Do you remember Candy Pills? They were colored dots that came on a sheet of paper. Pulled them off and ate them.

No I do not remember those but boy did I love the candy cigarettes. I was so grown up walking around with one of those in between my fingers.

Yes, I sure do. We called them Dots.

We always just pulled them right off the paper with our mouths and there was always a little bit of paper stuck to the dot. Enhanced the flavor, LOL.

I also remember them being called Dots. Occasionally, I would buy the candy cigarettes, but not the Dots.

Such a funny memory! Candy pills and cigarettes! In retrospect, it does seem odd that parents didn't think twice about this.....We also had plenty of toy guns, too....

Yep! And the candy jewelry too!

I remember them, but we thought they were just called dots. I didn't think they were "pills". But we did smoke candy cigarettes. 🤣

@Bonkers1 Best use of those dots I ever saw--- a young woman I knew married a young widower who had a blind child. She used those dots to create Braile messages.

I never was into candy like that or jelly beans and such. Well, does Laffy Taffy count????? Sugared almonds? For me it was a candy bar or maybe a fire stick!
