I loved those. Found some in a Mexican/Asian grocery store a few months ago and got all excited for yummy candy goodness, they tasted like slightly sweetened chalk, so disappointed :(

I loved those ones! Peeling off that thin white paper to snap off an inch of chocolate was the best. I feel sorry for kids today for not getting to have stuff like that.

my friend was rich and had stock piles of candy. for some reason rolls of starburst were cubans to us, i dunno why but they were. maybe they were more valuable lol.
i know what you mean about the fat rods though, id puff on those until they became soggy
Leaning back in the chair (squeeeek), boots crossed on the table, smokin a pretzel stick, my little fingers wrapped around a glass of single-malt (half water of course), swirling a snubnose around my finger.

I "smoked" everything as a kid - candy cigarettes, pretzel sticks, lollipops, pens, etc.
I grew up to be a non-smoking adult. But I still "smoke" pretzel sticks and pens when nobody's looking.
