Pixy Stix memories...

Ah, pixy stix in the summer! I always bought them at the swimming pool because you could really enjoy your stix, get the sugary fun all on your hands & face & then jump in to "clean yourself off". To this day, the smell of chlorine, suntan lotion & pixy stix take me back to being 7 years old again. Grape flavor was my personal favorite & the GIANT pixy stix were the treat to have. It was all that length of sweet & tart candy in a plastic straw that didn't get squishy since most times my hands were wet from swimming. And besides, you could use the empty straw to keep little brother in line! ~ Jana from Oklahoma

I was a child of the 70's and grew up in Hurst, Texas just three doors down from a Mr. M's convenience store. During those very long, hot summer days all the kids in the neighborhood would walk down to Mr. M's and buy candy. Everyone had their favorite but my favorite, by far, was Pixy Stix.

The cool girl on the block was Big Michelle. She was 10 and at just 6 I longed for the double-digit days. She'd let me walk with her to Mr. M's. She always bought candy cigarettes and I thought she looked so cool when she "smoked" them. However, this is where my idolization stopped apparently because I wouldn't give up my Pixy Stix...even to be like Big Michelle.

However, I mastered the art of "smoking" them just like Big Michelle smoked her candy cigs. If my mother had ever seen me, she'd have died! ~ Amy from Texas

When I younger, my brother brought home a pack of, Pixy Stix. He told me it was the best candy he had ever tasted. Later that day after dinner, my brother asked me if I wanted to taste it. Well I said yes and I had open a strawberry flavored one. It was delicious. It made my mouth water every time I'll see it. Now that I am older now I have told my 15 year old daughter about it, and she can't miss a day of having it. That is my story Pixy Stix. ~ Michelle from Illinois
