Licorice you can pull
These were hard.
We'd drool in the candy shop, unable to decide what to buy, after getting some 10 and 25 cents from our moms.

Caramac was a big favourite here when I was a kid, even tho' it tasted like Baby sick....

The cheapest thing (5 cents) at the movies was Bonomos Turkish Taffy.
You'd break off a piece, put it your mouth until it softened up a bit and then chew....and chew....and chew.....
It's one attraction (other than being cheap) was that it would last through two movies, three cartoons and a newsreel.
And it kept the family dentist in new Cadillacs.

These were all the chocolate bars and sweets that were on sale when I was a kid the only ones you can still buy, are Jelly babies, Kit-kat Maltesers , smarties, & roses.. the rest are long gone sadly...
At the bottom of the picture is Fry's 5 centres.. and it was dark chocolate bar divided into 5 pieces and each piece had a different flavour

We call one of the neighbor's horses that. Had one, but can't say I remember it much.

I was fortunate to grow up in a small town with an old fashioned general store that had a circular candy counter.
One side was all penny candy and the other side was more for adults to select chocolates to make up boxed assortments.
After school every day two very patient women manned the candy counter waiting on the local kids, it’s amazing that they took in enough to pay the help and the overhead.
Wax tubes filled with sweet liquid and fake mustaches, lips, etc… were very popular.
