didn't zero candy bars have a recall or something, in the late 70's, for having rodent hairs in them?

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.

To be fair, these candies were still around in the 80s even if they didn't debut then

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.

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.

You can still buy this wonderful mouthful of mana.

Using your logic, a 1963 Plymouth Fury that was still on the road in '83........is a "80's" car just because it "was around in the '80's.Attachment Attached File

The garbage Alpine White Nestle white chocolate bar and the garbage commercials for it. Straight trash.

I don't remember a single one from OP post and I was around for every year of the 80s, although I was limited to Alaska and Virginia. I remember the shit out of a lot of the follow-up posts though, like candy cigarettes and pop rocks.

I just told my kids about those cans, with the key to peel the band around the lid open

Saw a number of old candy at Wall drug in SD last month

Beich's plant was local to us.  Used to have an outlet shop where you could buy 1lb bags of broken candy bars for $2.  My favorite was caramel bars and Turtles.

Outlet store went away when Nestlé bought them out.
