Cloying? I come here for entertainment not education. Apparently it means "excessively sweet, rich, or sentimental, especially to a disgusting or sickening degree." For the other people like me who thought it might be a type of bird song.

  No, good candy balances sugars with flavors or other ingredients to avoid being cloying.
