They stick so bad to the paper, as a kid I would eat them with still some paper that I couldn't peel off. 
I was at Walmart today sugar addicts were buying many cases of the halloweens treats discounted.
Kerr's Molasses Kisses have ruthlessly exploited an economic loophole in Halloween
It was six years ago that the National Post first posted our excoriation of Kerrās Molasses Kisses, a candy that has spent generations as the bane of every Canadian childās trick-or-treating haul. And yet, their tasteless reign continues. Watch the Everything Should Be Better video or read the transcript below to learn why earthy taffy is still considered an acceptable treat to give to costumed children.
Itās that time of year again when I don one of the worldās only Halloween costumes that actually goes quite well with binge drinking. But this year, just like every Halloween since at least the 1960s, thousands of Canadian trick-or-treaters will be cursed to come home and find a handful of these at the bottom of their candy bag.

The entire holiday of Halloween falls into the second category. Here, the main drawback is that the buyer isnāt concerned about the quality of their purchase, but is very carefyl about the cost.
A bag of 47 Kerrās Molasses Kisses is a rock-bottom $2.50 (somewhat higher now what with inflation).
With a few bags of these the discerning homeowner can eke out Halloween for less than $10.
Now if trick-or-treaters were buying their own candy, thereās no way they would bother with anything with the word āmolassesā in its name. And if homeowners werenāt footing the bill for the candy, theyād probably splurge on something that wasnāt so tremendously disappointing.
So there you have it, a hated product capitalizing on a glaring economic inefficiency built into one of our most beloved holidays. The Kerrās Molasses Kiss is disgusting, unimaginative and hasnāt even changed its packaging in 50 years. And it will outlive us all.
