Can't stand corn fructose and palm sugar based snacks. Terrible everything - engironmental impact, texture, health impact, flavor. It's just the cheapest possible option that ruins everything it touches.
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).
Swede here.
Some American candy, mostly bad chocolate
I tried American chocolate once. It tasted like vomit aftertaste.
Never again.
american chocolate is just milk sugar mostly, i would like at the total cacao concentration, anything less than 70% is nasty asf, most american ones are under 40%. i heard the hersey ones they use some kind of chemical in it to make it taste the way it is. White chocolate american is the most chemically tasting and smelling of them all.
There is this brittle thing of foam everyone likes to make into weird shapes like little birds... I don't know what it is called and I don't want too
peeps marshmellows?
Hands down absolutely nothing worse than peeps. They somehow manage to make twizzlers taste like ultra gourmet candy.
The cheap no name "chocolates" that taste like eating oil solids disguised as chocolate
The Harry Potter bean things which has awful flavors mixed in, like puke etc.
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
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.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of those. I'm fine with licorice.
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...
The red gum that's just pure cinnamon or something. Plus it's spicy. Ew. Just ew
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.
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.
the good ones are pretty expensive, and most people dont buy them, they have imported bougies ones sold by WF.
Luckily, we are spoiled for choice here. German, Swiss, Belgian, English chocolate all around. And no Hersheys anywhere.
I tried some matcha mochi once. It didn't really taste good, but the worst thing about it was that it was just boring.
