For as long as I can remember, I've always had a soft spot for candy. All kinds and flavors, it didn't matter as long as it was sweet and interesting. When I think of the ones that I loved growing up, I'm surprised to realize that many of them can't be found in stores these days.
They used to be mainstays in candy stores, pharmacies, and grocery stores, but they seem to be gone and out of reach these days. Let's take a look at some of the more enjoyable candies from the past that no longer seem to exist.
Bonkers candy. Remember this one? It was a chewy candy. Really chewy in fact. There was one fruit flavor on the outside of the candy, with a second color and flavor on the inside.
From the grape and strawberry fruit flavors to a tasty chocolate flavored chewy candy, there was a lot to love about Bonkers. Unfortunately, they quietly removed themselves from the candy scene. This came as a surprise to me and many friends as well.
Juice box bubble gum. You'll probably remember these if you were around in the '80s. These came in mini juice cartons, and they came in flavors like orange and grape.
They were little pebble shaped drops of gum, and they were absolutely delicious. This was some of the best gum I've ever chewed. Again, it's been a really long time since I've seen these.
Let's make a foray into the chocolate world, looking at one of the bigger players of the '80s. The Mars bar was right up there with Milky Ways and the other big players. Somehow, they faded into oblivion somewhere along the way. What happened to the Mars bar?
Well, you'll be happy to know that they're "disguised" now, as the old Mars bar is now the Snickers almond bar that you see in many stores. If you're in the mood for a Mars bar, now you know exactly how to get your fix.
