I was a 70's kid, but a few of the 70's candies were still relevant in the 80's. Wax lips and candy cigarettes were both popular. We ate "penny candy," which was loose candy, usually wrapped, that you would fill a small bag and pay 25 cents. (This was around 1972 - 1976) I loved shoestrings, which was thin cherry or strawberry flavored licorice, squirrel nuts: some kind of seed mixed with molasses, Mary Jane: a peanut butter and molasses confection and SweeTarts, which was the texture of a chewable vitamin in a candy. There are too many candies to mention, but I also liked to freeze candy bars like Marathon and Charleston Chew. Another Holderness class that also touches the child in everyone. What's more important to a kid than candy? Thank you for another treasure.
@@megncurt7940 "Matty! It's Thriller! Oh, for Pete's sake! You taught it to me!" That being said, my favorite vintage candy is the tootsie rolls bites.
Yes! Whoppers, Sugar Daddy pops, Jolly Ranchers, Now n Laters those were the candies I grew up with. Interesting that none of these are my favorites now or even then. I always had more grown up tastes. Snickers, Almond Joy, Blow Pops
The two best moments were Lola asking “why would you give wax to a child” and that’s a fair question! AI’m sorry I’m still laughing about the water corn and syrup. Yup... water corn. Water corn. That’s gonna follow you through college till you get married and have your own kids... Water corn... syrup. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Yep that was fun thanks guys!!!! 💧🌽
I seem to remember that Red Indians (think that was what they were called and somehow THAT company didn't survive) were good for that. Ultra chewy or rock hard depending on the time of year. Anyone else remember these?
Boston Baked Beans and Lemonheads came in little boxes. There was a candy bar that had 5 or so different chocolate candies stuck together, like getting some See’s candy in a bar! These were the ones my brothers and I would hide before we had to divvy up rest of candy from younger siblings at Halloween. 🍬🍫🧛
I loved those, they gave you a puff of "smoke" (powdered sugar) a few times when you blew in then out with the end in your mouth, then you had q tasty piece of gum after you pretended to be cool for a bit. The tips were even dyed red. 🚬. They never caused me to want to smoke. Teal smoking smelled awful to me, but these smelled like a pack of baseball cards.
Bobbie Ma well I was born in 2007 so I have never had them,and I have no intention too! Nor do I have the intention to be cool. I would stink at being cool
@@thatchattycat1735 oh I stunk at being cool too. The only time I felt cool was with the fake cigs, until my brother made fun of me. 😒 And good for you for not needing to be cool. It means you think for yourself. Lot less trouble that way. 😰👍
Bobbie Ma yeah, I just lack lots of friends. I live with it though. I am also very quirky and non athletic. I have no intention to try to be cool. God made me this way,so I’m this way
I also remember going around with my brother and sister with our brown paper bags. We'd sit at the kitchen table and sort out the candy. I always traded away any candy with nuts in it. I wasn't allergic, just have never like nuts. (1950s and 60s)
And UNISEF boxes clanking on my chest while running from house to house in the Dark and ON Halloween in homemade costumes. A jacket?? Heaven forbid!!!!
I have to admit, I was in college in the 80s... My roommate and I kept Atomic Fireballs in the room at all times... The big ones. Worked better than coffee to wake you up if you got drowsy studying.
I was a child in the 1980s and I had never heard a cow Tails. In fat I didn't hear about them until maybe 4 years ago. The one candy I always think of if you say '80s candy is nerds those things were amazing and really special. It wasn't something I got all the time so when I got it it was a real treat.
Whatchamacallilt candy bar - I remember the ads. Begged Mom to get me one and the best part was a chocolate layer they had inside it. A few years later I got one and that layer was gone. Not many recall the original, sort of like the Cadbury Creme Eggs. I recall when they came out and the inside was creamy and the chocolate was so good. They changed the recipe in the 90's and they haven't been the same :( There were two kinds of candy cigarettes. One was the stick the other was gum rolled in paper (imagine the shape of a cigarette) and had powder in it. You blew and it looked like smoking. Never made me want to smoke. I liked the stick ones. Dunno what the fixation on tobacco themed candy, but there was gum called Big League Chew There's a lot of candies that stuck around, some can be hard to find, but there are a couple vintage candy sites. There's a couple vintage candy sites. You need to try powdered bubble gum if you can find it
