Sure, that was an old stand by. There was this sparkling blue gum that reminded me of a planet which I thought to be the ultimate gum ball. It was kind of rare, like the gummi Venus de Milo.Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823269912693006949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483272378351524583.post-574698003902126732018-09-25T20:31:47.749-05:002018-09-25T20:31:47.749-05:00There's always chocolate, Sallie, they may eve...There's always chocolate, Sallie, they may even have it in cases toward the back and some kind of Almond Roca too, not my scene really. I mean there's a lot. My eye usually goes to the penny candy, anything novelty and licorice which is up behind the counter in jars. Reeses Pieces, maybe, although I didn't notice anything so pedestrian like that or Heath Bars. Probably Mallow Cups. I'm after Black Jack Taffy, Chick-o-Sticks, Mary Janes, licorice wheels, anything in the way of Snaps, Goetz's, lipstick candy and the like. <br />Well high end candy, it's really not, but there are more than enough of those around.

Tootsie Rolls will never go out of style, I even have a Tootsie Roll bank. Oh yeah, do you happen to remember Chum Gum? It was the best tasting stuff, cherry flavored I think, never turned into hard shards like baseball gum and you got TWO for a penny. It was a chummy two pack. Ah yes, you've given me another idea for a contest, "What Is Your Perfect Bag Of Penny Candy?"Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823269912693006949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483272378351524583.post-59114977173564441762018-09-21T21:20:56.148-05:002018-09-21T21:20:56.148-05:00Root beer barrels!

I love the two textures they have. I grew up with Sugar Babies and often use them in Easter Baskets. Candy Lipsticks were my jam, LA! Sadly, the kind of chalky cherry kind I grew up with are no more and had been replaced with taffy over the years. I loved them and they actually worked as lipstick. Halloween is probably my fav holiday. I should have some kind of contest and have wax lips as the prize, whaddya think? I'd really like to find the elusive wax harmonica.Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823269912693006949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483272378351524583.post-41311848339434566472018-09-21T19:41:44.157-05:002018-09-21T19:41:44.157-05:00I've been into hard candy more lately because ...I've been into hard candy more lately because I've resisted crunching down on them and there go your teeth.

Ice cream is more of an occasional indulgence for me, but there's a <a href="https://babcockhalldairystore.wisc.edu/ice-cream/" rel="nofollow">drool worthy ice cream store on campus that ruins you for all other ice cream</a>. Right now there are key lime and root beer float flavors I'd love to indulge in. All that Halloween candy makes avoiding it pretty hard. My favorite is the cheapest of the cheap, the evil peanut butter taffy kisses.Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823269912693006949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483272378351524583.post-73496453164468949152018-09-21T19:12:51.755-05:002018-09-21T19:12:51.755-05:00Everyone who walks into this candy store immediate...Everyone who walks into this candy store immediately becomes six-years-old, Brian.
