When my eldest brother got a job when he was in high school, he would occasionally buy a pack of Yipes Stripes gum for me. I loved that stuff.

187 posts in this thread so far and only one other person has mentioned PEZ (#56).

The PEZ company is alive and well.

Ooooooo, I liked PEZ! Partly for the candies but let’s face it: mostly for the neat character-dispensers.

Wow, can't believe PEZ hasn't been mentioned until now!

Correction: I didn't mean KitKat (candy bar); I meant Kits (the four squares of taffy).

I loved Zero bars, too; they were different! Are they still around?

My new and current favorite is Squashies, made in the US by Smarties and in the UK by Swizzles (Drumstick). Brits, is that a childhood candy for you? I can't find them here...

I used to read "Peanuts" books voraciously, and in them, the gang was always walking around with a white paper bag of candies. Must be where they got them, too!

Can't find those anywhere! I almost bought a "Sweet Storybook" (we always got those in our Christmas stockings) this season, but looked inside and was disappointed to find they were only half the rolls, and all were "assorted." Not a butter rum among them! Still love butterscotch disks, but butter rum was better.

Liked the gold rush bag of gum and also the little mini-chiclets.
