Help me think of a really gross, disgusting kind of candy to put in the candy jar on my desk...

[NewWaveChick1981]

...My problem is that I like just about every kind of candy imaginable. It's office policy to have a candy dish on our desks, presumably to be hospitable to our students and their parents. However, if I have candy in my jar, I can't resist eating it...unless it's something ultra-disgusting and nasty.

My thoughts so far are licorice (which I'll eat if I'm desperate) or horehound (which is truly, absolutely disgusting), but I also don't want to drive prospective students away from us based on candy choice. :rofl: Anyone else have any suggestions? (And I know I can count on Loungers to offer some truly disgusting choices! :P)

Thanks!

Nobody like 'em.

:P :rofl: I'll mix those in with Sour Patch Candy and see what happens... :rofl: Thanks!

[azmouse]

8. Necco wafers and anything gummy.

[NewWaveChick1981]

13. Nah, I love those too...

:hi:

[youthere]

9. Sweetart Shockers.

my kids got some this weekend and let me tell you..NASTY! The first time in my life I ever actually spit out candy-my kids however, loved them.

[NewWaveChick1981]

19. Those'll go well with the Sour Patch Candy and the eyeball gumballs..

:rofl: :hi: Thanks!

[southernleftylady]

those every flavor jelly beans would be great ;)

[ornotna]

20. perfect!

My son has had them. Some of them are absolutely awful.

[NewWaveChick1981]

25. OMFG...

:rofl: My husband has bought Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and found a few he didn't like, like Dirt and Earthworm...:rofl: But some of those candies are priceless! :rofl: Pooping Reindeer Candy??? Black Lung Bubblegum??? :rofl: I'm gonna have to order some of those...

[leftofthedial]

14. gummi eyeballs

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear NewWaveChick!

How about those candies that are based on the ones found in the Harry Potter stories?

They're a kind of jelly bean, IIRC.......

I forget the name......

But they have some awful flavors......

At least the names sound awful!

:rofl:

[youthere]

21. Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans...

And they mean EVERY flavor.
Jelly Belly puts them out IRL. Trust me, stay away from the vomit flavored ones.

[borlis]

29. They have dirt and ear wax flavors too!

Go ahead.....and please do report back to us! :hi:

[malta blue]

23. My kid bought them at B&N recently

and threw the whole bag away - Bertie something or other....

[LostinVA]

17. Circus Peanuts

As far as I know, my BIL is the only living adult who likes them.

[MissMillie]

34. that's a winner

:puke:

[Hugin]

37. Thirded...

:coughinguphairballsmilie:

[LostinVA]

18. Circus Peanuts

As far as I know, my BIL is the only living adult who likes them.

[bbernardini]

24. Those tequila-flavored lollipops with the worm in them. nt

[mzteris]

27. DURIAN!

It is absolutely the WORST. It even smells bad. My son said he'd rather suck on dirty socks than even smell it again.

[Crazy Dave]

28. Corn candy

But I think you can only buy it at halloween.

[Katherine Brengle]

30. What about those sugarless diabetic candies?

At least then you're cutting down on cals and if anyone asks you can say you are trying to make sure everyone can enjoy them :D.

[deucemagnet]

31. Here's a link.

I think anything with tamarind will do the trick nicely. Don't think of it as driving away prospective students. You'll just be weeding out the weak ones. ;)

[Kali]

59. tamarind is delicious!

[CanuckAmok]

32. Solved:

[flvegan]

33. Really short electric pet fencing.

Set it around the perimeter of the candy jar and wear the receiver on a bracelet. You reach for the candy, you get a humane "zap"

Kids get candy, you show creativity and innovation.

[erinlough]

35. sanded horehound candies

Really old fashioned and terrible candy. My 87 year old parents crave them, although I can't tell you why. I can promise you no one will take more than one!

Here is the link at 71.00 for 30 pounds!!!!!

Good Luck!

[Zavulon]

36. Smarties

Those things suck.

[Jokerman]

38. Crunchy Frog...

Spring Surprise
Ram's Bladder Cup

All from the Whizzo Chocolate Company.
(and the delightfully demented minds of the python clan)

[Scout]

39. booger or vomit-flavored jelly bellies n/t

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

41. I was thinking the same thing. n/t

[Nickster]

40. Ohhh! Anything with Anise in it. GAACKKK! n/t

[racaulk]

42. How about some York Peppermint Patties?

Disgusting. :puke:

(BTW, I'm with you on the orange circus peanuts. I love those things!!!)

[Guava Jelly]

43. ludens cough drops

:)

[mikeytherat]

44. Either of these:

mikey_the_rat

[momophile]

Old fashioned and icky.

[central scrutinizer]

47. double salted licorice

A British "treat". I have only seen it in Canada. The first half-second it tastes like licorice, then the salt kicks in and you go WTF!! They also sell single-salted but why go half-way?

[Dora]

48. chick-o-sticks

Butterfinger toothache wrapped in a Frito.

[Rabrrrrrr]

49. Circus Peanuts get my vote, too

:puke:

[Parche]

51. GROSS CANDY

[NewWaveChick1981]

52. OMG, I'm LMAO at most of these...

:rofl: Some I actually like (like candy corn, Peeps, and circus peanuts! :P), but I can go with the rest of them. Oh, and one I forgot about that I could add to the mix---any candy flavored with violet or lavender. :puke: Yes, this stuff exists, and it tastes like soap. :puke:

[Beer Snob-50]

55. violet or lavender candy

i am sorry, but if it don't taste like snickers/hershey bar it ain't candy

[u4ic]

53. Hot mustard candies

I used to get them at the joke store as a teenager, put them in a legitimate candy bag, and feed them to my peers. They were normal hard candy on the outside (butterscotch, I think? I never tried one), but filled with hot mustard.


I stopped when I made some poor guy throw up in physics class because of the taste. :P

[Orsino]

56. As long as you're spending someone else's money...

...make it marzipan. It might as well be expensive crap.

[Aristus]

57. Well, NWC, you could soak some old buttons in extract of garlic.

Then set them in the dish on your desk. You can call them "Everlasting Garlic Gobstoppers" or something... You can suck, and suck, and suck, and they NEVER grow any smaller!

Sorry, NWC. That was the best I could think of. All the really bad candies have already been suggested.

Unless... Do you remember a candy from the '80's Rambo period called "Black Flak"? It was a kind of licorice bubble gum, square, black and sold in a chewing tobacco pouch. Give that a try.

Either way, :puke: will result. B-)

[Kali]

58. the horehound is a good choice

but likely you will begin to develop a taste for it

[Burma Jones]

60. Well, Snickers are now offensive

due to their advertising......

[Spider Jerusalem]

61. If there's an international market near you...

you should check out their selection of Mexican and Asian candies. There's some seriously disgusting (by American standards) stuff to be found there.

[Kali]

63. you just reminded me of some hard candies

I bought at an Int. market a while back. It was an assortment of flavors, most of them were basic fruit flavors and not too bad, but the gold colored ones were corn flavored - and they were very strange tasting to me. Hard to describe, but there WAS an element of corn to it. I didn't really adjust to it.

[fudge stripe cookays]

62. Are there any diabetics in your office?

Sounds like a bullshit policy to me. I just lost 12 pounds. I'd tell them to shove their candy dish where the sun don't shine.
