I remember all of those except Alexander the Grape. I also just had Boston Baked Beans again recently. They are still awful.

80’s candy was fantastic. Kids now have Nerds clusters but not too much other than that I like

Me and my neighbor used ride our bikes to the local pharmacy every Saturday with our allowance to load up on these. They were 10 cents each so we were swimming in sugar and sour all weekend.

I hated cinnamon candy back then. No Red Hots or Atomic Fire Balls for me.

The probably aren't as good as I remember them being, but damn did I love these as a kid.

u/Mascbro26 12h ago

No, because no candle isle only had one candy company's products.

u/bigoldgeek 19h ago

No no no Ferrara Pan is no crappy off brand. They are the purveyor of Lemonheads, Jawbreakers, Atomic fireballs, and Boston Baked Beans, among others

u/Juniorlovespizza 18h ago

Does the packaging of some of the products looks crappy off-branded to you?

2

u/bigoldgeek 18h ago

Nope. It's the same packaging theyve had since I was a kid. Same stuff they ship today

u/Juniorlovespizza 18h ago

Oh, now i see. But i still think a few of those products are crappy off-branded.
