My grandpa used to give us bite o honey when we were kids. It wasn’t my favorite but I loved that he gave it to us. It was a fond memory. I can’t find it that often now.
I got candy in the summer when relatives came to visit. We would go to to the Old Country Candy store, in...Wayland? We would take relatives there as part of a historic tour of Massachusetts.
The store was an old fashioned general store, revamped to be a tourist attraction because of it's quirky pickle barrels with really huge sour pickles for sale, penny candy, and a nickelodeon.
My favorites were the coconut flavored "watermelon slices", Squirrels wrapped candy, and Mary Janes with peanut butter in the middle. We could buy packs of candy cigarettes there, and if you blew on them, real looking "smoke" came out! 🤣🤣🤣
A fav childhood candy memory for me are those spearmint striped candies. One of grandfathers always had a jar of them and after working all day on the farm,he'd eat one after coming in and showering. If I did a good job with the chores and got a lot done when I'd be at their farmhouse then I would get one too.
Every once in awhile I pick up a small pack of them and have one a day.
I really liked those kind of candies. Although I haven't had any for a long time, I figure I still do. I probably alternated eating my least favorite and favorite ones, but I really don't remember...for sure. I usually saved any licorice flavored jelly candies for last, in case my mom wanted them.
when i was a child, we had a corner store that had penny candy. I loved it. we have a store here now that sells the old fashioned candy bars...chick o sticks are my favorite and zagnut
