#1 TRIPLE BLAST SUCKERS - I wish I had a picture for you all, but Willy Wonka sadly discontinued this product. These suckers were the creamiest most delicious suckers in the whole world. Each layer was a brilliant surprise ranging from sweet to sour to creamy to heaven. If I ever find one again I will simply cry.
#2 FUN DIP - I love the powdery goodness that is Fun Dip. The edible dipping stick they provide is both practical and delicious; it instinctively knows just how much sour sugar to grab each time. The powder is never too harsh and won't leave holes in your tongue... like certain other unnamed candies which may or may not rhyme with Shmixie Shticks.
#3 BOTTLE CAPS - I can't seem to find these anymore, where are they? They provide you with a nice solid crunch and a pop drink flavour that will leave you begging for more. Don't suck on bottle caps - just crunch as hard and fast as you can. Root Beer is my favourite kind...what's yours?
#4 LOTSA FIZZ - Man I love these ones. My only complaint is that the package keeps getting shorter and shorter every year. They used to be like ten feet long when I was a kid, I swear. These ones are amazing for sucking or crunching. They have a spectacular powdery fizz in the middle that will take you away to a magical fizzy mountaintop. I wish they would just sell the powder on it's own, I would keep it on the dinner table like salt and pepper.
#5 STRAWBERRY MARSHMALLOWS - This is bound to be a controversial pick so allow me to explain. Save these pillowy bastards for the end of a candy binge. They are a perfect sugar hangover remedy. They are not too sweet and they cleanse the palate, leaving you rejuvenated and guilt-free. Enjoy!

Yes to Triple Blasts! And yes to strawberry marshmallows! I agree. Not so big on Lotsa Fizz, but I do agree that a candy condiment would be welcome on the table. You know what I miss? Those Tomo Ame rice candies from Hawaii. Is it bad that I find myself thinking I don't eat enough candy?
ReplyDeleteBanana marshmallos for me, chocolate malt balls and turkish delight- Good!!!! And, I would also eat mystery chocolate off the floor. Its a given.
ReplyDeleteYes malt balls! Tomo Ame how could I forget???!?!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI would 'possibly' eat chocolate off the floor... I feel like my own floor could never be dirty enough to harm me. As for candy, I vote for Runts (plain, not tropical), those zingy zaps (I think) from the quarter machines, and sweet tarts. Oh and tart n tiny's. And Triple Blasts all the way!!! I actually dont really like the strawberry marshmallows, or any marshmallow candy for that matter. I also HATE gummy candy that's really soft, although I really dig the red berries. It's all about firmness. Sour candy is my fave, the assorted sours and the ORIGINAL sour keys. And the jumbo sour keys. Just not that budget brand they came out with. And I want my candy moderately stale, too. None of this squishy soft fresh stuff. That is all.
ReplyDeletei buy bottle caps about once a month -- easy to find. they are in a roll. rootbeer is my fave flave
ReplyDeleteI am with you on the Fun Dip. I have great memories invovling Fun Dip, my best friend, a motel room and a black dog. Also love the Fizz. They were longer when we were kids!
ReplyDeleteMy other faves:
Red Licorice (not stale, nice and soft)
Those green gummy frogs with marshmallow on the bottoms. I like those less now than when I was a kid, though.
Gummy Coca Colo bottles!
Try putting those strawberry things in the freezer and then eating them. Yum!
