Absolutely nothing from this list. When I do eat a candy bar it's a caramello, Reeses Nutrageous, or Peanut butter cups typically.. though I also like snickers, butter finger cups, and chocolate peanut buttrer Twix.
I do like "Pop Rocks" which pop in your mouth.

We always liked "Now and Laters" when I was a child growing up. Haven't seen them in decades.

Yeah, that's right - it had $100,00 on the label instead of 100 Grand.
I ran out and bought a Zagnut after reading this thread earlier - yummmm.

Loved buying candy after school 0.1 & 0.5 candy
Jolly Ranchers - individuals were 0.1 and the stick was 0.5
Pixie Sticks were 0.5
Bazooka Joe individual were 0.1
Candy necklaces that had an elastic band and round circle candy - later they're bracelets like this.
