Yeah. Not in my stomach or anything but in my soul.

Backup Mt. Trashmore: Twizzlers, Laffy Taffy, Circus Peanuts, and Necco wafers (sorry Massachusetts, I know they are local, but they taste like chalk dust)

No apology needed.
I'm a Boston native and Necco wafers suck almost as bad as candy corn.
They are an embarrassment to the entire state. I disowned them many years ago.
I'm pretty sure it was a New Jersey guy who invented them.

If Circus Peanuts are those foam rubber fake peanuts that are always stale as all get-out then they should be #1 on the Trashmore heap.

They would be higher but they have all but disappeared, since it was firmly established that they suck a very long time ago.

I used to like Sweet tarts. they have all but disappeared too.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

I forgot about these, but definitely in the trashmore category

Sorry my man, Butterfinger is Eli Manning, and Reese's Cups are the TB12 of candy.

Butterfinger isn't Eli-Eli-Oh S!%t, more like Jimmy G.

Circus peanuts are at the check out at the local Hannaford.
Sweet Tarts are definitely available all over up here in NH.

That is accurate. Designed to replace TB12 but not even remotely as good.

Give me and my Goonies-loving-ass a Baby Ruth. Love those.

I may owe an apology to Payday bars. Definitely at least backup Rushmore, and perhaps tops among non-chocolate-containing bars.

When I was a kid my favorite candy was something called a Clark bar. Kind of a better version of Butterfinger, to my recollection. I think you only find those in the gift shop at Cracker Barrel these days.

+: York's, kit kat, Hershey's dark chocolate, 5th avenue (tho have not seen those around in a while), Reese's peanut butter cups

-: tootsie rolls, full size Hershey bars ( melt too easy), anything Carmel

 

[JackBauer]

The Tom Brady of candy bars.

I used to think that too until they changed the recipe and made it much much worse (in my opinion, anyway).

I would submit Spice Drops and anything black liquorice or black liquorice-adjacent for a spot on Mt. Trashmore.

Give me and my Goonies-loving-ass a Baby Ruth. Love those.

Lol. Loved them as a kid but they felt like offbrand Snickers.

 

[mike_usagisan]

When my kids come back from trick or treating with leftover Christmas candy from last year (or longer), that's Mt. Trashmore.

Jelly Beans are awesome ... Black Licorice FTW!

Mount Rushmore and this is the correct one y'all don't know about this smoke

Snickers
Almond Joy's
Reeses Cups
Peanut M & Ms

Mic Drop peace out

 

[mike_usagisan]

I will take everyone's peanut M&Ms and raise you peanut butter M&Ms. Those are the only thing that go faster than Reese's cups in my house.

Even in this thread I keep waiting for one of the usual suspects to interject that “Mac Sucks” and should be drawn and quartered for the high crime of not making me happy or some other overwrought ranting.
