1970s-1980s Halloween candy

[Anonymous]

I didn’t care for them but small boxes of good and plenty

I gave away all this stuff last year! The parents especially loved it. There is a vendor on Amazon that sells 80s candy.

Lions Club candy was so cheap & terrible that I remember as a kid, us kids having fights throwing it at each other while trick or treating. No one ate it.
The next morning it was all over sidewalks and front lawns.

There was a 100 Grand candy bar that had peanuts, chocolate, and caramel. Is that what you're thinking of?

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?

These till exist in the large multipacks and sometimes I find them sold by themselves.

Thanks to whoever corrected me about the crunchy things not being peanuts! I gave up buying 100 Grand bars in order to save for a pony at age 10. It was indeed a sacrifice!

This is a fun thread.

Abba Zabbas: white taffy bars with peanut butter inside.

Jolly Rancher sticks. Lemon and green apple.(Thinking about the green apple is making my mouth water.)

Taffy pieces and caramel squares.

Small packs of lifesavers, with like 5 in the pack.

Necco Wafers, Pixie Sticks: did not eat these, though.

Pop rocks, gobstoppers, warheads, those orange pumpkins that were made out of candy corn, those strawberry candies with a gooey center in the foil strawberry wrapper, Kraft cellophane wrapped caramels

Not candy, but popcorn balls!
I saw them in Giant today and was tempted.
