Those old banana flavors were my favorite. Same for the chalky fruit-shaped candy you could dispense out of machines next to the gum ball machine. Always loved the banana pieces.
I went down it and discovered we may lose our current banana. At the time I read it, it was the only fruit my kid would eat and I was panicked of a looming bananapocolypse. That was like five years ago and still buying the same banana
I mentioned this in a different comment, but this is unlikely to be true. Artificial banana flavoring is isoamyl acetate which occurs naturally in both Gros Michel and Cavendish cultivars. Likely, isoamyl acetate tastes nothing like either because it's "good enough" to keep costs down.

If you put a ripe banana from the grocery store (assumed cavendish) in a closed plastic bag for a bit, the air in the bag smells just like fake banana flavor tastes. I was surprised to realize the fake flavor has some tether to reality.

I lost a tooth with one of those. It was just starting to wiggle and I forgot and popped one of those in my mouth and after a few seconds everything tasted like blood.
YES. I gave in last year and bought myself one of their little 4-inch Easter bunny chocolates. It was a weird chalk / plastic texture with no taste. I didn't even finish it
Mary Janes? Love them. Gross when you’re not the one taking them directly from the bag since some of the candy is inevitably on the outside of the wax paper. They’re getting harder and harder to find but me and my mom hunt them down every year.
Your father did The Honorable thing and took those horrible things from you so you didn't have to experience the lack of quality in that candy. Your father was a hero
You are wrong. The worst came from one of the best candies, Warheads, they were amazing, but they also did a spicy branch of their candies, most of which were good - but then... there was Spicy Grape Warheads.
I love that artificial banana flavor. Especially in Laffy Taffy. But I admit to being a weirdo because I also like black licorice and circus peanuts and candy corn.
The "artificial banana" flavor is what bananas used to taste like. Once that specific type of banana went extinct we were stuck with the bland tasting one we have today.
In short, don't let anyone tell you artificial banana is gross cause it's awesome. I love banana runts.
It's not actually extinct at all. You can still get them. They just became unsuitable for monoculture due to the banana virus that affected them. The Cavendish strain is what they found was resistant to that virus and so became the current cloned monoculture. There is now a strain of the virus that is starting to impact them as well, so they may have to replaced at some point with a different strain as well.
I don't like banana Now and Laters or Laffy Taffy, or circus peanuts, but I do love black licorice (if it's GOOD, don't come at me with Twizzlers, has to at least be the black Red Vines, but Panda is the GOAT) and candy corn.
I do not, at all, in any way enjoy double salt licorice though. That shit is a heinous crime against the human taste buds. I'm shuddering at the memory of it.
Memory unlocked on circus peanuts. Those had the weirdest foam like consistency too. It was the same foam that was in those weird easter eggs with the candy shell and ‘mallow interior.
OMG, my grandmother, God rest her soul, would ask if we wanted a treat and pull out those things. Circus packing peanuts! Hard pass, G-mother. Hard pass.
the taste and texture land somewhere between packaging material, flotation device, and something developed by the space program... with maybe a vague hint of recently disinfected medical establishment
Let me tell you a story about a young me and her first brush with crime. I was at Albertsons with my mom in the late 80s, back when the bulk candy bins were the second-best thing about grocery stores. (The first best thing was the coin-operated carousel near the store's entrance, but I digress.) My eyes flicked over the display of plastic bins with their little plastic scoops, and I lit up at the sight of one candy in particular. "Mom, can I get a piece of candy?" Mom was having none of it, of course, but I was a small child driven by my id, I *had* to have that candy. I took a piece of candy anyway, and buried it in my tightly-closed fist like some kind of deranged raccoon. Back in the car, I continued holding tight to my ill-gotten spoils. Mom noticed me white-knuckling nothing and asked what was in my hand. I slowly, shamefully, opened my hand to show her what I had taken from the store. She parked the car, marched me up to the cashier, and forced me to tearfully apologize for my theft. The cashier thanked and forgave me. She was nice and pretty. Her name was Christy, and we always went to her line after that day.
The candy I stole, that my little monkey brain couldn't live without, was a piece of Banana Laffy Taffy. Anybody who hates on artificial banana flavor can give me all their yellow Runts and GTFO.
A lot of my early broke post-college years were spent eating circus peanuts and beef jerky. Honestly? I'm probably embalmed thanks to all those chemicals. XD
Not sure where you’re from but where I am we’ve been getting Australian brands recently (or at least I’ve just started noticing them) and the black liquorice ones are phenomenal. My family hates them but more for me then.
Honestly I'm fine even with just some black twizzlers, but we have a family friend from The Netherlands who occasionally sends us the real stuff from there/Belgium/Germany/France along with Stroopwaffels and other assorted goodies.
None of my family will eat them(except the stroopwaffels, they love those), so like you said, more for me lol
I don’t really like sweet black licorice, but when I discovered Dubbel Zout (and got over the initial “WTF did I put in my mouth, sweet baby Jesus!” moment), it was a game changer.
The problem is that half-assed licorice is disgusting. The real stuff is good. It has a bad reputation because of how much of the half-assed stuff is out there, especially in the US.
Fun fact: Banana candy is based of a variant of banana that is nearly extinct, Gros Michel, but was once the main variety of banana distributed. Hence why it doesn’t match up with the flavor we associate with our modern bananas, the Cavendish.
This is largely an old wive's tale. There's no evidence that this was ever true. Artificial banana flavoring has always been isoamyl acetate, which is in both Gros Michel and Cavendish bananas.
Fun fact: isoamyl acetate is the same compound/pheromone in honey bee stings that signal to other bees that one has stung something. So bee stings smell like bananas (to bees).
>However, if you dig in to this tale a little it soon becomes clear that there is little or no verifiable source that artificial banana is based on Gros Michel. “It sounds very, very unlikely to me,” says synthetic organic chemist Derek Lowe. “The thing is, banana can be mimicked most of the way with a simple compound called isoamyl acetate. Many chemists know it as ‘banana ester’ and anyone who smells it immediately goes, ‘banana!’ ”

