I'll have to find an Abba Zabba and see if the wrapper is still politically incorrect...probably not.

My favorite was the orange Wowee Wax Whistles.
Play music for awhile and then chew 'em up.

I used to eat these as a kid. Now you can't find them anywhere. No matter. I can't eat that crap anymore anyhow.

My favorite was 7-up (?) candy bar. It had seven different fillings lined up in a row. Oh, and Fruit Stripe gum.

There use to be a candy lip stick that was too good to put into words, bite off a chunk and it would turn creamy. Gosh I would love for some company to bring it back again.
To: redlipstick

Another favorite childhood candy of mine was these swedish fish.
The variety store on my block used to sell these as "penny candy". I used to get a brown paperbag full of these and savor them all day long. My mouth tingles just thinking about them. It's a wonder I didn't rot my teeth out.

Do they have Mars bars (with almonds) anymore? I used to loooove those.
To: katnip
Sen-Sen's are the nastiest things I have ever tasted.
My mom has talked about them for years and wanted some...a few weeks ago a candy store opened and the owner ordered some for her ...nasty, nasty, nasty....tastes like soap.
To: redlipstick
You can go back again...
