What about the Marathon Bar? Do you know what happened to it? See Curly Wurly on Old Time Candy.

For me, Now & Laters and Nerds take me back. I remember that popularity in fourth grade was positively correlated to how many Now&Later packs and Nerds boxes you had at lunch time to share with your friends. Those were the days…

I'm with sween. Lik-m-Aid Fun Dip was definitely a fun, if not redundant, concept. Mmm mmm!

A couple of weeks ago I got a promotional packet at the store. The Dummies books series is publishing guides to different decades and to launch the ones for the 60s and 70s, they sent us a bag of all of those kinds of candies. It was fun to see my son experience them for the first time. I had to watch, dammit.

We rarely had candy in my house when I was a kid. Seriously, there was a package of Mallowmars way high up in the cabinet that lasted the duration of my youth. But I seem to recall enjoying the occasional Charleston Chew and always buy one whenever I see it. But I’d rather have an olive, or a pickle or some pineapple on pizza :).
And I AM bitter. How did you know? Perhaps it was the lack of sweetness in my formative years? My desolate lonlieness here at work. Alone. Without anyone to email. Except, you know, people I’m SUPPOSED to email.
Thanks for the always amusing break from the mundane!

Pop Rocks! Oh the fizzy goodness… Well, and also Whoppers…. and then there were the Babe Ruth bars my Grandma always had at her house… I can’t go on — I’ll develop diabetes.

Without a doubt, mine are those giant candied diamond rings (I couldn’t find them on the website) in watermelon flavor.
