I am dying to find Wacky Wafers again.....I loved Banana Flavored.

Does anyone else remember the Marathon candy bar?

Does anyone remember Royals??

How about Betcha Life Candy Bar??

Does anyone remember Bravos?? They were like round Doritos...I loved to make nachos out of them ..YUM!

What was your favorite candies??

Lemon heads?? Boston Baked Beans? Astro Pops?? Tiny Tarts?? Sixlets? Razzles??

Does anyone remember when they made all the cool gum?? Like HUbba Bubba...I remember they made a gum that came in a plastic container, and it was shaped like a waffle, and had "syrup" you poured on it, and I remember gum that came in a container shaped like a Big Mac, and looked like a BIg Mac.  All that stuff was so cool as a kid.  We had little family owned candy shops in my home town, I went to at least 5 different ones....and they had all the choclate candy too...like bridge mix, and the chocolate stars, and I loved candy back in the 80's. I hardly ever eat candy any more.  But I use to be a Junk Food Junkie- ;)

My favourite kind of candies in the 80's were Wonka Thrills.  They were purple pieces of gum that looked like chiclets but only they tasted like soap.  I know they don't sound appealing, but I was addicted to them

Every halloween i used to get 'em and I never wanted 'em, but over the years I grew to love 'em and now I buy a pack whenever I see 'em in stores :)

I don't really remember those...but they sound familiar...didn't they make gum like that in tiny little squares that looked like mini chicklets, and came in all different colors, not just purple...??? I can't remember the name. I use to love Jolly Racher apple sticks and watermelon sticks too, they were .10 and lasted forever.

Does anyone else remember Black Cows... they were caramel covered in chocolate. I used to get one every time we went to the community pool, and let it lay in the sun...and get it warm, so you could eat it...otherwise it was hard as a rock.

The other thing I miss is Banana popsicles...and they use to make these popsicles that had orange and cherry...but there was also fudgesicles and these banana fudgie popsicles in with them-so they were a 4 flavored variety pack..and they made a Red, White and Blue ice cream, that had little candied white stars in it, and we would smush up our ice cream to make it soft...and make it turn purple...does anyone remember that stuff??

I vaguely remember the black cows, closest thing I've seen in recent history is the cow tail. Same concept except it's about a foot long. One word of advice, don't put them in the microwave to soften them up.....eeeewwwwww  :P

How about Jell-O pops?? I used to love those things too!!
