Dark Chocolate, well, there's truth to both sides. Circus peanuts, well, I wouldn't know. I've never had them because everyone i know says you might as well eat STYROFOAM peanuts because they taste better and are cheaper. ;P P.S. I just discovered this site today. I LOVE it!!!!!!

Salt Water Taffy I've never been a fan. I'd eat it if you gave me a piece and I needed a bit of sugar in me, but it's nothing I'd pursue. 9. Candy Hearts Another I could take or leave. I have to be in the mood for them, and I never buy them. Give me some, I'll eat 'em, but probably not the whole box. 8. Black Licorice I don't see how anyone eats it. I'd rather bend over backwards and try to lick my own.... 7. Dark Chocolate Now we're talking. The ultimate combination of bitter and sweet. Frickin' YUM! 6. Hot Cinnamon Red Hots and Hot Tamales (fresh bag) are great. They're not overly hot. Atomic Fireballs aren't as hot as they used to be, but crap like Warheads are just insane (hot or sour ones...hate 'em). 5. Cadbury Creme Eggs I love these and I love the caramel version. A little too sweet and messy, but still very good. 4. Circus Peanuts Haven't had 'em in probably 20 years, but I liked 'em then. Probably hasn't changed. 3. Peeps Pretty good stuff, but I can't sit and eat too many. The sugary outside is overkill at times. 2. Buttered Popcorn Jelly Beans BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRF!!!!! 1. Candy Corn I like the pumpkins, but candy corn isn't as good as it used to be and I've grown tired of it. I’ll just run down the list…

10. Salt Water Taffy
I’ve never been a fan. I’d eat it if you gave me a piece and I needed a bit of sugar in me, but it’s nothing I’d pursue.

9. Candy Hearts
Another I could take or leave. I have to be in the mood for them, and I never buy them. Give me some, I’ll eat ‘em, but probably not the whole box.

8. Black Licorice
I don’t see how anyone eats it. I’d rather bend over backwards and try to lick my own….

7. Dark Chocolate
Now we’re talking. The ultimate combination of bitter and sweet. Frickin’ YUM!

6. Hot Cinnamon
Red Hots and Hot Tamales (fresh bag) are great. They’re not overly hot. Atomic Fireballs aren’t as hot as they used to be, but crap like Warheads are just insane (hot or sour ones…hate ‘em).

5. Cadbury Creme Eggs

4. Circus Peanuts
Haven’t had ‘em in probably 20 years, but I liked ‘em then. Probably hasn’t changed.

3. Peeps
Pretty good stuff, but I can’t sit and eat too many. The sugary outside is overkill at times.

2. Buttered Popcorn Jelly Beans
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRF!!!!!

1. Candy Corn
I like the pumpkins, but candy corn isn’t as good as it used to be and I’ve grown tired of it.

Haha. I don't hate any of these (though there are a few I dislike)except for the buttered popcorn jelly beans. SICK!! How can people like those?! They taste nothing likep opcorn, they are just disgusting. No Brandon don’t suggest belly-button flavored jelly beans… there are Bertie Bott’s beans out there you know! Haha.

I wonder if that too extends to people with allergies to bees. Do they have an irrational hatred of jujubes because the last part of the candy's name is phonetically bees? Or Bit-O-Honey candies? I'm glad I'm not overly allergic to anything! :) Heather Tracy, how philosophical. I wonder if that too extends to people with allergies to bees.

And, if so, would said irrational hatred extend to such nominally-related items as Circus Peanuts by way of the sad allergy crazies?

I did not think that I liked anise because of the horrible licorice that is called licorice but does not containg the real thing. Like marsmallow which is a real thing, not the sugary goo which is delicious but is not marshmallow. I only learned to enjoy anise on a trip to to the eastern Europe after having both Ouzo and Absinthe, the real thing, both flavored with anise and both do wonderful things to you after just a few sips. And btw, I was not insulting "true" cinnanom, I have not had it either, it is just what I have heard, that it is not good compared to what we know as cinnamon. But thay cinnamon oit is quite hot and will hurt you in high concentrations. I'm just sayin, it's nothing personel or anything. I don’t think there is any actual anise in black licorice.
