Does anyone remember those little pie shaped candies about an 1-1/2" in diam. They were in a round fluted tin and came with a tiny tin spoon. I think it was some kind of fudgy thing, but not chocolate, strawberry or lemon maybe.

How about teaberry gum.

I remember the pie things. Also the long paper strips with rows of hard candy dots.

Have had a Sky Bar recently - still being made but hard to find.

Those strange orange banana peanuts....OMG.
Candy necklaces were fun, taffy, and of course Popeye candy cigarettes!!

only really oldies will remember this one and even I can't remember the name of them. They were breath savers - tiny black square in a tiny box - tasted pretty bad but must've worked. I had a pkg that I found in my OLD stuff and carried them for many yrs then threw them out. What were they called?

there was a small caramel yellow square with peanut butter in the middle.

Bubble gum for a penny. During the war (II) we couldn't get bubble gum, maybe because of the sugar that was rationed, but when the corner store got some in word spread and the store sold it all out within an hour.

Penny candy was great and if you had a nickel every friend you had could share.....

Those little black squares were SenSens, licorice flavor breath fresheners. My dad was a public speaker and politician and always had those handy.

We have a store that carries all kinds of old candy. And SenSen's were there, so were those candy red lips and the wax/liquid things.

This store is great for making candy grams
