantasies of it tasting like buttery sweet popcorn) then I finally tried one as a young adult and found that they taste like a crumbly old honey scented candle.
I can confirm that we love black licorice in Iceland, most popular candy in the country is basically chocolate-covered licorice bits. There also variety like salt and pepper flavors licorice, one of the main snack that I eat while working pepper flavored chocolate almonds.
From what I’ve could tell, unbranded easter eggs might taste better or worse depending on the manufacturer. I remember Canada having decent enough off-brand eggs. They weren’t amazing, but the sugar didn’t really overpower me. A lot of people I know tend to buy them for baking and cake decorating. UK/Canada smarties are also a popular choice for cake decorating because of their muted taste compared to other chocolate buttons.
I see that Twinkies are not the most popular candy here too. Basically every original US sweet in Germany is rather expensive, but Twinkies are available in the 1€ stores.
I love bounty chocolates, whenever I've had celebrations it's always the mars bars chocolates that nobody wants and are left in the celebrations box. That's disappointing to find out that they have removed bounty bars from celebration boxes. Jenna xx 😀
I adored the generic easter chocolate eggs as a kid. No one would ever eat them so I would munch on them for weeks on end. I still seek them out at times as an adult!
I think there was probably a point in time where Twinkies were made in smaller batches and resembled baked goods. The last time I had a Twinkie was probably in the year 2000 it was pretty bad lol.
I actually liked Twinkies. I even tried them recently during my break at my job at Fred Meyers. But one junk food I didn't like was chocolate flavored Skittles. I tried them from my college vending machine and I regretted it and couldn't even finish the bag.
A dutchie here, Licorice (heh, such a weird name for Drop) is basically the standard here, its gets passed around the same here as non dutchies would with peppermints or smints. I was truly shocked when i visited other countries and discovered Drop wasnt actually a regular universal candy like Haribos or Oreos
I'm English and like salted liquorice. It's not a thing here in England I don't think but I was introduced to it by a German tutor and I know my Dutch tutor likes it too, obviously lol
Something good you can do with dried coconut flakes: oven roast them until golden brown, emulsify them in olive oil and use that as a base for tossing roasted sweet potato wedges. I add a bunch of salt too but it's not needed.
I'm starting to wonder if mint was the victim of some sort of thousand-year long slander campaign or something like that. Also, coconut and chocolate are a good combination, dammit!
I must have old person taste buds because seeing the “worst” Halloween candy list kinda made me question why some were hated like I was shocked, I love Tootsie rolls, peanut butter kisses, candy corn and circus peanuts, I think some people are just exaggerating those candies are so good.
I like mint M&Ms. It tasted good but the mint does tend to overpower the chocolate. I tend to eat them around the X-mas season. Other than that, I tend toward the regular M & Ms or Peanut flavor.
I live in the town that Twinkies were made for alll those many years. We had a Hostess Outlet that you could get all those treats and bread super cheap…it was great. When it was announced they just up and closed without notice, that was really crappy for those workers. If I remember right, another factory took anyone that wanted a job quickly. Now the factory is a really cool cycle bar with amazing microbrews. It was a great addition for our downtown.
Here to say I completely agree on the Candy Corn + peanuts combo. It's great and the salt helps break up what otherwise is a really one note honey sweet candy. And secondly also here to say that I freaking LOVE American smarties. Full stop. They are childhood to me. My favorite flavor was the white tabs though really I loved them all.
12:20 Oh my gosh, I used to LOVE those wax cola bottles, they were one of my favorites! Also, I feel like if they played their cards better and made the M&Ms MINT chocolate, they’d be much better!
UK here and I actually prefer smarties to m&ms because they're less sweet so I can enjoy the chocolate more. (Plus lots of childhood memories of them as a treat lol.) Also bounty bars were my mums favourite chocolate, but we cant seem to find them anymore. She likes any coconut and chocolate possibly because it reminds her of tropical holidays, so I guess she's in that 18%. And we both adore that Turkish delight, I love roses and it's like eating the essence of a sweet rose wrapped up in sultry chocolate... Though I love the normal Turkish delight with powdered sugar too, but then I was brought up on it. If you dont like liquorice I'd love to see your reaction to sarsaparilla, it's like drinking liquorice lol. I used to have that when I was little too, definitely an acquired taste...
