The boys and I went to the store yesterday, and being that it's close to October 31st, there is an enormous amount of candy for sale. Have you ever noticed how much the candy has changed since we were little? Here's a list of my favorites from my childhood...most of these are probably no longer sold...haha...I am getting old! :)
Marathon Bar...these were a foot long, chocolate covered carmel "ladder" that we used to almost choke on because it was so stringy and sticky!
Ice Cubes...delicious creamy chocolate cubes...the smoothest thing around...my Gramma "D" always had some on her purse!
Necco wafers....dry and weird tasting, but we bought them anyway! LOL
Whistle pops...Lollypops with an loud whistle (made by some candy man with no children, no doubt!)
Candy cigarettes...we "puffed" on these things until the paper got soggy!
Bazooka Joe gum...hard as a rock until you chewed it for a while...once it was soft, it lost all it's flavor...we could buy it for 2 cents at the snack shack...and the comic and joke of the day were great, cheap entertainment!
Pixie sticks...if accidently inhaling the powder didn't kill you, the 1.5 second sugar rush just might!
Reeses pieces...if it weren't for E.T., these candies would have never lasted!
Fireballs...another snack shack favorite...why did we buy something that spent more time staining our fingertips than in our mouths???
Sour patch kids...wegmans sold them in bulk, and we snuck them into the movies!!

These days, our kids have an incredible variety to choose from...

Gummy whatever...bears, worms, bugs, body parts...Chocolate anything and everything...So what did my kids get on our excursion to the store?? A package of gummy Krabby Patties, Josh eats them like a squirrel with his precious acorn. Jonathan took one bite, yelled "Yuck!!", and spit it to the ground. I'll stick to my modern favorite...the Take 5 bar!
