I was absolutely crazy about these when I was a child. Couldn’t get enough of them. Now for adult me these are WAY TOO SWEET and instantly make my teeth hurt. Actually haven’t tried one in probably 20 years.
Are you talking about 30cm traffic cones? Unfortunately I don’t ever see them used since they’re not allowed for any real work. The smallest I can try are 50cm, but that’s pretty big already.
They’re not actually bad. It’s just a joke that nearly everyone plays along with kind of like Americans using imperial measurements. Americans don’t actually use imperial. Sure, the products may list both measurements, but just for historical reasons. TV shows and movies use them as just another trope, which helps with keeping the illusion up. Anyway, I’m gonna go buy a pound of candy corns and eat the shit out of them.
They’re texturally kinda unique, and they’re basically corn syrup flavored with maybe a hint of honey. I like them but I definitely understand the people who don’t.
Imma have to ask. Why are these talked about so badly?
I’ve never seen them in real life, so I have no idea if they actually taste bad.
For the same reason people pretend to not like the word moist.
Humans are desperate for connection and will attach to even meaningless pop culture trends in an attempt to belong to an in-group.

they taste exactly like small traffic cones.
Tell me you’ve never gnawed on a traffic cone without telling me you’ve never gnawed on a traffic cone.

That’s kinda what I pictured. I’ll have to try them one day!
It’s entirely possible that nobody actually knows.
