I really miss P.B. Max!
That brand of candy bar was the best type of Chocolate/Peanut Butter Combo, followed by Reeses.
I dont know what happened to them, but it would be interesting to find out.
What are some types of discontinued Candy, Drinks, Etc that you all miss?
(For a Side note: Peanut butter may taste ok on burgers, but is kind of odd on steaks.)
I miss penny candy. Yes, I am old enough to remember penny candy.
Those sound familiar. What where they like?Quote:

At Circle K I remember getting them from the bottom racks of the candy section. They would sort of be in these small bins. I still have dreams about that believe it or not.Quote:

Gotta Love Pixie Sticks!
i miss crystal pepsi. and i remember penny candy at teh circle k. the bazooka bubble gum and the little laffy taffys. anybody else remember the giant sweetarts? the chewy ones? and i can't find charleston chews any where. not even the strawberry ones.
Oh, Charleston chews are around, just like Moon Pies. Where I live we have all the things you listed above. I wonder if it's some type of marketing thing.Quote:

Adams Sour chewing gum
Dont remember the company that made them...but the rootbeer flavored bottle caps....They were great...
And those Wax Bottles that had The flavoured Syrup in them...
http://www.oldtimecandy.com/enter.htm
This is a website you can order candy from and you can get some of the old candy...
Clearly Canadian® soda (still made but I haven't seen it in years), Snapple Natural Sodas® (discontinued), candy cigarettes (still made but difficult to find)
When I was younger, I used to eat the Wax part also, since my family told me to, but I doubt that that could have been too healthy
Ya know there's old time good candy and bad-candy.com too.
Cola Bubble Gum
It was bubble gum with a liquid center that was flavored like Coka Cola or Dr Pepper
the bazooka bubble gum and the little laffy taffys.
They sell those over here... very common
You can get candy cigarettes in the uk still, but they are officially 'candy sticks'. they all have hyper anti smoking names like 'attack!'. you have to see this packaging. my favourites have to be 'Old Toad' but unfortunatly you only get 8 in a box. no fair.
They sell those chocolate cigarettes, but have names like Manhattan instead of marlboro and all tose brand names changed, but not too anti-smoking, i still eat those...
Yep, standin' at the bus stop in winter with a candy cigarette. I convinced a bunch of Mormon kids once that I was actually smoking, to their shock and awe.Quote:

Exactly. When I was a kid I would dress up like a hobo or Groucho Marx and my mother would buy my three from a costume shop called the display house. Later, I would use the pink ones suggestively and be in awe of the neon green ones. Strangely, I never "smoked" a brown one :fruit:Quote:

Does anyone remember the super mario bros soda that came in tiny cans?
i do! what about Slimer Hi-C? that nasty green that matched the ghostbusters little buddie...
K
yeah that hi c was awesome i think it was called ecto cooler and it was orange flavored even tho slimer was green
They still sold that at Kroeger's last time I checked , but that was a while ago.
I don't think they had those round 'bout my way. If they had caffeine, they were a perfect accompaniment to Super Mario Brothers, along with Pot, Meth and Crack (if you're from the 80s, when we used to cook it in our attics, not basements, thank you very much).Quote:

That reminds me...I don't know why...of Beetlegeuce and Zagnut. Anyone had one of those?
i have had a zagnut bar. does any one else remember the little honey candies that were filled with "milk"? i think they were either called bumblebees or Milk and honey drops... some thing like that. they're another one of my fave candies that i have to drive like 45 mins away to find...
K
I could send you some boxes if u want...Quote:
