I was thinking back to my Halloween candy as a kid. There was a lot more variety. Less chocolate but here is what’s missing nowadays
Chiclets Gum of any kind but especially double bubble and rainblow Black and orange square shaped crinkley see thry packs that had black and orange cinnamon hot circle candies Candy corn in the same packages above 3 peices to a pack SweeTarts in paper packages 3 to a pack Rectangle taffy on a stick. I remember the flavors were vanilla strawbeeey chocolate and banana Slim Jim taffy. Paper wrapper I remember green apple flavors kinda like a now n layer but chewy What am I missing? |

| Green apple gum. The best. Bottle Caps. But I also remember getting a shit ton of lollipops which was disappointing so that’s an improvement |

I grew up in Canada, and it was way more popular there than here to hand out the super mini bags of potato chips. Those were always a win.

BBBatts were the best. I would give $100 if someone could let me know where they are still sold. The strawberry are legit amazing. |
