Which Easter candy did you hate the most as a kid?

[Beware the Beast Man]

Poll question: Which Easter candy did you hate the most as a kid?

For me- it's neck and neck between marshallow Peeps and chocolate malted eggs. Oh, and the spicy jellybeans were bad too.
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

I'll follow up this poll with a "most anticipated" Easter candy poll.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

1. Black jelly beans

[Love Bug]

13. Me, too! I hate licorice

x(

[tigereye]

23. oh I loved black (and spicy) jellybeans

still do!

[KitchenWitch]

42. Black jelly beans by far

YUK

[Heidi]

44. Agreed.

And "YUK" is a charitable term.

[Heidi]

43. The smell of licorice (or ANYTHING with anise) . . .

just nearly makes me barf. The worst sort of child abuse is being the kid in the middle of the backseat, between a brother and a sister who love black jellybeans and licorice whips. Pee-yuke.

[Theres-a]

45. Yes,ick!

[sniffa]

2. fucking peeps!

argghh!!! i hate them so.. they're haunt me in my dreams.

[progressoid]

6. Peeps = soylent yellow. Ugg

[tigereye]

24. my neighbors and parents always give my kid

those peeps. He never eats them. To me Easter candy is about CHOCOLATE AND LITTLE ELSE.

[BigMcLargehuge]

3. when I was six, I ate so much assorted easter candy

I detailed the backseat of my dad's blue Pontiac Grand Prix. Ever since then, none. It all makes me gag.

When I was 7, my brothers and me got fishing poles and tackle instead, and since then, to me, Easter means fishing for Scup and flounder.

[ET Awful]

4. I had to go with the Cadbury Eggs . . . not because they taste bad

but because they are sweet enough to send you into a freakin' diabetic coma.

[LibDemAlways]

5. I could tolerate

a peep or two, but I always managed to end up with the stale ones. Ugh.

[wtmusic]

7. Peeps, hands down

got the gag reflex going just thinking about it

[bearfan454]

8. peeps suck

I hate them.

[LynneSin]

9. Peeps are a sign that Satan is alive and active in our world

They're disgusting - yuck!!!

[MrModerate]

10. Peeps = Vile, foamed devil sputum!

Just say NO to Peeps.

[ClintonTyree]

11. I HATED it when..................

I started chewing a red jelly bean, expecting a sweet cherry taste in my mouth, than have to spit the damned thing out because it was cinnamon or some other spicy shit. UHG! :puke:

[Burma Jones]

12. I Believe that Peeps are nothing more than recycled Candy Corn

That's gotta be it. Who the hell eats peeps and candy corn anyway? This has to be leftover from the Great Depression when any sort of candy was to be accepted gratefully.........

[Kellanved]

14. fondant eggs

Basically anything with "Fondant" in its name. :puke:

[Stop_the_War]

15. peeps are disgusting

[Left Is Write]

16. I don't remember Peeps when I was a child; I think

they came out after I was too old for Easter candy.

I don't like spicy jelly beans either, nor do I like black jelly beans. Only my brother liked black jelly beans, so all of us girls gave him the black ones.

[StopTheMorans]

17. spicy jelly beans, fuck alla y'all

:P

[Tektonik]

18. I love Reese's, but

with the eggs, the chocolate to PB ratio is way too low. I'd much rather have the miniatures or the regular cups.

[amandae]

30. I'm just the opposite

I love the peanut butter/chocolate ratio in the Reeses eggs/hearts/trees ... all the seasonal PB "cups." I like those more than the regular PB cups.

:hi:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

19. PEEPS!!

:puke:

[tigereye]

25. great Jesus sig Kathy

:thumbsup:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

26. thanks!

as a Christian I find it to be mostly true these days, unfortunately.

[tigereye]

27. yes, yes and yes

[Tektonik]

20. Man why do y'all hate peeps?

If being a progressive means hating Peeps, then I may have to get some Koolaid and join the dark side! :evilgrin:

[Heidi]

21. Were "circus peanuts" an Easter candy?

I only remember that they're the most hideous excuse for a candy under the sun: crappy taste, crappy color, crappy texture, crappy smell Licorice jellybeans are pretty gag-worthy, too.

[wtmusic]

40. LOL no but they came to mind

for me too. "Circus Peanuts" -- what were they thinking? :wtf:

[Heidi]

41. I dunno . . .

my father, who has watched his weight his whole life for fear of ending up on the Army Reserves' "fat list," always had this crap around the house. I think his theory was that if it was lightweight and fluffy, it wouldn't add much at the Army Reserves' annual "weigh in." Tooth decay, I guess, wasn't on the list of "verboten" physical infirmaties?

[Hand]

47. BWAAAAAAGGGGGHHH!!!!

Jaysus, I hadn't thought of those ghastly things in decades... the horror... the horror...

:puke:

(BTW, they may not be an Easter atrocity exclusively. I seem to remember some perv handing them out at Hallowe'en as well. I rather hope he's burning in hell for that.)

[terrya]

22. Another vote for peeps. Those foam rubber things were vile.

[aeolian]

28. CADBURY EGGS!

I swear they put opium in those things, I fiend all year long waiting for them.



Peeps are vile. Anyone wanna trade their cadbury egg for my box of peeps?

[aeolian]

29. Dammit! I can't read...

I thought it said what candy do you like the most. I like Creme eggs, I hate peeps.

Damn lysdexia. Well, I'll balance it out by fucking up any complimentary polls.

[frictionlessO]

31. Those flat sided marshmallow type eggs with hard candy shell.

They never got eaten in my house.

Chocolate malt eggs kick ass my friend, you shouldn't have gone there now we all know you're the freeper bunny!

[NorthernSpy]

33. those things were the worst! fondant eggs were the second-worst...

I used to pull off the chocolate and rinse it off under the faucet, and then discard the fondant gob. But I couldn't salvage anything from those hardshell marshmallow eggs.

Both of those things turned me off super-sugary candy permanently.

:puke:

[frictionlessO]

35. True that! The hard shell eggs were completely unsalvageable.

I would try to bite off some of the hard candy (spit it out of course) and sorta tongue out the fluff inside but it just wasn't worth it... Waste of candy space!

Fondant still gives me shivers, yeesh. What the fuck is fondant anyway? Aborted eggs whipped together with sugar, spoiled cream and gelatin?

[InvisibleTouch]

32. I never hated any Easter candy.

If it's sweet enough to rot the teeth out of my head (or so a friend of mine likes to say), it's gotta be good! :)

I even love the black jelly beans.

[giant_robot]

34. Peeps!

Marshmallow, my ass! That's some sort of space-age polymer. I'd rather eat the stuff they pack stereos in.

[Huckebein the Raven]

36. I hate Peeps

:puke:

[Wapsie B]

37. Those with the hard shell coating on the outside

colored in yellow, green, blue, or red and with a white center. Ate too much of those as a kid and well I think you can figure out the rest.

[latteromden]

38. I liked Peeps, but I HATE jellybeans besides that fancy "gourmet" stuff.

(Yeah, and by that, I mean Jelly Bellys ;))

Those chocolate malted milk egg things are horrible.

[kedrys]

39. Peeps

BUT I also can't stand peanut butter eggs...I don't need NUTHIN' in my damn chocolate!

[cmf]

46. Cadbury Creme Eggs = Barforama

I have never understood why people eat these.
