From deadly licorice to Bug candy and Bertie Botts beans, these are the 10 weirdest candies
ever made.
Number 10 - Ear Wax candy
Do you already imagine what this candy looks like or you want more description?
For every candy, isn't it obvious that the packaging is almost as important as the candy
itself, so it is kind of weird how this product got released this way.
You know what, give your kid this particular candy and you will surely be getting a “mommy
is this what real earwax tastes like” question.
The earwax candy was released with the product looking like earwax that has been scrapped
off with a cotton bud.
Strange design if you ask me, because no one would imagine kids licking earwax so why encourage
that nasty behaviour with the introduction of the product.
The appearance of the candy doesn't just look weird, but it is definitely disgusting and
gross.
Nothing might be wrong with the taste but the design is a NO-NO for so many people.
Number 9- The toe of satan's candy https://candyfunhouse.ca/products/the-toe-of-satan
So kids might have heard several scary descriptions of how the devil probably looks, but If the
name alone could tell you what to expect, this weird candy has already given you a hint
of what to expect.
Let's say we decide to forget about the scary name, like seriously, the toe of satan?
for real?
Every candy should leave you wanting more but such moments would surely be ruined when
you put the toe of satan candy on your tongue.
And what you get is a burning sensation that will make you regret it for a while.
You will be left running to the tap just to cool off your poor tongue.
The insane toe of satan candy is made from a special chilli extract that has a Scoville
heat rating of 9 million, which is 900 times hotter than a Jalapeno.
The candy is even hotter than the hottest pepper on the planet, isn't that insane?
Number 8 - Wax-O-Wax lips
Want some cosmetic makeover without visiting the hospital, wax-o-wax could help.
Talk about the real OG of candies, the Wax lips which was originally invented in the
1940s still finds a way to stay relevant even up to today.
Not only staying relevant, but it's still a staple in our parties, gatherings and all.
For newbies, Wax lips are the common name of a candy product made of coloured and flavoured
food-grade paraffin wax, moulded to resemble a pair of oversized red lips.
The lips have a bite plate in the back; and when the plate is held between the teeth,
the wax lips cover the wearer's own lips, thereby creating a comic effect.
Their popularity among children can be attributed mainly to the comedy of wearing the lips which
leaves them looking like a drag star.
Although they were intended to be used as a sort of chewing gum after the novelty of
the gag wore off, the lips were often simply discarded rather than eaten.
The candy has also been released with other designs like the bloody vampire teeth and
even horse teeth.
If you think these were weird, things are about to get weirder, keep watching to see
what’s next!
Number 7- Blood bag candy
Where do one really draw the line between being creative or gross?
With this candy, it sure is weird.
This transplant bag candy looks so much like the real thing that it would definitely leave
many people uncomfortable, It looks like it came straight out of the emergency department.
Or maybe the product designers were trying to, erm well I just don’t know?
But let's be serious, we tend to associate this sort of thing with vampires, so what
were these producers thinking here?
Wild thoughts there.
Come on, this design is just insane.
This strawberry-flavoured liquid candy comes in mini bags that are marked as a sample.
Type A and labelled delicious and sweet.
Just imagine your kid walking around with that.
It is just totally weird, so many parents reacted with horror as soon as they learned
about the candy and more would still need convincing, allowing their kids to have it.
Number 6- Band Aid Candy
Have you ever found yourself wearing a Band-Aid and wishing you could pull it off and lick
a piece of candy underneath?
Well, now you can with these delightful candy scabs.
This candy takes the idiom about licking one's wound to another level as it is made to look
like wound plaster, and it's obvious, many will find them pretty strange.
As a matter of fact, I just couldn't believe my eyes when I first came across the candy.
The plaster candy comes on an adhesive bandage replica that sticks on your skin with an enclosed
candy scab for your ultimate licking pleasure.
The part over the wound scab is a hinged area that reveals the candy when open while that
part also seems reclosable which allows you to take a few licks and save some for later.
Not many would like that design so good luck convincing your parents to get you one of
these candies.
But if you are able to jump that hurdle, what you get in your box of candy scab is five
bandages with some extras.
Number 5- Durian candy
This weird candy sure smells its way onto our list I guess, I mean when a candy is named
after one of the worst, if not the worst-smelling fruit on planet earth, you sure have to think
twice before having a bite.
