We used to go to Delchamps and they had those in the machines that you put a nickel in and get a handful. I loved that thing.

I'd like to investigate the link between independent hardware stores and obscure/old fashioned candy. At the very least, they usually have some kind of small batch peanut brittle.

I loved all the original Ferrara Pan candies: Boston Baked Beans, Cherry Chan/Clan, Jaw Breakers, Johnny Apple Treats, Alexander the Grape, Mr. Melon, Lemonheads, Red Hots, Atomic Fireball




Then they changed them all to "Heads" (Grapeheads, Cherryheads, Appleheads, Melonheads)

Yep -- they changed Cherry Chan to Cherry Clan back in the late 80s


I also used to like doing this as a kid

Loved those but for some reason we called them “wood candy”. No clue why.

I remember my grandpa liked Raisinets. I remember liking them too. My Grandpa was a very smart man.
