Bonomo Turkish Taffy was my favorite old-time candy. I liked Vanilla best.

Those wax bottles of pop were great too.

 

[SeaBreeze]

Salt-Water Taffy

(with BOnOmO Bonomo OOO...it's BONOMO......taffy layful:, vanilla was also my fave, although I did get strawberry now and then)

The Hollywood candy bar for just 5¢. I haven't seen one of these in many years:

mmmmmmmm. Good.


And the Mountain Bar which I haven't seen in years but I guess they still make 'em. This was a nickle or dime back in the day and one of my favorites:

I thought they stopped making candy cigarettes (you know - the Health Brigade) but lo and behold they're on the counter at my local quickie store.

I was a Turkish taffy nut as well - probably explains my rotten teeth.

Loved Boston baked beans, too.

If you have Raisinets you of course also have to mention Goobers ...

If interested in indulging in some old time treats, there are websites that have options....one being the Vermont Country Store website.


(now, if only I could find my favorite perfume online somewhere ... Revlon's Moon Drops. Loved that stuff. All I've found are used up bottles on eBay for $100!! Not exactly what I wanted )

Jujubes! That's what I wanted when we went to the movies.

How many of these could you put in your mouth and tolerate it ?

mmmmmmmm. Good.


And the Mountain Bar which I haven't seen in years but I guess they still make 'em. This was a nickle or dime back in the day and one of my favorites:

Remember paying 5 cents for most old time candy bars. When you can find today's version, it's around $2.00 for the same thing.

 

[SeaBreeze]

Dots
Licorice Shoelaces (red and black long strands)
Sugar Daddys
Sugar Babies
Brown Cows
Smarties

Sometimes I don't remember exactly what candies I used to eat, but I ALWAYS remember the Candy Man ...

Root beer barrels (which are actually still made), Whiz Bars and those coconut strips my grandmother used to buy for me at the farmer' market.

If my mind serves me correct, these candies were the most disgusting tasting candies known to mankind back in the day!

 

[fmdog44]

Lik-M-Aid

 

[Aunt Marg]

On a positive note, these were so good!

They were sort of fizzy when you crunched down on them.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Lik-A-Made (sp)

Yes! The hard candy stick was the best!

 

[fmdog44]

Fizzies the worst invention of all time

 

[Aunt Marg]

Here was another favourite of mine!

 

[Aunt Marg]

And who could forget Red Hots!

I never passed on adding a few of these to my little brown paper candy bag when buying penny candy!

 

[Aneeda72]

Abba-Zaba taffy and peanut butter, yummy!

 

[win231]
