Tang is still on the shelves in mix it yourself cans, or I saw at Walmart that they have it pre-made in a large plastic bottle just like other juice containers.

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

that's b/c taste is largely connected to smell which is directly connected to the part of your brain controlling memory

Used to like a chocolate bar similar to nestle crunch or crackle. Had a brown wrapper with maybe yellow writing. Can't remember the name, but and can't find it anymore.

Sweet & Sour suckers



Skor toffee and chocolate bar



Used to get these in junior high. I can't find the original package and they were thicker and embossed

Runts. Easy to find at walmart during different holidays in those clear plastic tubes but other than that they're very hard to find.

Krackel. Walmart sells the oversized bars and the mini ones in that Hershey mixed bag tho.

The original Wonka Scrunch bar from the mid-late 70s. Better than its imitator and still available whatchamacallit. Best ever!

Agreed, coke in the 8oz bottles is close.

You can still find them online, though they tend to melt when shipped - chocolate babies. They went by some other name back in the day.

Again, not candy. ..but also in the 70's there was a snack called Cheese Flings. They were similar to Cheetos, but were lighter, like a Funyun.

Life Saver Swirl lollipops.

Blueberry & Cream

Etc.

Reminds me of the concession stand at high school football/basketball games.
