[Aunt Marg]

Here is one more I remember!

Gosh, these were so good!

 

[Aunt Marg]

Zagnuts
Wax Lips
Candy Cigarettes
Oh Henry
wax Bottles
Wax Teeth
Boston Baked Beans
Raisenettes

just some of the candies I remember as a kid. Help me out here. Must be a lot i'm forgetting.

Candy cigarette were my favourite, because there was just enough confectioners sugar between candy cigarette and paper, where if you blew lightly on the filet end, a little puff of confectioners sugar resembling real smoke would emit from the end of the cigarette.

Also, mom would give me her empty cigarette packages to put my candy cigarettes in, which made it all the more real.

Remember those wax bottles with the (I don't even know what was in them) sweetened liquid in them? Grandma used to give us those we'd suck that liquid out and chew on that wax like it was gum. LOL

Yes, I remember them, too!

Yes they were good, but I think there was a secret laxative in them..

A traditional Scottish aniseed flavoured sweet - Coulter's Candy. This gave rise to one of the first advertising "jingles" in the form of the song "Ally bally bee".

Ally, bally, ally bally bee,
Sittin' on yer mammy's knee
Greetin' for a wee bawbe
Tae buy mair Coulter's candy.

The original recipe has been lost, but a modern version is sold in 'retro' sweet shops. Another favourite of mine that vanished was "Spangles". I loved the "Old English" variety.
