    Liquorice allsorts taste like poison, they must be an acquired taste.

    Fruit gums. Hey look, we've found a perfect adhesive for teeth....great, turn it into a sweet.

    Anything minty too, like a mint cornetto or mint chocolate. I cant get the feeling like youre eating toothpaste out of my head!

    Chocolate liqueur sweets too..nah!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,731 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Oreos are disgusting.

    I hate all minty chocolate, and I really, really, hate Mars Bars. They're absolutely sickening, I don't know how anyone can eat them and not vom. :(

    I love those white Ferrero Rocher Rafaello, I could eat my own bodyweight in those and still find room for more. And Bounty bars, and those Chunky Kit Kats. I love a little Freddo with a cup of tea too. I love sweets.

    Oh, and Oreos as well - horrible stuff

    Get out.

    Do you hate Fridays as well? Or is your contempt confined to chocolatey honeycomb goodness?

    Try crunchie cheesecake. There are probably recipes online. I suggest you try it and educate yourself!!

    Wibblely wobbly wonders, Red bull and dark chocolate.

    Bounty bars are the spawn of satan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 293 ✭✭KNS


    Bounty Bars or most things with coconut.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17 Boolean


    Snickers, both content and name.

    Only the pure of heart can appreciate a Bounty bar.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,681 ✭✭✭JustTheOne


    Double decker.

    Ah yes, rightfully imprisoned along with the violent, usurers and sodomites

    well what do you think they are fed? :D

    Liquorice
    Marzipan
    Anything with raisins in it. Who thought that adding withered brown balls of evil to confectionery was a good idea?

    And for anyone dissing Bountys, you're all wrong. That is all I have to say on the matter.

    Crunchies.

    Mint Crisp.

    Loop the Loops.

    I also want to add Crunchie and Curly Wurly.
    If I'm craving chocolate, it's chocolate I want; not a bar that's 90% honeycomb covered in a stingy layer of chocolate.
    Same goes for Curly Wurly...bloody holes in it! Mean!

    Agree, agree, agree.

    Ban them all. You have the authoritah! Not to mention the good taste. ;)

    Bombay mix: like dog food you'd buy in a pound shop, and has a higher energy content than a barrel of jet fuel. Preposterously bad stuff.

    Wibbly Wobbly Wonders: who thought it would be a good idea to let a team of kids with ADHD design an ice cream? Complete cluster**** of a foodstuff.

    Clove drops: I tried these back when I was a kid and I thought I'd been caught out with sweets from a joke shop. When something tastes this foul you'd expect that it's designed to kill gastrointestinal parasites or fight an aggressive metastasis.

    Scampi Fries.........disgusting!

    Your fingers smell like you've been scrambling for change inside of a hooker's meat tuxedo.

    It's the Bombay Mix with the raisins that I can't stand.
    The shops used to sell a really nice spicy mix years ago, in a yellow packet.
    Gone now, but mighty it was.

    The thought did cross my mind.

    They do smell rank but my Jaysus they're heavenly.
    You are dead wrong my friend.
    But heeyor, what's your opinion on their cousin, Bacon Fries?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭Rubberlegs


    Marzipan is horrendous. Parma Violets taste like soap. Ferrero Rocher and Kinder Buenos are rotten, I'm not a fan of anything wafery. Galaxy chocolate isn't nice at all, tastes cheap and too sweet. That Cadburys Marvellous Creations with the banana candy pieces made me feel sick when I tried it. I don't like Pringles either.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,160 ✭✭✭Huntergonzo


    Any bar made of dark chocolate, it's NOT chocolate, it can feck and so can anyone who eats it!!!

    Yeah, I've never even seen one outside a selection box; Double Deckers and 'Picnic' bars were always the last two remaining.

    Maybe, MAYBE, if there was nothing in the press but custard creams, I'd go for a Double Decker. But tbh they mostly taste like dogshite.
