My favorite was black balls, when you suck them in your mouth, they changed colour.....always had a black tongue!:wah:

and of course pop-rocks!!

and and candy cigarettes!

what were some of yours...................

I still like candy cigarettes. I bought a case of them for me and a guy at work. They were 15 cents a pack. The next time I went to buy them, they had raised them to 25 cents a pack. Tends to annoy you when the local store tries to screw you so I seldom buy them now.

I still like poprocks and I love pixie sticks.

poprocks, thanks, I have corrected mine! The stores are raising prices on them, we noticed this awhile ago.

Pez despensers were a big seller to.

RedGlitter · Post by **RedGlitter** » Sat Aug 30, 2008 12:43 am

I loved Space Dust before they renamed it Pop Rocks.

Banana Laffy Taffy

Bottlecaps

Watermelon Jolly Rancher Stix

HotPix cinnamon toothpicks

Lik-M-Aid

Astropops!!!!!!!!!!! Best Mexican candy ever!

Those peanut matzipan candies you find in Mexican stores along with the little gums that come four to a pack. They throw them in parades.

Nerds

Runts

Chicklets- the tiny ones

Suckers in the long cellophane strip with plastic toys in between each sucker.

Fruit Stripe and Juicy Fruit Gum

:-6

Forgot the best ones!!! "Button Candy!" Little candy dots on a paper strip!

I remember walking home after school and stopping by the little grocery store that was on the way. This was in Chicago. I used to like to get turkish taffey and those long pretzel sticks. Those packs of gum with the cards inside the pack was also a favorite. I remember when they had Beatle cards in them. :wah:

They still sell them in our little neighborhood store. They're like 5 for 50 cents so still not too bad. I buy them every once in a while. I just can't bring myself to eat the wax like I did as a kid. :wah:

I remember being able to buy small one cent, two cent, three cent etc. bags of candy. You did not know what you were getting until you opened the bag.

I used to love the strawberry and banana candies you got for a penny or 2, but my favorite which were 3 for a penny are now politically incorrect so all I can say is we called the N... babies. Thy were little baby shaped candies made of licorice.