I can tell right now, my mind will never switch to chocolate. To me it Smarties will always be tart, chalky, and fruity. The closest comparison to better candy will be Skittles. As for Sarsparilla, I love it, it tastes like an early version of Root Beer, which can have licorice root in it. Not much of an acquired taste in the states.
As a Dutch, i really like licorice, and mint flavors in genereal. I also like bounty and coconut stuff. I love stuff from Lindor or Lindt with easter, get most times something when it is on sale afterwards
I actually really like Bounty, I think the flavors of coconut and chocolate work really well together and I also really like the texture, which is kinda rare for me since I'm really texture sensitive.
i'm not sure i'd call it my absolute favorite, but i definitely like black licorice--these days i typically get the soft-and-chewy dollar store type (Wiley Wallaby in particular) rather than the stiffer kind you might be thinking of. i particularly like it for movies and flights.
Generic brand easter egg chocolates were always the last left in my candy baskets as a kid. I don't even remember them tasting bad, per say, but I never cared for them compared to other candies. Even black licorice, which I do remember being so bitter they made me sick when I was little and thought it'd be a good idea to shove a handful of black licorice in my mouth, as if that'd somehow make it taste better. 😂😂😂
Have never had a Bounty bar, but have always liked Almond Joy, which is chocolate-covered sweetened moist coconut with an almond on top. Oskri has a really good dark chocolate-covered moist sweetened coconut bar also. I usually don't like dark chocolate much, but when it enrobes coconut, it actually tastes good. I tried Ocho dark chocolate coconut bar once and liked it. Maybe the problem with Bounty bars is that their coconut filling is too dry and maybe not sweet enough. Moist and sweet is the way to go for coconut filling.
i think it's funny that so many people hate candy corn, it's one of my favorite candies, i always get this large bag of it and just snack on that throughout the year i didn't know i liked it until recently though, i had to buy some for myself because despite it being so associated with halloween i've never recieved it while trick or treating, and i honestly didn't think i'd like it, mostly because of that "i don't like candy corn" song from my childhood lol, i was pleasantly surprised
I like candy corn too, although it's not one of my favorites. Idk, maybe it's just something you grow to like as your taste buds mature, but even as a kid, I don't remember hating them.
One more thing. The hated Turkish Delight appears in Kenneth Branagh's "Belfast" (2021). Bobby shoplifts from Mr. Singh on a dare. He panics and grabs the first thing he can and runs. His friend scolds him for swiping a Turkish Delight because nobody likes them!
I always was a bit weirded by how much candy corn is hated. They're actually one of my favorite Halloween specific candies, but to each their own
Dude, same. I love candy corn.
Same
Yeah! Same!
I used to love them as a kid, my school would hand out a few as rewards. As an adult though, it's cloyingly sweet to me. I can't eat more than a couple without reaching for something salty to get all the overpowered sweetness out of my mouth.

The fact that mint M&Ms were on the list and the fact that circus peanuts weren’t are both really surprising to me.

I like the green M&M.
That's it!

@@cassiebarber4669 Yeah I love the pretzel ones. Peanut butter and pretzel are my favorites.
@@candiedpandie oh basically they are peanut-shaped marshmallows that are flavored like the Gros Michel banana.
For those of us who remember the schoolyard Halloween candy currency exchange, we coconut lovers made out like BANDITS! I have always loved coconut! The going rate of one Mars bar to 3-5 coconut bars meant I could easily triple my candy haul.
Now that's good economics.
That’s true. In a Halloween bag you were almost certain to get almond joys, so if you were the rare bird who liked them you had a lot of leverage.
For those who don't know, Bounty Bars aren't available in the US, but are similar to what we have called "Mounds," with the nut version called "Almond Joy"
I adore Almond Joys.

I've always been a mint-chocolate junkie, so I legitimately liked the mint M&Ms; was sad to see them vanish. As for black licorice, I can't stand the stuff. I'll always remember Codename: Kids Next Door literally associating black licorice with a curse and portraying even candy pirates as despising the stuff.
