Rate These Childhood Sweets To Get An Old School Heartthrob

Candy may be marketed to children, but nobody knows candy better than grownups. After all, we have been around longer, so we have been able to try a wider selection of them. We have spent years trying all the different types, and narrowing down the ones we enjoy best. These tend to be the ones we pass on to our children, so kids really only know what we want them to know about these treats. How many adults here still indulge in some sweet treats from time to time? As long as we are brushing, there is simply nothing wrong with enjoying candy!

In this quiz, we are going to look at some of the most popular candies around. Some of these will be real old school favorites, while others will be a bit newer. All everyone has to do is select their favorites. Once we have an idea of what kind of flavors everyone enjoys, we will be able to pair them up with a handsome hollywood heartthrob! We will warn everyone that this quiz is so sweet, that taking it can lead to some old cavity flare ups. Make sure we have the floss around before sinking our teeth into this one...

Question 1

Gummy Worms

Let's kick things off with an age old debate. Worms or bears? For this question we are strictly talking worms. Some have argued that the bears are more munchable, but there is something to be said about the length of the worms. Afterall, if they are longer, that means there is more of them to munch on! Is there anyone here who still enjoys a pack of these from time to time, or are we leaving them in the past?

Question 2

3 Musketeers

A 3 Musketeers is a simple treat. While there are many candy bars out there that offer nougat inside of them, 3 Musketeers is the only bar with whipped nougat. Whipping the nougat makes it much more lightweight, meaning the bar itself is not a heavy candy to eat. Some may prefer candy with a little more to offer, but true fans of this bar know that simple is sometimes best! Who here still gets cravings for these bars? Anyone?

Question 3

Air Heads

Air Heads are an interesting candy. Not only do they offer a popular "mystery" flavor, but they have managed to create a texture that no other candy comes close to. To call these chewy, would be a bit of an understatement. This is the exact kind of candy our dentists have always warned us about. These do not only put our teeth at risk, but they can do a number on our gaws as well. Who still loves them anyway?

Question 4

Almond Joy

To get down with an Almond Joy, one really has to enjoy both almonds and coconut. While it is a chocolate bar like any other, there is really only a thin layer of actual chocolate that is surrounding the other ingredients. The major component to these is surprisingly enough coconut, and not almonds. Each bar only has 2 almonds, which sit on top on the coconut mixture that makes up the interior of this candy. Do one of these sound good to anyone?

Question 5

Baby Ruth

Here we have a jammed packed candy bar. Each of these comes loaded with peanuts, caramel, and nougat. To make their bar stand out, this company has used a chocolate-flavored nougat, instead of just the standard regular. Since these bars are so full of deliciousness, they do make for a fairly heavy snack. No way is anyone still hungry after finishing off one of these guys. Is there anyone here who will always consider Baby Ruth their favorite candy bar?

Question 6

Twizzlers

Twizzlers are a go-to candy for a lot of people. They can be found in most stores and in most movie theaters, so snacking on these is always possible. They are very similar to licorice in texture, but their flavor is stand alone. On the bag it is stated that they are strawberry flavor, but no other candy has ever done strawberry quite like Twizzlers. Is there anyone here who could easily finish off a pack of these in one sitting?

Question 7

Red Vines

It is a little difficult to talk Twizzlers, without someone automatically jumping in to defend Red Vines. These two candies have been in competition for years, and each of their fans are extremely loyal. Red Vines tend to be a bit softer in texture than Twizzlers. However, their flavor is called "Original Red". Not having an actual flavor has turned certain people off in the past, so we can see how both of these candies have a solid fan base. Who picks Red Vines?

Question 8

Butterfinger

Who loves peanut butter? This candy bar was made with the real peanut butter fans in mind. The bar consists of a crunchy peanut brittle like base, which is completely coated in a creamy milk chocolate. Other companies have used the creamy peanut butter edge in their treats, but these guys have that super special crunch going for them. Who here can get down with a Butterfinger bar, and who will pass it up for another type every single time?

Question 9

Cadbury Cream Egg

Here is a treat that we only get seasonally. These babies come around every Easter, and many of us jump on them as soon as they arrive in stores. Inside each of these chocolate eggs, is a creamy (very sweet) sugary substance. It is made to look like a running egg yolk, but we can assure everyone that it does not taste egg-like at all. Does anyone feel like it can't really be Easter, until they've taken a big bite of one of these?

