11 types of candy out of 100 that I haven't tried...
So I tried 89.

[Art_from_Ark]

30. Circus peanuts

When I was in junior high band, I think the band director really didn't like me for some reason. Just before Halloween, everyone in band was enlisted to sell "band candy" in various neighborhoods in my town. While some groups were given the popular stuff to sell (fresh Hershey's Miniatures), my group (which was assembled by the band director) was stuck with trying to hawk circus peanuts-- along with candy corn-- that had been left over *from the year before*.

Anyway, that night, at the first house our group went to, the man at the door asked us if we ourselves would like to receive such "treats" for Halloween. I piped up and said, "I tried some of the circus peanuts, and they tasted like crap".

[NCarolinawoman]

36. Now that is funny!

When I was a child, my three brother and I hated candy corn. We were always kind of astonished when occasionally we met another kid outside of our family who actually liked the stuff.

[LoveMyCali]

39. Phew, I feel better now

I thought it meant I've eaten waaaay too much candy when I counted 88 that I've tried.

[Xyzse]

48. Heck, I am hunting down the 11 I still haven't tried.

Even the Big Hunk...
Which my female best friend says is long, better when it is kinda soft but still hard, has nuts and has a slightly salty tinge.

A few more blasts from my past

Clove and Beeman's Gum, Atlantic City Salt Water Taffy, Walnettos, Maple Sugar Candy, Necco Waffers, Sour Balls

Why isn't cotton candy on that list?

PS: I found this while looking up Big Hunk candy on Google Images

[OriginalGeek]

14. I will paste the list and delete the ones I've had:

3. Abba-Zabba
8. Big Hunk
11. Blackjack Gum (Didn;t even want to try it - sounds gross still)
23. Charms
24. Chick-o-Stick (yuck - hated even looking at them in the candy aisle)
26. Chuckles
27. Cinnamon Bears
29. Cow Tales
30. Crybabies
51. Mamba

(Zotz was my go to candy in second grade after school - we went to day care and there was a convenience store next door and the teachers would take us a small group at a time and my dad would always give me a quarter to get candy - that quarter bought a lot of Zotz back in the day)

[CBGLuthier]

15. Most of them at one time or another. I sure do miss marathon bars.

That lovely lattice of caramel covered with chocolate. i think a dark chocolate version would just kill.

[gvstn]

23. Me too!

[marzipanni]

49. Some say Cadbury Curly Wurly is a good substitute

Cadbury does make dark chocolate, I wonder if they have dark chocolate Curly Wurlys in G.B..

This is about Marathon and Curly Wurly-

***Amazon has 6 for $6.86, shipped from England, no shipping charge.

[NV Whino]

19. 58

[Tom Ripley]

20. All of them except for Bubble Tape, Whistle Pop, and Pocky

[MissV]

21. All of them

I worked at a candy store.

[haele]

22. Only missed two on that list -

Gum Cigars
Mambas

You missed "Hi-Chews" on your list - currently the kidlet's favorite, and those little Mexican Hershey Henry V (sort of a hershey's kiss in a small bar) that are common here in the SW.
As well as Flake, Violet Crumble, and Zero bars. My mom still loves Zeros.

I'm old - so lots of those candies and novelty items were common when I was around, and we had some eclectic trick-or-treat candy dispensers in the various neighborhoods I grew up in. I also spent some time in both Mexico and Canada when I was growing up, and love to hit the "World import" stores (Pier One/World Cost Plus)so I got a lot of different "supermarket check-out" candies to taste over the years whenever I had a hankering for sweets.

24. This has nothing to do with your thread

But I have resolved that my username for the next website I register an identity for will be "Yortsaid SnackleBooper". Just thought I'd let you know. )

[yortsed snacilbuper]

42. I'm honored,

I hope it brings you luck in your web adventures!

[marzipanni]

26. I'm looking for those super-smooth sugarless fruit-flavored discs

about 1/2 " across, flat on the bottom w/ slightly rounded top edge, kind of powdery looking surface.
They are sweetened with sorbitol or mannitol, not splenda, aspartame, or saccharin.
I did find the company that makes them, Eda's Sugar Free Hard Candy, but ground shipping from Pennsylvania to California costs $10.00+ for a $6.50 lb. of candy! The online store in California only sells 5 lb. bags.

I called the company and their guy said Marshall's and TJ Maxx should have it now (their food inventories seem sketchy) or the Christmas Tree Shop (not around here).
I want to get some for me and some for my friend and her 97 year old dad.

[zen_bohemian]

27. I was a candy conosseur as a child, so I will list what I have NOT tried

abba zabba
black cow
blackjack gum (I hate liquorish except for red twizzlers)
cow tails
crybabies
good and plenty (again, i hate licorice)
pocky
zagnut

My top 3 favorites on the whole list are 1. Jolly Rancher (fire stix, grape stix) 2. Almond Joys 3. Jelly Belly Beans (cotton candy, roasted marshmallow and dr pepper)

the grossest on the list, besides the licorice, is definitely circus peanuts aaaacckk!!!!!

29. Love candy? Join the fight to label GMOs in candy.

Multinational food companies have demonstrated responsiveness to CONSUMER DEMAND for nonGMO products, as demonstrated below.

Hershey's brings non-GMO confections to Europe, but not to US

Friday, December 24, 2010
By Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) The Hershey Company is expanding its confectionery market to Europe. And the company plans to reformulate its Europe-destined products to be free of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) in order to meet demand and to comply with the non-GMO requirements of Asda, the U.K. subsidiary of Wal-Mart that will be Hershey's exclusive retailer in the U.K. However, Hershey's has no intentions of changing any of its U.S. formulas, all of which are tainted with GM ingredients, say reports.

