Mine used to be Hubba Bubba Bubblegum. But I've pretty much quit eating candy about 10 years ago. Very rarely will I eat any. The only kind I'll eat these days are M & M's. But very rarely.

Not good for your teeth, not good for your waistline (your weight), and not good for your skin either (makes you breakout; pimples and acne).

Butter Nut and Zero Bars were probably my favorites.

Love skybars and use to get them in San Francisco in the 50's.
You can still find them at Cracker Barrel. Don't seem to taste as good to me anymore.
Loved U-No candy bars but can't find them anywhere now.

Can anyone tell me if they know if the Big Boogie bar is available anywhere now? Or can someone obtain a recipe for one.

I loved those candy lipsticks! Heck, on my way to school every morning, my friend and I would stop at the little (what once was) ma-and-pa store and spend our lunch money on that, and those 'Fizzies' tablets. Those were so cool!

You may remember the Marathon candy bar from the 1970s. Chocolate and twisted caramel. "It lasts a good long time."
