Not sure if this is nostalgia.... they are still around. Have a big bag of them in the pantry right now.

But do you still smoke them like cigarettes? You are right now, aren't you?!

I used to when I was a kid. Than I tried a few cigs and thought it was extremely disgusting flavor. Never did it again.

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.

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 :(

You mean you didn't get the chocolate ones? Those were the best!

Izdabye ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 22:13:13 on October 24, 2012 ยท (Permalink)

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.

It all makes sense now, my addiction to cigarettes started way before I even knew about them. Thanks mom!

My friends and I preferred the fat rods. We pretended they were Cubans.

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

Conversely, I preferred the super thin ones, namely the Mr. Salty variety.

Senjiroh ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 16:12:35 on October 24, 2012 ยท (Permalink)

I remember licking all the salt off, then thinking they taste of nothing and suck.

Then proceeding to do the same.

Again and again.

Does that count?

Kris18 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 22:32:27 on October 24, 2012 ยท (Permalink)

I still liked the pretzels without the salt, but I did this too.

Damn right I remember. Nine years old:

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 lost it at the snub nose, im sure we all did this with cap guns

And if you take a bite out of the "lit" end, you can tap it with your finger into an ashtray and little crumbs will fall off like ash!

Check the Asian section of Walmart, or any Asian grocer.

When I was in kindergarten, I pretended to smoke one during snack time while my mom was helping with the class, and my teacher was shooting her daggers the rest of the day.

I used to fit a whole handful in and pretend I was just that hardcore and smoke like 25 of em.

The real fun starts when you're in your teens, quite drunk and actually start lighting and smoking them.. not my proudest moment.

I remember telling a girl that they were NOT cigarettes in kindergarten and she told on me. My teacher told me that I wasn't "going to have a very nice summer" if I "kept it up." :/ ....... :(

Not sure why you used quotations there. A buddy of mine and I actually lit these on fire and smoked them. And we inhaled.

When I found the bubblegum ones you could blow through to make "smoke" I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

I actually did smoke these at some point during my "lighting stuff on fire" phase. I must say, it was pretty smooth.

Not nostalgia. They still sell these on a regular basis and kids still smoke them. Now if this was a pic of the candy cigarettes that actually were designed to look like cigarettes then I'd be all over it.