The smell of durian, smells like pig poop or sweaty socks, if not worse.
So why make a candy so smelly and who would even like to eat such nasty candy.
The smell of the durian fruit is so terrible that it is banned on public transport in Singapore
while in some other countries, the Durian fruit is banned in many hotels and public
buildings due to its foul smell that could be very repulsive.
So imagine yourself tasting the never-ending flavour of the world’s stinkiest fruit,
erm I think I will pass.
Not to put you off though, you can still go ahead and have some fun eating the candy with
a disgusting smell.
Number 4- Sour flush toilet candy
You might want to ask yourself if this tiny candy is a plunger lollipop or maybe it is
just a toilet full of sugar.
Whatever the case, it's still crazy how this candy was shaped as all you have to do is
flip the toilet lid and dip in one of your flavoured lollipop plungers and, “Voila!”
Let's be real here, who actually thought it was a good idea to design a candy as a toilet
seat: gross right?
it is even made worse when you realise you have to set it off . So when you assemble
the toilet candy, it forms a mini toilet bowl and a foamy sugary candy spilling out of it.
You will add one of two included flavouring packets to the rear tank, pour in some water,
and wait.
After about ten minutes, the content will come frothing into the bowl.
When everything is good and bubbly, you simply need to whip out the included drinking straw
and start sucking down all.
The candy comes in eight different flavours all to the delight of those who care.
Starting now things get even weirder, keep watching until the end.
Number 3- Bertie Botts Beans
Fans of the world of Harry Potter will probably be familiar with Bertie Botts and her confectionary
concoctions.
So borrowing a page from the best-selling novels, this collection of jelly beans come
in such delightful flavours.
However, like we say, the taste of the pudding is in the eating, this candy is better left
alone, at least if you can't get a favourable flavour.
When you order a box of Bertie Botts Beans and you might be left shocked with whatever
flavour that comes your way.
Lucky enough and you get the Bacon flavour or the black pepper flavour.
Not so lucky and you get to eat some extreme flavours, like the dirt flavour which literally
tastes like you are eating a handful of dirt.
What about the earthworm flavour?
Maybe you would have to try that out to know how exactly earthworms taste.
The candy pack also comes in other weird flavours like earwax, grass, soap, vomit and even rotten
egg.
Don't you think it would be nice trying out all these flavours with your friends?
Maybe you could even start with the rotten egg flavour, wouldn't be that bad since you
probably already know what to expect.
Yuck
Number 2- Candy with bugs
Now imagine licking a lollipop and suddenly spotting a live scorpion in the middle of
it, OMG!
you are probably saying when you aint a carnivore.
But yup, this candy is weird in the sense that you get to eat an ant or bug when trying
out this candy.
The candy has a sugar coating on it which gives a sweet taste to it but with the real
bugs makes it fiercely full.
Eat one with a spider and you might be spinning cobwebs all around, just kidding.
The manufacturers make this sugar candy in which they embed all manner of creatures,
from ants to worms and cricket.
Imagine getting a strawberry flavoured candy with a worm in it or even a spider.
This candy also comes with other real ants or bugs.
There are other flavours that even come with a scorpion in them so imagine licking up your
candy until the scorpion tail sticks out into your mouth.
This is not a joke, trust me.
It is obvious, nobody will like to eat a candy which has horrifying looks and creates terror
with the kids rather than creating an overwhelming effect.
Number 1- Licorice
Remember what they say about too much of everything isn't good, this candy surely falls into that
category, so definitely, I might not be the only one that has rated this candy as one
of the worst candies to ever hit the shelves.
But why that is so, trust me, it has little to do with the taste.
The licorice candy is actually sweet, isn't that what kids want?
That is where the good times about this candy end though, because eating more portions than
normal could send you to the emergency room.
This is no joke because we all know kids love candies right.
So guess what we found out.
Eating too much of the licorice candy is harmful to your health as it contains some dangerous
chemicals.
But for real, this discovery actually poses more problems for some parents.
Or how do you think they will be able to convince their kids that such sweet candy isn't that
good for them.
Even placing the candy jar on top of the fridge or kitchen cabinet might not deter some kids,
trust me.
Luckily, licorice is pretty gross so it is not like any kid would eat too much of it.
Who knew that about licorice?!
Wouldn't it be better to go with something more friendly?