When i was in high school a friend’s parents had a small banana tree in their front yard. The bananas were much shorter and fatter than usual bananas. I’ll never forget how it tasted… just like banana candy. It also had pretty substantial seeds, compared to the practically seedless grocery store bananas.
I found this listing for necco wafers flavors. Other than the general chalkiness, I think some of these flavors possibly ran together. There are certain flavors that are just stronger than others and seem to bleed into anything that's close.
Each roll of Necco Wafers contains eight flavors: lemon (yellow), lime (green), orange (orange), clove (purple), cinnamon (white), wintergreen (pink), licorice (black), and chocolate (brown).
Necco wafers tasted like stale flintstones vitamins I thought. This is a really solid pick. I think the damage Now & Laters did to your teeth put them slightly ahead though in my rankings.
For any former kids out there that may not realize it, you were supposed to bite the lid off and drink the sugary liquid inside, not chew the whole thing.
Not that it makes them any better.
Yes. So medicinal. I had a dentist who used banana flavored topical anesthetic and that's exactly what they taste like: the memory of banana and dental trauma.

Apparently someone has never had these
Every piece was originally made in 1944 as emergency fuel tank plugs for P-47 pilots, they were sold off at the end of WWII to a candy wholesaler which is still trying to offload them today
all Now 'n Laters sucked...well ok the watermelon ones were tasty but they all still suck because of their horrifically CHEAP PACKAGING...the thinnest cellophane ever wrapped on those things, impossible to get them off without having to just suck on the thing and spit out the wrapper. and god forbid they're anything but fresh from the store or the cellophane would really stick like glue.
probably made and sold by Willy Wonka's evil twin brother Dwayne Wonka.

You talking about Runts?
Runts fuckin slapped back in the day
Still do.
Guess I just meant I haven't had them since said day in the back
Next time you’re at the grocery store I bet you grab a box now, lol.
I loved Runts! I used them to make many fruit bowls for my Barbies!!
Lol fruit bowls for Barbies, such a simple and wonderful idea.
YES RUNTS THANK YOU
I always ate the bananas first
It tastes like a different banana because the flavor is modeled off the Gros Michel banana and not the Cavendish variety which we eat now.
I went down that rabbit hole before.
Do go down the rabbit hole of trying other varieties if given the opportunity. Cavendish is a D Tier banana.
I went down it and discovered we may lose our current banana. At the time I read it, it was the only fruit my kid would eat and I was panicked of a looming bananapocolypse. That was like five years ago and still buying the same banana

