What was your favorite candy when you were growing up?

I just read the previous post and I don't think that they even had sour patch candy when I was a kid- now I'm really dating myself! Do you remember those little colored sugary dots that came on strips of paper? I don't know what they were called, but they were all lined up in rows? I loved them! Also pixie sticks (especially grape). I don't know if they're still around, because I avoid the candy aisle at the store these days. Oh, one last thing- those little wax things that you broke off the top and they had that sweet syrupy stuff inside? Those were great, also.

I loved swedish fish I still do to this day, but they are so hard to find. Just thinking about them makes me want some. Another favorite of mine was Bonkers no too many people remember those though.

Gosh I am so old I can't even remember all te different kinds of candy we had. I think I liked the candy necklaces though. I do remember we could get a dime from our grandfather and go to the corner store and buy a whole number 2 bag full of candy. Some it cost like 2 for a penny. Now I feel real old!

mine was anything like a kit kat or any candy of candy bar.

My favorites were Fun Dips and Whachmacallits. Oh yeah, Lemonheads.

Growing up I absolutely loved Sour Patch Kids ... even as an adult now I absolutely love Sour Patch Kids! : )

It was a czechslovakien chokee called Deli, it was the same like now the MARS I liked very much the black liquorice,

I loved Black jacks and Fruit Salad chews as they were only half a penny, which no longer exists. Also, Curly Whirley's and bazooka bubble gum that came in a long strip. One of my all time favourites that my kids love is a Drumstick, full of sugar, rots your teeth and puts you on a high for a few hours, What more could a kid want!!!!

Okay I was thinking I had lost my mind...but I found the flying saucer candy, it's also called "satellite candy. I was reading the memories left by others.. I forgot all about how we as kids would eat the beads and then use the wafer as communion playin "church"...lol http://www.oldtimecandy.com/satellite-wafer.htm

For some reason..which I've never figured out.. my favorite when I was around 6 was these little flying saucer shaped wafer with little tiny candy beads inside. I have no idea what they were called. We just called them flying saucers..lol I also had a thing for Bonomo Turkish Taffy and Sugar Daddies.

I had a sweet tooth growing up. I always loved those pixie sticks filled with that sweet and tangy powder. Another fav was MacIntosh Toffee. I came in a bar and pulled out teeth and fillings while you chewed it. You can still get those marshmallowy bananas, I even got my kids addicted to those. oops! I still buy them when I can find them.

Mallow cups...made by boyer...you know they are still around

I absolutely loved those sour gummi worm things. Any brand would do. Heck I still get them whenever I get the chance now. Sour patch kids would definitely have to be a close second though. Those things are seriously addicting for me. But I ate pretty much any gummi candy I could get my hands on.

DOTS. Me and my cousins loved DOTS. I'm not talking about those gummy ones you can buy at the movie theaters. LOL im going to show my age now. Im talking about those sugar made colored dots that they use to drop on a piece of like white wax paper and you had to run them under the water to get them off the paper. That was i think one of my favorites. That and Non-Peralise if i spelled that correctly. LOL I noticed you haven't approved my friend's request. I'd really like to be your friend.

When I was a kid I was crazy for Pez. (I think it was the cute little dispensers more than the candy, lol.) Whenever I see one of the old Pez dispensers I'm immediately taken back to my childhood.

All of them, unfortunately!!! OK, here's the ones I can remember: Milky Way Snickers Hershey's anything Caramello's Peanut butter cups Fun dip Candy necklaces Lollipop rings Pez Twix Snicker's Baby Ruth Watchamallits (sp??) Spree Sugar Daddy Sugar Babies Nerds I'm sure there's more, but I just can't remember

Ohh I was a candy junkie when I was a kid. We had a little market a few streets over from my street and in the summer I would raid the penny jar and walk down there to buy a bag of candy. I loved all the candy! Abba-Zabba's, Chik-o-Sticks, Wax Bottles, Rootbear Barrels, Mary Janes, Bit o' Honey, M&M's, Milky Ways, Snickers, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Twix, Hershey's with Almonds, Fruit Chews, Laffy Taffy, Boston Baked Beans, Lemonheads, Junior Mints, Milk Duds, Mike-N-Ike's, Sugar Daddy's, Sugar Babies, York Peppermint Patties, Baby Ruth's, Rollo's, Jaw Breakers, Raisinettes, Goobers, Tootsie Rolls... the list could go on forever! I wasn't picky but I remember when the sour stuff first came out with those Sour Patch Babies and the Garbage Pail Kids - I'm not a sour candy kind of girl so I never liked those.

My fave is a Tootsie Roll. I grew up eating those thing, but when I moved to New Zealand I couldn't get them down there. Now I'm back in Canada they are my fave again :)

I used to love those horrible wax lips and wax soda pop bottles that had juice inside. You could chew on the wax too, it had some flavor.

hershey's almond kisses.... i can still have loads of em...
