Gone but not forgotten

[HaloGirl]

I remember Jarts and candy cigs.

[L_G_D]

so you are the reason they are banned?!

I don't think so, we never lost any eyes, we were too good at dodging each other's shots, lol.

[Matt]

those were the best.

[Brenda]

I loved those!

Whatever happened to those potato sticks? I think those were made by Planters too.

[HaloGirl]

I loved those!

Me too!

I don't have any pictures of them, but does everyone remember the Jolly Rancher sticks? Flat, about 3/4 of an inch wide and maybe 4 or 5 inches long? I used to get them at the little store down the street from me (that's no longer there) for a dime. When I played little league baseball, our team was sponsored by that store... Whenever we won a game, the owner would let us come in and get $2 worth of candy. Back then, we could get a whole hell of a lot for $2. I would load up on the Jolly Rancher sticks and the little Goetz's caramel creme candies (they were a nickel apiece).

I'd forgotten about the O'Boisies... Jarts.. I never had a set growing up, but the neighbors did. We used to play the game like L_G_D did until my friend's cousin had to go to the hospital for a punctured foot. The Jarts were strangely missing next time we went to play. So much for survival of the fittest, eh?

And what was the name of that silly clown that you hooked up to the garden hose??? It had the medusa-like hair that whipped around everywhere with the water coming out...

[Matt]

yes. I loved those!
that was back when Now & Laters ruled and Jolly Ranchers were the up and coming candy.
Anyone remember Bonkers!? The candy that bonks you out?

Seems like i can still find Fun Dip if i look for it, but where has Big League Chew gone?
