[Vintage Candy] So what candies do you miss?

These were amazing. They were discontinued for no good reason. I would kill James Harden for a bag of these.

 

Do they still make these? I use to always buy them from the ice cream truck. I haven't had one in about 18 years.

 

I miss Fruit Bars

So good and ugly

 

Always liked these better than Nerds.

 

Walgreens is a store I often see them at.

 

I just lold had to rep.

The one I cannot ever remember, it was caramel covered in light chocolate and it was shaped like a chain. Red package, a butt load of caramel. Want so bad right now.

 

been looking for warhead ooze for a couple years but no luck




Also i miss bottlecaps, can still get them online though

 

The homemade candied apples I used to be able to get from a particular house at Halloween.

 

My goodness, I must have those!

 

it's impossible, they no longer exist

 

I miss the American crispy M&M's. They still sell them in Europe, but the chocolate used is a whole lot different and it just doesn't taste right. Those pretzel M&Ms have the same color wrapper, & even though I know better, it still tricks me every time at the checkout. How have they not rereleased those?

I miss the Valentine's version of Runts- where it was just the pink and red hearts. Soo good.

Also, the White Kit Kat Poppables were delicious when put in the freezer. Haven't seen those since like 2003-4.

 

There was a convenience store of sorts in the San Jacinto Mall that sold some licorice-type candies that were coated in regular, granulated sugar. They were in plastic bags with no branding; but I wonder if they're a common product of some kind. There was also a taffy bar of some kind that was made of a gum or Starburst material. I also bought Dark Knight and I think Wolverine/Sabertooth comics from there.

 

Candy has a shelf life...

I wouldn't order something that has been discontinued for years.

Twix Peanut Butter before they started making it with a chocolate cookie. It was much better with the standard cookie.

 

They aren't vintage, lol. Speciality reissues.

 

Dollar Tree has an aisle of vintage candy...Mallo Cups, Nestle Chunkie, Good n' Plenty etc.

 

They still make Runts?

 

no homo, but Big Hunk. Sugar Daddy as well not babies.

 

Get outta here.... candy expires? No way. :grin:

It's not like they stocked up on candy from 30-40 years ago and said "let's sell them to the public now!" lol. Many of these candies aren't out of production. They're also sold in other parts of the world. The candies being sold on many of the sites weren't made in the 80's. Probably half the candies being mentioned in this thread are still sold.
