Shopping at Ala Moana Longs I noticed Colored Puff Rice candy. I stopped and paused looking in disbelief at this scrumptious delightful candy from my youth!
I glanced at it, picked it up and gingerly held the package of Colored Puff Rice. Memories of childhood flavors one of them, colored puff rice, brought a huge smile to my face.
Happily, I stood in line to pay for my retro colored puff rice. The cashier was my age, "oh how nostalgic" she said swiping my package. Yes, I said smiling till I left Longs, that day. How about you, any retro finds recently?

Puffed rice is still famous in India and most Indians like it. We have different ways of taking it. I take it with with roasted peanuts, raw onions and few drops of mustard oil.
