New subject,products you loved,but now are gone.
In HS and early twenties,I loved Canada Dry 's
WINK grapefruit soda!
I bought the quart bottles,was very fizzy!
Once like a fool,I drank two quarts,ended up on the bathroom floor,doubled over with cramps.
Never did that again!One quart was my limit.

Candy cigarettes. I used to love gnawing on those things. I am not sure what type of candy it was, but it was really good! The store called Giguère's in town carried the best ones! Michaud's Market carried the giant Pixie Stix. They're not found in stores around here anymore, but I can get those online if so inclined.

The candy cigarettes we had,came in a box,that looked like a cigarette pack.
Inside were chocolate pieces wrapped in cig papers,looked like real cigarettes.

Oh, God, no! Them and grasshoppers. I stepped on one in my bare feet "CRUNCH!!" and have been grossed out ever since. Blech!!!

They still make them (I don't know about the paper wrapped ones), my GF brought a "pack" back from Pittsburgh two weeks ago.

Oh, wow! Yeah, these were a white candy wrapped in cigarette papers, and one end was dipped in red food coloring. They put white powdered sugar in the papers that could be blown out, looking like smoke. They were really cool! They also came in boxes looking like the brands that were available at the time. I can remember the Lucky Strikes, Camels, and the Marlboroughs.

Oh, my gosh! How cool!

That's awesome! Guess that's where your love for cars started, eh?

My love of cars started before that. The first time I saw a real Cobra, I said someday I'm gonna have one of those (I was around 8), but my respect and desire to keep them nice came from having to work for them. I've had a number of very nice cars over the years (I could buy a new home and a good chunk of land if I still had a few!). Now, I don't have $1.5 million for a real Cobra, but I do finally have an excellent reproduction of one (they ain't cheap, either!). I believe I've posted pics of it.

LOL! That's exactly why they stopped selling them. They "encouraged" kids to smoke.

Flintstone's had commercials with Fred and Barney smoking Winston cigarettes!
The cigarette companies had no soul,doing that!

[RB 60]

That's incredible!

They are very scrawny and all white, don't taste too bad though (for a candy cigarette).
