Anyone remember Charleston chews, bit o honey snow caps? Growing up on a farm I would go into town with my mom on Saturday and got 15 cents to go to the local department store there was a candy counter inside for 5 cents the person behind the counter would give you a scoop of brachs candy in a brown paper bag. The scoops were huge. At that time at Christmas my parents would buy the life-saver books as stocking stuffers. It was the best of times

Fruit stripe gum wrappers made the best gum wrapper chains. That's why I wanted it.

Candy necklaces were great!! I never saw anyone swim with them. You said they would get sweat and sunscreen on them. There was NO sunscreen back in those days. I ate those necklaces ALL the time☺️

Ate all 25 many many times and I'vemade it to 75. Lips were 3 cents where I lived. They had buck teeth too. Mainly sold this at Halloween.
