Hands down absolutely nothing worse than peeps. They somehow manage to make twizzlers taste like ultra gourmet candy.

Well, licorice is definitely up there.

There's some pralines that with some alcohol based filling that's also really gross.

But I still remember I was a kid and my parents bought these cheese crackers. They were awful, the it was a bit crumbly but they had this really bad taste of something I can only describe as for fungus & cream cheese. I literally had to take a break and concentrate on not barfing even though we just wanted to play tabletop games. I know it's not sweet but that stuff lives rent-free in my head to this day.

Peeps. I've never like marshmallow anything, really, and definitely not those abominations. Most cinnamon-flavored things. Edit: forgot one: chocolate-covered cherries. I don't know why. I have a cherry tree and will eat the cherries off it and don't even mind most artificially-cheery-flavored things. I also eat other fruits covered in chocolate (even durian).

The Harry Potter bean things which has awful flavors mixed in, like puke etc.

I haven't actually tried this but my friend did.

That's an easy one - Durian bonbons from China. Durian is also known as the "stink fruit". You need many hours to get that taste out of your mouth

Black licorice. Or anything containing black licorice. It’s just fucking disgusting.

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.

Turkish delights tend to be terrible. Insanely chewy and sticky, floral and just unpleasant. I also tried some sweet "goat cheese and spice lollipop" candy from mexico i didn't care for much.

Black licorice fucks though. I'll stand with the swedes on this one.

First of all, licorice is good actually, though black jelly beans are trash.

One time I bought olive flavored gummies from the Asian market because I love olives and I was curious. Absolutely horrible, didn't even finish one.

Black licorice is just horrific. I try it every once in a while as I age thinking "Old people like this, maybe I'm old enough to like it myself, now", but no. It's still an instant headache/nausea combo at one taste. Ugh.

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

American candy. Not American brand candy which different outside the US, but actuall American candy. It's all so bad quality and vile that it would never sell outside the US and not even be legal to do so in many places.