As a person from the uk the smarties hate is unbelievable. I bet most kids in the uk would pick smarties over m&m's. m&m's chocolate might just be different here in the uk but it tastes far better as well imo. The colours are all natural which even leads the orange one to have an orange fruit flavour to it. I do understand though that they are more ment for kids which is why they might be less sweet and have more 'healthy' attributes to them...
I'm American and while we do have smarties there the crappy chalk like candy and not M&Ms brother in law. As far as I know, you can't get *_real_* smarties in the states, or at least I can't find them here in Michigan.
i have always loved smarties and didnt like the nutty m and ms. especially now that i know m and ms are not vegetarian. smarties are so so cool and i used to always love it as a kid. it is like skittles but with chocolate. i didn't know that american smarties are chalky wth
British here, Smarties top normal M&Ms, I like the peanut ones though
@@TheBestCat1290vegetarian? Get a life
As someone who has a peanut allergy and avoids M&Ms due to cross contamination concerns, British Smarties are rather special to me cause they were about as close as I got lol
That's completely understandable. I hadn't thought of peanut allergies before and I definitely should've mentioned that :)
@@phantomstrider :)
@@phantomstrider You forgot to show a celebrations commercial where they advertised Bounty to come back to the box.
They have changed recipe smarties used to be unbelievable and moreish could easily eat a tube in one sitting now they’re overly sweet and taste awful!
@@phantomstriderIf I would fix the mint m&Ms I would actually put mint leaves in there grounded up. That's how it should have been Eminem's with mint leaves grounded up in there
One candy I hate and don’t see mentioned enough is the generic strawberry hard candies. I don’t even know what they’re called, who makes them, or where people even get them, but they always seem to show up around Halloween, and every old person will probably have them if they’re the type to have a candy dish/bowl somewhere around the house.
The outside is okay, but they have this thick, gel-like center that has such an overly strong taste to it, it honestly reminds me of a cough medicine.
Lol those be the ones at the bottom of grandma purse. She'll dig it out and blow the crumbs away before she hands it to you when sitting in church.
Seeing you juggling those tiny, wonky-shaped, foil-wrapped eggs is even more impressive than your usual juggling! They look so awkward to handle, so kudos to you!
Do you remember when bits of the Foyle would actually get stuck on the chocolate
Are they as bad as the generic peanut/choc flavour eggs in America at easter? Had them on a family holiday, revolting things!
Thanks! 😁 Had to do 3 takes of that one lol.
@@phantomstrider chocolate coins are worse. Imagine the worst chocolate you could imagine, shaped into coin shapes and surrounded in bright gold foil, then put in bags and left to sit for (years?) in shops. For worst savory snack, try dry loathsome Combos.
The lidl chocolate coins are ok ish. Not unlike galaxy in taste. I raise you with the chocolate In generic advent calendars 😩(not the branded ones)
The best part of actually being a fan of Frys Turkish Delight is that whenever a box of favourites is pulled out I won't have to fight anyone for it
you would hate to meet my dad at a party then, i think they're okay but i wouldn't go out of my way to eat them, whenever someone brought favourites over he'd be the only one eating them
im one of the very rare people who loves bounty chocolate. I just love coconut flavored things, and it never bothered my throat personally. I totally understand why some dont like it, but ill be here in my corner loving them. (theyre not hated where i come from too, i had no idea people didnt like them in other parts of the world until this video) The coconut inside is also never dry, its always very juicy in my country.
Over here in the States, we have Mounds bars instead, and they are a beloved candy bar, so I don't know what Bounty is doing wrong, though I did read they only have the milk chocolate version available now, while Mounds uses a less sweet dark chocolate. Bounty is more like an Almond Joy bar, sans almonds.
I never tried the Swedish Fish Oreos, but I feel like it would've been more palatable if they used the golden Oreo cookie instead of the chocolate one
I love the golden oreos... and you might have something there. Vanilla goes with damn near everything.
“Caramels, they’d get stuck in your braces wouldn’t it? Lollipops, what we called ‘cavities on a stick.’ Then we have all this, all this chocolate.” Dr. Wilbur Wonka
I instantly remembered Sir Christopher Lee protrayed Wilbur Wonka .
