    So is your position that if you can still buy something, it's not old-timey? Or is it that if you can still buy something at the store, it isn't old-timey? Or are you conceding that something can be old-timey but still sold in stores, but that you would be a fool to pay shipping for it when you can get it at the store. Just pinning this down. I'm leaning toward the latter (which is a bit of an about face from your original comment) but I wanted to leave you some outs.

    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

      I am adopting none of your statements as my own.

      I will state this: I don't consider candy that is still in mass production and sold in all 50 states in nearly every grocery store and gas station to be "old time candy."
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        I still buy those.

        I also regularly buy cherry sours, smarties and orange slices.

          I think you have to exclude Cracker Barrel from the "sold in stores" classification.

              I like cherry sours and orange slices. Circus peanuts were NEVER good. Neither were smarties.
              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.

                      I hope those don't taste like Sixlets.

                            Mmm. I love the waxy taste of Sixlets. Very nostalgic for me.

                              I love cinnamon bears. You can't find them here, so once in a blue moon when I find myself strolling through the BYU bookstore, I have to buy some. I don't really care for the chocolate covered ones though.

                                Also, this thread sucks! Danimal and I are low-carbing it right now and all I can think about is candy I haven't eaten in forever.
