Yep, sure do.
Ya know, when I was a kid we used to walk down to the corner store. In the summer popsicles were a favorite and I remember getting a popsicle that was white in color and tasted like Mountain Dew does today,
No one around here remembers those.  Anyone here?

I remember them, one store used to sell them frozen, but I didn't think they tasted that great.   

The candy I liked as a kid was the flavored powder in the paper straws that were sealed at both ends. (Pixie Stix?) They kind of tasted like what the Sweet-Tarts taste like, but in powder form. One thing you learned fast as a kid, was not to breath in while you have your head tilted back pouring the powder down your throat.

I remember those and the white popsicles. These were a good deal when you didn't have a lot of money.



I remember them being a nickel when all the other chocolate bars were much more. If ya only had a quarter, you could still get your sugar buzz with five of these. They were long too.

As a kid I wasn't picky about candy....and I'm still not with the exception of black licorice. 

My favorites right now though are Mike and Ikes and PayDay Avalanche (chocolate covered PayDay bars)...I love those things. Growing up in Germany I gained a healthy appreciation for Haribo (gummy) products as well.

Recently, I've been on a wicked Turkish Delight kick..
even the Big Turk Candy bar will do, but I've been getting some handmade stuff from a chocolate shop near my kid's work.

I blame those for my ADHD

I used to love the original Mars bar, back before they added the caramel.  Now, I think my favorite is a plain old Hershey bar.  This last March I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, so my treats are few and far between.

Always loved Baby Ruth bars.
