American candy. Not American brand candy which different outside the US, but actuall American candy. It's all so bad quality and vile that it would never sell outside the US and not even be legal to do so in many places.
I went to America once and tried an American coke. It left this weird film in my mouth. I don't understand how they drink it.

Black licorice is just horrific. I try it every once in a while as I age thinking "Old people like this, maybe I'm old enough to like it myself, now", but no. It's still an instant headache/nausea combo at one taste. Ugh.
Only if you feel like punishing yourself for your own science.
Twizzlers black licorice vs panda brand licorice is worth trying just to compare the world of differences that black licorice can have.
Then if you really really hate yourself you can find some other salt licorice. Crazy stuff that is as much more of an acquired taste than the worst cheap black licorice like Twizzlers
If I had to choose between leather belt flavoured licorice and vomit flavoured Hershey's. Licorice wins everytime.

Maryjanes? (Very old yucky candy, not cannabis related)
One Halloween as a kid we got gummy false teeth. It looked exactly like how you think it would look. I cant actually remember how it tasted, but it want good. Second was some sugar free sour patch kid clones, they mostly tasted like soap.
Black Death. Tastes like I’d expect a chemical burn to taste.
Cella's milk chocolate covered cherries. My grams was addicted to them, so I'd bring a box when I visited. I couldn't even stand the way they smelled though lol
That reminds me of brandy beans. So gross
