Missing Some Popular Candies During My Childhood
I remember all of the different types of candy I use to eat as a child. When you think about it, most of us did. We may not eat as much of it now, but we still love it. Lately, I couldn’t help but notice that all of the different candies I use to eat when I was young are not around anymore.
There were so many advertisements and campaigns aimed at all of these different kinds of candies and it seemed like they would always be around. There were advertisements everywhere, all the time to make us aware of these popular candies. Since then a lot of these popular candies aren’t available anymore. Perhaps you will remember some of these classics.
One candy I remember was popular back in the eighty’s. The name of the candy was Bonkers. Although it was oddly named, kids were crazy over the fruity and chewy taste.
Bonkers candy flavors ranged from fruit flavors like strawberry, to chocolate flavored. Oddly enough, shortly after the chocolate flavor was released the bonkers candy become more and more rare on the shelves.
One of the most popular candies from back in the day was Bubble Gum. There was even a Bubble Gum flavor that came in a juice box. This candy is very rare to see around these days.
Unlike today’s gum, the Bubble Gum juice boxes had hundreds of little gum pieces in them. You would have to eat a lot of them to get the full flavor of the gum.
The mars bar was another very popular candy back in the day that you don’t see around now.
However, the Snickers Almond tastes just like the Mars bar. While it may not be the same name, if you try one you will see where I am coming from.
I will always have fond memories of these long lost candy favorites.
