Things from your childhood

[69 Runner]

Let's start something new/old here.

I was just on the phone and during the conversation I remembered something I used to enjoy ingesting when I was a kid.

Anyone else remember these??

I found them (and a lot of other vintage candy/stuff) here:

Dont remember those, but how about Pop Rocks.

I havent looked for a long time or seen ads, but do they still make Life Savers?

How about those Rice candies where you ate the whole wrapper.

Lots of Pop Rocks on the site I listed. Also jujubees, Sugar Babies, Blow Pops, and even wax lips :rolling:

We filled a teacher's swimming pool up with grape fizzies back in 1969.

My favorite as a kid was Pixie Sticks, which were basically paper tubes filled with colored sugar with a touch of flavor added. I think you could almost listen to your teeth decaying while eating them

You can get those at that site as well

Around 25 years ago my pothead brother's son was sucking on a candy cigarette and holding his breathe like it was a joint. His mom said "what are you doing?" He said "smoking like dad." Mom looks at dad in discust and says "that will be the end of that."

Tab and Fresca.....
Do they still make Russian salad dressing?

I know when Mythbusters started, they did a thing on Pop Rocks and Coke.
So, I am guessing they are still around....

That was a God Awful Drink... My Aunt use to drink those and the early Dite Rite Drinks were worse.

What was the candy that you could dip into a pouch of powder? That was my favorite. It was a candy stick or spoon or something. Then you dipped it into 3 different flavored powders, or you could just ingest the powder alone. Good times.
:yes:

That would be "Dip 'n Stix" that you are talking about.
I just remembered there was another candy of the same style called "Lick 'em aid"
