I'll name my favorite type now, and fill in the rest later. It's Kit-Kat. Chocolate and wafers taste good together for me. If you go to Japan, you can find like hundreds of flavors. List of some of them here.

I'm stunned we made it this far without someone mentioning Peeps as the most overrated.

1. What is your favorite candy?
Gummi worms. Reeses Pieces. Cadbury eggs. Depends on my mood, really.

2. What is your most hated candy?
I agree with candy corn.

3. What is the most overrated candy?
I'm stunned we made it this far without someone mentioning Peeps here. They're basically just good-looking sugar.

4. What is the most underrated candy?
Mints in general. Also, not exactly a candy, but these things are delicious.

I had it on my least favorite, then someone else mentioned black licorice and I had to change it.  Black licorice is so gross it didn't even compute in my head as candy.

I don't think Peeps are overrated, simply because hardly anyone I know actually likes them.  That is, they aren't rated highly to begin with.

To me, they're one of those things that people see, and go "oh yeah! remember these!?" and buy a whole bunch, and then go home and open them up only to remember that they or anyone else don't really like them, because they're not that good.

Smarties

Smarties chill me to the bone. I've got the shivers just thinking about them. The Canadian ones are good, though.

Almond Joy

Heck yeah. I second this for being underrated.

bandit957

I don't know what my most favorite candy is, but I know the most hilarious is bubble gum.
Might as well face it, pooing is cool

'Hilarious' might be just a touch of overstatement.

1. One of my favorites, and it's tough dieting when these are now available seemingly everywhere (grocery stores, convenience stores, airports).

2. Most hated: black licorice is the easy pick, but face it...Conversation Hearts resemble chalk.

My daughter got into the fad of "Bean Boozled", and we'd play a few times. Some of the flavors are intentionally nasty and putrid.

Quote from: interstatefan990 on March 23, 2021, 03:04:46 PMTwizzlers by far. They have no taste or flavor at all
3. Agreed; strawberry Twizzlers have more aftertaste than actual flavor. They're not awful, but I'd rather have Red Vines.

4. So many good choices so far, but I think the most under-rated candy are the cola-bottle gummies (Haribo and others make them). I've rarely seen anyone else eat them, nor have I ever seen them advertised. And yet...they're still there, thankfully.

4a. Dark chocolate Kit-Kats are a recent phenomenon in America, and they're enjoyable. They're not anything gourmet, but even more enjoyable when frozen.

I have now edited my own post to include them, because they REALLY deserve to be on the 'hated' list.

One of my favorite gummies, but haven't had one in years.

2. Cow tales

What??  No!!  Cow Tales belong in the 'most underrated' category.




Also...  Am I seriously the only one here who loves licorice?

1. What is your favorite candy? Either Crunch, 3 Musketeers, or Milky Way

2. What is your most hated candy? Licorice, it tastes and feels about how I'd imagine eating rubber would be like.

3. What is the most overrated candy? Snickers. I wouldn't say it's bad, but I prefer most other chocolate bars to it.

4. What is the most underrated candy? Spree

kenarmy

Yay another Spree lover.
I think Everlasting Gobstoppers would also fit on my underrated list.
Just a reminder that US 6, 49, 50, and 98 are superior to your fave routes :)
