Everyone loves a bit of candy every once in a while, and there are plenty of different kinds to choose from out there. However, as anyone knows, some candies eventually get discontinued. Sometimes it's due to poor sales, and sometimes, much like these examples, it is due to something far more ridiculous. These are 10 Discontinued Candies That Took It Too Far!

SUMMARIES:
- The list starts off with a rather odd choice for gummy candy shapes. As any candy lover knows, there are plenty of gummy shapes out there: frogs, bears, worms, sharks, and any other variety of animal. There are gummy soda bottles and gummy feet. The list is seemingly never-ending.
- Nestle is not a company that is known for making poor decisions with their products (setting aside some of their more unsavory actions in the past), and yet they are still not able to escape the kinds of missteps that could easily sink smaller companies.
- First of all, we need to address the fact that calling candy Toxic Waste seems like it would be the thing that undid this particular brand of sweet treat. However, that's not actually the case.
- Gummy bears: you know 'em, you love 'em. They're chewy, fruity, sweet, tasty, and go really great on frozen yogurt. You can bite their heads off, squish two of them together for flavor combinations, and you can even buy giant gummy bears online.
- Anyone who was lucky enough to get a Kinder Egg on Christmas or on a birthday knows that they are not only fun but even the chocolate shell, combined with a layer of cream on the inside, was actually pretty delicious!
- Anyone who has ever gone trick or treating (which, let's face it, is most the people) knows the pain of getting a bag full of smarties, the unappealing little chalky circles that are mildly fruit-flavored.
- This one probably seems obvious to anyone who grew up with this specific type of candy. For those who might not know, here's a brief history lesson: smoking used to be far more widespread, and the dangers of it hadn't exactly been ingrained in the public consciousness yet.
- Don't assume that the failure of candy cigarettes kept candy companies from making stupid decisions in the future as well. Sure, that might have been an obvious decision to make back in the day, but in the new millennium, candy producers had to try and push the envelope and make candy products that would be edgy, different, and appeal to both kids and adults.
- Let's take a journey back to the 60s. It was a far different time than today. Even though the early sixties only saw the rising popularity of the beat movement and entirely new forms of expression, the late sixties erupted in declarations of peace, free love, and expanding one's mind.
- Finally, we come to a candy infamous not for its ingredients, but for its packaging. Maoam was a fruit-flavored candy sold in England, and it was known for the little green mascot that adorned all of its packagings. While he was pretty adorable, when combined with the personified fruit on the package, he got into some pretty compromising situations.
