Childhood Candy! What would you bring back?

[Deadshort480]

THIS!! THIS!! THIS!! I loved me some Bonkers!!

Old school big Everlasting Gobstoppers that came in a single cellophane wrapper like Jawbreakers that changed every flavor and color.

Tart N' Tinys. The hard ones, not the chewy shit they have today.

Bubble Yum used to have an awesome Red Raspberry that they don't make anymore.

Tangerine flavored and the mixed berry flavored versions of Dorval Sour Power strings.

Not really a candy, but what the fuck happened to Fruit Roll-Ups?! They used to be actual fruit flavors that were made with and tasted like the actual fruit they were. Apricot, apple, strawberry, grape, and cherry are the most memorable to me. They used to have actual pieces of the fruit in the roll. What happened?

I used to love the commercials

Remember when they had the ugly ball give away?

Ugly Ball? I thought thems were Mad Balls? I miss the 80's so much.

Ugly Ball? I thought thems were Mad Balls?

I think there were two kinds out at that time, no? I can't remember...all I know, is I wanted the whole set badly.

Edit: Now that I think about it, you are probably right. Calling a toy "Ugly Balls" seems like bad marketing. lol

I never got all of them either. I had the Mummy, the Eyeball, the green guy with his eye hanging out, and the cyclops.

Those and garbage pail kids were on the top of my collectors list in those days.

I still have a shit ton of GPK cards.

I'm still bitter about the kid who stole my whole collection.

I'm pretty sure I bought most of that crap. Wasted allowance week after week. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Alexander The Grape is now Grapeheads. Razzles, Rock Candy, and Chunky can all be found at a real good candy shop.

Do to all the candy I ate as a kid I guess I would like to bring my teeth back the most.

Not really. denture work fine after you get used to them. 20 hours a day no thought.
