I used to love Astro Pops. I think the last time I had one was 1966 or something.

In the 70s, I was big on these.



And these.



I might have to place an order.

Only time I had candy buttons was in church, so I would keep quiet. My dad kept them in his shirt pocket.

Remember how it hurt to poop sometimes when you were little.

Yeah, dad was feeding you real shirt buttons.

Smarties. I eat 3-4 rolls after dinner every day. Love that dextrose (glucose). Best tasting sugar.

Loved these. Not the mini ones. The big jaw breaker size.

Yep. It was 5 cents in the candy vending machine that stood in the hall of our grade school. Different times...........

Wax.

It's useful for firestarting.

Boy that was a nudge to the memory.

I haven't seen those wax bottles in decades.

They're not candy. They're a minimalist product geared toward separating kids from their money.

Candy makers don't  take pride in that creation, only the sale.

Holy shit, Zots!

I loved those.

What was the gum that had a load of fruity jizz in the center? Like one bite and came in your mouth.

Of the 2, it's the wax juice bottles hands down, but...
My favorite of choice back when was the Zero candy bar.
