Recalling Candy I Ate As A Kid

There used to be an old time candy store in downtown Coeur d’Alene on Sherman Avenue. I miss it. They had everything! Hard to find candies that we can’t find locally anymore. Stuff from the 1920’s, 30’s, and so on. Stuff like…

Wax Lips, Abba-Zaba bars, Sassafras drops, Candy Buttons on paper tape, Kits, Wax Syrup Bottles, Bonomo Turkish Taffy, BB Bat and the list goes on and on.

I remember walking through one hot summer day and watching a mom and dad wrangle their 4 kids with high-pitched screams and enough hands to make a rugby team jealous. Those kids were wild. And cute. I admired the talent of the youngest (probably 4 yrs old at the time) as she proceeded, with exact precision, to wrap her daddy around her little finger. In the matter of seconds she had a 10 pound bag of sweet deliciousness clutched in hand and perched herself atop her daddy’s shoulders. That kid was good !/ ilovecda.com . More here .

Question: Can you think of a candy that you ate as a kid that’s no longer around?