Question 10

Crunch Bar

Here is the perfect example of less sometimes being more. A Crunch bar is very simple. It is solid milk chocolate, which also contains crunchy rice bits. Some may find this bar boring compared to the other candy options, but the fans of this treat know how special it truly is. Nestle just seems to have a way with chocolate. Even their simplest bars are sometimes the best snack available. Who agrees, and who thinks there are way better options out there?

Question 11

Dots

Now here is an old school Halloween favorite. While large boxes of these can be purchased, who does not recall receiving the small boxes as a Halloween treat? Dots are basically just jubjub candies, but they have a unique shape and flavor to them. These guys are known for getting stuck in teeth, so it is important to make sure we have floss available at home before diving into a box of these candies! Who here still thinks about these all the time?

Question 12

Fun Dip

Now this candy is as fun to eat as it is delicious! Each pack comes with three different powdered sugars and a solid sugar stick. The idea is to lick the stick, dip it in the sugar, then repeat. They are not hard to follow instructions, but it is easy to get carried away while eating these! Always make sure the package remains upright, or else the mess will not be fun. Who here would consider picking up a pack of Fun Dip?

Question 13

Gobstoppers

There are two kinds of Gobstoppers out there for us to enjoy. There are the rock solid ones which kind of resemble small jawbreakers, and then there are the ones with the soft interior. Either could work for this question, if anyone has a preference. Each kind comes in a variety of flavors. While these are a classic treat for sure, they are definitely one our dentists would suggest avoiding whenever possible. Who here thinks we should be listening to the dentists?

Question 14

Milky Way

Here we have a classic chocolate bar which is not too overly done, yet not too simple either. These chocolate coated bars come loaded with nougat and caramel. Leaving out the peanuts makes these bars a little less heavy. However, they are not as lightweight as the previously discussed 3 Musketeers bar. Is there anyone here who would pick one of these out of a pile of treats, or is there usually something else out there that appeals to us more?

Question 15

Hot Tamales

Hot Tamales are a treat that usually only appeal to half of the room. People who tend to opt for cinnamon gum over mint, would probably really enjoy these candies. They are wicked hot, chewy, cinnamon-flavored jubjubs. They are not for the ammature cinnamon fanatics either. These babies really pack some heat, so it is best to keep that in mind before tossing back a handful. Who here stands by these candies no matter what everyone else has to say about them?

Question 16

Jaw Breakers

These guys may look pretty, but man are they ever a project. Finishing off one of these can take up to weeks to accomplish. Some people go after them by licking, some stick the whole thing in their mouths and wait to see what happens, and others go right in for bite. Honestly, the ones who try the bite usually chip a tooth, so that method is not strongly advised. Were these a childhood favorite for anyone here, or are we still working on the ones we had as kids?

Question 17

Starbursts

Starbursts are a super popular candy option. They have been around since the early 60s, so their popularity by this point only makes sense. The pink flavored Starbursts have actually become so popular, that the brand now sells bags of just the pinks. This is not the only way the company has answered customer requests either. After people mentioned the nuisance of the wrappers, they came out with new mini unwrapped Starbursts! Who here is going out looking for a bag? (Wikipedia)

Question 18

Kit Kat

The catchy jingle that comes to mind when thinking about Kit Kats, is really only half the fun of these candies. Not only is the chocolate covered wafer delicious, but everyone would have to admit that breaking off a piece of one of these bars is actually super satisfying. When it comes down to it, we get four bars for the price of one when we choose this candy! Who here will always choose Kit kat over all of the others?

Question 19

Sour Patch Kids

We will start off by saying this: No kids are harmed in the process of making these candies. In fact, they are only called "Sour Patch Kids" because they are in the shape of strange alien children. They are chewy candies, which are covered in a super sour sugar. If we enjoy sour but not too much, it is best to go for the oranges and reds. The yellows and the greens can be quite intense if we are not used to sour candies.

Question 20

Laffy Taffy

Laffy Taffy is not just a fun name for these candies... While there is not much humorous about the candies themselves, each of them comes with a funny joke on its wrapper. If that is not enough to sell you on the treat, they are also available in a ton of flavors. These can be purchased in a standard size, but they are also offered in fun-size. These ones are another classic Halloween treat for a lot of people. What about everyone here?

Question 21

M&Ms

M&Ms are a beloved candy. The ginormous shop in the middle of Time Square would be enough to tip us off to this fact, but they are also just everywhere. There is a variety of different kinds we can buy, but for this question let's just stick with the simple chocolate option. These candies are known for melting in mouths and not in hands, although we cannot promise that some of the color won't transfer if we are walking around with a fist full of these.