Yes. As a kid in the 90s, I definitly remember them. It was one of the few national snacks that was certified kosher, at least kosher enough for my hasidic family.
Thank you Kim and Pen for re-living my childhood Halloween!! I love we are the same age and you remind me all things 80’s! Everything you showed , I use to think I was so cool with those candy cigarettes 😂
I remember getting wax lips from the penny candy section of 7 Eleven in the '70s when I was little. I'd wear them for a while. Then chew them until they lost their flavor or I got bored with it. Then throw it away. Same with the wax bottles.
I think our peanut butter crunch was different - that was break your teeth stuff down under. Budget conscious parents loved it cos could keep a kid busy all day
Black Cows, Skybars, Candy Necklaces, Zagnuts, Mary Janes , BitOHoney, MalloCups, Turkish Taffy, Satellite Wafers (we played "Communion" with those 😂). PS Lola has me really starting to wonder now what WaterCorn candy would taste like. I bet really good, like those popcorn jelly belly's. 🌽🌽
@@jojones1656 I know!!!!!!! I think that's why they were so popular. You could munch on candy in class until the string became visible, then they were confiscated, boys got caught sooner though due to wanting to wear them on the wrist. 😹😂😅 ⏩👵😠📏📚
Love Lola’s expressions! Bottle caps, dip sticks, still love a good old fashion brocks mix that you had to fill the bags. Have they tried that nasty hard Christmas candy lol it’s better to decorate with than eat. Lol
@@janzadventure101 I do. They are close. They're thinner though. At least in my memory the Marathon was a little thicker and tasted just a little different (probably because of the thickness) I order curly wurlys about once a year in the winter and just hoard them lol
For a start: Beemans Gum (featured in the film "The Right Stuff" and "The Rocketeer"), Blackjack Gum (licorice flavor), Powerhouse, Doublemint Gum, Royal Crown Sour Lemons, Chewels ("the gum that goes "Squirt!"), Butter Brickle (toffee to die for), Life Savors, Necco Wafers, Welch's Sugar Daddys.
The ONLY 1 I remember from your list were Life Savers but I'm Aussie and I think we had different candy (which we call lollies or chocolate depending what it is; or confectionary as a generic)
Hi Holderness family! My mother would give us Necco’s. Flavorless discs that came in a wax paper like roll. And she thought they were a treat. Ugh!! I still cringe when I occasionally see them. A few others that were big in the 80s were Mary Jane taffy like candies, Charms pops lollipops (we could get them in the school store). My favorite, Sugar Daddy Carmel lollipops and sugar babies were bite size pieces. I am pretty sure there is some place you can get these things. On line or at Cracker Barrel because they have a lot of retro candy. Was a fun video to watch!!!
First, I can't believe how grown up the kids are. WOW! Second, I think I went into sugar overload just watching lol. We had a bunch of those candies in the 70's too when I was a kid. It was great 😊
Here are some of my favorites circa 1985-1989: Fun Dip. Necco. Smarties. Root beer barrels. Brachs candies (caramels, fruity chews). All the tootsie candies. Nerds. Chupa Chups. Spree. Mini Skor bars. Zots (rare, but amazing). Bit o Honey. Lemonheads (Applehead, cherryheads) fun size big hunk. Charleston chew. Jolly Rancher fire sticks. I always liked getting the vampire wax lips but they tasted gross. Pretty sure my pancreas is taking a hit just thinking of all these.
The peanut butter bars , chic o' sticks and watchamacallit's were bomb and we used to get the wax lips and wax cola and fruit juice bottles as fun little stocking stuffers during Christmas along with the traditional oranges an apple or two and the crispy chocolate Santa's and coins. My step dad kept a stash of the peanut butter bars and chic o sticks in the glove box of his ol 69 Ford truck lol lol ,fond memories of my 80s childhood!!👌👍😁😁😁😎
The warheads weren't a candy in the 80's but the one thing I remember that was close was the Atomic Fireball. I'm not sure if they've toned them down since the 80's but I remember not being able to keep one in my mouth the whole time.
You can still find the candy cigarettes and a lot of that stuff, in Lombard, IL. There is a candy shop there that has all the old stuff. Even the dots. I loved the Pop Rocks! You should have your kids put them in pop!😋😎👍 Peace be with you! BTW I love your candy machine for trick or treat!👍👍
