I remember those! Also the colored sugar dots on sheets of paper. Chick-o-stix. Cinn-o-mon Lifesavers, which were white. Whatchamacalits.

I loved chick-o-sticks except when they got stale and were rock hard. I’m certain I broke teeth on them.

They used to have gigantic ones that came like 5 in a pack. They were chewy. I loved those.

Love it! 💕

Sadly they have not brought back the NECCO conversation hearts. Those were yummy because they were softer than NECCO wafers but with the same dusty sugar taste that I love.

Really? Are there imitators out there? I thought they were still available around Valentines Day. Sorry.

Are you talking about the ones that were kind of airy and flaky? Anyone remember those?

I had forgotten about those. We used to buy them at the candy store all of the time.
