we spent all day making candy to earn candy
candy was a staple of most of our
childhoods the sweet treats that line
the counters and convenience stores are
little reminders of when you would pull
at your parents pant leg and request a
snack candy has the potential of
bringing on waves of nostalgia but some
candy is discontinued faded to only be
enjoyed in our memories
here are 10 discontinued candies we miss
that'll be like taking candy from a baby
garbage candy ready for a blast from the
past
remember the little garbage bins that
came in many colors and fit perfectly
into your little child sized hands if
you lift at the top of the bin you could
see inside to your treats which were
shaped like garbage bottles and fish
bones
I guess recycling and compost was not
being separated then funny isn't it this
candy would not really work with today's
youth because garbage does not actually
look the way it used to that's my
character I'm the trash man now we have
bins upon bins upon bins which are all
used for different purposes
garbage compost recycling times change
and with them candies change to what
works for children and the parents in
the past does not necessarily fly
anymore even the beloved Oscar the
Grouch from Sesame Street who lives in a
garbage can and sings songs like I love
trash has spent sometimes in a recycling
bin onwards and upwards
what the hell I'll just eat some trash
hubba bubba squeeze pop like excuse me
but have you ever heard of styling gel
remember these they came in very little
bottles almost like the travel-size
toothpaste but this was not something
you would ever want to use to brush your
teeth that sounds absolutely horrible
doesn't it well being a kid and
squirting the tube into your mouth to
eat it is not so far off from actually
brushing with it this candy must have
been discontinued for the obvious reason
that it was just the worst thing for
your teeth oh my god by gum there are so
many candies that are bad for your
dental health as well as your overall
physical well-being
however this
is really the next level this candy
would coat your teeth and sugar remember
how it would make your mouth change
color though there are so many candies
we miss this one may not be the one we
are dying to have return to the shelves
if you count yourself as a die-hard fan
of them don't be shy it is totally
normal to want to destroy your enamel
and get cavities because it makes you
think of being a child
no judgment none at all we'd get why you
miss this we miss it too do we actually
miss it or miss it ironically hard to
tell but we miss it all the same that is
so nice I miss you too bazooka bubble
gum bazooka you remembered now some may
be thinking hey I saw bazooka bubble gum
for sale at Walmart just last week well
yes you are correct this gum is not
actually discontinued what is
discontinued are the infamous comic
strips that came with the gum so even
though you are still able to buy the
actual gum you cannot get the comic
strip and where is the fun in that
bazooka bubble gum was introduced during
the Second World War from a company
based in Brooklyn the gum was packaged
in patriotic red white and blue and
there was always a comic wrapped around
your gum the comic was very popular and
some may even say the biggest selling
point of this candy in the comic you
could follow along the adventures and
follies of one specific character
Bazooka Joe as far as I'm concerned
that's America's ass there are a total
of 1535 of these comic strips you can
try to collect them if you dare surely
having such a stash would be worth a
fortune
considering you can no longer buy the
gum with the comic included apparently
the company thought the comic was no
longer appealing to young people they
revamped their brand by taking away its
most prominent feature those of you out
there who bought the gum during its
comic covered years surely miss the
trusty character it came with those who
have no idea what or who this bazooka
Joe guy was well straight up you missed
out it's called carpe diem Morty look at
Bunker x'
anyone remembered the tagline bonkers
bonks to do then you may also remember
the hilarious weird and somewhat
frightening commercials for this candy
the washed-out living room and very drab
people who look like they belong in Twin
Peaks rather than a kids candy
commercial remember bonkers was notable
because of its commercials which
featured boring people who were then
literally bombed out by the flavor of
the candy really giant fruit fell from
the sky and landed on their heads
that's good advertising now it has the
ability to stick with you and is showing
you how impactful their product is if
you are a visual learner then this
display of marketing is really the one
for you I'm no facts or figures just a
straight-up example of what happens when
you eat this candy apparently the rights
to this candy were bought and there were
rumors that it would be coming back into
circulation boy who wouldn't want to see
the commercials now would they keep the
same idea behind the campaign only time
will tell
watch out for this candy in stores and
whether you want to reminisce or you
actually just never knew about this
candy and it's commercials you should
check them out online you will not
regret watching the bonkers commercial
which is just so bonkers that it works
oh my god it's a pretty hardcore stuff
cinnamon Tic Tacs you definitely need
some tic tacs or something cuz your
breath stinks the next item on our long
list of discontinued candies we miss so
desperately as desperately as Jaime