I don't know what they were called but those root beer flavored disks - NOT the barrels, they're an entirely different candy experience. When I wanted to round out the meal I'd also buy a Fresh and Tasty Peaches and Cream drink and a big bag of O'Ryan's Sour Cream and Onion chips. I don't think they make any of those anymore. Man those chips were so good we'd even eat the dust at the bottom. BOTTLECAPS! I just read someone else's post below me and that's what the are!!! I've been trying to figure that out for YEARS!
My dad would bring home Atomic Fireballs and Lemon Heads. ❤ but if I was stuck watching my brother play baseball it was Fun Dip or Pixie Stix from the snack bar. Lola, I didn't get the wax lips either.
I used to be kind of obsessed with candy cigarettes! They had that wintermint sort of flavor and I thought I was very cool pretending to smoke. They forgot to add Big League Chew, Boston Baked Beans, Chiclets and Whistle Pops in your box! 🍭
Lol, I work in a country store with a long candy counter, specializing in nostalgia. We sell almost all of those, and lots of them! (I didn't know Warheads have been around since the 80s; I thought those were more recent.)
Tootsie Rolls Candy Corn Chocolate inside Lollipop And of course my all time favorite AIRHEADS Cherry or Blue Raspberry Individually wrapped full sized bars, Google.com says about this candy, "Nothing beats the tremendously tangy, playfully chewy chew of Airheads candy!" When I did games at my childhood in 2003 I would get excited over winning AirHeads for candy. My sisters favorite was tootsie rolls. Those chocolate rolls were too hard to chew the chocolate and it hurt my teeth but was delicious. Thank you for doing this video I feel like a kid again remembering my favorite prizes as a child. 1.AirHeads 2. Tootsie Rolls 3. Tootsie Pops candy (basically tootsie chocolate inside the lollipop) 4. Dum*Dums Lollipops My favorite flavor was Rootbeer 5. Of course who could resist See's Candies Lollipops Caramel or Butterscotch 6. Gummy worms 7. Smarties 8. Gum Drops 9. Nerds 10. Rascals Fruit Shaped Candy 11. Kisses chocolate
The candy cigarettes here are a stick of...sort of a powdery hard-ish candy? Hard to describe. They were quite a thing in the 50s and 60s when I was growing up. I was really surprised when they WEREN'T a thing in the 90s, when I was shopping with my kids. They were called something else and no longer had the red fake-fire tip.
It took so long for TH-cam to show me this. But my favorite of all of those was the Whatchamacallit bar. Of the rest...I've tried candy cigarettes, those flavored wax bottles, and Pop Rocks and soda...oh no...stomach exploding. 😄 I've heard of Razzles and wax lips, but never tried them. I never heard of the rest. How about Fruit by the Foot -- technically that has enough extra sugar to be candy. Water corn😆🤣 that was a good one! I wasn't any good at grammar until I was in my 20s, so I can relate.
Ha! Best line " It's water, corn syrup- School is going great!"
Lol 😂
Lol
😂🤣😂🤣
😂
Suki Johnson I loved lola’s response with water corn though.
"It's WAX , Why would you give wax to children?" Hahaha Lola cracks me up!!
Right??!!
I never understood those candies... are they candies?
Exactly. Lola had some gold lines in this.
NEVER EAT WAX
I'm still trying to figure out why we give iPads to kids, but we do....
Penn's surprised look at Lola folding that candy like he's discovered that she's fluent in Bulgarian.
Mark Hanson I wonder if the laws of Physics don’t apply to Cow Tails? How can there be MORE CANDY by just folding it over? LMAO
@@suzannahstan Preach!
That’s funny
“Don’t eat cigarettes kids”😂😂😂😂
Ok, I won’t. I am a kid, so I can respond to that.
Or if you do, you will probably never do it a second time because that sounds pretty horrible. 🤷🏻♂️
Those candy cigarettes tasted awful. Penn is absolutely correct “Don’t eat cigarettes kids.”
it’s candy tho they probably taste good
I loved the candy cigarettes. We used to get them a lot
My favorite candy even now is a Whatchamacalit. I love when you do these retro videos with the kids! Keep it up!
Haha! I remember all of these. Razzles and Whatchamacallits were my favorite. Do you remember the little colored sugar dots on paper rolls? 😂
I loved those! That is the first candy I thought of
Yes!!!! I hated the dots that wouldn't come off the paper and you got more paper chewing them than dot.
My parents would buy us those candy dots on paper and candy necklaces whenever we went to Farrell's.
Buttons
@@laurawhite587 I think you are right, I think they were called candy buttons.
Fave 80s candy was Gobstoppers!!
Gobstoppers are my favorite candy ever
Fruit stripes gum, abba zaba, whoppers & orange tictacs 😂 I’d eat a whole tic tac container in one sitting when I was little 😂
Sixlets and mallow cups were always my favorite find in my pillowcase post-trick-or-treating!

