Fond Memories of Sugar

I just spent about 15 minutes reminiscing with a colleague about the junk food we used to eat as kids. Things like Nerds, Popeye Cigarettes, Pixie Sticks, Pop Rocks, Jaw Breakers, these packets of sugar powder that came with a candy stick that you would lick and dip into the flavored sugar, cheap sour gum that you'd chew 20 at a time that game in grape and strawberry. It makes me want to run to a candy store right now and relive the experience. I wonder if they still "make them like they used to"? Man that makes me feel old. Just think if I had saved my weekly allowance instead of spending it all on junkfood. In a way I'm kinda surprised my parents let me do that. Ah the good ole days.

  • What I love are those little gums that you bite into and are full of this fruit jelly (usually strawberry or grape). I also love those yummy pop rocks. Oh yes. Must have them with soda to get the full experience 8)
