Do you have a favorite
"candy you ate as a kid" story?
Share it here.I remember when I was only eight years old my father and I went on a camping trip. On the way up to the campsite we stopped in at a gas station to get gas. My father told me I could go in and get something to eat. I went inside and strolled down the aisle, not seeing anything that I liked my dad suggested that I get Nik-L-Nips. We got into an argument because I thought I wouldn't like them and the rest of the way up we didn't talk.
When we got to the campsite we set up our tent and built a fire because it was getting late. After we grilled up some burgers my sweet tooth was aching for some candy. I remembered that my father had bought the Nik-L-Nips. So ,reluctantly, I opened the bag and ate one of the small wax bottles.
After gobbling down the whole bag I came out of my tent and said I was sorry to my father. He started laughing and said it was okay and that he knew I would like them. We stayed up until the fire burned out after that. This is one of the best memories I have of me and my father. Every time I see Nik-L-Nips I think back to the time when my father and I went camping. ~ Derek from California
