80s and 90s candy/snacks

My dad used to bring us chocolate cigarettes he bought at the airport when he came home from business trips in the 1960s.

It's easy to get them. I buy them all the time at Walmart.


7-11 also has them

I’ve noticed chunky bars are available again, but they dont’ taste as good as they used to.

Oh come on, play along. What are some favorites??


Goldenberg Peanut Chews


Hello, fellow Philadelphian! I remember seeing huge billboards for Goldenberg Peanut Chews. Loved getting them in my bag on Halloween!

Anyone remember the whachamacalit commercials? I sing the name to my kids when we see them with the other candy at CVS.

Wait, those aren't Canadian? Hah. I grew up with them and Mr. Big and just assumed they were Canadian! You can get them easily in Canada, still.

This might be too specific, but I loved the caramel bars that we had to sell for fundraising. I'm 99% sure the brand was Nestle, and they had milk chocolate, crisp, almond and caramel. But the caramel was nothing like Caramello bars, which were way too gooey and messy. These caramel bars were just so good. Sweet and thick caramel. Never been able to find them again.

I used to love Nestle Choco-Lite bars. Don't think they're around anymore.
