I loved chocolate Ice Cubes! I still do, just ordered some today off Amazon. Melt in your mouth delicious!

My DM would make pulled taffy for us, and it was such fun.

I remember Bub's Daddy bubblegum. I didn't like the apple flavor though.

those dots that were stuck to paper you had to peel off

I still love sweet tarts, sixlets and koolaid straws.

'Sen-Sen' breath fresheners.

Very teeny tiny black squares of licorice flavor.

In small,  paper square packaging.

My mom's purses always smelled like Sen-Sens !

@RedTop  Oooh, I loved Koolaid straws. 

I think typical of the time, Mom rarely bought candy or Cokes at the store but my choice was always Butterfinger. Gosh they were good.

Candy and gum  were forbidden in grammar school but we were allowed to bring Luden's cough drops. Go figure. The cherry flavored ones were awesome.

One of my favorites were the Abba-Zaba's with the peanut butter inside, used to put them in the freezer for awhile then eat them while they were crunchy😁
