What types of candy do you tie with your childhood memories?
One of the first things that comes to mind for me is pixie stix. Now that I'm a parent I can't believe how much of them I ate, so bad!

Haribo gummy bears. We lived in Holland for 3 years (they weren't available in Canada) and my mom used to send little packages of them in my lunch.

I was a candy crazy kid! I loved anything packed full of fruity sugar: Sprees, Sweetarts, giant jawbreakers, ect.
@wrkbrk: I totally know what you are talking about, Fun Dips! SOOOO gross but they remind me of watching my sister play softball, they were available at the concession stands!

War heads. I used to always test myself and see how many I could eat at a time.

Hershey's kisses with almonds when I was super little. Skittles, nerds, butterfinger bebes, junior mints, smarties, warheads, lifesavers. We ate a lot of candy apparently.

Those sheets of paper that had those small little candy dots on them. How gross!
And wax tubes filled with some kind of liquid. Does anyone remember them?
Later on I think red hots and those really sour jawbreaker things. Gummy peach rings.
So much YUCK!

My dad would give me a KitKat after getting vaccines and shots!
In elementary school there was a craze for sour lemons, the kind with the super acidic powder coating, we used to have competitions to see who could keep them in their mouths the longest.
In Jr high, we had a fundraiser selling kudos granola bars after school. Omg I ate so many... are those still around?
In my teenage years, my friends and I used to love snacking on sour patch kids and Snapple.
Just remembered! Bazooka bubble gum, we used to stop in at 7-11 on the walk home from school and get these, or blow pops (lollipops with gum inside)...
And I wondered why I was a fat kid...

Spice Girls gum, the ones with the stickers in it. I think I still have a sticker book somewhere full of them!
I use to love Ring Pops too.

After I got my braces off in 6th grade, I remember my parents bought me a whole box of Charleston Chews (they were my favorite and I wasn't allowed to eat them because they'd pull my braces off). I used to freeze them and crack them into tiny pieces before eating them.
