Not candy but I would like original Coke back; not the shite they call classic when they changed back from new coke. The shite never tasted the same when they changed it back. Classic coke tastes no where near as good as original, unchanged coke no matter what the marketing tells you.

This isn't candy, but I remember in the 70's, Kelloggs made a pop tart type breakfast thing called "Danish Go Rounds". I still crave them from time to time.

Try the Mexican coke in the little glass bottles.

i'm surprised. with the way society is today, I would think candy cigarettes would receive all kinds of backlash from certain people

This right here

My grandfather used to have them in his cabin, so I used to feast on them as a kid when we went duck hunting with him. I'll find them in a gas station here or there and always buy one when I do.

It's amazing how tasting something can put you right back in a specific time and place.
