Found this in a rural gas station in northern MI a couple of years ago, was shocked to see them for sale to the public…. This is the candy equivalent of sending your kid to school and handing out Mein Kampf if he gets caught with them:

I remember those having a small hole with some sorta powder inside. When you blew through them "smoke" would come out the end.

I have never eaten much candy, but I was working a lot of swing and graveyard shifts (as well as double shifts if someone sicked out) and used to keep cases of Jolt soda around. "All the sugar and twice the caffeine!" and they weren't kidding.

1976 when I was four.

I remember specifically the first time I had Fruit Stripe gum.  At the first house I lived in when I met the neighbor girl for the first time, she made home made bubbles out of Palmolive and water and gave me a stick of Fruit Stripe Gum.  We blew bubbles and chewed that gum.

it was 1976, because her and her family moved out and my best childhood friend and still a friend to this day, moved in in 1976.  

You know how smells bring you back?  Well, the smell of Palmolive and Fruit Stripe gum is very nostalgic to me.

Want some more 70s and 80s nostalgia?  Check this Pinterest out. 70s and 80s

And here's the gum.

I thought these were candy bullets as a kid but, they were actually candy lipstick.  This stuff is probably more 70’s candy,

In this thread we find out that 87% of GD doesn't know shit about what candies appeared in the 80's.

Over half the candy/gum/snacks in this thread existed in the 1960's.

But I don't want to, because it saddens me.  

I wish I could go back in time to the bicentennial year, even at 4 I remember it.  Red, white and blue everywhere, people loved this country and it was a great country.  Still the best country, but how far it's fallen.
