      Even as a kid, never cared for Marathon. Too hard to chew so I would just flake the chocolate off and eat that, the rest was too challenging. To this day, I dislike chewy caramel but my childlike sweet tooth has remained intact.

    I miss penny candy. For the young people that have no idea what I’m talking about: on the bottom shelf were individual wrapped pieces of candy that were one penny each. There were a variety of flavors that you could mix and match. After school, while walking home, we would stop by the convenience store and buy some penny candy. This started in the first grade.

      I remember when something similar similar to chik o stix was called "Chicken Bones"--presumably because of their yellowish color and the way they would splinter when you bit into them. They were tasty, but that name was quite a turn-off..."Chik o stix" is much more appetizing.

You could only buy this whenever a school, church or social club was having a fundraising event. The candy was in a round tin box that you opened with an attached key, it was named Katydids it was chopped pecans and caramel with a milk chocolate coating. Have a fantastic weekend. Take care 🐎

    Chicken Dinner was named this way as a promotion that eating one of these was like having a meal. This was during the depression, and Hershey was promoting Mr. Goodbar as a meal replacement candy bar. Since the candies were roughly 5 cents, people could afford it over an actual dinner. The show Food that built America covers this in season 1.

      I remember when Bazooka bubble gum came in a tube, but you couldn't blow bubbles with it, and you ended up swallowing it.
      There was also "Phony Baloney", bubble gum shaped and packaged like baloney. It was sold at Begley's drug store back in the 1980s along with Black Cows, which were hard dark caramel all day suckers covered with chocolate. Yum! They have been reincarnated as Reisen chocolates.

    How the times have changed. That Brach's display at 00:23 used to be a staple of supermarkets; if we were lucky, we could get a bag as our parents shopped, but that was usually out of the budget. The Neapolitan coconut candies were a favorite in my household.
    While some places we'd visit would have the old-timey penny candies (usually gift shops in places like Harper's Ferry), the 5-cent Bazooka Joe gum and candies were still common at 7-Elevens in the '80s. Saving our lunch money could get us a Pepsi and a small bag full of candy.
    On a military note, the Mars Bar that was packaged in early (brown bag) MREs wasn't bad. It was just a solid chunk of chocolate and was often chalky colored by the time I ate them (late-'90s, most were five-plus years old by then). I recall getting some M&Ms in MREs that had '92 Summer Olympic promo codes. While not candy, the dehydrated fruit was pretty good either reconstituted or eaten dry like a candy bar.
    For throwback candies, Tractor Supply has a decent selection, and I just noticed that my employer (Bass Pro Shops) has a candy display that seems to have some older brands.

    I miss those Brachs candy displays in stores where you bagged it yourself. Also Bonkers, raspberry gum and various other gum flavors, as well as early 80s novelty candy.

      Some stores let you put a quarter in a box and take a sample piece of candy and eat it right away.

    I ❤ Nestle Alpine White!! Check out their crazy commercial here on YT...VERY '80s. And I also ❤️Bar None...it was so good!!
    Anyone remember Ghirardelli Flicks? They were chocolate drops that came in different colored cylinder packaging. We always got them at either the movies or the drive in theatre 😍🍫
