Candy Memories
I must of been about seven years old. I remember my Mother walking me to the little store called "Aggies." Inside, Miss Aggie had a glass case you could look thru, and select the candy you wanted. Most was penny candy that I do not even remember seeing a name on. Some were 2 for a penny. My favorite was what I called Lipstick candy. It was wrapped in gold foil with one end showing a red color. Was the size of a lipstick.Not sure of the flavor, but boy it was good. Have not seen any since the. One cent each. Funny thing. I never tried to put it on like lipstick! Just ate it.

I remember walking to the small corner store with my older brothers when my parents were able to give us some change for candy, we were so excited! To my 5 year old eyes the small candy store was huge! My brothers usually chose a mixture , including "zotz" and I always went for my favorite "lipstick candy" as soon as I got it I began "painting" my lips a bright red! I felt so pretty, thought I was a princess & felt grown up! Then I ate it and enjoyed every bite! Great memories

I remember how sweet it was sneaking off campus in elementary school to go across the street to the corner candy store for lip stick candy. I would sneak a bite in class and got busted by another student and had to share so the he would not tell the teacher. I wish I could get him back!
