well, Milkshake has been discontinued. Guess I knew that.

what was that candy called that was clear, came in a weird shape that I can only think to describe as small square grapes bunches?

It was just sugar basically-no flavors.

Milkshake was a excellent candy... Only think I can think of is Rock Candy.. now comes in some booze bottles as a gimmick.

While watching the TV news this morning and seeing all the closings running across the bottom. I thought about the old days when there was no TV and certain radio stations read the closings and delays.
