My daughter came home from school today with a pack of fun dip candy and it got me thinking about all the great candy they had when I was a kid. I was just wondering what everyone elses favorite childhood candys were. My top 5 were
1. Candy lipsticks
2. Fun dip
3. Astro pops
4. Razzles
5. Tart N Tinys

What were yours?

mine was fun dip and bit o honey when it came out. It was the late 80's and they had a big advertising push for bit o honey. It came in the Honey nut Cheerios box. Me and my brothers just about rip the top offof the box to get to it ......i think i was about 8 yo...i still love it but its almost impossible to find. I will still take fun dips and eat them at the movies!!

Fun Dips and Astro Pops for me. I also liked the Bomb Pop popsicle that was red, white and blue. Also Necco wafers.

Bit o Honey is my 2nd fav candy. I had to look it up cos I remember it from when I was little. It came out in 1924. In 1984 Nestle took over the company so that is probably what you remember. They used to come in different kinds of packaging. I remember the ones that came in a pack of 6.


Abba-Zaba is my alltime fav candy from my kid days. I found them at Costco recently so I now have a huge box of them.

Candy cigarettes and bubble gum cigars, no I never smoked(lol) Fireballs, Nerds, Blow pops and best of all MALLO CUPS.

My favorite was a candy bar called 7up bar. It was chocolate and had 7 different kinds of candy on the bar like coconut, chocolate, carmel etc.. You can buy old time candy at Hometown favorites. I also liked Flicks, and Teaberry and Beehmans gum.

Zero candy bars
Whistle Pops
Wax bottles
Charleston Chews
Mary Janes
Burnt Peanuts
Sugar Daddy

It was not my favorite candy but my one grandmother always gave us corn candy and JuicyFruit gum. She had lots of grandchildren. I thought she owned the company because that is all she ever gave us.

Ok..you guys are either gonna love me or hate me.....

But anyway...my favorites were:
Jujubees
Necco Wafers
Cinnamon toothpicks
Atomic Fireballs
Jawbreakers


Ok,,..I'm adding my all time favorite thing from when I was a kid...not candy..but close

Man this thread is making me hungry as well as giving me cravings...
I liked wax lips, peanut butter bars, fun dip, sugar daddy...

Does anyone remember a candy, it was like a long stick, crunchy, orange colored and had a peanut buttery taste? It was kinda like a butterfinger but without the chocolate, in a stick form and not as hard. I can't remember the name and would love to order some if I can find it.

jujubees

sugar daddy
sugar babies
candy cigarettes
Beemans and Teaberry gum
chik o sticks
peanut butter bars (those hard but crunchy ones that are white with brown stripes)

Does anyone remember space sticks? There were chewey and chocolate - must have been out at the time of the first walk on the moon.

Yes, Space food sticks but they were really nasty! At least I thought so.
