Remember Candy from Your Childhood

[BrahmaMama]

I used to love Big Chew, Bubble Tape, Pop Rocks, these caramel apple suckers, Three Musketeers and Almond Joy....some others that people have mentioned here.

I also used to get this Seltzer water, in little bottles...can't for the life of me remember the name, but it came in some neat flavors. After that was gone, I started drinking Clearly Canadian...that was still around a year or so ago, I remember seeing it somewhere. The bottles are different though

Oh, and these cool pudding cups I used to take to school. I *want* to say it was by Del Monte, and it came in those teeny little cans-light fruit comes in, but smaller. It was the best pudding evar!

Okay, sorry I got sidetracked on other food items, not candy!

If anyone lives or visits Oregon, there's a candy store in Seaside Oregon you should check out. They carry all kinds of retro candy. It's a trip down memory lane.

Oh yeah, Pixy sticks, loved those! We used to get these liquid candy sticks (looked alot like pixy sticks) that had cool flavors like rootbeer, bubblegum, blue rasberry, etc...I think it was honey that was the liquid. Our local small down drugstore carried them.

And those Necco, or whatever they're called-wafer thingys...Yuck! I have bad memories of those, lol!

Yoo-hoo-good drink

I can't remember the name but it's the 3 different color coconut treat

Brach's put those out. VERY YUMMY.....
OOHH!!OOHH.....WACKY WAFERS!!!!!! I have looked everywhere for them..They stopped making them. My favorite was the banana and watermelon. YUMMY!

But the best of the best for me is something you get in PA> Originated by the Pennsylvania Dutch. Called Candy toys..Little lollipops shaped like Christmas themed toys. You could (and can) only get those during the Christmas season..You can still find them at the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia @ Christmas time!! Boy those were magical days for me!

....Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance la la la la la la.

No, but it's funny there were two! I went to Linworth Elementary on 161 just East of Dublin. Now it's the Worthington High School Alternative School.

You can still get Teaberry and Clove and Blackjack gum through the Vermont Country Store catalogue. Other old time candy, too.
