What candies do you remember from your childhood?

In penny gumball machines around Chicago, the machines had occasional winners that were worth a nickel's worth of candy. I am not able to find a picture, and they were NOT marked as winners. They were dull yellow with blurred red markings reminiscent of the pattern of stitching on a baseball. Before someone told me what they were, I probably ate dozens of them, because as I later realized, there were lots of them in the machines.

PEZ was first created in 1927 in Vienna, Austria, and it only came in peppermint and was marketed as a breath mint for adults! It came to Britain and the USA in 1953 and began to introduce fruit flavors. It's still available in 60 countries around the world. :)
