I can see by your list that you're a LOT younger than I am...

If you want to confirm you can also see by my birthdate listed in my Userinfo.

oh beloved penny candy! the best way to waste that change you liberated from your parents' couch.

I think my favourite penny-candies were:

- cylindrical stick bubble gum (shaped vaguely like cigarettes - tasted awful, came in pink and purple)
- gummi anything
- sour versions of gummi anything
- swedish berries, but only if fresh!

But I think mostly I saved my change for the Wonka stuff in boxes (Gobstoppers, Runts, Dina-sour eggs, Nerds, Punkys) and those strings of Fizz candies.

I'm with you on everything except the Fizz candies. One summer weekend, I ate an entire string. I was so sick after that I had to get shots to stop the vomiting.
It was not a very pleasant memory.

Was?

What is swedish fish?

And yeah anything sour AND gummy was/is good.

Or jawbreakers. Hours of fun for me and of "omg she's gonna swallow it and choke and die" stress for my parents.

Like Swedish berries only fish shaped.
If you don't know what those are, they are a little like jujubes.