According to an email obtained by GMWatch, an independent watchdog group fighting pro-GMO propaganda, Hershey's agreed to reformulate 21 varieties of its chocolate products, including Reese's brand chocolates, to meet Asda's requirements. And a report in Confectionery News confirms this as well, noting that the reformulations are strictly for the European market and not for the U.S. market.

"The key ingredients which have been re-formulated from non-GM sources include changing the sugar source from beet to cane sugar and using IP (Identity Preservation) soy lecithin," explained Julian Walker-Palin, Head of Corporate Sustainability at Asda, in an email to Peter Melchett, head of the U.K. Soil Association. "In addition to this the transportation and storage have been confirmed also as GM-free or cleaned before use with these products."

According to reports, Asda does not carry any products that contain GM ingredients, so Hershey's had to agree to work with the company to create appropriate new formulas.

In the past, many large U.S. food producers have argued that reformulating their products to exclude GMOs is not cost effective. But why it was worthwhile for Hershey's to change its product formulas for the European market, but not for the U.S. market, so far remains a question without an answer.

[revolution breeze]

31. What is Abba-Zabba?

Everything else on the list I have tried. Going to google this one.

[revolution breeze]

32. Wow, I have tried these

Just did'nt remember what they were called!

[link:http://www.oldtimecandy.com/abba-zaba.htm|

[Iggo]

33. It's what bite into to get rid of a loose tooth (n/t).

[petronius]

34. Candy, candy, candy I can't let you go

Off topic, but the first thing I thought of:

And after reading your list, I'm kinda jonesin' for a chic-o-stick...

[PassingFair]

35. What? No REGAL CROWN SOURS?

I am salivating just THINKING about these delicious sour candies.
My allowance was usually spent on the cherry, grape or mixed varieties.

[murielm99]

37. 83, I think.

I am a boomer, and I used to trick-or-treat in a subdivision. Many of those candies turned up in my Halloween bag.

[vanlassie]

38. Anna Zabba and Big Hunk and Black Cow

Are all great. Maybe not distributed everywhere?

[Kali]

40. 96 and I don't even have a sweet tooth

then again I am old, here are the ones I have never tried (or heard of)

22. Charleston Chew
26. Chuckles
62. Now and Later
75. Sixlets

[AmyDeLune]

41. 94

I like candy.

[AnneD]

43. 97.....

When I saw the list, I figured it would be easier to count what I had not had. Seems I was right. I think some of those must have been regional in distribution. In my defense, we did travel with Dad's line of work.

I will spend the rest of the day wondering what I missed. Abba Dabba, Cow Tales and Zotz. They forgot goo goo clusters,millionaires and turtles....but maybe those were high end candies or very regional

[AsahinaKimi]

44. 57 out of a 100.

My favorite is Heath Bars.

[annonymous]

45. Here are the ones I have not had

Abba-Zabba, Big Hunk, Candy Buttons, Chick-O-Stick, Mamba, Marathon Bar, Oompas, Pocky, Runts, Sixlets, Spree, and Zotz. I suspect some of these were regional candy brands or were no longer made when I was growing up in the 70's.

[LiberalEsto]

46. 49 - but you left out Mary Janes and licorice whips

Also wax mustaches and wax fingernails. Very popular back in the early 1960s.
Doublemint Gum and Teaberry Gum.

[Bertha Venation]

47. Zotz! I loved those things!

I wonder if they're still available somewhere.

My favorites on this list:

SweeTarts
Mounds
Milky Way
Lemon Heads (before they changed them)
Jolly Rancher cinnamon (which I haven't been able to find for 30 years)
Heath
Candy Corn
100 Grand

And I loved Bottle Caps when I was a kid.

[TwilightGardener]

50. Absolutely everything except Oompas and Pocky. I have never heard of Pocky.

Oops, wait--haven't tried Abba Zabba.

[Blue_Tires]

51. just scanning the list, I'll say 80+

[Doc_Technical]

52. Only 43.

Some of them I've never heard of, and ten of them
I only tried once.

[mrmpa]

53. 81...........God I had to reach for.....

my insulin just reading that list.

[geardaddy]

54. I've probably had 80+ of those.

But where the French Burnt Peanuts, Salted Nut Roll, Pearson's Nut Goodie, and Chunky bars?




Not to mention Bub's Daddy bubble gum?

[benld74]

55. All of them, but YOU need to answer the link below!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1018&pid=182804

[antiquie]

56. Abba-Zaba was my favorite

but we were only allowed candy once in a while.

http://annabelle-candy.com/blog/tag/abba-zaba/

[YankeyMCC]

57. 68

[Pat Riot]

58. 92!

The chick o stick scares me.

[Broken_Hero]

That was always my favorite.

[sakabatou]

61. 77 out of 100

[beknighted]

62. 91

[Shampoobra]

63. 88

It's disturbing to me that I can immediately identify so many of these. I hadn't realized I was such an expert

[WillParkinson]

64. I haven't tried Skittles, but...

I hear she's gooooooood.

[begin_within]

65. Zotz are great.

[Graybeard]

66. Liquorice is my latest fave.

Specifically Darrell Lea Soft Eating Liquorice (Original).

It's made in Australia and is soooo good.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

67. Candy Corn Oreos of the Day!

Available exclusively in Target stores September 10!
