300 posts, and no one Bub's Daddy bubblegum? I'm disappointed.

You missed #274Ah, so I did. And IIRC, I used to get on my Columbia sting-ray with the tiger stripe seat and cheater slick, and ride a mile to the five and dime (what's a five and dime???), to pay a nickel for a stick of Bub's Daddy. My $1 allowance went a long way back then.

Once on a family camping trip as a kid a relative offered me something like a nickle a stick to gather kindling for a campfire. I made about $1.80, all of which I spent on penny candy and gumballs at the giftshop. Wow was I a happy camper, but when I got back with my filled-to-the-top sack of goodies my Dad was mad and took it away.
I saw where he put it tho, and it was mostly gone by the end of the weekend.

There was something called ValoMilk...looked like a peanut butter cup, but had marshmallow filling. Awfully sweet.

Great fun reading this thread. Thanks to all.
WalMart sells Breck shampoo for under $2.00 per bottle.
Bed Bath and Beyond sells lots of candy. They have those wax bottle things, pixie stix, Charleston Chews and Sugar Babies!

I think he said something about not wanting to pay for the dentists vacation to Hawaii.

Bummer. Maybe someone will buy the rights to the recipe/name and bring it back.... I would consider giving up my fillings and other dental work for a taste of Turkish Taffy.

I'm told that
French Chew Taffy is a close facsimile. Of course, you'd have to purchase something with the name "French" in front of it.. :-)

There is that. Sigh. Couldn't they change the name?

Most of this candy was awful tasting. My brother and I had a term for it: Depression Candy.
