Retro Candy Memories
Cindy G., of Jordan, NY remembers: "Holding a nickel in my sweaty hot little hands as I walked to the "little" store a few blocks away. The candy counter was my oyster as I selected anything I wanted!"
Christine M., of Hopatong, NJ reminisces: "I can remember the candy store across the street from school. Once a week we could pick something out as we walked home from school. Each week I tried something new."
Van P., of Fremont, CA reminisces: "I remember back in the days eating retro candy in high school with my friends. We had a bet to see who could eat the most candy bars in 5 minutes and I won! As a result, not only did I win the rest of the candy bars but also a feeling of pride!"
"When I was young, we would walk up to the local convenience store because they sold penny candy! Our favorites however, were the 10 cent Chick-O-Sticks. I think the 'sour candy' craze started when I was young as well - seemed we were always challenging each other with Sour Patch Kids, Warheads, and an assortment of super-sour bubblegum! Thinking back now, it makes me cringe. But my favorite by a landslide... Black Cow suckers! They were always a bit harder to find and they could probably destroy a lifetime of dental work in one afternoon, but so worth it! My mouth is watering now just thinking about those hard caramel pops dipped in chocolate. They don't make them anymore, but I'd give anything to have just one more!" - Stacie I., West Springfield, PA
"My memories is growing up with snickers and peanut butter cups I remember as a child them being 25 cents they were alot of chocolaty ooy gooey goodness and to this day I still love them I have to always have them." - Dawn M., Pawtucket, RI
