Depending on the state, it’s battery or assault. Technically all you need is an “unwanted touching”, so if you didn’t ask for the candy and it “touched” you, it’s assault. One of the cases that’s famous is the cigarette smoke case where someone stood up and blew smoke on another person purposefully. He was charged and convicted of assault, because the smoke “touched” him. 
 

O and it’s the US, anything is a  tortious action  

I wonder if shouting at someone is "assault" since the sound waves were directed at and physically contacted the unwilling person's eardrums.

And if so, then is talking to someone who doesn't want to hear you also "assault"?

There was a case where plaintiffs tried to sue for 'assault' based on bad smell-their argument was that molecules were hittin their nose but court said nope.

No. Making sounds intended to touch my eardrums against my will.

If I remember correctly yes in some cases-because a yell in the ear hurts.

Emitting body odor/smell is not intended or as easily controlled or stop as yelling or talking is.
