The Cool Candy Thread - Page 8

Whe I was a kid and Microsoft didn't exist and Redmond, WA was a cowtown with one stoplight, we used to buy our milk from a dairy with actual cows milked by actual milking machines and bottled in actual glass half-gallon bottles with foil caps. They also had actual penny candy (up to 3 cents each by the time the cows were sold.) I fondly remember sixlets and zots. Oh those fizzy zots! My brother and I each got one piece of candy per visit and zots were my favorite.

Oh yes, Zotz! I loved those too. When I was a kid, I could always score some of the coolest candy at the baseball field snack bar.

The baseball field was "THE PLACE" for good junk food! Nachos, zotz, red devils!

Oh and how about Razzles?? It's not a candy but it's not a gum, LOVED Razzles!

Fiz Wiz was awesome. Not quite as awesome as pop rocks and alas, they disappeared.

I was staring at the *cheap* candy this weekend contemplating if the wax bottles of sugar liquid would taste as awesome as they did when I was a kid.

Does anyone remember when 3-Musketeer bars came in a white wrapper?

They don't and yes I remember(never liked those though, but I will eat a milky midnight)

Remember Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Crunchy? With the chopped nuts on top??

I also used to LOVE LOVE LOVE Munch Bars & Planter's Peanut Bars, for some reason I can't eat them anymore though.

Zotz were great. What a wonderfully bizarre candy.

I've been buying the Hershies Take Five bars out of the vending machines at work. They're really tasty. The only problem is that I end up humming the jazz tune "Take Five" for quite awhile afterwards.

I miss those sugar eggs for Easter. The really really really detailed kind that you look into the little hole and there's a scene? I used to LOVE those(didn't eat 'em but looked soooo forward to them)

OMG- now I want Bottle Caps, and Ribbon Candy, and the robins' eggs... my grandma used to have ribbon candy every Christmas and I always hated to be the first one to snag a piece, because it was so pretty in the box, all tidy.

Another of my favorites are the Smarties. Can't get the generic ones, though, they're not the same.

I've been snacking on the caramel filled Hershey Kisses. Those are good. Yum.
