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! Doc_Holidude

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

Once in a great while.

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.

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.

Royals. They were chocolate/ mint flavored M&Ms.
4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan.

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

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!