WHOPPERS candy in the milk carton. Sold at K Mart. Flashing blue light special. I know I'm old.
My Grama use to get Whoppers all the time when I was a kid. I love them! We just recently bought her a box of them.
I ran those blue lites specials,,and waited to buy what didn't sell as a bonus,,now who's old

I actually traded Snickers and Reese's from my Halloween loot for those as a kid 👌👍👊😁😂😂😂
They still make this!!

Also the drink like squirt or something
Yup. My Halloween that.👍🏽

We have a throwback candy store near me that has every kind of candy you can think of. Such a fun store!

🤣🤣🤣🤣
😮😮😮 did you eat the whole package at once?!
@@jennchubb3200 Who didn't back then? You ripped it open and dumped it all in your mouth.

Jelly nougats. They still make them but they're circles now instead of cubes.
Beecham's gum, blackjack gum, cloves gum, sen-sen

Apparently we had different candy in the 80s in Canada. I recognize some of those things but not many.
Canada still has some candy we can't get in US but now some border towns are getting coffee crisp and aero bars😋
Canada has the best candy. I still miss Candy from there when we moved to the US
I remember bubble gum tape... it was so exciting to get because you knew you just got soooooo much gum and all at once!
“ They give these out at the air port”! 😂😂😂😂 and “ ASMR!”🤣🤣🤣
I love the episodes where you have the kids try 80s things!
War heads were the favorite in my house growing up. My brothers and I used to challenge eachother with war heads all the time lol.
Pro tip: pouring Pop rocks into liquid both sweetens and carbonates it. I used them for a Harry Potter potions table
Fizz!! Little round candies that had a fizzing center...They still make them too!
And Nerds... how can you go wrong with a box of nerds!?
Remember Zotz? Very similar and delicious!
They still have the candy cigarettes in a few places. My daughter and I are in Virginia and she’s up to a pack a week or so. 😂

