I still eat candle sticks. Don't eat them if they're lit, though.

I didn't eat the wax bottles, since they were tasteless. But I liked the flavor of the other wax items. I haven't tried regular candles, though!

those little barrel-shaped pink bubble gum~

O

How about Bazooka bubble gum? It came with a little cartoon strip in it, I think. The gum was tasty.

Gus1234U · May 03, 2018 at 09:37 PM

that's the one i meant~!

Nammu · May 03, 2018 at 10:13 PM

I never cared for bazooka gum tho I liked the cartoons. I was more into clove and black jack gum....although there was another....hmm, lucky stripe? Came in bright stripes and different flavors if I'm remembering right. Reminds me of a song....Does your bubblegum loose its flavor on the bed post overnight?

Oh, man...I want some of this candy now!

Fun dip? I liked the stick—my favorite!! not the powder.

Pop rocks?

Those dots stuck to slick paper?

Candy necklaces?.

I loved the bottle caps

There were stripey ones that tasted of fruit, too. The name escapes me...but I think it might have been Beechnut Gum, or something like that.

Yes, I remember striped gum with different colored stripes depending on the fruit flavor. Now what was that called? I want to think the word "fruit" was in the name.

Now I remember it was called Fruit Stripe Gum. There are even sites for it. Case in point: Fruit Stripe It's even sold on Ebay!

Nammu · May 04, 2018 at 12:53 PM

Ah! I probably got the cigarette lucky strike confused with the gum fruit stripes. It ran out of flavor fast tho. Anyone remember what they ate at the double feature movies? I liked snow caps and dots.

Gus1234U · May 04, 2018 at 02:33 PM

does anyone remember Sugar Daddies, and Sugar Babies ?? or Blair Co., who made them first ?? oh, Blair used to give out candy to people who bought their products, traveling salesmen,, i remember little black cherry diskettes....

Yes but eating those things caused them to get stuck in my teeth! I ended up just sucking the caramel off and spitting rest out, lol.

I ate that gum quite often! I liked certain flavors most, though.Orange and Green, yellow!

The Babies did stick to my teeth, too, so I usually got the Sugar Daddy.

Some of you probably remember the old Saturday Matinee Movies for kids. They were a zoo - no adults to be found. We sometimes sat in the balcony and, having bought root beer barrels (a hard candy) at the concession stand, we would throw them, aiming for the heads of kids sitting below (Ouch!). Sure...The root beer barrels tasted good, but they were best used as weapons of mass distraction. We were little savages.
