also just do a search for that candy and it will take you to sites that sell it, that's how I got all the candy for my son's b-day party, I got the candy necklaces,candy lipsticks, pop rocks, bottle caps and astro pops. I got wax fangs for the Halloween party.
I am so glad that you started this Ali, I knew we talked about it before, cause I have been trying to find Wacky Wafers... but I just remembered a candy...and that thread about the Friday night show-Small Wonder is what made me remember it...
does anyone else remember Tiny Tarts...they were in a little bag, and looked like gerbil food???.

oh for the party I had lemonheads, and grapeheads and tangy taffy too.
Does anyone else love Boston Baked Beans????
Does anyone remember the gum that was made to look like a big mac, in a little styrofoam container looking thing?
And the gum that looked like a waffle, that you poured this little packet of syrup on???

I remember a candy store near my house that no longer exixts, sold edible paper and edible styrofoam. I bet that sent the wrong message to children.
I also remember the hot dog shaped gum and cigars. My mom didn't want my sister and I to buy the cigar gum or the candy ciggarettes so we hid them from her.
As for Tiny Tarts, weren't those Willy Wonka cady? I used to love those when I was a kid!
If you go to stupid.com, they have great candy from today and from the past. It's very unique, but be warned that some of it looks really disgusting! Posted by Jessica Rabbit 2 Russian Rabbit (Member # 1904) on :
Sorry Ali, I just copied your idea by accident... 05.12.03.

Haha! It's ok, most of the topics on this board have been done before anyway. Posted by TresFoxy (Member # 542) on :
I remember this gum that came in pop flavors and was juice filled. They had cherry 7 up and Dr. Pepper as some of the flavors. It was soo good. Then ofcourse you have you 80's staples of pop rocks, bottlecaps,and candy jewelery! Posted by Jaymi (Member # 1434) on :
this is for you Ali... Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
Does anyone remember this gum where the pieces weresoft and round and had liquid in the center? I used to love that gum. There was also a caramel chocolate bar that had these mounds but wasn't caramilk. Anyone know the names of these?
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you Jaymi!!!! What a beautiful site! I just love Huba Bubba nd can never find it around here anymore!
That site made my mouth water! Posted by Jaymi (Member # 1434) on :
Ali, I only wish that they still made the original flavor, that was my favorite...
Posted by TresFoxy (Member # 542) on :
Riptide that was exactly the gun I was talking about!!! Wasn't it the greatest!! if they brought that gum back I would practically buy the company out!!! LOL... Maybe the carmel candy was caremello but they still make that candy here in Michigan... Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
My favorite was Pop Rocks. I know TARGET sometimes has hard-to-find candy. Theres a store called CANDY BARON in California that has hard to find candy, and I believe theres actually some websites that specialize in it. Once when I was in California I saw Marathon bars, remember those? I shouldve picked them up.

What about fake cigarette candy. Talk about sending the wrong message. I also remember those sticks that you used to stick in powdered colored sugar. Yummy! It is funny I still remember the awful taste of the bubble gum that was in with baseball cards too.
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
Lick-a-Maid! They still sell that! That's the candy you dipped in the sour cool-aid powder stuff.
I used to buy candy cigarettes and bubble gum cigars. My parents didn't really approve.
*I think I need to buy a dictionary for Xmas....for myself*

Riptide and TresFoxy:
It was called FRESHEN UP! I used to luuuuuv that gum! It came in cinnamon and mint...I'm a mint girl, personally.
I swear, if they do still make it, I'm going to hunt it down and buy a case!
I wonder if these are the really old ones, though...or if they are new and edible?

Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
mmmmmmmmmmm...POP ROCKS!!!!
Posted by isis9968 (Member # 1780) on :
I still buy Freshen Up-it is my all time favorite gum...I get it at this big Candy Outlet place that has all the old stuff, and they have the candy cigarettes too, and the cigarette bubble gum, that you blow on them, and the powder comes out like smoke. Spearmint Freshen-up is my favorite gum. I would love to get the pop gum,those were awesome. (I love Dr. Pepper)
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
Freshen Up! That's it Missie. I too need to obtain my life supply of that. Where else can you find this stuff Isis?
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
was Freshen Up the one with the commercials: "I didnt know....the gum was loaded....." FReshen up...its Loaded...with Flavor! wow, I wasted brain cels remembering that....

All I know is that when I was in Little League I looked just like my Hero George Brett when I put a big dip of BIG LEAGUE CHEW in my mouth. Of course he had chewing tobacco, but the guy behind the counter wouldnt sell me that.
Posted by Jaymi (Member # 1434) on :
Ah yes, Big League Chew....Yummy@!!!!

Favorite 80s Candy....John Candy .
But of the real stuff, I seem to remember us chasing after the ice cream truck for lemonheads and Alexander the Grape.
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :

Ali whats your flavour?
Posted by isis9968 (Member # 1780) on :
Just type in Freshen UP under Yahoo search..I found a website there, cause I bought it over the internet..I'll try finding the exact site again..It wasn't the groovycandies.com but that one is excellent for everything else....You can call information for Altoona, PA for The Blair Candy Outlet, they have it there, it isn't expensive either, it might only be like $5, for box of it.
Posted by isis9968 (Member # 1780) on :
Then I saw they said they had wacky wafers for a limited time at: www.sweetnostalgia.com Then I check it, and they said they were no longer made, so I didn't get it, but they had everything there, and you could buy everything individual. Freshen Up was in 4 flavors, and was .79 a pack.
Check it out!! Makes great Xmas presents!!

I am still waiting for a pic of our favorite cute and fuzzy bunny girl...(ala One Crazy Summer?)
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
I don't have a fav flavor when it comes to gum. That stuff was so sweet I love it all! My email was down for a few days but I got it back up now. I can email you my address or you can email me. I 've been having problems sending emails lately for some reason so I don't know if I can make it work. Posted by Jaymi (Member # 1434) on :

Posted by Jessica Rabbit 2 Russian Rabbit (Member # 1904) on :
We can see who can blow the biggest bubble!!! He He He...
Posted by Samurai Sweetie (Member # 1529) on :
There was this one candy bar I remember eating, and I remember it 'cause it was like a "You've been good" thing, my parents never bought candy regularly, only on "Special" ocassions, well, it was called the "Big Bopper", it was like a 6 inch stick of peanut butter filling(like reeses filling) and was covered in chocolate, and I think it had also that crispy kind of stuff in it too, maybe someone else remembers it?, it came in a silver package, and the name was in neon type lettering, orange surrounded by I think hot pink
I remember it was very yummy Posted by Jaymi (Member # 1434) on :
Chew a whole pack at one time and the bubble should blow out and cover your head...LOL
