Does anyone remember Bonkers? The 2 flavors...one was on the outside and one was on the inside?
I LOVED them!!

Thanks maybeamommy - I was trying to think of things to cut back on - I kind of want to keep Big League Chew - so I'll just do that and Fruit Stripe.

I used to LOVE Atomic Fireballs... we would have contests in 5th grade to see who could keep it in their mouths the longest.

what about the charms lollypops? I hardly ever see those anymore and they were my favorite!

I was also obsessed with these blue candies that came in a blue tin (kind of like the altoids tin) they turned your whole mouth blue but they were amazing and have no idea what they were called

Re: Attn: 30 yr olds - candy you ate as a kid...

Anyone remember those candies, like candy cigarettes (OMG, as if they would be ok for kids to run around with now!!)....they were the same texture as a candy cigarettes but softer...and they were rectagular and you could snap them in half?

I know I am explaining them terribly. Does anyone recall what I am talking about?

I recall this!!!

ANyone recall the gum that the ice cream man would have called

BIG BLO? They were hard on the outside (kind of like a blowpop) and gum on the inside? They were a light pink candy with a white/green and pink wrapper. I LOVED these and was thinking about them the other day. They had such a GOOD flavor!

Go to:
Bobb Howard's General Store at:

581 Lakeville Rd
New Hyde Park, NY

They sell ALL of the old school candy that everyone is listing. It is right next to their auto repair store.

What about the red licorice rolls? LOVE these...God what was the name of them? You could buy a pack of them (4 I think in a pack) and they had a yellow wrapper.

When I pass this place, I always hate that the sign says "Old Candy". IChat Icon when I read that....I would prefer it said...old time candy or something!!

DId you know if you eat Neccos in the dark, the white ones will make a spark when you crunch on them? It's true!

I was told this when I was in Boston on a Duck tour (the Necco company is there on the tour). So we bought them and tried them and it worked!!! Try it out.

Wintergreen lifesavers will do the same.

Re: candy, what about Bottlecaps, the lipsticks from the ice cream man; Swedish Fish & Volcano Rocks (although if you find them/it, let them know...this was pre-Nerds, but sorta the same concept)

Thank YOU!! I was hoping to go local and give a local business my money - not a website.

Thanks so much!
