Now that Halloween is over, you probably have some loose candy laying around, or if not you at probably least have some candy opinions, so vent about em here.


Everlasting Gobstoppers: 2/10
What the gently caress even are these things? They're basically just rocks. Even when you finally crunch em there's no fuckin flavor at all, gently caress these things.

Charleston Chew: 5/10
Fine. Whatever. It's like the candy equivalent of ocean sounds playing in the background.

Yorks Peppermint Patty: 7/10
Pretty dece. Refreshing. Can't eat a lot of em tho.

Jelly Belly jelly beans: 9/10
Idk who gave these things out to my kid but God Bless You.

Canadian ratings, I guess:

Aero: 4/10
it's "just ok" chocolate with air bubbles in it, meaning you get less chocolate overall. -1 from baseline due to that psyop

Big Turk: 7/10
another weird candy bar. gummi covered in a thin layer of chocolate. best of both gummi and chocolate worlds but best if savored and allowed to melt in your mouth. -1 point for no fun size either, -2 points for being intolerable for months by the time you finish one

Caramilk: 8/10
caramel fill chocolate. often imitated by weird charity chocolate but rarely matched. point deductions because they won't tell me how the caramel gets in there. syringe?

Coffee Crisp: 9/10
chocolate and wafers (3 baseline), mild (+1) coffee (+1) flavor, often hated by children and left for adults to enjoy (+2). not overly sweet (+1) and available fun-sized (+1)

Crispy Crunch: 2/10
this is hard candy with a light layer of chocolate over it. cloyingly sweet, only tolerable as a fun-sized and only if you bite clean through rather than savor/let chocolate melt. sticks to your teeth real bad. besides fun-sized boost saving it from zero. it is a passable dairy queen blizzard flavor

Crunchie: 4/10
honeycomb toffee covered with chocolate. interesting melt in your mouth texture experience. gets worse as you get older but faster than most things. also can stick to your teeth real bad

Eat-More: 9/10
insane candy bar for weirdos. soft chocolate flavored toffee with chopped peanuts densely saturating it. and yet- incredibly satisfying. -1 point for no fun-sized offering

Mr. Big: 6/10
it's pretty big. i guess. it's like oh henry but with crispy rice instead of that toffee-like stuff. fairly light and less sickening than some other choco bars.

Smarties: 5/10
no one hates smarties. used to be a psyop to eat the red one last, but they are all identically flavored so who cares

Sour Patch Kids 0/10
penny candy that has invert and sour sugar coatings, ruining it

Black Licorice: 10/10. Delightfully delicious and it blocks serum testosterone.

Candy Corn: 8/10 because gently caress you that's why

Gummi Bears: the gently caress do I even have to rate them? They're good, pigfucker

Nougat: a complete hoax. Sell your lies elsewhere.

Reese's Pieces: 10/10

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups: 7/10 would be higher but it always sticks to the paper and this displeases me

Necco wafers: gently caress off

Now & Laters: how about never. In the bin.

Mounds - 8/10 - come around to these as an adult, solid
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups - 5 to 10/10 - these always get hosed up in the candy bag and like smashed in half, however, top tier snack if whole

candy - 10/10 - it can be sweet, it can be sour, hell it can even be salty. candy -- 'it tastes great!' better not eat too much of it or you'll get a stomach ache of course ;)

coffees crisp are good. bit like a kitkat but with less chocolate and a little more to the wafer flavor. less chocolate is usually a psyop but in this case it makes them more palatable when doing grown up things like editing spreadsheets, talking at the water cooler, and consuming non-crisp coffee

they are a milk and dairy company so i’m assuming they’re showcasing jersey cow milk with the name

I love the nestle crunch bar but I never see it around any more.

Reese's is always good. I saw they started putting mini-pieces in the candy bars. Need to see if that's any good.

e: Take Five is an all-time favorite too.