It's really funny that at first I was offended that Smarties was on this list, but then I realized that I loved to eat chalk as a kid, so the entire reason I loved Smarties was because they had the taste and texture of something you shouldn't even be eating XD
Good to know.
Personally, I really like American smarties. I'm not really a fan of very overly sweet things, so the more, I guess, mild taste of smarties is appealing to me. In fact, when my friends and I were staying in a hotel together we got a bunch of smarties, opened them, put them all in a cup, and took "sips" of the cup, which was really just eating a mouthful of smarties
I have a three pound bag of them in my room. Odd thing is I got it before I had my gall bladder removed, and afterwards, I had issues with heartburn, so started buying the store brand of Tums chewables, which taste exactly like Smarties candy, much to my delight.
As a Smarties lover, I can see how a lot more people hate it.
Which ones?
smarties give you the smarts also :D but these on list do not!
I also like smarties
there were chocolate buttons also called Smarties? i've only had the tart like candy version
@@pkmnlover3812 American spotting.
My husband did an experiment similar to that Twinkie one, but with a Devil Dog. It's similar to a Twinkie but chocolate cake. He left one on the dashboard of his car and didn't want to eat it, so he decided to see what would happen if he left it there. Apparently, the plastic wrapper decayed and fell apart, and the Devil Dog still had no mold on it.
I like Twinkies, and I'll get them if I can find them on the Manager's Special shelf. I liked Suzy Qs, too, but I can't find them anymore. Oh, well. I guess I'll have to find some copycat recipes on the internet.
Preservatives dipsh!t duh
As a Gen Z American Im shocked candy corn is so hated. I always loved it when i during Halloween, alongside peanut butter cups and twix.
I totally agree with the Easter egg candy, i still ate it as a kid, but it used to give me headaches if i ate more than a few bites.
Millennial here, is candy corn popular with Zoomers?
I assumed it was mostly popular with Boomers due to nostalgia.
I personally love candy corn but I kind of understand why others don't like it. It's definitely an acquired taste
18:51-18:56; 21:06-21:08 Seeing those clips of Moose and Zee singing about not liking candy corn took me back. Thank you for using those in the video!
Same!
Two howdys in one video? This MUST be a special video!
I guess those "Circus Peanuts" that taste like nothing were so bad, he couldn't even rate them without vomiting
Ironically, when the company that owned twinkies went out of business and we bought up a few years later, they had to increase the shelf life to make them profitable again.
As a danish person it sound unreal that licorice would be such a hated thing especially among kids. It's simply a delicacy.
Different Cultures. Different Taste buds.
I love liquorice, they sell these liquorice sticks at a shop near by and I always have to grab one for a snack!
Popular in Sweden.
Im danish too.
I absolutely love licorice. I even loved it when I was a child, It was so weird to me when I realized people actually hated the candy.
I'm German, and I absolutely love Black Licorice. The more south you get to Europe, the sweeter they seem to be, but only the real salty Scandinavian one is the best. But I also don't like sweet candies, so give me all the licorice you don't want!
22:00 mounds are good
I used to eat a ton of chocolate eggs.
I once ate a 1 lb. chocolate rabbit during a school trip.
I eat any milk chocolate that lacks a filling.
These days it's Jersey Milk, Dairy Milk, AERO, and Lindt Bars.
I think I might be a Chocoholic.😆
@@LostSoulchild89 Not when I was young. I have a high tolerance.
I'm in my 40s now, so I only eat a bar a day (plus Malteasers). So I don't know if I have the same tolerance. During Christmas I eat many Lindt chocolates and I feel fine.
I love how he does his silly personal opinion bits, it's wholesome af
Glad this channel has been so amazing for so long

I'm the weird one here with the Mint Chocolate MnMs. I absolutely love them! That said I kind of had a feeling it's not very popular. My entire family hates them meaning when I get them I don't have to share lol. No one else will touch these and I feel like I have my very own snack in my big family. I thought they were discontinued but thanks to your video I looked them up and I guess I can still buy them from the company directly. Just ordered 12 large bags
They’re just so satisfying to eat!! I like how the mint compliments the chocolate
I love them too
*Rockets or Smarties?*
Here, in Canada, we have both!