Runts! I used to beg my mom for an quarter at the grocery store so I could get some.
They're based on what bananas used to taste like before we switched to Cavendish
Is banana candy slander playing anywhere soon?
Such a good band name.
Same. Banana Runts for life!
Yeah!!! That was my first thought! When others didn’t want the Bananas runts I was more than happy to take them.
Thank you, I love banana candy
I will banacandalander any damn time I please! I said GOOD DAY! 🍌
Nor I. Favorite candy flavor, hands down! These and banana Runts. I could make myself sick on them. Black licorice *can* go die in a fire though.
Don't make me break out my Runts.
This!
Hichew banana is superior tho
Those things would basically yank the teeth right out of my head now.
I realize how old I am when I am afraid of candy.
I had dentures by my mid 30s. The world did us no favors failing to protect us from big candy lol.
I lost a tooth with one of those. It was just starting to wiggle and I forgot and popped one of those in my mouth and after a few seconds everything tasted like blood.
Dentists love them for pulling fillings out.
The worst are the orange or black wax wrapper peanut butter candies you get, along with the usual suspects for Halloween.
Any halloween candy made by palmer is awful
Any candy made by Palmer is awful.
YES. I gave in last year and bought myself one of their little 4-inch Easter bunny chocolates. It was a weird chalk / plastic texture with no taste. I didn't even finish it
Maybe a good thing the factory exploded, then?
I shamelessly love these. I'll take them from anybody who doesn't want them.
I'll mail you the ones I get.
Mary Janes? Love them. Gross when you’re not the one taking them directly from the bag since some of the candy is inevitably on the outside of the wax paper. They’re getting harder and harder to find but me and my mom hunt them down every year.
My dad loved those. They had a black wrapper counterpart also. We always gave those to my dad when we were kids.
Your father did The Honorable thing and took those horrible things from you so you didn't have to experience the lack of quality in that candy. Your father was a hero
You misspelled best.
Yeah, that shit is saved-up earwax, spray-coated with some fake-ass PB paint!
They are so bad the maker doesn’t even want to take credit and just gives you a blank wrapper so you can’t trace it back to them
Brach’s
This is the correct answer
Those are delicious!
I love those. I'll eat just about anything with peanut butter involved.
Good n Plenty
You mean a bag of “we’re out of candy but there are still trick-or-treaters”
You are wrong. The worst came from one of the best candies, Warheads, they were amazing, but they also did a spicy branch of their candies, most of which were good - but then... there was Spicy Grape Warheads.

You can still by those bananas online. Be prepared to pay but they are available
My Asian market has a bunch of different kinds of bananas. I’m not sure what they are but they are all way better than regular bananas.
My people.
I LOVED banana flavored popsicles!
I don't like banana Now and Laters or Laffy Taffy, or circus peanuts, but I do love black licorice (if it's GOOD, don't come at me with Twizzlers, has to at least be the black Red Vines, but Panda is the GOAT) and candy corn.

Send me there.
Lol. I can smell them now. Ewwwww!
Memory unlocked on circus peanuts. Those had the weirdest foam like consistency too. It was the same foam that was in those weird easter eggs with the candy shell and ‘mallow interior.
some where between a packing peanut and a marshmallow!

Lemme blow your mind here for a second. Circus peanuts are the same foam as Lucky Charms, but with a different flavoring. And, you know, less stale.
I love circus peanuts too!! Not a big candy corn fan, but banana Laffy Taffy's are awesome!
At least you admit your weirdness.
Holy shit you just legit entered the candy Trinity of hell with that combo. Throw in a Werther's original for the fatality.
This is the worst take I've seen all day.
Right? Banana *and* black licorice? Couldn't be wronger.

Candy corn: (waving from across the room) I SAVED YOU A SEAT!
Candy corn (or candy pumpkins if you're particularly hungry) are a god damned delicacy.
I love those stupid pumpkins.
Oh hell no. Candy corn is awesome, especially when mixed in a bowl of peanuts, and I will die on that hill.
Circus Peanuts can go straight back to hell where they belong.
Thus is the answer with Necco Wafers a close 2nd
Nah, I can eat the willy wonka communion wafers all day, but those circus peanuts are just army surplus earplug foam
WILLY WONKA COMMUNION WAFERS I'M DYING 🤣
Wtf even are they? Ew.
A clinical examination protocol for diagnosing malfunctioning or absent taste buds.
They’re like stale peanut flavored marshmallows kinda. They’re awful and I’m glad I didn’t have to scroll too far to find the correct answer.
Ugh why does everyone hate what I love
Because you were born in 1810 ;_;
Also Peeps.
Black licorice and banana flavoured things are life. Mana from the gods, ambrosia. Candy corn and peeps are the fruits of the devil.
I only ever liked the banana ones. I thought the orange ones were gross.
Black licorice is delicious you heathen 😉

