Title: Grossest Candy
Post by: TehBorken on Aug 10 06 09:46
 [h2 style="font-family: Verdana;"]Yeeeee haw! Gross candy, from [a href="vny!://candyaddict.com/"]Candy Addict[/a]
[/h2][span style="font-family: Verdana;"]Here's the link for the "[/span][a style="font-family: Verdana;" href="vny!://candyaddict.com/blog/top-10-grossest-candies/10-9-8/"]Grossest Candies Gallery[/a][span style="font-family: Verdana;"]".[/span]

Why are these so gross? I think it's because they are white and therefore actually look like maggots - and maggots are [em]gross[/em]. Really gross. I get the willies just thinking about maggots and the rotting flesh/garbage/food they go along with. Plus, these are made of white chocolate, which is gross too.

[h2]Grossest Candy #3 - Ear Wax Candy[/h2]    
(//vny!://discoverseattle.net/image/gross_ear_wax_candy.jpg)
Yes, ear wax candy. It's a plastic ear filled with a fruity jelly-like candy that resembles ear wax. It even comes with a plastic "swab" to use to dig out the candy. I don't know why they chose to make the ears pink though - if you're going gross, you should go all out - they definitely should have made the ears flesh-colored.[/p][hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]
[h2 id="post-561"]Grossest Candy #1 - Lick Your Wounds Candy Scabs[/h2]                 
(//vny!://discoverseattle.net/image/lickwoundcandy.jpg)
I first found the [a href="vny!://candyaddict.com/blog/2006/07/20/candy-scabs/"]Candy Scabs a few weeks ago[/a] and knew I had stumbled onto a candy that is really and truly gross. They come on an adhesive bandage replica that sticks to skin and encloses a candy 'scab' for licking so you can keep some candy on you (hidden) for licking any time. These don't actually hit the market until September of 2006, but when they do finally come out, I predict they will be a huge hit with kids across the country (and parents and adults will despise their very existence). I know I will be picking up a box, even if they are [em]gross[/em].[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]

I don't know if they still make this, but there was this gum that actually tasted like soap. (it even said that on the label)  At least those 3 candies probably will taste decent.

Haha, good stuff.

On a related note, while the above selections [span style="text-decoration: underline;"]look[/span] disgusting, there is a site dedicated to reviewing candy that tastes like Satan's skidmark.

The reviews are funny as hell      :)
