Hands down absolutely nothing worse than peeps. They somehow manage to make twizzlers taste like ultra gourmet candy.
Swede here.
Some American candy, mostly bad chocolate
The cheap no name “chocolates” that taste like eating oil solids disguised as chocolate
The red gum that’s just pure cinnamon or something. Plus it’s spicy. Ew. Just ew
Probably these little lychee candy things I had years ago. No fruit flavor at all. Tasted as though someone mixed powdered blackboard chalk and sugar.
Chocolate brandy beans.
They always seem to be made with cheapest shittiest chocolate as well but that brandy liqueurs inside is revolting enough on its own thread the chocolate is usually completely forgettable
The Harry Potter bean things which has awful flavors mixed in, like puke etc.
I tried Hershey’s (American chocolate) before and it tasted absolutely disgusting. it will never ever come remotely close to Dairy Milk or Galaxy
Twizzlers.
I tried them in the US and it just felt like I was chewing on a piece of plastic.
On the other hand, unlike most of the people in the comments, I love licorice.
Twizzlers feel like some shitty capitalist found a way to turn some industrial waste byproduct edible enough to feed to kids
Yeah, what’s up with twizzlers? They look okay, I’ve read that they should taste really nice and… well, it’s chewable plastic with zero taste
Delicious, delicious carnauba wax…
I haven’t actually tried this but my friend did.
The disgusting Harry Potter every flavour beans. They had jelly belly jelly beans that tasted like dirt, grass, booger, vomit, ear wax, and others I can’t remember.
I’ve only tried one, blind, it was worms. Never again. That was over twenty years ago and I still gag just thinking about it.
Maryjanes? (Very old yucky candy, not cannabis related)
Licorice. Anise flavored candy. It’s disgusting.
Hersheys “chocolate”. I spit it out, and a bit embarrassed, asked “could it gone bad during the flight?”
Well, obviously this stuff does taste like vomit, and Americans seem to be OK with that. Explains a lot about American behavior. If chocolate here would taste like that, we probably would have more mass shootings, too.
Hersheys used to be our only choice. However now that we have better choices, many of us are waking up to chocolate as a good thing (other than the sugar rush). It can be hard to get over the price and quantity difference though.
Luckily, we are spoiled for choice here. German, Swiss, Belgian, English chocolate all around. And no Hersheys anywhere.
I’m allergic the something they put in mass produced milk chocolate over here I think. Idk what it is, I’ve no allergies I know of. But if I have a Hershey Kiss, my throat burns a little after, feels painful.
This doesnt happen when I have good dark chocolate, it’s only the garbage mass produced chocolate. US chocolate wasn’t always this shitty, but it sure as fuck is now. I doubt there is much actual cocoa in it these days
I tried some matcha mochi once. It didn’t really taste good, but the worst thing about it was that it was just boring.