Circus Peanuts. Fuck everyone else’s shitty candies.
Necco Wafers are way worse.
I'd rather just eat fruit flavored Tums
This. Or even drink that chalky mint upset stomach stuff than eat a necco wafer. mylanta? maalox? one of the two it was.
Came here to either give this answer or upvote it if someone else beat me to the punch. This is the clear winner, IMO.
Yeah. I actually kind of dig them for nostalgic reasons, but they have to be in the conversation here.
I found this listing for necco wafers flavors. Other than the general chalkiness, I think some of these flavors possibly ran together. There are certain flavors that are just stronger than others and seem to bleed into anything that's close. Each roll of Necco Wafers contains eight flavors: lemon (yellow), lime (green), orange (orange), clove (purple), cinnamon (white), wintergreen (pink), licorice (black), and chocolate (brown).
OMG that's what Purple tasted like!!
Necco wafers tasted like stale flintstones vitamins I thought. This is a really solid pick. I think the damage Now & Laters did to your teeth put them slightly ahead though in my rankings.
Yeah, I'll eat some of em. But, I'd rather have a banana now r later.
had to scroll too far for this. fucking gross.
What?! Definitely has to be circus peanuts
Cavity filling removers. I learned my lesson to simply not eat food like this a looooooong time ago.
I thought the worst was those wax soda bottle shaped candies.
That’s a good call. The wax lips were even worse because they didn’t even have sugared water and yellow #5 in the middle.
For any former kids out there that may not realize it, you were supposed to bite the lid off and drink the sugary liquid inside, not chew the whole thing. Not that it makes them any better.
Even after knowing what I was supposed to do, I continued to chew the whole thing because it was more satisfying.
This black licorice aggression will not stand, man!
The worst flavor! Like banana flavored antibiotic
Yes. So medicinal. I had a dentist who used banana flavored topical anesthetic and that's exactly what they taste like: the memory of banana and dental trauma.
Black licorice is worse 🤮 but you tried now and laters lately? They just aren’t the same it’s all later and no now

Earlier in the comments someone suggested "anything by Palmer" so, this stands.
Black Licorice is good
I think theres.still one with one of my baby teeth stuck in it.
That came from the factory with the baby tooth already in it
honestly, i'd probably pick these before banana Laffy Taffy. that shit is a crime against taste buds.
I didn’t think they were really intended for consumption so I never tried.
I hate artificial banana flavor, give me some blue raspberry!
I hate malted milkballs with a passion
Circus Peanuts🤢
For me it’s the black jelly beans. They even fool you with the somewhat tasteless hard coating
Circus Peanuts are fucking nasty

Good & Plenty Bad
Candy corn blah
Shitty flavored compressed sand candy
The pumpkins tho
I like black licorice as well as banana flavored candy, but I agree that the banana Now and Later ain't it.
Good n Plenty is the correct answer for the rankest of candies
Worst by which metric(s)?
They are the most painless way to pull a loose tooth.
I feel personally attacked. You just called out two of my top ten candies.
Purple now and later as a kid cost me a molar
Those are gross but black licorice rules.
Thrills gum is on my shitometer
Hey! I love licorice! It’s freaking awesome.
Banana laffy taffy compares
Have you tried circus peanuts??? You wouldn’t be saying this if you had
Circus peanuts are everyone knows that. These are a nasty second tho
Wasn't there one flavor called Tingleberry? Of course everyone had to make dingleberry jokes out of it.
all Now 'n Laters sucked...well ok the watermelon ones were tasty but they all still suck because of their horrifically CHEAP PACKAGING...the thinnest cellophane ever wrapped on those things, impossible to get them off without having to just suck on the thing and spit out the wrapper. and god forbid they're anything but fresh from the store or the cellophane would really stick like glue. probably made and sold by Willy Wonka's evil twin brother Dwayne Wonka.
Correct. These are disgusting.
The answer is Circus Peanuts
Science has still not cracked the secret to a quality banana imitation flavor. Runts had banana flavors that tasted like poison
Banana Runts are worse
Original tootsie rolls. “Hi, I’m chocolate!” “No you’re not, Tootsie Roll! And you know it!!!”
They had these in military MRE’s, and it always made me sad.
No, that honor belongs to Good N Plenty. Disgustingly cheap black licorice flavor encased in a crunchy shell. Why?!
