I'm sorry it is an old person candy now, sometimes you can get the grandma strawberries candy at these places also, this is how you know they are old person candies
They were old person candy when I was a kid and I'm over fifty.
My grandmother ate four Graham crackers with margarine on them for breakfast with a Dixie cup of skim milk then for the rest of the day she lived on evil, circus peanuts, and Sanka.
She was in her sixties when she passed away from a hospital-acquired infection in 2001. She hated drinking water too. She said drinking water made her sweat, which she considered to be the most undignified thing possible.
My *other* grandmother (paternal) would eat half a banana with a cup of hot water. She claimed a doctor told her coffee or tea would dissolve her bones. Meanwhile, my grandfather would drink a whole pot of Eight-O'clock coffee, black. Eating disorders on both sides of the family aren't great.
Gnoodle is now being sent 100 bags of durian fruit candy every major holiday, the die is cast, like telling your well-meaning aunt when you're like 7 that you like dolphins and now you get dolphin stuff every occasion for the remainder of your life
Just the worst. I have a soft spot for circus peanuts. Mom loved em and we used to split a bag in the parking lot after we went shopping but I totally get why people despise them
I love going to Mast General Store in North Carolina when we go up there because they have ALL the old candy, Moon Pies, and a whole bunch of old stuff.
Ooh, yeah. Also the stuff that's basically the inside of Butterfingers?
I was in Canada recently and they had a lot of this stuff at a place called The Bulk Barn; it was magical.
Oh shit. CHICK O STICKS is what those are called. In bulk candy stores i stock up on the old people essentials. Soft licorice, salt water taffy and when I actually find it horehound.
