Remember Candy from Your Childhood

[okiemommy]

We used to get penny candy at a candy store that was around the corner from our house. They were chewy and had fruit on the rapper. I never knew what they were called, but I sure loved them!

My other favorites:

rolo's

big chew

candy ciggarettes

fun dip

band aid gum

the gel sugar in a tube(have no idea what that was called either)

ring pops

candy necklaces


YAY!!!!

OK well technichally I'm still a kid but alot of the candies you're mentioning are still available. And gold rush gum is the best gum ever whoever said that.

Candy dots on the sheet of paper
Wax lips (loved the smell of them)
Sugar Babies
Mars Bars
Frozen Reese's Peanut Butter Cups from the concession stand at the city pool

Necco wafers make good poker chips in a pinch - I always thought that was a better use for them since they taste like Pepto-Bismol to me.

I do I do!!! Those things were awesome! I searched online for companies that carry long forgotten candy but those are truly discontinued. No one I know remembers them but me. I'm so glad you posted that just minutes before I was going to! I'm not (completely) nuts!!
Frozen Charleston Chews-raspberry flavored center-whack it on the edge of the counter. Pull out all your fillings trying to chew it!!

I know what you mean
When I talk about I wish they still made them most people don't know what I'm talking about

Orange gum in sticks like Wrigley's My grandfather owned a convenience store/bait shop and this is what I always got when we would visit and let us kids pick out some candy from the candy aisle... I miss that gum! Don't miss him too much to be honest he turned into a real pain in the _ _ _ as he got older!
