Happy Wednesday All,
Recently I had Nerds (the candy) again. I haven't had those things in years. I can't eat too many of them now, but I remember now how good they are. Definitely a trip down memory lane.
I remember walking into the CVS when I lived in New Jersey (this was many moons ago). We'd walk from our house downtown. The CVS had lime green carpet and bright fluorescent lights. I always felt like I had just woken up and someone turned on a light and shined it in my eyes when I walked into that store.
What triggers memories for you? What candy takes you back to your childhood? Is the candy still available in stores? (For the record, you get Nerds at different stores--they were at my grocery store).
Have A Whimsical Wednesday!

My brother handed me a pack of Goldberg's Chocolate Chews; THAT brought back memories! I ate so many candy 'Boston Baked Beans' when I was very small,I can't bear to smell them any more. There used to be Bonomo's "Turkish"Taffy; Laffy Taffy has NOTHING on it...but they don't make that any more , either. What I remember most about candy when this old (57) gal was a kid was how cheap it was!
Stay cool,People, wherever you are.

Maybe they'll bring them back...you never know. Thanks for dropping by :-)
I think they still make Pop Rocks. I haven't had them, though. Sounds like good memories! Thanks for dropping by :-)
I've never had the Boston Baked Beans--but I'm pretty sure I've heard of them. Never had the Turkish Taffy, but I've had Laffy Taffy--not a big fan of it. Thanks for dropping by :-)
"I'm going waaaaaay back. My father used to love Chunky's. They were big squares of chocolate, with raisins and nuts inside. I sat in the rocker and ate them along with him. Sometimes, when I need a little comfort, I'll eat a piece of chocolate, and have a few raisins and nuts with it. Haven't seen a Chunky in years."
I've seen Ice Cream Bars called "Chunky", but I've never had them and I haven't had the candy, either. Thanks for dropping by :-) I'm sorry Blogger was giving you trouble again :-(
