When you’re weary, feeling small, or indeed at any time at all, confectionery is a good thing, right? Wrong. Or, more precisely, it depends. It can’t be good when it’s bad. So I’d like to dedicate this post to Bad Candy – you know the stuff, people act like it’s meant to be nice. But it’s not.
I’ve put together a little gallery of the Least Wanted, which ranges from the humdrum to the profane. Let me know if I’ve missed any out.
-
- Coconut: Never a good thing.
-
- Don’t know what this is, but I know I don’t like it.
-
- As above. No thank-you.
-
- Think it’s got bits in. Another one to avoid.
-
- Heard a rumour once this was peanutty. Pass me the barge-pole.
-
- The Cream Bar, this is not. Doesn’t go with chocolate, shouldn’t be allowed.
-
- Why did they have to mess with it? Haven’t touched it since.
-
- Don’t like walnuts, don’t like whips. How could this be good?
-
- Not for girls? Thank Christ for that. Keep your inferior chocolate recipe to yourselves!
-
- A place-holder this is, for all things licorice. Avoid like plague.
-
- Another place-holder. If it says Haribo, it’s got to go. Yuk and minging.
-
- Not good. Quite unnecssary. Just goes to show, you can’t polish a turd, eh?
-
- Truffles. Any truffles. No matter how you dress them up, no matter how pretty the box. Still truffles.
-
- Not my best. Not worth the extortionate price-tag either.
-
- 2% of these might be edible. Just. Thanks anyway.
-
- No thank-you Mister Ambassador!
-
- Lovely happy box. Same isn’t true of the contents, sadly.
