Music, food, and scents are things that can instantly take you back in time . When I saw a picture of the strawberry candies below, I was instantly taken to my maternal grandmothers house in Philadelphia. When I would visit, she would leave them in her candy dish and I would demolished them all weekend. I just love them and her. Those candies bring back such good memories. (now that I think about it, she was probably refilling them so I didn’t get in trouble, however her trash cans were full of those shiny wrappers!)
Who doesn’t remember candy necklaces?! So fashionable, yet so tasty. Oh the days!
OK, yes I did take it back to the candy cigarettes that were bubble gum and blew smoke. Now-a-days this would be so taboo, but back in the 80′s these were soooo cool:)
Six feet of bubble gum, for you not them! I think that was their slogan. What on earth was I doing with that much bubble gum? Oh I remember, trying to make sure it didn’t hit the floor…
Watermelon candy was such a favorite candy of mine. Did they used to be 5 for a penny?
There are many many more throwback sweets, what am I missing?
Stay inspired and enjoy the sweet journey,