Funny story: my mother used to be under the unfortunate _care_ of a doctor who would prescribe her lots and lots of pills. This meant that there were lots of empty pill bottles around the house.
Since my favourite candy, at the time, was the chocolate Smarties, I would sort them by colour, put them in cleaned pill bottles and create my own little Smarties medecine cabinet in an old shoe box.
When my mother would be taking a pill, I would eat a Smarties button candy to mimic her.
Seeing me eat so many candies made her realize just how many pills she was gulping down so she eventually quit the pills and the doctor. So did I, lay off the Smarties...
Another triumph for Smarties!
The way I died laughing at the comment 'GO HOME NABISCO, YOU'RE DRUNK' 🤣🤣
As far as the Oreo/Swedish Fish combo goes,some candy stores actually sell chocolate covered Swedish Fish. They sell fairly well and the combination in that form isnt as bad. I used to be a stock supervisor at a candy store in Las Vegas and tourists were in love with these.
I feel like the oreos weren’t as enjoyed because of two factors.
For one the cookies aren’t exactly the same as straight up chocolate.
And you also have the fact that the cream only attempts to emulate the taste of a Swedish fish, and that attempt is going to be hit or miss. It’s not really the same as taking a swedish fish and completely covering it in milk chocolate or something.
@@AiLoveAidoru That's definitely understandable. I'm just pointing out why Nabisco probably thought it was a good idea lol
I love Swedish Fish. The Swedish Fish and Friends is also great, I can see why some people don't like it.
I love dirt. (It sounds gross but bare with me) Dirt (or dirt cake) is a delicious combination between chocolate cake mixed with a chocolate cream that also has gummy worms in it, and It's soooo good. I've only ever gotten it at a barbeque place in Tennessee, because it is unfortunately uncommon. It's basically Mississippi mud, but with gummy worms, and It comes from the south (I'm pretty sure it might not) where I have roots from. (My grandpa was born in Kentucky)
19:24 People are so desperate even Moose and Zee joined the fun!
Moose: Thanks, Zee! Now everyone will all know I don’t like candy corn.
How can someone not like chocolate and coconut?? It's like one of the best combinations ever
You tried coconut with dark chocolate it’s next level taste!
I agree
I love chocolate + coconut!
I definitely hate coconut.
Mounds
During the Twinkie Panic of 2012, my family managed to get a single box because my brother and I had never actually tasted them.
That was the last Twinkie I've ever had. I tasted it and promptly decided it would not be a tragedy if they were discontinued.
Same here I tried one last year the chocolate one and the original they’re disgusting! Never again!
I'll never forget buying a family pack of strawberry twizzlers thinking they'd taste like any strawberry gummy, and finding out then and there that I despise anything resembling licorice.
Oh yeah they taste awful...like wax with very artificial flavour
Australian licorice that tastes of molasses is much better than the not-much of Red Vines.
I think the idea of a banana split oreo sounds amazing if done well but I guess it wasn't done very well 😅
Smarties actually started out as having different flavors for the candy coating. I don't know when or why they stopped doing that.
The only flavour I remember is the orange ones tasting of orange
The red filling Oreos made me remember some holiday Oreos that also had red filling, but still tasted the same of the regular white filling. I honestly almost gagged when I saw them because I ate said holiday Oreos when I was a kid, and I ate a little too much then I should have, because I got sick in the middle of the night and didn’t even make it to the bathroom. My mom came in, and we both were disgusted by the mess. It looked like I threw up blood. Nowadays I can’t even look at Oreos without gagging, whether their red or not.
