What was your favorite candy when you were a kid? How does that compare to now?
My favorite candy? Pop Rocks? Lemonheads? Redhots?
When I was a boy, growing up in the seventies, there was an old-fashioned variety store in our small town. They had a lot of fabric and sewing material, and they had a lot of candy. I mean a lot of candy. They had a vast collection of what I now recognize as "antique" candy -- big pieces of taffy, etc. -- and a large glass counter of custom-made candy, sort of like the Brachs stuff you see nowadays. They had basebal cards and (eventually) Star Wars cards. They had Bottle Caps and Hot Tamales. I was a candy junkie, and I loved this store.
Nowadays I'm still a candy junkie. My belly proves it. Hot Tamales are still a favorite, but my top choice is Red Vines (and not those goddamn Twizzlers).
