Top 10 Worst Halloween Candy In Minnesota, Iowa, And South Dakota
While Halloween is a time for sweet treats, not all candies are created equal across Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota.
Trick-or-treaters and parents alike have come to dread certain confections that often end up at the bottom of the candy bucket.
Check out these Top 10 Worst Halloween Candy In Minnesota, Iowa, And South Dakota:
10-Wax Bottles: More novelty than candy, the liquid inside is rarely worth the effort of biting through the waxy exterior.
9-Dots: Sticky, flavorless, and prone to pulling out fillings, these gumdrops are unpopular across the region.
8-Mary Janes: These peanut butter and molasses chews are often deemed too old-fashioned by modern trick-or-treaters.
7-Smarties: While some enjoy these tart tablets, many find them too bland and reminiscent of medicine.
6-Generic Brand Suckers: Flavorless and seemingly endless, these are the last resort for sugar-hungry kids.
5-Bit-O-Honey: Tough on the teeth and lacking in flavor, these chewy candies are often left untouched.
4-Black Licorice: A polarizing flavor that many children (and adults) in these states find off-putting.
3-Necco Wafers: These chalky discs are often compared to antacid tablets rather than candy.
2-Candy Corn: A controversial classic, many Midwesterners find these waxy triangles too sweet and texturally unappealing.
1-Circus Peanuts: These orange, peanut-shaped marshmallows are universally disliked for their odd texture and artificial banana flavor.
