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!

What about tic tacs?

I get orange tic tacs often

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

California dreaming and living in the past.

Chick O Sticks are hard to find.


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.

Talk about a let down….


That Zebra stripe gum…..


Flavor lasted about 1/2 a second.

😂😂😂😂😂

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.

Royals. They were chocolate/ mint flavored M&Ms.

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

I remember Chick O Sticks, but was never into em. Has been a while since I seen any!

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.

LOL on the perfect Zebra Stripe review!

Teal, I remember those little dots! Ain’t seen them in about as long as the Dynamints!

But gawd.....what a half second it was!

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

GatorGum.

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!

Brach's round mints, big as a nickel at least twice as thick. White, not hard candy. Wish I could find them.

Local Fred’s dollar store had the bulk Brachs buy by the pound.

Pure sugar by the pound. 😂😂😂

Mars bars…

Good root beer barrels by the scoop in a paper sack.

Brach’s and Mars bars! More good blasts from the past! Ain’t seen a 5th Avenue candy bar in a store around here for a while either now that I think about it.

I think the local Honkey Bucket has root beer barrels in the candy section.

WTH?

John, is that you?

Lose your PW?

and yeah, a root beer barrel is not a bad thing.

Candy cigarettes.
