Do you have favorites from your childhood that you still like today?

One of my favs is Mallow Cups. I love them!

I also like Black Jack and Clove gum. I found them recently at CVS!

I still love red fish candy--the real ones in the yellow box only!!

I liked and still do Necco Wafers also Black Jack and Clove gum as well as Teaberry BUT can not do gum anymore.

I love the Teaberry gum, too, but they didn't have it at CVS that day.

I remember my grandma always carrying Teaberry and Juicy Fruit gum with her. It was always a special treat for us to get Juicy Fruit from her at church when we were young.

If I see any Teaberry anywhere around here will get some and send it to you. My beloved MIL really liked it we always took her a whole carton when we would go visit or send her a pkg. I liked Juicy Fruit too but the flavor did not last long

Thank you Tami. There are some I too would not eat now but the only one that comes to mind is those "baby bottle" looking ones

I remember those! Also, those spaceship looking things that had little beads in them--the outside would dissolve when you stuck it in your mouth. Does anyone remember them?

My kids love Smarties and I will eat a few of those now and then. Nonpareils are another favorite. Also Charleston Chews and Red Hots cinnamon candies. HeeHee...
