Very underrated type of candy (imho).

What are your most underrated types of candy?

 

[mike32]

For me it's Bit-O-Honey. They are old school and quite delicious.

 

[iBetOnEverything]

Chunky the most underrated of All time

Saw a top ten candy bars list once, or top ten candies, or something like that. Butterfinger was not in the top 10. Butterfingers are so underrated. It takes real skill to make tasty sugary orange tree bark that gets stuck in your molars for an hour.

Cherry Clan.

And Lemon Heads.

And the sticks of gum that cam e in Garbage Pail Kid and baseball card packs.

Ha!!! Great minds Mike! Posted before I saw your reply...

* Every time I have lunch at the Eastern Market, I stop by that old-school candy store there and go nuts! Bit-o-honey always makes it to my bag...

I disagree completely. Whoever made that specific list is a moron...everyone loves Butterfingers, thus they can't be underrated.

There is also a Hershey's Cookies and Cream candy bar that when I have one once a year or something I wonder why I don't attempt to exist on those alone for the rest of my life.

Give me unlimited Krackel bars and I'll show you how you can use your body to create your own personal singularity.

 

[krafticus]

Zagnut! In my world, there is nothing better.

 

[upNdown]

I always thought the 100 grand bar was perfect. Not sure if they're even made any more.

 

[12thMan]

I ate so many of these things growing up, then I moved up to Washington and didn't have as many Mexican friends and realized nobody knew what these were. Lime flavored salt basically and a watermelon lollipop with chili powder on it... Sounds disgusting but these two things are nectar of the gods.

 

[Psypher1000]

Mmm...honey sesame candy...

WTF? Is that last pic one that was opened up fifty years ago, after having been underwater for a decade? Please tell me they don't look like that new.

 

[12thMan]

Please tell me they don't look like that new.

That picture shows mint condition.

Is Chippy the New Jack?

100 Grand
Almond Joy
Peppermint Patties
Jelly Belly jelly beans

But I fancy British candy:

Bendicks Bittermints
Crunchie bar
Lion bar
Cadburys Dairy Milk Spots

And any kind of proper black licorice.

 

[Ellasdaddy]

Plain ol', basic jelly beans. I like many gourmet and specialty types and flavors, but mostly I crave and buy bags of the good stuff 2 for $1 at the pharmacy.

Except the black ones. Especially when you mistake one for a purple. Pure evil.

 

[inca911]

Take 5 = pretzel embedded candy bar goodness: crunchy pretzels, smooth peanut butter, salty peanuts, sweet caramel and milk chocolate.

 

[detroitdad]

I ate these daily. A penny each.

 

[H|Q]

Zero Bar!

(Like my bankroll)

I've never seen the two of them in the same place at the same time........

Butterfinger one of the best. Go for the mini holiday themed bagged ones for optimal consumption rate.

Hell yeah I forgot all about these bad Larry's

No-one can replace Jack, and no one believes those made up things are real candy. Go drink some butter beer Harry.

Wrong place, this is not most over rated candy evar thread.

And how many of those people are alive today?

How convenient.....

In Guinness's defense he has trouble understanding any words other than:

1. Jam
2. POT
3. Re
4. Buy
