Do you have a favorite "candy you ate as a kid" story? Share it here.

When I was a child, I was maybe 8 or 10; I had cousins I was very close to who lived a couple of hours away. It was a treat to take a trip to their house. I was always excited because they were a couple years older than me and they were trusted to take me on a walk with them.

We would walk down to the end of their road where there was an old time general store. We would always buy candy cigarettes and pretend like we were grown up adults out on the town. We would hold them as we had seen our mothers hold real cigarettes and blow imaginary smoke rings. We thought we were on top of the world. To this day this memory is one of my fondest from childhood. ~ Mary from Michigan

Average Rating    CANDY FROM THE 60'S   I BOUGHT CANDY FROM THE 60'S ( CANDY CIGARETTES ,WAX LIPS BUTTON DOTS ) AND THERE WAS MANY MORE TO CHOOSE FROM .I AM MAKING A 60TH CANDY BASKET AND THESE ITEMS MADE MY BASKET.   Reviewed by:  CECILE BOULETTE from LEWISTON ,MAINE. on 9/11/2011 candy cigarettes   Don't know if they have changed or if I have just grown up. When we were small, the cigarettes seemed life-size and the box was full. Not so this go round. A bit disappointed. But the box seemed authentic enough.   Reviewed by:  Susan Bird from Centerville UT. on 9/9/2011 I'm up to 3 packs a day...   I remember when the words "Candy CIGARETTES" were right there on the box. And one side of the stick was red so it looked like it was lit. Now they just say "Candy" and the red dye is gone... so as not to upset the P.C. crowd. But we all know what these are. These are candy freakin' CIGARETTES, my friends. And, thankfully, they taste just as good as they ever did. :)   Reviewed by:  Joseph Odendahl from Atlanta, GA. on 7/27/2011 Candy Cigarettes   Same as I remember these as a kid. I will be trying more of your candies.
