BBBatts were the best. I would give $100 if someone could let me know where they are still sold. The strawberry are legit amazing.

I grew up in Canada, and it was way more popular there than here to hand out the super mini bags of potato chips. Those were always a win.

Green apple gum. The best. Bottle Caps. But I also remember getting a shit ton of lollipops which was disappointing so that’s an improvement
