I'm not much of a chocolate fan, so I eat all the "little kid candy"
mrs.slave1pilot thinks it's funny

Oh man!! I had rock candy once. But the mom and pop store that carried it called "Cheetos" stopped selling it. All the kids in middle school always bought it.

Yeah bro, I could hook you up with some rock candy, and probably the Strawberry Chewies, too. There's a place around here called the Mast General Store, and they carry a lot of old school candies in barrel-loads.

One way to stop your kids from realizing the joys of eating candy is by scarring them for life with these.

I also always loved Nerds, the fact that there were two flavors in each box got me each time. After I ate them, I'd play with boxes, the fact that the deffrent varieties were seperated just intrested me alot.

As far as rock candy goes...I've always hated it, and I still do. It just has no taste. Or all the kinds I've ever had haven't anyway.

I always loved the white & brown striped peanut butter log candy. My grandmother kept a giant jar filled with Lemonheads in her kitchen. And before youth group meetings at church, we used to head over to the 7-11 on the corner for candy--jolly ranchers, pop rocks, fun dip, nerds.

while I still see a lot of these things around..

I was also one to get lots of the dipastick powder candy things. As well as those little styrofoam plane model things they sold next to the candy at the Jr Food Store. lol not the big white ones but smaller ones painted like WWII fighters.

In middle school was when the tear jerkers and crybaby's and warheads were out in force. I liked the crybaby tears. sour sweetart like things. Chewy sweetarts are also awesome but I dont see those much anymore either. not the small ones but the giant ones.


Always been a big fan of Skittles and Reese's cups, thank goodness they are still around

LOL...I remember when I was in elementary school being told not to eat any of them because someone was lacing them with LSD and giving them out to kids. Those were the days....

Sometimes when some of the kids in middle school didn't have money for candy they would bring a pack of Kool-aid, add sugar, and that was your fun-dip. Man did it stain lot of tounge's, fingers, and clothes.
