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

I was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. My parents are from Marshall County in Northeast Kansas. Often, in the 1950's, we spent weekends with my Grandparents on a farm near Axtell, Kansas. My Grandpa and Grandma "Sam" attended Salem Lutheran Church. Although out in the country, it was a large brick structure with many beautiful stained glass windows. Salem Lutheran Church set on a hill overlooking farm land and gently rolling plains.

When I attended church with them, I received Sen-Sen as a treat (and sometimes as a bribe to be still and pay attention to the service). They were always smartly dressed. My Grandma always had a pack of Sen-Sen in her "pocketbook" and my Grandpa had one in the breast pocket of his Sunday suit. I developed a taste for Sen-Sen and licorice and have enjoyed it ever since, thanks to my Grandpa and Grandma! ~ Tim from Kansas

Average Rating    LOVE SEN-SEN'S!   I sent some to my mother for her birthday. She loved them as a kid, and she and I always ate them when I was young, too! They're getting harder and harder to find! I'll never have to look around again! :)   Reviewed by:  Sierra Walker from Chico. on 9/4/2011 Yum   Great to still have this available. The foil packages aren't as much fun as the cool sliding boxes that used to package Sen Sen, though. But the taste is the same. Thanks Old Fashioned Candy!   Reviewed by:  Edward R Horodko from Reno. on 8/24/2011 Sensen   I had this candy as a kid and it brings back good memories. I am glad yo have found it. It is nice and fresh.   Reviewed by:  Rosie Gibbens from Illinois. on 5/29/2011 Sen Sen   Sen Sen – Had been looking for this breath freshener for years. As a teen it was a must when going out on a “hot Date”. We sent some off to family in their Easter Card.   Reviewed by:  Guy from East Wenatchee, WA. on 5/16/2011
