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.
