Since it is National Candy Corn Day, it only make sense to bring up the candies we hate the most. On the eve of Halloween, on The Mike & Carla Morning Show,  it's all about candy We all know about the stuff we like, that will eat in a pinch, but what about the sweet stuff we hate the most?

It just so happens not everyone dislikes candy corn, however, most of us do! According to a survey with Buzzfeed, there are other candies that fall into that same category as candy corn. For Mike O'Brian it was easily in his Top 3 on the "yuck" list, as well as black licorice! Never been a fan, never will be.

Carla Rea on the other hand, Nerds, Laughy Daffy make her "yuck" list. Not too far behind on the list is Peeps as well. Carla also mentioned a few others, but it always comes down to candy corn.

It's National Candy Corn Day Today...YUCK!

Believe it or not, a few defended the bite size treat, saying that if you eat it with something salty, not bad. Really? That's what you have to do to enjoy it, eat it with something else? Sorry, not buying it and it stays on the "yuck" list!

But what's on that list of treats that we really don't care for. Smarties and even Tootsie Rolls made the list. 35% of those asked said they don't even care for Jelly Beans!

Hot Tamales, Lemonheads and Dubble Bubble made the list, but not even close to cracking the Top 10. And in the interest of transparency, the thing that started it all, that little orange and yellow triangle candy didn't even make the Top 5!

So before you head out tomorrow night to collect a bag full of sweets, make sure you check the list. If anything, you might end up with a few candies you can trade away at school. Now the segment celebrating National Candy Corn Day candy is below, but scroll down to see the Top 5 candies we dislike the most...and enjoy!

#3 DOTS

Can't believe these made the Top 5, but considering how tough they are to eat, not surprised. Dots, which is basically a gum drop, came in at #3 on the list of those candies we're not a big fan of!
