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

I never had one but enjoyed the commercials. What did they change?

But the question is what is your favorite if you have one. What’s your favorite that you still get even though kids today may not know it?

I still love Jordan Almonds and the Russell Stover Vermont fudge roll.

A box (or several boxes) of Good & Plenty are my family’s go-to gift for my dad. He loves them. I’ve never seen anyone else eat them, but I guess it is you, your mom, and my dad!

My grandmother used to put out those Sunkist fruit gummies in her candy dish, or the Brach’s pick-a-mix with cinnamon candy, those blue mint things, Starlight mints, and what have you.

She also used to serve After Eight mints after holiday dinners. They were very thin mint chocolates in little sleeves.

PP, I also love Necco. The pastels AND the chocolates.
I can get them at Joann’s in Gaithersburg.
Maybe all Joann’s has them!

Loved Gobstoppers. They seem to have disappeared from stores over the past year

Another vote for the bullseye soft caramel with the vanilla center.
I had forgotten those starkist gummies but they were awesome.

The Amish marker in Annapolis sells most of these old candies.

Old fashioned candy sticks - they were hard candy sticks, about six inches long that had various flavors. Root beer, lemon, cherry, cinnamon. I used to love those.

Mini Mini Chicles Fruit Gum small yellow package with confetti design
Sure they lost flavor after 30 seconds that just meant more gum was needed lol
