Haven't had in years

I'll have to try the Snicker bar Jen.Sounds good.

The only complaint I have about them is that they are too small.

I remember buying 6 candy bars, they were about three times larger what they are now, for the price or 5 at 25 cents. Now doesn't that tell you how old I am? lol

Don't remember Squirrel Nuts.

I was addicted to C. Howard's Scented Gum for a long long time

Oddly enough Squirrel Nuts brings another image to mind lol

The Bazooka Gum brings back memories. Bazooka Joe comics.The gum was always dry and hard.

I saw a program the other day where a guy had collected all the Cracker Jack surprises. The collection was worth thousands. Who wooda thunk it?

skybars.... skip the vanilla square or trade it with some poor unsuspecting slob for another caramel one....

yes those were good

I love Skybars!! I'll take the vanilla too!

I put pop rocks in my sisters mouth when she was sleeping... she made a lot of noise!!

You're bad!
Wasn't there one called volcano dust, also?

Thank you, I was trying to remember the name for Sky Bar. I especially liked the caramel, too.

I lived on Bazooka gum!! Scooter pies were good too...they have something like that now I think they are called moon pies. Certainly doesn't taste the same!!

Randy loves Charleston chews

Frozen Charleston chews, oh yeah those were great!

How about BB Bats?

oh Jen another rip your fillings out candy!!

Great when you were losing baby teeth.

LOL

Not so great if you bite in & a crown comes loose. I no longer eat carmels even if sugar free.

The wax lips I can remember. In the same time it was little wax bottles you sucked on. Probaby pure sugar in those days.

Jen, those BB bats look familiar. I think we called them Sugar Daddys and the candy bean was a Sugar Baby. Was that the same thing?

Yes, to the Scooter pies!

Check out these yummies in Grand Central!

Looks like a bunch of cupcakes with a bunch of colored topping.

Maybe to some.

All that sugar, what a rush!
Sugar Daddies and Suger babies are different. I think size had to do with it. Daddys were on a stick, and I think the babies were not.

Oh my teeth hurt!! Sugar Mamas were chocolate covered Sugar daddies...sooo good!

Sugar daddies were carmel with the stick

Check out the history lower on the link.

atomic fireballs, Mary Janes, licorice pipes or whips.

There was also a chocolate cow or slo cow. Anyone remember?

Maria, I remember the nickle candy bars too. (I'm 54) One of our corner stores also had a fudge sickle for a nickle.(they were a dime all the other places)

Speaking of candy prices, I am shocked and amazed at the prices in movie theatres!

You Too? I never buy snacks in the movies.It cost more than the admission ticket. There's a dollar store near my theatre that sells candy and junk food. I always stop in there and load up before going into the movie.

Licorice pipes were good. Lasted a long time and you could get enough to share with friends. Unless you just called, NO Hegees! Which meant "I'm not sharing, don't ask for any!" Don't know where that term came from but we used it all the time :-)

don't forget the sugar babies!!!

There is a Walgreen's next to our theatre. Everyone stops there before the movies. They made the Walgreen's plaster signs all over stating it was illegal to bring their candy to the movies. Of course, everyone obeys ;)

Ha! Of course.

We always smuggle in our candy at a movie..lol! I remember (and I think they are still out there), Cow Tails... carmel with the yummy white filling..

There was this gum that tasted like wintergreen (sort of) and it was shaped like a mini hot dog... Twas yummy

yes... one of my favs

Loved licorice. What about Necco wafers? Loved them.

I was not big on those

You mean these goodies? yum...

NECCO WAFFERS!
I still loves those. I remember when I was a kid (long time ago) I would have nickel. I would go to the local pool and spend 2 pennies to get into the pool and then put the three remaining pennies in my sneakers. After swimming I would go to the candy store across the street and spend several minutes trying to decide how to spend my 3 pennies on candy. I always bought Necco Waffers and used my last penny for something else.
This was a very important decision because I wouldn"t get another nickel till the following week.
And sometimes if you were VERY LUCKY you might find a penny on the ground. Oh happy day!

LOL! Yup! I remember those rich penny days.
