Remembering Several Great Candies
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had a soft spot for candy. All kinds and flavors, it didn’t matter as long as it was sweet and interesting. When I think of the ones that I loved growing up, I’m surprised to realize that many of them can’t be found in stores these days.
They used to be mainstays in candy stores, pharmacies, and grocery stores, but they seem to be gone and out of reach these days. Let’s take a look at some of the more enjoyable candies from the past that no longer seem to exist.
Bonkers were huge in the mid ’80s. Their commercials were everywhere on TV, and kids loved these candies. Chewy, fruity, and somewhat creamy all at once, these were a lot of fun to eat.
These were really enjoyable and came in flavors like watermelon, grape, and even chocolate. They disappeared quickly in the ’80s, before making a surprise return to the scene during the late ’90s and then fading yet again. I haven’t seen these in stores in years.
Juice box bubble gum. You’ll probably remember these if you were around in the ’80s. These came in mini juice cartons, and they came in flavors like orange and grape.
The gum came in the form of small pellets, and people would essentially sip it from the box as if they were drinking juice. They would chew it from there, of course.
Mars bars. These were a really big one not too long ago, but they no longer exist. Where are they? The Mars company is still around, so where did these go?
The Mars bar still exists, only they call it Snickers almond. There wasn’t much of an announcement made when this happened, but you’ll notice that the ingredients are the same should you happen to try one.
This all brings back memories, doesn’t it? Any others that you can think of?
