Anyone here remember a candy or snack from your younger years that ain’t around any more?

My all time favorite was Fruit Dynamints. I was absolutely soul crushed when Dentyne stopped
making them!!! So fruity, so good…then so long!

Tic Tacs are good, but these dang fruit Dynamints were better than any Tic Tac flavor…past or present! 😎

Mary Janes (not the kind you toke).
Seemed like dad always had a bag of them in his truck.

Chick-O-Sticks are common here in the Midwest. One of my favorites.

Some of the Farm and Fleet stores still sell bags of those around here. I get a bag once in a blue moon.

Used to be you could still get those candy dots - looked like little nubs on a long CVS receipt. Been a while since I saw them. Ate more paper than a chit house rat but that's one from being a kid I don't think is still around.

After the Double Mint Twin thread, I can see Dynamints missed the marketing opportunity by not going with sexy girl triplets! smile

One store here that makes a bijillion flavors of fresh popcorn here has a lot of “ol timey” candy. I think they sell Mary Janes there. I always liked them.

North 40 Outfitters up here has a fair bit of "vintage" candy including Chick O Sticks.

GatorGum! Forgot about that! Not sure if it helped rehydrate me…think it had the opposite effect. Drooled from chewing it and actually got more thirsty!
