It may have been spelled Zapps. I remember the vending machine in the girls gym had them in Junior high so we'd sneak over and buy them. Yes, I was too young to know I was supposed to be sneaking over there for eye candy and not real candy. ETA: Zaps |

I loved those damn things. Don't know why, but I got them all the time. I'd ride my bike to the little store. Get some of those, a pack of Topps Baseball cards, a rag bologna sadnwich, a cheap ass soda (Bubba Cola I think) and be in virtual heaven. |

My favorite back in the day was Spree candy. They still make it, but it just doesn't seem to taste quite as good as it did back then. I can't figure out if that's because they changed the recipe, or if my taste buds changed. likely due to HFCS, it ruined alot of good candy...and soda |

They're baaaaaack.... I watched a LOT of movies in the 70's with a big soda, a popcorn and a roll of these guys. http://www.mypartyplanner.com/common/d_images/products/00/05/26/image_337560.jpg Came to post these, they making em again? Hmm....I may have to give em a shot, as long as there is no HFCS... “Flicks Candy” is a chocolate flavored treat that has been around for over 100 years. It was originally developed by the Ghirardelli family in the late 1890’s, but wasn’t called “Flicks” until 1904. It was produced in San Francisco, and then later in San Leandro up until 1989. By that time, the machinery that produced Flicks had been continually operating for nearly 100 years, it had been damaged in its move to San Leandro, and replacement parts were no longer available, as the equipment’s manufacturer had been out of business since World War II. For these reasons, production of Flicks Ceased in 1989.
In 1963, William Tjerrild, son of Danish and Swiss immigrants, went to work for Nestle’s Chocolate as a mechanical engineer and learned the art of manufacturing confections and chocolate. After Nestle’s, William worked for various confectioners until developing his own manufacturing company that specialized in fabricating chocolate and nut processing machinery. In 1988, William’s son, James Tjerrild came to work at the family business. Growing up in California, James loved eating Flicks at the theater, and sorely missed the product when production ceased in 1989. So, in 2004 the Tjerrild family acquired the Flicks trademark, and in 2005, acquired the original decommissioned production equipment that produced Flicks for nearly 100 years. Originally built in Racine, Wisconsin in the late 1890’s or early 1900’s, the equipment was painstakingly dismantled, relocated, and reconstructed in Fresno, California by the Tjerrild family’s machinery company. Now Flicks are again being produced in Fresno, California. Please click the link below to take a virtual tour of our factory. |

It was called Lik-M-Aid before they changed the name to Fun Dip. It also didn't have the stick...had to use your fingers. There was a local grocery store that sold bulk candy by the pound, they had 55 gal barrels of the sticks....most broken but damn, those are the best part of the candy. |

I remember Lick M Aid, dont remember Fun Dip.
Do they still make Bazooka Joe bubble gum? They were two cents a piece, then in the late eighties I think they started making flavors like grape and sour apple, 5 cents each. I even saved the cartoons that came in them. |

Warheads, zotz, and chilly willy's
I had to special order warheads. I finally got them in for the kids. |

Pixie Sticks. A straw full of sour powder.
I never could understand the love of sour candy. |

That petrified stick of gum that came with a pack of Topps or Fleer baseball cards, football cards, etc. It was probably better not to eat it, but I always did.

In the little league baseball dugout, Big Leage Chew, Warheads, and Guys Nuts sunflower seats were packed into the cheek. It was required that you spit at least 5 times between the "on deck" circle and the batter's box. Usually better if you spit while knocking the dirt from your cleats and staring down the pitcher. good times as a kid. |
