Oh my gosh, Zero bars! I used to looooove those. Your post prompted me to look online and, sure enough, they have them on Amazon. The packaging is different but, even setting that aside, I'm sure that they're not the same as in the "good ol' days."
Remember the candy "cigarettes"? Those certainly would not be acceptable in today's society! I grew up in a time when more people smoked than didn't, and I remember us kids with those candy cigarettes acting cool!
Let the little nipper pretend he's grown up; and what's more grown up than smoking a cigarette?
I guess one item you can't eat is OK, Jeris hair tonic. It was once found in every barber shop. Now you can hardly find a barber shop. They carry others as well.
