It was actually stories from my mom that got us looking for them. And we were lucky enough to find them at a little neighborhood store there. I haven't seen them anywhere else though. <BR/><BR/>As a kid, my faves were the Saran wrapped CHUNKS of milk chocolate slabs from Josephs Bi-Rite Market in Bishop, CA. I've been a chocoholic ever since. And, then there were the 3-pack of Twinkies. The T.V. shows say they're the same as they were back then, but I have to disagree! I don't think they are as light and fluffy as before, and they seem much oily-er (is that even a word?) than they used to be...<BR/><BR/>Hope you're having a fun-filled cruise.<BR/><BR/>Tina<BR/>patinamarie.blogspot.comTina Schieferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018142376517882804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-47141737918142633732008-10-03T17:12:00.000-07:002008-10-03T17:12:00.000-07:00I remember many of those!Thanks for the memories!I remember many of those!<BR/>Thanks for the memories!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669005670975889101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-18554745778882637092008-10-03T15:15:00.000-07:002008-10-03T15:15:00.000-07:00I think I'm way too hungry to be looking at this p...I think I'm way too hungry to be looking at this post right now!

It has been one of those times when you feel like you just can't quite catch your breath yet, I can't seem to bear sitting at my computer when I have so much needing to be done! Josh is homeschooling now on top of it all...<BR/><BR/>I loved, loved, loved the 7 Up bars, everyone told me I was making that whole thing up about the chocolate bars, they did not believe me until I proved it to them online with pictures and discriptions! They were my all time favorite candy bar, and always will be, YUMMY YUM YUM!!<BR/>I sure wish someone would make these again don't you?<BR/><BR/>Hope all is well in your world, would love to talk and catch up. I still need to do some more posts on the wedding, Victoria's visit etc. but I sit here and just go blank and then walk away, SIGH!<BR/><BR/>Much love and hugs to you!<BR/>Donna LynnDonna Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199541594618454494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-5978719453727606152008-10-01T21:15:00.000-07:002008-10-01T21:15:00.000-07:00Now I'm hungry!

I miss the 7-up bar, it was so good, loved to pick it apart and save the orange one for last. One time Don swallowed a fizzie and it got stuck in his throat - he had to drink water and the more he drank the more it fizzed until it was small enough to finish going down - silly boy. Chick 'o stick were delicious and wax bottles were icky - but we still bought them. Somewhere there is a web site that sells "old" candies.

They tasted stale to me too. <BR/>I'm old enough to remember candy cigarrettes (the gum was gross). It's funny, because around here, you can't even smoke in public.

Now they seem to just taste like dust and the Necco Wafers like chalk. My grandmother always had the Fizzies and we would drink them from the funky colored aluminum tumblers. Thinking of that conjures such an image in my mind.
