Rooting For The Underdogs

The unlikely dream the biggest.

Lewis, It's corn... that tastes like candy.

I'm Pretty sure that every holiday has it's own assigned candy from Hell.

Easter = Peeps
July 4th = Super Bubble and most other candy picked off the parade route
Halloween = Popcorn Balls
Thanksgiving = Candy Corn
Christmas = Homemade Rock Candy

And of coarse, we counter this array of terrible treats with candy made with love and excellence like Hershey's Caramel Eggs, Starburst Jellybeans, fudge, and anything and everything "fun size."

But it seems clear to me that Valentine's Day (Singles Awareness Day) got the shaft when it comes to candy. There is nothing like opening a cool valentine and reading "I Scooby Do have a crush on you," but then out comes two pieces of multicolored chalk. One says, "I heart you" and they other says, "Lookin Good." You expect me to eat that?

Valentine's Day candy hearts (no matter how witty) are just dressed up Tums. And you need those antacids of adoration to keep you from vomiting after you eat the box of Red Hots that you got. Really, Red Hots are a masochistic candy made by parents, hoping that if kids eat them that their mouths will burn so badly they won't be able to kiss their sweetheart.

So my question is...

If you could rid the world of one holiday candy, which would it be?
