  • Old-time Candy

    This is a great site where you can browse through candy by the decade of origin. For nostalgia's sake I always like to buy old-time candy. One of my favorite's is Clove gum.

    Cool site. Some of those things bring back a lot of memories. I remember having wax syrup straws once while on vacation, and my dad was raving about how he had them as a kid and hadn't seen them in years. It will be cool to order a bag and include them with his next birthday present.

        They actually have candy cigarettes! I used to get those as a kid.

          What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

              Just my spelling. I did a search for Abba Zabba and got nothing. But apparently it is Abba-Zaba (only one b on the Zaba) so I missed it.

                  I think that definitely falls under "Candy you ate as a kid," but thanks anyway for interpreting the website name uber-literally. The url oldtimecandyplussomecandywhichisonlyacoupledecades old.com was probably already taken.

                    I wonder how many of these taste different than what you remember as a kid. My mom used to always talk about cow tales and how great they were. Then a few years ago we bought some and they were absolutely disgusting. Even she thought they were gross.

                      "Candy you ate as a kid" is a marketing line. And how else can you interpret "old time candy" than literally? This is supposed to be nostalgic candy, right? We can probably agree on that. The problem is, I'll bet the majority of the candy for sale on that website is still available in stores. Three Musketeers? Seriously?

                      I'll admit I don't see Cup o' Gold or Honees around, but Hersey's? Werthers?

                        You can still buy jacks, a top and string, or a yo-yo, but that doesn't mean they're not old-time toys or that they lack nostalgia.

                          Exactly. I'm not buying those on some website and paying for shipping when I can get them at wal-mart for $.33.

                              circus peanuts fall under this category. parents who feed those to their kids should be ashamed.
