It still amazes me that candy cigarettes were ever something kids could buy.

This. If I seem to recall, didn't they have a powdery stuff that you could blow out like smoke?

I do remember them being a bit powdery. One other thing I remember was they had one end painted red to make it look more like a real lit cigarette.

There were some that were candy and some that were actually gum. I believe the candy ones had the red on the end, and the gum ones had paper around them like a real cig and the powder substance was between the paper and the gum, if you blew on it the powder would come out like smoke

Ah, I remember candy cigs but I don't recall the gum ones.

We never had Pong. Our first video game was the Atari 2600. We got it for Christmas like 79 or maybe 80 I think. It came with the game "Combat". Man we played the hell out of that thing.

We eventually got an Atari, too. My favorite game was this one:

Here is another we used to have. Old school go kart. We rode the wheels off of ours. One time my Mom was riding with my brother and he turned a little to hard and she went flying. It disappeared for a while after that.
