Top 10 Grossest Candies

Grossest Candy #10 - White Chocolate Maggots

Why are these so gross? I think it's because they are white and therefore actually look like maggots - and maggots are gross. 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.

Grossest Candy #9 - Hose Nose

This is a candy dispenser that looks like a nose that you strap to your face. It oozes candy slime and they encourage you to stick out your tongue and catch the drips from the nose. Some of the slogans: “It’snot what you think”, “candy slime filled”, “drippy”, and “catch it on your tongue”. Yes, snot is gross and this candy encourages you to eat candy snot.

Grossest Candy #8 - Sour Flush Candy

The candy in this is nothing special - it's powdered candy (like Pixy Stix) and a lollipop. It's all about the presentation though. The powdered candy comes in a realistic plastic toilet and the lollipop is flat on the end so it looks like a toilet plunger. Lick the plunger then dip it into the toilet to get some candy on it. Yum! (If you don't want to order this online, check your local K-Mart - I saw this there last week).

Grossest Candy #7 - Harry Potter Cockroach Clusters

At #10, we had white chocolate maggots. Here at #7 we have cockroaches (and this isn't the last bug we'll see on the countdown). These are Harry Potter Cockroach Clusters. Each Cockroach has a juicy gummy underbelly and is covered with a crunchy candy shell that has candy cockroach wings! Each cockroach is about 2 inches in length and 1 inch wide, so they're also a great candy to use to scare your friends.

Grossest Candy #6 - Fear Factor Candy

I used to watch Fear factor all the time and the best (worst?) part was watching them try and eat those gross things. Now, you can have all the fun of the Fear Factor eating contests at home with Fear Factor Candy. There are a ton of them too. Some of the grossest:

Fear Factor Lollipops (seen above): Chicken Foot (lemon flavored), Pig’s Snout (bubblegum flavored), Sheep’s Eye (black cherry flavored), and Cow’s Heart (spicy cinnamon flavored)
Fear Factor Gummy Frog Legs: Gummy sour apple frog legs that come with crunchy candy bones and gooey red dipping sauce
Fear Factor Slimy Gummy Octopus: This super sweet slimy gummy octopus is swimming in sour ooze. The head of the octopus is lemon and the tentacles are blueberry
Fear Factor Gooey Globs: Liquid-filled gummy balls in 2 incredibly creepy designs: Sheep Eyeballs (Mango) and Coagulated Blood Balls (Cherry)
Fear Factor Cockroach Bites: Cola-flavored gummy roaches with crunchy icing shells - packed in sets of two

Grossest Candy #5 - Poop Candy

Poop is gross. Just ask anyone who has had to change a baby's diaper. Once you've done that, you'll never look at poop in the same way. Above, you see a prime example of poop candy - the Chocka-Ca-Ca diaper. The diaper comes in blue, pink, or yellow, but each one comes with a luscious chocolate "turdle" inside. Yum!

Other examples of poop candy include the pooping candy dispensers that are so popular around holidays. Moose, chickens, deer, cows, pigs, kitties, snowmen, penguins, easter bunnies, and even Santa himself can be had in pooping candy dispenser form. None of those tops the Chocka-Ca-Ca though.

Grossest Candy #4 - Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans

Anyone who wonders how these Harry Potter jellybeans could make the Top 10 Grossest Candy list has not tried these. They are disgusting. The flavors: Bacon, Black Pepper, Booger, Dirt, Earthworm, Ear Wax, Grass, Rotten Egg, Soap, and Vomit. Some of them aren't too bad, like Black Pepper. Some of them are horrible: Earthworm, Rotten Egg, Earwax, and Vomit.

Grossest Candy #3 - Ear Wax Candy

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.

Grossest Candy #2 - Candy With Real Bugs

There is an amazing amount of candy with real bugs in it. Hotlix is probably the most well-known maker of candied bugs but you can find them made by lots of companies. You can get tequila lollipops with a worm inside, Cricket Lick-Its lollipops with a real cricket inside, lollipops with a real scorpion inside (yeah, I know a scorpion isn't a bug), Ant Candy which has real ants and looks like a miniature ant farm, and of course, you can get all manner of bugs covered in chocolate. No matter what kind of candy and no matter what kind of bugs, candy with real bugs in it is gross.

Grossest Candy #1 - Lick Your Wounds Candy Scabs

I first found the Candy Scabs a few weeks ago 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. 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 gross.

It was another Pay Day and I was tired of being a Mr. Goodbar,
When I saw Miss Hershey standing behind the Powerhouse on the corner of Clark and 5th Avenue,
I whipped out my Whopper and whispered,
Hey Sweettart, how’d you like to Crunch on my Big Hunk for a Million Dollar Bar?
Well, she immediately went down on my Tootsie Roll and you know, it was like pure Almond Joy.
I couldn’t help but grab her delicious Mounds ‘cause it was easy to see that this little Twix had the Red Hots.
It was all I could do to hold back a Snicker and a Krackle as my Butterfinger went up her tight little Kit Kat,
and she started to scream Oh, Henry! Oh, Henry!
Soon she was fondling my Peter Paul and Zagnuts and I knew it wouldn’t be long
before I blew my Milk Duds clear to Mars and gave her a taste of the old Milky Way.
She asked if I was into M & M’s and I said, Hey, Chicklet, no kinky stuff.
I said, Look you little Reese Piece, don’t be a Zero,
be a Life Saver, why don’t you just take my Whatchamacallit and slip it up your Bit-O-Honey.
Oh, what a piece of Juicy Fruit she was too.
She screamed Oh, Crackerjack. You’re better than the Three Musketeers!
As I rammed my Ding Dong up her Rocky Road and into her Peanut Butter Cup.
Well, I was I was giving it to her Good ‘n Plenty,
And all of a sudden, my Starburst.
Yeah, as luck would have it, she started to grow a bit Chunky and complained of a Wrigley in her stomach.
Sure enough, nine months later, out popped a Baby Ruth.

I LOVED Fizzies!

I think they had cyclamates in them which is why they were banned. They were sweet and fizzy and although they were ok as a beverage, which is what they were meant for, they were best taken “straight!” For you youngsters out there, picture fruit flavored alka-seltzer.

They tried to reformulate fizzies without the sweetener so that you had to add sugar to the water. Just not the same. I think it became clear real fast that few kids were using them as intended.
