When I was a kid I ate my fair share of candy. There was a lot of good/cool kinds of candy that was strictly geared just for kids that I ate all the time.

Here are some of my favorites:

Fun Dip (Probably was my favorite)
Pixie Sticks ( In the big straws)
Warheads
Fireballs
Skittles
Jawbreakers
Airheads
Sour Patch
Lemonheads (Individually wrapped big ones)


What were some of yours?

                            A box of Lemon Heads was perfect at the movies as a kid because they lasted longer than any other type of candy. Plus you could eat the box if you were really hungry.

                              Since you brought up Lemon heads, how about Cherry and Grape Heads?

                                    Reese Pieces, 3 Musketeers, Butterfinger, Tootsie Pop Drops, Milk Duds, I can go on forever.

                                    I don't eat lots of sweets, and usually my sugar consumption is either HOMEMADE cookies or frozen custard. I only buy confectionery if it's been days without a single cookie or I've got sweet tooth problems, and I barely have those anymore. Another reason why I might buy some is if we're going out for a few days or from urges (Either my mom sneaks one out or if it's in front of me).
