2007's Most Disgusting Halloween Candy

That time of year is approaching once again. The temperature has cooled. The hint of fall is upon us. And before you know it, Halloween will be rolling around. Despite a few negative connotations, Halloween still remains to be one of the most popular holidays in American culture. Once deemed a time for children to exercise their wildest make-believe fantasies, the holiday is now just as inviting to adults as it is to kids. One of the greatest benefits of the annual celebration is the focus on all treats, sweet. Though the act of trick-or-treating has taken a turn over the years (due to security/ safety measures) the love of great Halloween treats has not died, nor has the love of pulling a fast one over on unsuspecting holiday revelers. If you're planning on handing out Halloween candy this year, or if you're mapping out the ultimate bash, here are some sure-fire treats to disgust and repulse even those with the toughest stomachs. Enjoy!

The Fish Lollipop- This sweet treat costs about $1.00 per lollipop; the beauty of the candy is that it starts off tasting really good, like any other treat---but then leaves the sucker (pun intended) with a horrible fishy flavor. Great for the practical jokester.

"Buggy" Suckers - Those who are into the delicacies of life will appreciate the candy that keeps on giving. The "Cricket Lick-Its" lollipops are candy with REAL crickets on the inside. And you need not fret about the calories in these little confections, because they are sugar free! They're sold in mint, grape, cinnamon, or orange flavors; you can even get toffee w/ scorpions or butterflies!

Chewed Chewing Gum - Yes, this sounds incredibly disgusting-the thought of chewing gum that has already been processed by another's molars. But ABC Gum (Already Been Chewed Gum) has developed just that---almost. This gum is manufactured in a resealable package containing 8 little pieces of gum that appear to have already been chewed, but in actuality has fake "teeth" marks to simulate the chewed effect.

Human Dog Food- Yep! That's right. For just $2.50 you can have yourself your very own dog food---for humans that is. Amazingly, this "candy" (which actually consists of cookie "kibbles") comes in a small doggie bowl. And the stuff really, really looks like dog food. For added Halloween glee, manufacturers have even included a little doggie "bone" made out of candy.

The Hose Nose - This candy contraption is a tad more complicated than other candies. But for under $3, you can purchase a fake nose which adheres to one's head with straps; the nose is filled with candy "snot" which drips down onto the wearer's awaiting open mouth. Online reviewers have said that the "snotty" candy slime actually tastes pretty good!

Cockroach Bites - Before you squash this little bugger with your shoe, pick it up and taste it. You might find that it's a rather tasty. These Cola flavored candies have a wonderful outer crunch, which will really make you feel like you're eating cockroach wings.

Lick Your Wounds- Now, you really can lick your wounds with this incredibly disgusting collection of edible scabs. This 12 count collection of "bandages" consists of plastic band-aids. Lift the "padded" compartment in the middle, and a juicy surprise awaits---a candy "scab". Sure, it's gross. But what better way to freak out the tricksters this Halloween.

Bertie Bott's Jelly Beans- If you like the gourmet confections known as Jelly Bellies, perhaps this interesting candy will strike your fancy. These little candies house some rather repulsive flavors like, Black Pepper, Rotten Egg, Ear Wax, and even (gasp)-Booger. These jelly beans may look festive. But don't let the pretty colors fool you!

Bacon Mints - Do you have a craving for both pork and fresh breath? Then Uncle Oinker's Bacon Mints are just the candy for you. Each little Altoid-looking mint tastes like bacon, with just a touch of mint flavor. One little tin holds about 100 mints.

Barf Bags- Pushing the envelope of poor taste (pun intended) are Barf Bags. These compact packages come in a dozen; and each packet is filled with an orange-flavored gummy type candy. The gummy candy is designed to appear like an unfortunately spilled pool of vomit. Mmmm mmm, good!
