All of the above.

And Tootsie Pops & Whatchamacallits.

Oh, my God! That list! That list is making me weep! Zotz! Sugar Daddies! Marathon Bars!

And, for whatever reason, I used to eat the little ketchup packets from McDonalds. Yes, I know that is really, really gross.

Pep-O-Mint Life Savers

Never ONCE did I see my Grandfather without his roll of Pep-O-Mint Life Savers. I snuck a roll in his coffin at the funeral.

I should go buy some. I miss him.

Oh, Lik-m-Aid Fun Dip. All the way.

Nothing like eating sugar. With a utensil. Made of sugar.

Have you heard the news that sugar costs are going to rise due to the hurricane? Gahhh!

I'm a big Fun Dip fan myself. I hate the actual "dip", but those sticks are the best. For my birthday one year, I received my age in lick-a-sticks.

I remember always getting a roll of Necco's when my mom would take me to the movies. I'd pass her ones until I got to the chocolate and black ones. How exciting when you could eventually by a whole roll of Chocolate ones.

i seem to remember during my childhood a candy bar called a maratho bar. i'm weeping just thinking about the caramely goodness. it looked like braided bliss. i don't know why they stopped making it, but a part of me died that day. my pancreas, most likely.

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

Malo-Cups and Bottle Caps

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.

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!

The flavor of Hubba Bubba origional and those little sesame hard candies in clear plastic. I once pulled a tooth out chewing a Sugar Daddy. Woah! I didnt even know it was loose.

That was my comment... didnt mean to go anon.

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.

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

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...

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