Head to Head! Circus Peanuts VS. Black Licorice!

Today's Head to Head pits two infamous yucky candies against each other. I consider both Circus Peanuts and Black Licorice to be "Old Man Candy". Black licorice was embraced as a sweet back in the olden days before good tasting food was invented, and it can also be bad for you if you eat too much of it! Circus Peanuts are a throw-back penny candy. Being neither nougat nor marshmallow, they are more of a concoction than a confection. Getting either of these makes children cry or go on a toilet papering rampage.

I know it's hard to choose, but you must! Which do you hate more?

Don't miss all the good treats on Saturday night!
