Not to everyone's taste

I liked Spree candy when I was in high school, as did a lot of other students.  Once, however, while a student was eating Spree in one of my high school English classes, the teacher asked, "May I try one of those?  I'm curious to see what all the fuss is about."  After eating a piece of Spree, the teacher grimaced and said, "Well, now I understand why you all buy these and throw them at each other."

I wonder if the teacher gave out Sprees for Halloween at her home, knowing that kids ate them frequently, or refrained from it, knowing that she'd be stuck with them if trick-or-treaters didn't choose them.
