Back when I was a child, I remember how I used to eat lots of different types of Candy. I suppose we all did then, I do not eat that much now, but the craving remains the same. I can’t help but notice that a lot of the Candy that we ate back then seems to have long gone off our shelves.

With all the massive advertisement campaigns that were shown on the television way back then, you would think that the candies were going to be about forever. Everyday there was a big named candy advertisement all aimed at selling their popular candies, but as time has gone by, a lot of these candies seem to have long since gone. Do you remember a few of these?

Do you remember back in the Eighties, a certain type of Chewy, fruity, yet creamy candy known as Bonkers? These were advertised all over the place, and of course kids loved them, but you cannot find these anywhere now!

Bonkers came in a variety of different flavors. A couple I remember were Watermelon and Strawberry, but the funny thing that I remember about this Candy was that shortly after introducing a Chocolate flavor, they just seemed to vanish from sight, strange but true.

Another of my favorites back then was the good old Bubble Gum. You used to be able to get them in a mini Juice box as well, although Bubble gum is still around it is not as popular today as it once was.

Today you get your Bubble Gum in sticks or a few pieces per pack. Back then, especially in the mini Juice box, you got lots of little pieces, and this meant that you had to grab a handful at once just to get the taste.

Mars bar was another popular choice way back then, but again do you see it on the shelves anymore?

Well actually there is now something that is called Snickers Almond on the shelves and the funny thing is that it looks and tastes just like the old Mars bar, should you ever try one, although there was not a big public announcement to tell people of this happening.

Yes I remember the good old days of candy, what sweet memories.
