I remember driving home from my uncle and aunts about 90 miles away and my parents stopping at this small gas station. I would beg for coconut slices
there. I remember the drive home I would be so happy. I would take them apart slice by slice and slowly eat them down. It was the only place I ever
found them and I loved them so much!! If I happen across them now I have to buy a package or 2 or maybe more!! ~ Karen from Texas
My memories of the coconut slice go back
about 30 years, I can remember going to the a certain neighborhood store with my
grandfather. On the counter always sat a box of coconut slices. I would always
be excited to go anywhere with my grandfather but this treat made it that much
better. I can remember eating the first stripe and then the next until it was
gone.
Sometimes he would go to the store
without me and I would be disappointed, but he would always surprise me because
at the bottom of the bag would be one of these treats just for me.
I am very excited to have found your web
site because for the past two years I have past by this same store, and of
course they do not carry this candy anymore, the new owners think I am crazy for
asking about it.
I often tell my kids of places I went and
things that I did as a kid, thoughts of this candy and my rides with my
grandfather always seem to come to the front of my memories, I tried to find
others that remember this candy with no luck, even my wife who is only a few
years younger than I am doesn't remember the candy.
Thank you for giving me a (coconut) slice
of my past to share with my family. ~ Derin from California
My family didn't have much money when I
was a child, so treats were very special when we received them. When we had the
opportunity to select a candy treat, my other three siblings would waste their
choice on a candy that was "sub-par"(in my opinion). I always chose the Coconut
slices. I LOVED them and was thrilled any time that I was blessed enough to get
my hands on one (which was not very often). I haven't had one in 30 years until,
recently, my 17 year old daughter had one. I don't know where it came from but
she sweetly shared it with me. Heaven! She loved the candy so much I began a
search to find a place to purchase them. I am SO excited to find Coconut Slices
available from your store!! Now a new generation will find them as wonderful as
I did, I'll make sure of it! ~ Rachel from Georgia
