Haven't had in years

I liked Marino's ices.

Oh my penny candy. If you are too young to remember it boy oh boy you sure did miss the good ol' days.You could get a whole bag full of different stuff for a nickel. Anyone remember DOTS on the paper rolls? Fireballs?

My dad's grandparents had a candy store. No wonder he has such a sweet tooth!

charleston chews cold were good - has someone mentioned them

That's the ones Allison, or close to them. I remember the frozen Charleston Chews, you had to smack 'em, crack 'em and eat 'em. I have not had any of this stuff except maybe a snickers bar here and there and a Hershey's chocolate with almonds(the only way to fly imho) in a long, long time. Wax lips and mustache anyone?

we had wax lips ... can't imagine why we liked them though

Loved the chocolate Necco wafers and what they only put about 2 in every pack. NOw you can buy a whole chocolate roll, took them about 30 years to come out with that.

Mary Janes were my mom's fav.

We always sneak candy into the movies...we went once with a few friends and I had on a jacket that had a hood and they all put their candy in there. When we got inside they are all reaching in my hood to get their stuff out, people around us were cracking up.

Those wax lips were nasty.

I agree, somehow kids liked them.

I used to love those candy necklaces.

Remember the wax fingernails? The wax harmonica thing (it had liquid in it ) I imagine you could have put a wick in us & used us as candles with all that wax

Yes, cow tales! Thanks Leighton!

Have we mentioned Juicy fruit, Black Crows, Ju Ju Bees Eating these always left me with my finger in my mouth, trying to pry them off my teeth.

Juicy Fruit tasted so good but the flavor lasted all of a minute! lol.... I remember Red Hot Dollars or just Red dollars... some kind of gummy..... at the drive in!

Oh ya juju-bees. Things were like cement on the old molars. How about the little wax soda bottles with some really icky sweet juice or facsimile there of in them, ewww just the thought of it, so gross now, but was a real neat thing back in the good ol' days. LOL
One good thing I can remember and really miss is fresh made donuts cooked to order, probably in lard and not at all dietetic but yum. Warm and dipped in frosting and chocolate jimmies. mmmmmm

Just found Squirrel Nut Zippers, Mary Janes and Skybars in quantity at Reny's in Wells Maine. Necco makes the Mary Janes and Squirrel....
:)

Hmm.... I didn't know there was a Reny's in Wells.....I love Necco wafers... Remember Now and Later's?

I do!

me too!!

Um the grape ones. Rot your teeth out now, save some for the rest of your teeth later. lol

nice!!

Funny - I don't remember them.

I remember Now and Laters!! Chocolate was my favorite! How about Goobers? Mallow cups, couldn't bite one without the marshmallow dripping on your chin!!

I like Raisinettes.

my mom loved raisinettes!!.. that was the movie snack choice

Goobers.

Speaking of which, anyone remember the old drive-in movie animated commercial for the snack bar items?

I do! Too Funny... lol! After those commercials, people would head to the snack bar in droves.. lol

There was one in Maine when we were kids that advertised "Round Dogs" - hotdogs on hamburger buns....

Where in Maine did you go to the Drive In? There are still a few left in these parts.

You have brought back some memories!

Victor, David took me to that pastry shop in Astoria, it was very good!

At work today, we've been a little stressed (not me, I was just on vacation) and during a meeting one of the nurses came in, and while 2 of us had our heads together deep in conversation, she sits at the table with a wax mustache, quietly, until we looked up and cracked up. She brought us wax lips too, so we all put them on, and it was funny. But just that little taste of holding them in for a minute was yuck!

I'm glad someone else loved JuJu-bees---they were my fav movie treat. Also loved vanilla sodas---New Yorkers call them egg creams---that we could get at the soda fountains, And Good Humor used to sell twin ice pops---lemon on one side & raspberry on the other---Lord, haven't thought about those in years!

Glad you liked it, Deb. Way more $$ these days. Pastries used to be 50 cents!

I read that pastries as pasties....lol ugh, I'm getting sleepy.

How about those little ice cream cups vanilla with chocolate or strawberry.
and how about those good humor ice cream bars with the jokes on the sticks.

Hee hee - a quarter on each? Kind of small.

Better than a dime!

Hee hee. I like silver dollars!

LeightonHill, I still go to the Skowhegan Drive-In.

Wow! Kids are still free and you still get a double feature?

There are a couple down this way (Drive Ins).... one about 10 minutes from my house... I haven't been to one in years though..... fun to walk down memory lane!

Last time I was at a Drive-In was over 10 years ago while on vacation in ME or NH. Iwouldlove to bring my family to one again.
