Yea, they're terrible also. You know you've been to a hateful house when you get candy corn for Halloween :^D Nasty wax, and sugar :^(

I love candy corn. Not as much as mr circus peanuts up there, but its a good candy.

Favorite old school candies: pop rocks, blow pops, jolly ranchers.

Wait, you like Candy Corn AND the Circus Peanuts? GOOD LORD

I don't know what to say...

Oh man, I must have a screw loose because I love candy corn too. Eat the white/yellow part first, then the orange. Even though they taste the same, that's how I have to do it.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but do you like Peeps too?

Vienna Fruit filled candy

I'm getting really really hungry here. I also love circus peanuts, don't mind a few candy corn (but I eat the orange part first), I eat about one package of peeps per year, at Easter of course, but I hate talk radio - not nearly enough music.

I have some almond joy minis in the fridge. I was saving them for a candy emergency. This might be a candy emergency.

edit - and I like Necco's a lot. I especially like the packages that are all chocolate.

I <3 Gummi Cokes, 2 years ago my sis found the 5lb bags on Amazon and got me 1 of each, the small fat ones and the really large thin ones. Definitely my favorite Gummi candy but after almost 10lb (I gave some away) I was kind of burned out lol.

I never could stand Peeps...pure sugary yuck IMO, but I liked Necco's...especially the chocolate ones.
Circus peanuts...I can usually stand about a half-dozen of them...then I give the bag away to one of my neighbor kids.

Then again, Marvel and DC comic books were a dime...and the ads in them...WOW! Sell 12 boxes of cards...get a free prize!

My daughter came across some comics from the 60's and 70's the other day. (worn and beat-up, no resale value) I had forgotten about the "Magic X-ray Specs" and some of the other crap they sold in those...

Tell us more about the dinosaurs, grandpa.

Get the fuck off my lawn you little bastard!

 

[DaTT]

Punkys

 

[shortylickens]

Twizzlers Nibs. They actually taste better. Luckily they can still be found easily.

I like a lot of other things but cant think of them right now. Lemme get back to you.

 

[GooeyGUI]

OMG, I just spent $115 at the http://www.oldtimecandy.com candy store.

It didn't help that my wife wanted 40 packs of clove gum and 40 packs of Teaberry gum.

I've never had circus peanuts, but I don't think I'd like them. I was comparing the level of enthusiasm CPA demonstrated

I think the cheapest I remember a candy bar being was 15¢, definitely no more than 20¢. I sold those stupid cards a couple of times. I got a crappy skateboard the one time, and I don't remember the other. I did learn a valuable lesson though. I learned that I don't want to have anything to do with sales :^D

Edit:
For grammar

I tried selling the seeds, with much the same result 😛
I can remember when comic books were a quarter, and still have a few of them... the price shot up rapidly from there, though, within ten years they were $1.50. I bought Bazooka Joe for a penny, too 😀

And yes, I like the occasional circus peanut and candy corn.

 

[alkemyst]

french roasted peanuts by Brachs....

the school faves were atomic fireballs, bubblelisous (sp), cinnamon toothpicks (homebrew)...

 

[BoomerD]

Boston Baked Beans...

 

[Chronoshock]

I remember buying bubbletape a few times for the novelty. Realistically, that much gum gets kind of gross 1/3 of the way through, but as a kid, the notion of having so much available was enticing

 

[ranmaniac]

Big League Chew, especially the grape flavored.

Funny trying to emulate the baseball players chewing and spitting as a kid, although I didn't realize it was tobacco they were spitting until years later.

I remember when comic books were 12 cents and you could buy three sour jujube hats for a penny.

Grape was the BEST! I ate some years after I had grown up to reminisce. And holy crap that stuff taste like pure sugar. Definitely wasn't high quality bubble gum. I remember as a kid I always wanted to swallow it real quick, dunno why

 

[octopus41092]

Pop Rocks. I never have those anymore.

 

[Ackmed]

Pez.

 

[geno]

Who remembers Bonkers?

 

[Linflas]

Bonimo's Turkish Taffey
Bubble gum cigars
Rock Candy
Goetz's Caramel Creams

 

[nanette1985]

Hmm, I love Goetz's Caramel Creams. Bubble gum cigars were always too hard to chew. I loved breaking Bonomo's turkish taffy, but don't remember actually eating the stuff. And I still like rock candy - it's easy to make.

I used to be afraid of HeatH bars. The H eat H thing was really weird. Liked the taste, but wondered about the H eating H thing.

When I was in elementary school I was crazy about Lik-M-Aid. A quick google search tells me that it is now called Fun Dip. Which my grandson loves, and I hate. But when I was little it wasn't sour, it was normal flavors.
