Yesterday, 9-14-2023, Dollar General already had Halloween AND Christmas candy & merchandise for sale. I also saw a house lit up with Halloween decorations as well. Maybe next week they'll have Valentines for sale. 😉

I'm surprised the quiz didn't mention the old standard popcorn balls or candy corn's weird cousin the lil cream filled sugar waxy pumpkins. 🎃 Please don't put any of those in my bag when I trick-or-treat at your house! 😉🎃😄

What irritates me is the way the ads suddenly open up, just as one's about to click on an answer choice. ENOUGH WITH THE ADS ALREADY!!!
BTW, I got 10 out of 15 correct. Not bad, don't you think?

I don't know WHY so many people dislike candy corn ??
( MaryJane's ARE nasty ! )
vinman63 25 months ago
I thought Mary Jane because it',s plain nasty as worst candy.

9/15, I dressed up as Spiderman in the sixties. I thought Snickers was the most popular candy bar. And I like Candy Corn. Interesting quiz.

nitpick: both the source and the quiz spelled Spider-Man (there *is* a hyphen) wrong.

I could explain it away, but...

Not in these parts. I actually liked Necco Wafers (and just about all the products that Necco made: Sweethearts/Conversation Hearts, Skybar, Candy Buttons, Mary Janes, Clark Bar, and my favorite Canada Mints).

The most hated had to be either candy corn, circus peanuts, or wax lips.
CoreyC daDoctah 25 months ago
My God I forgot about the wax lips yuck.

I fully agree! 😝

You'll notice I made no mention of Good N Plenty, which also appears in a lot of the lists you'll find if you Google "least popular halloween candies". I happen to love licorice but I know it's one a lot of people hate.

I never liked Good N Plenty but I did like Good N Fruity a predecessor to Mike N Ike.

8/15. I'm as ambivalent about my score as I am about the so-called holiday.
