I Want Candy!

Remember the wax bottles with colored sugar water in them? I liked those too. I really liked the green candy cigars! It wasn't candy but RC colas and a moon pie were BIG. Circus Peanuts and candy powder straws.
Yes TD, the brand I recall is Pixie Sticks - typically small like the size of an actual drinking straw. But very easy to trigger a coughing fit if I inhaled while swallowing.

One of my least fav candies.
 
Oh I recall those Lynne - one of my chocolate favs too. It had kind of an “airy” inside. Almost like someone stole all the rice crispy cereal out of a chocolate bar and left the empty tiny chambers behind.

Yes! It was a bit chalky and lite. I still get cravings for them.
 
I loved Sugar Daddys. Normally I didn't get to have them because "It would rot my teeth." The only exception was when I had a loose tooth. THEN they would let me have one and usually before I was done with it the tooth was out.
 

I can't remember if this was previously posted, but Grandpa Joe's is a franchised oldtime candy shop. I think they are primarily in PA and OH, there are three of them within 40 miles of me. They also take online orders. Great selection.

NOW! TO THE TOPIC! YES, I WANT CANDY! AND I JUST SAW A NEW ONE COMING OUT FOR HALLOWEEN THAT I MUST HAVE!


WHAT CANDY WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THAT IS NOT OUT THERE? WHAT FLAVOR COMBO? HOW ABOUT THE RETRO STUFF? BRING IT BACK?
Well I want Bow Wow Wow back and I'll have a side of fizzy sherbet (amazing drug for kids which felt like it was exploding on the tongue) but not the liquorice stick, since like any good kid I gave that to the dog and used my fingers. Why taint genius with something that tastes like sucking rubber?
