I always liked the bottle of coke for five cents. Wonder if that'll be back?

"Candy cigarettes are now called candy sticks. "

Bring back chocolate cigarettes! They were awesome!

Chocolate Babies were great. Can't they rename them (assuming there was ever anything politically incorrect about them)?

Baby Boomers can't seem to grow up, at least when comes to their taste in candy.

That should read:

Oh, baby. Candy cigarettes. Those were my absolute favorites!

I don't smoke, BTW. But man, I thought those were cool when I was a kid!

Remember those little wax bottles of liquid? You'd bite through the wax and then drink the sugary stuff. I don't want to know what was in it, but boy, was it good.

Black Jack and Beeman's gum.

They still make it, but it doesn't seem to make the cut in the stores.

How about candy necklaces, candy lipstick and those straws with powdery stuff inside? And Lik-M-Aid?

My favorite was the orange Wowee Wax Whistles.

Play music for awhile and then chew 'em up.

One of my favorites---I don't know if it's nostalgic, is Judson Cherry Sours.

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.

Libby's! Please bring back FRUIT FLOAT.

Also Betty Crocker had these great potato chips in a box (like a big cereal box). They were like Pringle's in a way but the tasted better. Anyone remember them?

The candy-dots-on-paper thingy was a staple of my youth. I think I got most of my fiber that way.

My sister got an assorted box of these old candies for me for my birthday last year. Pretty wild.

Anyone remember Jello 1-2-3?
