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

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


I bought these at the pool concession stand all the time!


Chewy sweetarts were the best!!

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

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.
