Does anyone remember Sky Bars? Sky King would promote them on his Saturday morning show. They were a candy bar with four different flavored centers.

Sounds like this one:

Seven Up candy bars! : r/candy

I never had one, but I sure could go for one now.

Never had the violet mints, what did they taste like?

I haven't had them in many years, but what I'd say is they don't taste like mints to me. More like flowers and perfume with a bit of anise. Sounds gross but it works!

AAnyone remember these Space Sticks from the 1960s? My brother and I loved them!

Yes! We had those with a glass of Tang!

I didn't really like Space Sticks, but wanted to "be a big kid" and impress my older brother. I was the typical little sister who looked up to him, and drove him crazy trying to do everything he did with a "Watch me Jimmy! Watch meee!".

I also remember for a while anytime I used a spoon I always had to use an old "Martian" spoon sitter just like he did. They came out of Nabisco cereal boxes. You'd slide it to perch on your spoon - it was a Martian like this one:

Gosh, we had some great goodies! I'm salivating!

I'm still holding out for my beloved (Alka Seltzer-like) FIZZIES! It's only been, what? Decades+++ We'd just pop the big tablet on our tongue & fizz away. Skip the Glass of Water.

Thank y'all for providing all these ideas and pics. Wonderful trip down Yummy Candy Lane.

Oh, yeah... Fizzies!

Kinda makes you wonder how we survived our childhoods.