Question 22

Junior Mints

Who here loves the idea of mint mixing with chocolate? Some people love the combo, while others think the two should never go together. Junior Mints are tiny bite-sized bits of mint cream, which have been coated in either milk or dark chocolate. The mint flavor is not as powerful as some other mint candies out there, but there is no denying that mint is the main flavor here. Who gets a box of these every time they go to the movies?

Question 23

Skittles

Skittles are known for their uniquely chewy texture and for their intense flavors. They are also known for their bizarre marketing strategies. The commercials for these candies seem to just get weirder as the years pass, but their slogan has always remained the same. "Taste the Rainbow". While we cannot confirm or deny that these taste like rainbows, we do know for sure there are a ton of fans out there who can't get enough of these! Who here loves them?

Question 24

Mike & Ikes

Mike and Ikes are a funny candy. They have been around for quite a while, yet they are not often mentioned on lists of top ranking candies. Their sales have remained consistent throughout the years, but they certainly tend to fly under the radar. Many have guessed at what the name might mean, but the company has never come forward to confirm any of the rumors. Who here holds a special place in their hearts for these tiny candie? (WIkipedia)

Question 25

Sweet Tarts

People usually go either way on Sweet Tarts. Either they love them, or they can't stand them. They are not the sweetest treats on the market, and their unique tartness has turned people away in the past. However, those who love a good tart bite from time to time, would certainly choose these over a super sweet treat like Starbursts. Are these powerful little candies anyone's favorite, or do we find them too chalky overall? Let us know your take!

Question 26

Reese's Pieces

There is no denying that the Reese company has done well for themselves. We will get to the peanut butter cups in a moment, but for now let's look at Reese's Pieces. These are a bite-sized snack that come in three colors. However, all three of these colors taste the exact same. Some people assume that there is chocolate involved in them, but there actually is not. They are simply bits of candy coated peanut butter. Do we have any takers?

Question 27

Nerds

Here we have the smallest candy option on our list hands down. Nerds are very tiny in size, but they pack a punch of flavor. Usually the boxes are sold with two flavors inside. Normally the two selected flavors don't seem like two that would compliment each other, but they somehow always do. The trick with these candies is opening the box right on the first try. If we don't, we will never be able to get the candy out.

Question 28

Oh Henry

Now here is a heavy weight chocolate bar champion! These bars are large in size, and they are also full of tasty stuff! Inside each of them there are peanuts, nougat, caramel, and of course a bunch of chocolate. Instead of just having a few peanuts sprinkled inside, this bar has them surrounding the entire treat. This is definitely one to pick up if we are feeling especially hungry one day. Is this a favorite chocolate for anyone here, or are there better options available?

Question 29

Sugar Babies

Now these may just be the oldest candy on our list today. These babies were originally invented back in the year 1935. They are milk caramel treats, which are fairly easy to chew compared to some other forms of caramel. These guys can be easily recognized in stores by their old school packaging. It has been quite a while since the brand updated the bag, so we can always be sure of what colors to look out for! Do these bring back memories for anyone? (Wikipedia)

Question 30

Pez

Pez is fun for a number of reasons. The action of getting one out of the dispenser, the different kinds of flavors available, and of course, the dispensers themselves. Yes, it seems that most of the time these are purchased more for the plastic dispenser than for the actual candies. Many actually own impressive collections of these little guys. Almost every beloved character ever made up is available in pez dispenser form for us! Now the trouble becomes picking which one to buy...

Question 31

Raisinets

This one is sure to start some arguments. Raisinets are a popular movie snack. They can be found for sale at just about every movie concession stand out there. However, many refuse to consider raisins a treat. Sure they can technically be called a fruit, but honestly they come covered in chocolate, so how healthy can they really be? Everyone is allowed to vote the way they want to though! So let us know which side of the argument you fall on.

Question 32

Whoppers

Whoppers not only have a classic taste, but their box has been around for so long, that the look of it has become a classic as well. Whoppers are the only ones offering the malted milk balls. While other competing companies have tried to make the malted milk work for them, nobody has ever managed to even come close to Whoppers. It is safe to say their brand will be around for a while. What is everyones opinion on this classic treat?

Question 33

Riesen

Riesen is a simple treat. Really they are just gobs of caramel surrounded by a thick layer of chocolate, but there is something about them that is just so mouth watering. To say they are chewy, would not be the best description. These things go beyond chewy. Finishing a bag would be a lot of work, simply because finishing one is a tough job. However, we believe anyone who is dedicated enough could do it! What is everyones thoughts on these caramels?

