Nostalgic Candy

GREEN jolly ranchers were my favorite ... came in those flat sticks..

I only find the little flat sticks...

Oh the Jolly Ranchers! I remember when I was at school on the 80's that they also came on a double flat lolly, like a square with two legs and they came only in Grape, Apple & Cherry. My fav was Cherry!

I actally had a cherry diamond ring last week, they have them at W*M.

the gum that had the liquid inside... I can't remember what it was called...

"Freshen Up"

also those candies you sucked on and when you got to the middle it fizzed....

nah, it wasn't that.... it was fruity flavoured (grape, etc...) gum with some sort of sugary gel-like liquid in the middle.... way bad for you....

ok don't flame me here but we used to call the gum with the liquid inside "cum gum"

I always called it Bubbaloo. I wouldn't even know what "cum gum" meant.... lol

Marilyn, we still have tons of those here in Brazil! You still like them?

no, i don't.... liked them when I was a kid though...

For me my faves were the candy diamond ring and the candy necklaces and bracelets which the still have. I like black jack gum too.

Wow look at all those sheep...

black crows

I saw the Black Crows...you can still buy them.

Freshen Up gum was the gum with the liquid...you can still get that.

Slopokes and Violet gum are still available. www.oldtimefavorites.com

I was surprised when I saw all that older candy...it's still around, just not in abundance.

Zotz...still available. Loved those.

my grandma must have bought no name brand ones... I don't remember them being ZOTZ.. the packaging was the same though, it was just in clear plastic with no label, as far as I can remember

Shoot what was your grandma feeding you??

I used to like Fun Dip - that white candy stick that you dip into the different colored powders and lick it. I don't know if they still sell it...

Wow, we actually have something in common.. I know I have seen it in Aus..

Does anyone remember B-B Bats? They were taffy on a small stick. Also, Kits. They were a much smaller version of Laffy Taffy.

Loved banana!!!

Pixie Stix.

I once went on a diet of eating nothing but candy necklaces and Pixie Stix . It was a cheap sugar rush.
