Redskins and white knights, they used to cost 2 cents each when I was 5 then they went up to 2 for 5 cents and there went my pocket money LOL
Freckles are good to, I bought a packet of them last week much dearer now of course

Those candies must be strictly overseas as never heard of them. None of our penny candy is even close to that anymore more like 25 cents each

That's ok I don't know all the ones you're talking about either LOL

Nope prices certainly have increased over the years those 2 for 5cents are now 75cents each

I wonder if some of our candies are the same but just called something different.
I like Mallow's too

Good possibility.
There is a new lolly/chocolate shop opened up at the local shops that has fudge by the grams and all loose things that you don't see that often, I've also been told they have things American like pop tarts, peanut butter cups, jelly belly beans, one of my US ladies has me addicted to jelly bellys esp the choc pudding ones, now I'll be able to get my own stock. I must go in and have a good look

Lauri, What were you checking for? Chocolate???? LOL..........Kathy, This American dislikes, Pop Tarts!!! My grandkids love them. Ok....Who likes Pop Tarts?????..............Tami, Ahhhhh, You are so sweet to share your candy with me.....You are sweeter then chocolate!!!!.......

As far as I know there is nothing like your pop tarts here so I have not tried one, they are probably full of sugar anyway like all good stuff LOL

Kathy in 1 serving there is 220 calories and Calories from fat is 60. Sugars 18grams........I think this is a kids food. You can eat them right from the pouch because they are fully baked but most people toast them. Some flavors are, Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Apple Strudel, Cinnamon roll, and my grandkids favorite, Chocolate Chip......On days when the kids are running late for school, Pop Tarts are a real quick breakfast with milk and juice to drink. But adults eat them too, I just don't like any of them.

I like Pop Tarts every once in a while--cherry or blueberry best. lol!!

The chocolate is still here...mainly because after I talked to you, I started getting a sore throat.

now doubts remenants of what my son has now. I will probably eat it tonight so the offer still stands if you can make it here quickly!!

One of my all time favorite memories is walking to the drug store with my grandfather when I was little - around 2-3 yrs. old. He would take me in there to buy penny candy. I was his only granddaughter so I was spoiled.

That's when red fish became my favorites.

I may just have to pop in to see a pop tart or how much they will be, probably hideously expensive but you gotta try these things once LOL

Tami my single uncle was the spoiler, I was the only niece for a looong time so I got to go on the lolly run with him, he's still single!
