Wish I could think of one, Becc... seems like I remember that there was 5-cent candy instead. But then I'm a Boomer-GenXer; 1963.

Thanks, KC! I'll (hopefully!) be 52 in March, but I'm glad that I'm also a Gen X'er as well, being a 'youthful' 50's broad, LOL. Wink

BTW, "Baby Boomer" birth years are 1946 to 1964, and "Generation X" is the early 1960's to the early 1980's.

when was it a penny? maybe i am forgetting,but i recall buying candies at 5 cents. my favorites were always sour balls and lemonheads.

The VERY small village I grew up in the 50's, had penny candy (individual pieces) wrapped. Candy bars were 5 cents each or 6 for a quarter! These were full size too! My friends and I took turns "treating" each other. ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$ Those were the days.

thanks madcity.....i was born in the early 1960s so that is probably why i dont remember it being a penny......but looking back, 5 cents was a great deal also! Kiss

i also forgot to mention goldenbergs peanut chews!

Bazooka bubble gum.

To add- I was never big on candy (penny or otherwise). But I always chewed gum! (In fact Im chewing gum while Im typing this..lol). The only candy I ever ate/eat is Hershey kisses and Reeses peanut butter cups.

I don't think there was a penny candy I didn't like. I didn't see now n laters mentioned. Swedish fish, the candy buttons you tore off the sheet. Omgosh, so many. That is where my allowance use to go. Cinnamon buttons. Sugar daddy lollipops, milk duds, jawbreakers, bubble yum......

I never knew the exact years, just knew it was after the war... I'm a slightly pre-baby boomer! ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$ But I had to get in on anything that talks about penny candy! Did anyone put peanuts in their Coke back then? I did...and as a poster mentioned on another thread, for you Barbara Mandrell & country music fans, I was country before country was cool - wa-a-a-y-y before! Smile