Lannister missed his hand are the ever
so delicious cinnamon tic tacs yes they
are gone surprising isn't it they were
probably not something you bought all
the time but when you did you loved them
right well that seems to be the case for
everyone there are posts all over the
socials that ask where they have gone or
ponder their removal there are even
polls did you love them or hate them
that kind of thing
Kelly what the hell kind of circus is
this you're telling me this is their
legal process you know something has
really reached people when there is a
pole for it online right is that how
things work these days
anyway the real point here is that these
cinnamon tic tacs are gone and that
makes us sad what is even sadder is some
of us may not have known they were even
gone until now sorry to be the bearer of
bad news don't kill the messenger
mmm crispy M&Ms
up next we have M&M krispies this treat
was only discontinued because it was
intended to be a limited edition there
was nothing wrong with the candy and
clearly the company is still rocking and
rolling so there is no shocking reason
why it disappeared from the shelves
never fear though this candy comes back
around now and then how could it not
when a candy is as successful as this
one was do you really think that the
company would just let it die not a
chance
money must be made where and when it can
a sweet smell of an all-day sucker
mmm crispy candies were originally
marketed and sold in 1999 they were
taken off the market in the United
States but remained available in Europe
for some time now you have to hunt for
them and hope that for some holiday or
special anniversary or even some
marketing event like the Super Bowl or
something that the product will
resurface look for them they are bound
to return some discontinued candies did
not stay discontinued forever a timely
resurrection is bound to happen if the
people keep demanding it then the
company is bound to give it look at me
milkshake chocolate bar I drink your
milkshake
the milkshake chocolate bar was
introduced in the 1920s right around the
time the Milky Way bar was also launched
it was produced by the now out of
business
Hollywood candy carbonate both bars were
marketed in a similar color scheme and
had relatively matching flavor profiles
they both were made from milk chocolate
caramel and nougat the biggest
difference was that milkshakes nougat
was malted some may even say this bar
tasted kind of like a Three Musketeers
bar what's wrong with Three Musketeers
watch Three Musketeers yeah it's just
nougat apparently if you put this
chocolate bar into the freezer you can
enjoy it cold on hot summer days you
could put
anything into the freezer though if you
really want it to this bar had nothing
truly exceptional going for it but also
nothing really wrong with it either it
was slowly phased out by leaf candy
company who acquired Hollywood Candy
Company in 1988 some may remember
grandpa or grandma eating a milk show
car or even mom or dad
they were yummy they were a classic they
just did not have the little something
special they needed to stay around
giant Pixy Stix
there's my carton of Pixy Stix in no it
doesn't come in yet yes yes yes you can
still buy giant Pixy Stix they are not
actually discontinued that being said
they are half the size they once were
therefore they are exactly half the fun
and precisely half the candy they used
to be can we then say they are half
discontinued that we miss half of the
candy that we want that other half back
because now it is not as exciting as it
was to eat the giant Pixy Stix can we
even say that this stick isn't giant
anymore what constitutes as giant has
the average child shrunk over time and
that is the reason why the stick had to
get shorter too
do you know how long I've waited to tell
a tall person jokes no the answer is no
kids are not necessarily shrinking but
the amount of acceptable sugar a person
is to ingest is when you think about it
that way then it's alright that the
stick is half the size we guess maybe it
is okay it is a conflicting situation
because there is a valid reason why the
giant Pixy Stix is smaller however if
you grew up with the stick being bigger
you are mad it is smaller
imagine yourself throwing up a hand to
your forehead in mock mental
exasperation the drama of it all while
humor can be found in this predicament
it is still a valid question it may have
you thinking about your values are you
the kind of person who says no to the
shorter Pixy Stix because of history and
your childhood memories or are you the
kind of person who is looking ahead at
the rise of obesity rates and health
problems caused by sugar
now wishing they made the stick even
smaller I think it's good to notice but
whatever Chiclets
next thing you know we selling Chiclets
in the street no Halloween looting was
ever complete without boxes upon boxes
of Chiclets many people will remember
the two-piece pack that was surely among
Halloween hoards for years back in the
day what Halloween lasted longer into
the evening kids generally went out in
big groups and pillowcases were not only
used but often not even big enough for
the candy given out back in those times
Chiclets were extremely popular because
really if you were going to have gum did
you want to have Chiclets you did not
then but now you do now you remember
them fondly and think about them with
warm thoughts how clever it was to have
fun in a two-piece pack oh they were so
perfect for their time they are missed
and remembered every Halloween that is
for sure