Question 34

Rolo

Rolo is a bit different than all of the other chocolates we have looked at so far. Instead of being in bar form, these little guys are individual. However, they come stacked on top of each other, so their packaging allows them to fit in right next to all of the bars. They are milk chocolate drops, which are filled with a very creamy caramel. Are these an old school favorite of anyone's, or are they an easy one for us to pass up?

Question 35

Snickers

Who hasn't seen the hilarious Snickers commercials? They are always the same. An angry party goer stands out in the crowd, because they look like some sort of beast or monster. They are annoying everyone at the party, until of course their friend passes them a Snickers. After eating the bar, the monster is transformed into a regular old joe. The meaning? Sometimes our hunger gets the best of us, but a Snickers will always help! Who here loves these bars?

Question 36

Werther's Originals

We are not sure if younger people actually enjoy these, or if they just eat them because their grandparents have given them out. They are a hard caramel candy that tastes as good as any other, but for one reason or another the older generation has really latched onto them. These days they can be found in a chewy version as well, but in this question we are only talking originals. Who here loves finding a bowl of these at grandma's house?

Question 37

Toblerone

Toblerone has a reputation for being a fancy chocolate bar. There isn't really a reason for this, except for the fact that it is larger than most bars, so the price is usually a bit higher. The best part about this bar, is the hilarious way people wrap them when giving them as a gift. Just one look at the package, and everyone in the world would be able to guess what the gift is. Who here loves receiving these around the holidays?

Question 38

Twix

Twix is a very unique bar. They pride themselves on the fact that they are the only bar which offers a cookie crunch. While others push the nougat and the peanuts, Twix is the only ones who has managed to include some cookie in their treat. Each one comes with a layer of cookie, a layer of caramel, and whole lot of chocolate. We actually get two in every pack, so there's that as a benefit as well! Any takers?

Question 39

Pop Rocks

Pop Rocks are definitely more for the effect than for the taste. While they do come in a variety of flavors, that is not really the point behind this treat. Dumping a pack of these into our mouths, will instantly lead to an eruption. The candy pops and sizzles, and it can be heard as well as felt. A lot of bakers have taken to adding Pop Rocks into dessert, to add a little extra surprise! Who here remembers tossing back a pack or two of these?

Question 40

Wunderbar

We have seen a bunch of chocolate involving either peanuts or peanut butter, but here is one with a twist! Wunderbar did not choose peanut butter over everything else. Inside of their bars, we can find peanut butter as well as caramel! Of course both of these things are also surrounded by a layer of chocolate, but that is to be expected. Is the Wunderbar a favorite of anyone's, or are there other more appealing options out there? Let us know!

Question 41

York Peppermint Patty

Unlike the Junior Mints we have previously looked at, York Peppermint Patties have a very powerful mint taste. They are the same concept as the Junior Mints. Available in both dark and milk chocolate, with a center consisting of a peppermint cream. These are larger than the Junior Mints however, and they are not as common for a movie snack. Who here still jumps at the chance to eat one of these treats? Is there anyone here who simply cannot stand them?

Question 42

Skor

Skor is a tough one on the teeth. They are very thin bars, but the inside is made up of a very tough brittle-like substance. They are known for getting caught in teeth, so watch out for that when eating! Fun Fact about these bars... The word "Skor" is actually swedish for brittle. The crown logo seen on the packaging mimics the Swedish national emblem of Tre Kronor. How is that for a little tidbit! Who here loves these bars no matter what? (Wikipedia)

Question 43

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup

And now we finally have the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. These are often found at the top of lists ranking the most popular candies. These cups are an interesting mix up of chocolate and peanut butter. Their marketing strategy usually hints at the fact that no matter how hard we may try at home, we will never be able to quite match the taste of their peanut butter/chocolate combo. Are these anyone's favorite, or are they an easy pass for everyone?

Question 44

Milk Duds

Like Whoppers, the Milk Dud box is very reminiscent of past days. The company has not changed up the look in quite some time, so they can always be spotted on the snack shelf. They are basically just thick chunks of caramel, which have been surrounded by milk chocolate. Of all the chewy treats we have looked at today, these may just be the chewiest. Who here has always loved these little guys, and who has always passed them up?

Question 45

Swedish Fish

For our last question, let's look at Swedish Fish. These are a classic candy. Tender, yet still a bit chewy. They can be purchased in just the original red flavor, but a variety pack is also offered at most stores. These fish appeal to a large group, because of how simple they really are. Is there anyone here who simply can never have enough Swedish Fish, or are these any easy one to pass up when passing them at the grocery store?
