Mr. Samples: Had a similar experience when my father introduced me to horehound hard candy. Got the back of my head smacked after asking him why they had their own doggy. I guess I'm one of the few people who still like that flavor of candy. Just can't seem to find it anywhere. Just yakkin'... (on a bone)

Ate all of those at one time or another. Funny, I am looking now to buy a couple packs of that candy gum for my brother in the nursing home. Whenever I ask him what he wants me to bring it's "a pack of smokes!"
Asked the girl at the store yesterday, do you have any NECCO WAFERS ? Had no clue. Actually had a hard time finding LIFE SAVERS.

Mr. Bob: Thanks. A couple others I remember: Bit O' Honey, Malomar, Big Hunk, Charleston Chew, Black Cow, Pix Stix, Zotz. Kinda nice to try to put the flavor with the packaging. Does funny things to my head. Like the song that went with the chewing gum. Does the Spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?

You are welcome and your question sounds like a question for Mr. Wrigley Bog.

It's been a lot of years since I've seen an Abba-Zaba.
Does anyone remember Dentyne gum? Back in the old days, a nickel got you a pack of five sticks - I thought they were miniature sticks. Each was about an inch and a half long and 3/8" wide. Cinnamon flavor, if I remember right.

I thought that Dentyne gum was still around. I must be thinking of something similar wife buys the little stuff all the time.

Plum, weren’t those peanuts called Boston Baked Beans?

unfortunately, I remember (and ate) all of those selections - and now I've had 7 root canals, 3 posts with fake teeth, several caps - and more fillings than teeth! Only a single tooth remaining in my mouth that hasn't been worked on!

Don't really know Thomer, closest I can remember was the cracker jack stuff. Wasn't a nut fan then or now. Kept to many Dentist playing golf in my day.

Years ago, while traveling to Grandmas, dad would stop at a beer joint in this little town. He’d come out with candy bars for my brothers and I. He always got a Nut Goodie for himself and we got Snickers. I remember asking why we didn’t get a Nut Goodie? His reply……. Nut Goodies cost 10 cents! Snickers we’re a nickel!!!
