I realize that for some of you, this won’t be much of a stretch. I go back pretty far, so try to fool me by naming real products you think I may not have heard of. Even if they don’t make them anymore. This should be fun. I’ll start things off with Bonomo’s Turkish Taffy, Zero Bar, Hollywood Bar, Blackjack chewing gum, Mike Ike’s, jujubes, sen-sen. Okay, your turn…….

My mother made Oklahoma Brown Honey Candy every Christmas—when she died in 1986, she took the recipe with her.
My dad’s mother stuffed dates with walnuts and confectioners sugar. My all-time favorite snack (to this day) is to pop popcorn in olive oil with a touch of rosemary, then sprinkle with a really good parmessan cheese=======sounds good, get out of the kitchen I’m headed in.
oh yeah , Blackjack gum!! Good ‘n’ Plenty,Pixie Sticks,Bit’o honey, slowpokes,wax pop bottles , wax lips mustaches, rock candy.
There was a chew candy bar that had diffrent flavors , i think it was called Seven —-? i loved them !
there was a gum that tasted like perfume , it was nasty but the package looked good so i would buy , then remeber it when i tasted it … yeck
I remember mom giving us a dime and we would walk to the corner store and get a lil bag full of candy.
Wow, this could be fun….Sugar Daddy, Sugar Babies, Sky Bar, Necco Wafers, Dots, Salt Water Taffy, Chiclets, Wrigley’s Fruit Stripe Gum, Almond Roca (still have to buy that…), Peppermint Gob Stoppers, Almond Joy (sometimes you feel like a nut….) Horehound Drops, Junior Mints, Spruce gum…same era as Blackjack and then up to Pop Rocks. I have some even more special candy related memories as my Dad worked for James O Welsh Candy Company out of Mass. which became part of Nabisco for over thirty five years, so this has been a real walk down memory lane for me. Have a great night!
There used to be a hard candy made by Brach’s called Sparkles. This was in the 70s. They made all different flavors. My brother and I still miss them! Our favorites were green apple and watermelon. Also loved Zots, Jolly Rancher Fire sticks, Astro pops, Teaberry gum, and freshen up gum. Thanks for the memories!
