I tried them a couple of times but I thought they were dry so I didn't really care for them.

I thought for sure I still saw the Crème Savers in stores. I'm probably mistaken though.

Thanks for the reminder about Amazon, Romary.

It seems like they sell just about everything, don't they?

i didnt really care for them at all, but my older daughter loves them. she was buying them often when she studied abroad in europe for a year. she is excited to see they are making a comeback.

I found quite a few 'retro' types of candy/bars at Cost Plus World Market. Remember those violet flavored mints? They have them there. The various brands could possibly be listed on their website.

I just bought some Creme Savers (they only make strawberry) today for a friend's mother, so they're still around.

I didn't realize that the crispies had been gone for a decade. time flies. lol.

Oh yes, I remember those mints. Violet candy has been around for a very long time. I remember one of my Grandmothers telling me that she used to eat it as a child, and that it was popular when she was young, and that would have been about a hundred years ago now.

I remember buying it at an old general store that used to be in our area. It was a neat old store. Going to that store was like going back in time. It had wooden floors, and and old-fashioned front counter, where they had different kinds of unique gum and candy.

They used to sell the Beeman's gum there, too. I used to like getting the Beeman's gum. I used to love chewing Black Jack gum. It was one of my favorites.

There was an ad for them at the theatre yesterday.

I just picked up the cherry M&Ms at Target.

Good move with the price of chocolate going up. Filling them with cheap puffed rice. I'm stock piling chocolate chips.

northernlights: I don't know whether or not I'm imagining this, but I think that I recall seeing Beeman's Gum (Maybe even Black Jack Gum?) there at Cost Plus World Market. I'll have to take a good look next time I'm in the area. They have an excellent selection of the retro candies. When I was very, very young, we had a couple of candy/small grocery stores nearby (med. city) in our neighborhood. Lots of candies. Remember the long paper ribbon with tiny 'dots' candies adhered to it? ..............Oh, BTW, anyone remember those 'Sen-Sen' breath mints? Teeny-tiny little black squares of licorice in a teeny-tiny package. My mom always had them in her pocket and/or purse. Haven't seen them in ages, anywhere.
