Just for fun: Favorite Old-Time Candies

[Anonymous]

My mom and I think we are the only people propping up Good & Plenty. Does anyone else like them? She used to hide it from me when I was little. Now my DS and I live with her and she still hides it. I told her my son doesn't like it but it's just a habit now. Lol.

Maybe you were a stale gum in the baseball card pack, kinda kid.

Ah you remind me that I liked Big League Chew and the giant pixy stix

A year or so ago I saw Necco wafers in Harris Teeter in one of their end bins. My mom used to love them so I bought her a pack or two. I haven't seen them since!

Came in just to post about Good & Plenty Teen DD and I eat some almost daily and have been worried that we are the only ones keeping them around!

I definitely associate some candies with movie concessions (Good n Plenty, Junior Mints, …). I don’t know if they still have all what I think of as standard movie candies. I just imagine that they do.

My family would buy Andes mints at holiday time. I used to think they were so fancy.

Same but I respect the nostalgia.
I just miss the way Cadbury used to taste.