@soaringfox1620, me too, except mine was Hershey's Snow Caps. One time, I stayed at my mom's friends' house with her and my brother in 2000 on a weekend. That night, my babysitter let me have snow caps and I ate too many on accident and threw up in their downstairs bathroom but on the floor in front of the toilet ☹️. That was in the middle of the night. Once I woke up my mom and told her what happened, she helped me clean it up. 😢
How to eat candy corn:
1. Buy candy corn
2. Put straight into trash
It's funny hearing you bring up the generic Easter egg chocolates. As a kid my mom exclusively bought Easter chocolates from the Dollar Tree. I noticed it tasted kinda weird but I still liked it enough to eat them all. Maybe I had an acquired taste from eating then for so many years. I wonder if adult me would still like it as I haven't had them for years now 😂
I always got the generic chocolate Easter eggs on Easter, I like the ones covered in foil but I hate the ones with the hard shell
Surprised to see bounty at no. 2. I actually really enjoy it. It's like my 2nd favorite chocolate bar, right after snickers.
I think the mint m&ms are best used in baking. Mix them in chocolate cookies and you get a flavor as delicious as those overpriced Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies 🍪 😋
Anyone who hates Bounty and Mounds... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love them and y'all just leave countless amounts for me, yay!💗💗💗💗
It's good until they call to ban them
Leave some Bounty bars for me :)
Im glad you can enjoy the weird cum colored chunks covered in 20 year old chocolate that I can't eat without vomiting. But don't be surprised when bounty and mounds bars end up discontinuing.
@@Slaymisi why does everyone hate bountys? I also really love them ;-;
@@heavy-purple-mixx3779 same!
Man, I remember having Bounty as favorite candy in my childhood. It was kinda surprising hear about them being hated. I didn't taste it in a long time, so I don't know if my relationship with it now would've been the same
I love bounty’s
My favourite was Snickers, I never hated Bounty but I always preferred everything over Bounties.
I still love it
Phantomstrider has gifted us today with content! I am grateful 🙇
I like your profile picture. Metal sonic is awesome!
I love the Swedish Fish. Truly a very unique flavor for candy. That being said I never tried the Swedish Fish Oreos. Because they kind of grossed me out. And never really found them appealing from the get go.
There are 2 types of licorice: bitter one and salty one. I despisethe salty ones, but the bitter ones are one of my all time vavourites.
Also, I really like Bounty. As a matter of fact, I truly love the coconut in chocolate combination :)
To me, one of the most prominent 'why do these exist' foods that come to mind is Peeps.
Marshmellows in general are already way too sweet for me but peeps take it to another level. They are so grossly sweet. Thise heart candies are similar on hoe gross theu are but theyre both hross for a different reason, those heart things are rock fucking hard and taste like paper sprinkled with a microgram of sugar while peeps feel like my tongue is being violated and is itchy. I dont like intense amounts of sugar, hell i cant even finish a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch. Most american "foods" are too overloaded with sugar for me so i may just not be used to clogging my arteries but eugh
Agree Marshmallows are perfectly fine on their own, doesn't need to be covered in disgusting sugar. Peeps and Neco Waffers are the worst candy, Change My Mind. I actually like Swedish Fish, Licorice, Circus Peanuts, Artificial Banana. Don't mind Candy Corn in moderation.
I used to look at candy corn on tv and wonder what flavour it had (I had fantasies of it tasting like buttery sweet popcorn) then I finally tried one as a young adult and found that they taste like a crumbly old honey scented candle.
I can confirm that we love black licorice in Iceland, most popular candy in the country is basically chocolate-covered licorice bits. There also variety like salt and pepper flavors licorice, one of the main snack that I eat while working pepper flavored chocolate almonds.
From what I’ve could tell, unbranded easter eggs might taste better or worse depending on the manufacturer. I remember Canada having decent enough off-brand eggs.
They weren’t amazing, but the sugar didn’t really overpower me. A lot of people I know tend to buy them for baking and cake decorating.
UK/Canada smarties are also a popular choice for cake decorating because of their muted taste compared to other chocolate buttons.
I see that Twinkies are not the most popular candy here too. Basically every original US sweet in Germany is rather expensive, but Twinkies are available in the 1€ stores.
I love bounty chocolates, whenever I've had celebrations it's always the mars bars chocolates that nobody wants and are left in the celebrations box. That's disappointing to find out that they have removed bounty bars from celebration boxes. Jenna xx 😀
I actually find Twinkies good (I’m 22) and I haven’t had Candy Corn in a while, but I thought they were not bad at all.
