Grizzly Dave Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I had a reply all typed up and got distracted and lost it. As a kid, Cherry Mash, the factory is close to the Stetson factory, so I once even picked up a big box of them when I got mom to take me to the Stetson factory when we were back there visiting family. Would have been late 60s early 70s I'd guess. I'm sure I had others, mostly anything chocolate I imagine.

Yul Lose Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Oooo.....Abazaba! And those small jawbreakers - not only tasty, but good ammo for those little dime sling shots! I still have an Abazaba occasionally, they are exactly the same and cost about 15 times what they did back then.

Old Scatterbrain Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I think it would be easier to name the candies I DON'T like, but some that come to mind are Mary Jane, Bit o' Honey, Black Jack, root beer barrels, horehound,Tootsie Rolls, taffy... Two great things about licorice and horehound are that A- they are both delicious, and 2- alot of people don't care for them, so I don't have to share much. I mean, you know, when I was a kid. ; - )
