Charms Sweet and Sour Pops memories...
I remember when I was little girl. I usually go to old small store for Sweet and Sour pop almost every weekdays after school for 4 to 6 years. I love to taste sweet and sour back and forth when I suck pop. It always made my day when I have that pop. About couple years ago, I got that pop in my mind and I started to look for that every stores. They no longer sell that product. I decided to look for that product online. I found this on your web site. Now your company make my day! ~ Krista from South Carolina I grew up in a very small town that didn't even have a stoplight. However, it did boast a small video store owned by a local family. The store was tiny, dark, cramped, home to a brown tabby named Footloose and never had more than three copies of anything. But it did have a candy counter. Getting a movie was a special treat, but the best part of renting there was that my father would always buy us a Sweet and Sour pop from the dusty candy counter. That taste always reminds me of my small town roots and how much I miss those simple pleasures and slower pace of life. ~Jamie from Ohio When I was very young, I was my dad’s shadow. I went every place with him and his buddies. But by far my favorite was fishing. We would load up the trucks and stop at the same little store just outside town to get worms and all of the other NEEDED things for a good fishing trip. I soon discovered that my two things that I NEEDED to have were grape soda and sweet and sour pops. I can remember carefully digging through the bin of them to make sure that the ones I got were not broken. Then as soon as we got to the fishing spot, I would shove a sweet and sour pop into my mouth, which made it impossible for me to even close my mouth because they are rather large for a 4 year old. But I needed both hands to run around, catch frogs, try and drop rocks on fish in the water, and to gather up fishing line and hooks that people had left laying around and try to make my own primitive fishing pole. With the only time I went back to the truck, was to get another sweet and sour pop. Now as I think about it, I was probably a drooling, sticky mess running around with that irreplaceable treat in my little mouth. Likely, that is why I ALWAYS ended up with a few yellow jackets in my shirt stinging me before the trip was over. But it would not have been the same without any of it. Even today when I go into a little store I look for those sweet and sour pops and sometimes I find them. Then I dig through the bin just like a kid, find a few unbroken ones, shove one in my now larger mouth as soon as I get in the car, and remember how fun it was to be a dirty little kid fishing with her dad. ~ Heather from Washington Charms candy suckers were the very best treat to purchase when I went to the Saturday afternoon movies as a child of the 1950's; movie admission was 10 cents, and the suckers only cost 5 cents! Grape was my favorite flavor, and if I licked it slowly, it would last the whole movie! Sometimes I would decide beforehand that I was going to choose something different, like popcorn, but when I got to the counter and saw those huge suckers, I just had to have one! ~ Emily from Tennessee |