Thanks for the video, Strider!
I'm 22 as well. I turned 22 a few weeks ago on the 8th.
I also like candy corn. But it's one of those candies that I love but I can only handle it in small portions.
Agreed!
@@Twinklethefox9022 Yes pretty much agreed
@@christianparrish3292 happy late birthday, Christian!
I adored the generic easter chocolate eggs as a kid. No one would ever eat them so I would munch on them for weeks on end. I still seek them out at times as an adult!
I personally love bounty bars. Not as an everyday treat, usually I got for milk chocolate almonds, but once in a while I enjoy a bounty bar.
I think there was probably a point in time where Twinkies were made in smaller batches and resembled baked goods. The last time I had a Twinkie was probably in the year 2000 it was pretty bad lol.
I actually liked Twinkies. I even tried them recently during my break at my job at Fred Meyers. But one junk food I didn't like was chocolate flavored Skittles. I tried them from my college vending machine and I regretted it and couldn't even finish the bag.
A dutchie here, Licorice (heh, such a weird name for Drop) is basically the standard here, its gets passed around the same here as non dutchies would with peppermints or smints. I was truly shocked when i visited other countries and discovered Drop wasnt actually a regular universal candy like Haribos or Oreos
I'm English and like salted liquorice. It's not a thing here in England I don't think but I was introduced to it by a German tutor and I know my Dutch tutor likes it too, obviously lol
Something good you can do with dried coconut flakes: oven roast them until golden brown, emulsify them in olive oil and use that as a base for tossing roasted sweet potato wedges. I add a bunch of salt too but it's not needed.
Another good thing to do with any kind of coconut, throw it in the trash.
I'm starting to wonder if mint was the victim of some sort of thousand-year long slander campaign or something like that.
Also, coconut and chocolate are a good combination, dammit!
I must have old person taste buds because seeing the “worst” Halloween candy list kinda made me question why some were hated like I was shocked, I love Tootsie rolls, peanut butter kisses, candy corn and circus peanuts, I think some people are just exaggerating those candies are so good.
I like mint M&Ms. It tasted good but the mint does tend to overpower the chocolate. I tend to eat them around the X-mas season. Other than that, I tend toward the regular M & Ms or Peanut flavor.
Same. they remind me of Girl Scout Thin Mints or Andes Mints.
Me too I actually really like the mint m&ms
I live in the town that Twinkies were made for alll those many years. We had a Hostess Outlet that you could get all those treats and bread super cheap…it was great. When it was announced they just up and closed without notice, that was really crappy for those workers. If I remember right, another factory took anyone that wanted a job quickly. Now the factory is a really cool cycle bar with amazing microbrews. It was a great addition for our downtown.
Here to say I completely agree on the Candy Corn + peanuts combo. It's great and the salt helps break up what otherwise is a really one note honey sweet candy.
And secondly also here to say that I freaking LOVE American smarties. Full stop. They are childhood to me. My favorite flavor was the white tabs though really I loved them all.
Sour patch kids Oreos is a new contender. I'm surprised people hate the lemon ones, they're really good.
12:20 Oh my gosh, I used to LOVE those wax cola bottles, they were one of my favorites!
Also, I feel like if they played their cards better and made the M&Ms MINT chocolate, they’d be much better!
I’m surprised!
😳
I actually like green M&Ms! I wish they weren’t only on the shelves during the Christmas season!
same the mint ones are my favourite, some of the best mint chocolate, also my friend adores the pretzel ones and they are good people are so weird lol
UK here and I actually prefer smarties to m&ms because they're less sweet so I can enjoy the chocolate more. (Plus lots of childhood memories of them as a treat lol.) Also bounty bars were my mums favourite chocolate, but we cant seem to find them anymore. She likes any coconut and chocolate possibly because it reminds her of tropical holidays, so I guess she's in that 18%. And we both adore that Turkish delight, I love roses and it's like eating the essence of a sweet rose wrapped up in sultry chocolate... Though I love the normal Turkish delight with powdered sugar too, but then I was brought up on it. If you dont like liquorice I'd love to see your reaction to sarsaparilla, it's like drinking liquorice lol. I used to have that when I was little too, definitely an acquired taste...
