What edible "treat" should never have been created?

Asked by Supacase (14573points) January 22nd, 2010

What food that you would consider a treat (not something you would eat at a meal or for sustenance) do you find so disgusting that you think it should never have been made in the first place?

@Likeradar Divinity is a revoltingly sweet candy made from sugar, corn syrup and egg whites. Sometimes it is flavored – cherry is even worse. It looks like this most of the time, but my grandmother made it in a pan and cut it into squares like fudge.

I agree with boiled peanuts, those are disgusting. It’s like eating a peanut found at the bottom of a swimming pool. Who would want that?

I also find bacon gross, so I agree with @ragingloli.

I find Twinkies to be overrated. You’d think I would like them, being the twink that I am, but I just don’t. :P

@Harp: I raise you two fruitcakes. At least with Xmas pudding you get hard sauce.

My college buddies have posited that there is only one fruitcake extant and it is making its way, slowly, around the world as people pass it on.

Cinnabon®! I have to hold my breath everytime I go by one of those places. The smell physically makes me sick!

I had never heard of Baconnaise until today, but that sounds awful. :P

I saw a poster on the internet that read: Baconnaise: Heart Attack in a Jar.

This article makes me laugh out loud: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon_mania Bacon is more overrated than Twilight or…Beethoven’s 9th. :)

The nasty last minute Halloween candy that you buy at the gas station chick-o-stick (tummy not feeling good) krispy kream doughnuts and it’s waxy icing

Spam.

@shego I’m so glad I’m not alone on the Krispy Kream Doughnut thing. Even the smell of them sends me searching for a toilet to puke in.

shego's avatar

@borderline_blonde same here. They closed down the store out here where I live because they weren’t getting any business. But there is still one open that I know of, and it’s like 40 miles away.

Chocolate covered dormouse would be very high on my list.

Ok, since nobody but one of one of you thought head cheese was gross, you are all getting a free case (144 jars) of yummy head cheese. Yummy!
