Sweet Memories of Childhood

A co-worker offered me a stick of Dentyne gum. And off my mind goes, not just wandering but doing it at a run.

I'll just name some things... see what it does for your memories.

Blackjack


Clove

Beemans 

Boston Baked Beans 

Chick-O-Stick

peanut butter logs

wax lips

wax bottles with sweet syrup in them 

pixie stix

Bazooka bubble gum (and the Bazooka Joe comics)

red vines

Milk Duds

Whoppers (long before Burger King)

Good and Plenty

candy cigarettes

candy corn



The sound of the ice cream truck on a hot summer day... nutty buddies, sidewalk sundaes, dreamsicles, pushups, ice cream sandwiches...

When reading this, my wife told me that our teeth would fall out. I pointed out that at our age, at least we can put them back in.

*SIGH*