I can tell right now, my mind will never switch to chocolate. To me it Smarties will always be tart, chalky, and fruity. The closest comparison to better candy will be Skittles.
As for Sarsparilla, I love it, it tastes like an early version of Root Beer, which can have licorice root in it. Not much of an acquired taste in the states.
I love your videos! Bounty was an unfortunate choice of name for a candy bar
Yeah a very dumb name.
Cause people are gonna put Bounties on them :)
@@Misto_deVito6009 lol
'Cause I TOTALLY want to be thinking about paper towels while eating my candy!
I love black licorice 😅 I was raised by my grandparents and they always had it around so probably got it from them.
As a Dutch, i really like licorice, and mint flavors in genereal. I also like bounty and coconut stuff. I love stuff from Lindor or Lindt with easter, get most times something when it is on sale afterwards
I actually really like Bounty, I think the flavors of coconut and chocolate work really well together and I also really like the texture, which is kinda rare for me since I'm really texture sensitive.
British Smarties: "They do everything I do"
M&Ms: "But better"
i'm not sure i'd call it my absolute favorite, but i definitely like black licorice--these days i typically get the soft-and-chewy dollar store type (Wiley Wallaby in particular) rather than the stiffer kind you might be thinking of. i particularly like it for movies and flights.
The song at 2:51 is “Get Out of Town” from M&M’s the Lost Formulas/Shell Shocked! Good and fitting music choice, that song is really good.
Generic brand easter egg chocolates were always the last left in my candy baskets as a kid. I don't even remember them tasting bad, per say, but I never cared for them compared to other candies. Even black licorice, which I do remember being so bitter they made me sick when I was little and thought it'd be a good idea to shove a handful of black licorice in my mouth, as if that'd somehow make it taste better. 😂😂😂
i always left the off brand easter eggs as well, as a kid i kinda dreaded eating them because they just weren't as good lol
Have never had a Bounty bar, but have always liked Almond Joy, which is chocolate-covered sweetened moist coconut with an almond on top.
Oskri has a really good dark chocolate-covered moist sweetened coconut bar also. I usually don't like dark chocolate much, but when it enrobes coconut, it actually tastes good.
I tried Ocho dark chocolate coconut bar once and liked it.
Maybe the problem with Bounty bars is that their coconut filling is too dry and maybe not sweet enough. Moist and sweet is the way to go for coconut filling.
I LOVED the pumpkin spice Oreos. They need to make a comeback.
i think it's funny that so many people hate candy corn, it's one of my favorite candies, i always get this large bag of it and just snack on that throughout the year
i didn't know i liked it until recently though, i had to buy some for myself because despite it being so associated with halloween i've never recieved it while trick or treating, and i honestly didn't think i'd like it, mostly because of that "i don't like candy corn" song from my childhood lol, i was pleasantly surprised
I like candy corn too, although it's not one of my favorites. Idk, maybe it's just something you grow to like as your taste buds mature, but even as a kid, I don't remember hating them.
Nothing can match the disappointment of opening up a Celebrations and seeing only the Bounties in there.
I loved the mint flavor of M&M I wish they are brought back. As they aren't available in the American stores I go to anymore.
They are tasty, sadly some can't tolerate it.
@@Jessidafennecfox I love mint chocolate it's just tasty. I wish that it was more popular.
7:28 take that Europeans. Peanut butter is good
And smarties are great, who else remembers “smoking smarties” in middle school or was the just me
One more thing. The hated Turkish Delight appears in Kenneth Branagh's "Belfast" (2021). Bobby shoplifts from Mr. Singh on a dare. He panics and grabs the first thing he can and runs. His friend scolds him for swiping a Turkish Delight because nobody likes them!
My favorite Jelly Bean flavor is Black Licorice, and I love candy corn. The good thing about liking gross candy is that you never have to share it.
To be honest, I had no idea people hated bounties. they’re one of my favourite chocolate bars! Also, great video :)
21:29 for a sec thought you going to talk bounty soap and then think why eating soap now? 😅
As a zoomer, candy corn is pretty good.
