All the sweets I remember from childhood are still sold today, so that's pretty cool. I mostly got chocolate bars like Oh Henry!, 100 Grand, Whatchamacallit, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Skor, Heath, Payday, Reese's Peanut Butter cups and all the other chocolate candy bars. I love gummi bears and gummi worms too.

Answer 5

Candy cigarettes - You'd never find these now. Too politically incorrect I guess. Same goes for the bubble gum - Big League Chew (Sold like a pouch of chewing tobacco).

I also really liked Sugar Daddies & Jolly Ranchers and nearly pulled my teeth out eating them!

Answer 6

I rememern Zotz (filled with baking soda and something, they fizzed in your mouth..so cool) and flying saucers. They were flying saucer shaped, had lots of teenie little ball candies inside them, and you could eat the whole thing. HORRIBLE by the way but so fun. Just like those dots..remember? The candy dots in different colors that were 'glued' on a roll of paper. They were fun to eat but not so much in the tasty department!

Answer 7

Sherbet dips; Five-boy chocolate; gob stoppers; blackjacks; penny chews; things that looked like shoe laces; acid drop spangles;merry maid and also candy coated caramels;
I remember we could not get sweets without coupons. The wartime rationing on sweets was not lifted until about 1953.

Answer 8

Mom would buy each of us kids a can of condensed milk on grocery shopping day. This was almost every two weeks. Pop a hole in the top with a can opener and drink it right outa the can. Most of the time we poured it on a piece of bread.

Answer 9

Sherbit Colas...mmmm and Cola bars, Stingers, Desperate Dan bars, Roy of the Rovers, some of these still around but very hard to find

Answer 10

Bonomo's Turkish Taffy. You slapped the bar down on a hard surface which broke it up into bite sized pieces. The flavors available were chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. It is no longer made.

Answer 11

Little jelly sweets called jelly tots enough colourings in them to send me to the moon and back. They smelt great and kept all the adults away. The other one was popping candy mixed with a fizzy drink. the hard part was putting up with it popping in your mouth afterwards. Messy
