today i went to a candy store.
i saw the store last night...and somehow...ended up there today...with camera in hand...and money in my pocket!
there were lots of old-fashioned candies...at today's prices.

here's what i bought!!!
- bubblegum cigs...

- chick-o-stick bites...
did you notice they are made by atkinson's? remember...that's the name of the store i kept in business when i was growing up. wow...they must have made a grip off of me!!!

- atomic fire balls...
i used to spend quite a bit on these. when i saw them in the store today...i immediately grabbed a handful!!!

- now laters...
and...yet another fave. i only bought a few of these.
thanks for sharing this trip down memory lane with me. now...i'm going downstairs to get some of my candy. :)
OMG, all my childhood favorites..the candy dots, Banana Now and Laters, Chick-O-Sticks (look how they've shrunk).
ReplyDeleteVery cool... it must have been a blast!
ReplyDeleteGreat colours. This takes me back to when my mom first brought home Cigarette Candies for us.
ReplyDeleteLove your choices ... I love doing childhood touchstone things like this every now and then. :-)
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you run into giant *real* malted milk balls or seriously peanut buttery peanut butter logs with stripes that go all the way through!!! That's what I'm talkin' about!