I love Razzles!! Used to be my favorite candy in elementary school.
Yeah, the wax lips and soda bottles! (Also, mustaches!) I used to love those! You'd chew on the wax for a while, then spit it out. Like chewing gum.
You're missing candy necklaces, Astro Pops, Fundip, those strawberry candies that no one remembers the name of, Runts.
My dad would bring home Atomic Fireballs and Lemon Heads. ❤ but if I was stuck watching my brother play baseball it was Fun Dip or Pixie Stix from the snack bar. Lola, I didn't get the wax lips either.
I used to be kind of obsessed with candy cigarettes! They had that wintermint sort of flavor and I thought I was very cool pretending to smoke. They forgot to add Big League Chew, Boston Baked Beans, Chiclets and Whistle Pops in your box! 🍭
Root beer barrels, Necco wafers, Teaberry gum. 😋
Whatchamacallit candy bars still taste great and still my favorite candy bar. 🥰
Keeping count of 80s candy that I remember from, um, earlier than that: wax lips, wax bottles (Nik-L-Nip), candy cigs.
Chick-o-sticks were my favorite!!
Taste like butterfingers minus the chocolate coating
I thought for a sec you were talking about chiccos but those were these chewy things that tasted kinda like combination of chocolate and cola
Sour apple candy, sour patch kids, bonkers, and juju fish 😉
I was born in 2008 and I’ve had almost all of these and loved them.
Lol, I work in a country store with a long candy counter, specializing in nostalgia. We sell almost all of those, and lots of them!
(I didn't know Warheads have been around since the 80s; I thought those were more recent.)
Tootsie Rolls
Candy Corn
Chocolate inside Lollipop
And of course my all time favorite
AIRHEADS Cherry or Blue Raspberry
Individually wrapped full sized bars,
Google.com says about this candy,
"Nothing beats the tremendously tangy, playfully chewy chew of Airheads candy!"
When I did games at my childhood in 2003 I would get excited over winning AirHeads for candy. My sisters favorite was tootsie rolls. Those chocolate rolls were too hard to chew the chocolate and it hurt my teeth but was delicious. Thank you for doing this video I feel like a kid again remembering my favorite prizes as a child.

Marathon bar. Now Cadbury calls it the Curly Wurly.
Yes! Marathons were the best!
Wow, had totally forgotten that! And now I'm getting flashbacks of the packaging (can't remember flavour)
@@susie9893 I remember the commercial.
Its just chocolate and caramel, really good though.
@@jmert_5859 well chocolate and caramel is a classic
No joke. They still sell the chewing gum cigarettes in Switzerland 💩
The candy cigarettes here are a stick of...sort of a powdery hard-ish candy? Hard to describe. They were quite a thing in the 50s and 60s when I was growing up. I was really surprised when they WEREN'T a thing in the 90s, when I was shopping with my kids. They were called something else and no longer had the red fake-fire tip.
They sell them in the UK too
Ann Brookens It’s thin chalk with a little bit of sugar in it.
Speak the Truth I think they do as a gimmick for celebrating birth of a baby - come in blue or pink...
@Speak the Truth they did a few years ago, my brother thought it was so funny when he was 7
The kid's faces were awesome!! I always ended up with Good-n-Plentys in my bag....Always!
Ok. It’s official. Lola needs her own channel
Hey! *I’m* Candy from the 80’s too! 🤓😂
I LOVE Lolas reactions. They're fantastic.
The "Water corn" part really made me crack up!
Whatchamacallits!!! My absolute favorite candy bar of all time!
I love pop rocks. when PC makes his " popping" noise it cracks me up
You forgot now -n- later: sour apple always got us detention due to teachers thinking we smelled like pot🤣🤣🤣
It took so long for TH-cam to show me this. But my favorite of all of those was the Whatchamacallit bar.
Of the rest...I've tried candy cigarettes, those flavored wax bottles, and Pop Rocks and soda...oh no...stomach exploding. 😄
I've heard of Razzles and wax lips, but never tried them. I never heard of the rest.
How about Fruit by the Foot -- technically that has enough extra sugar to be candy.
Water corn😆🤣 that was a good one! I wasn't any good at grammar until I was in my 20s, so I can relate.
This was such a fun video. I loved it .❤️💕💙💜💗🥰
Loved this issue! Brought back lots of memories!
