    Always ate through the box of Space Food Sticks. I can still remember what they were like to eat. Never cared for the Marathon Bar... too chewy that stuck to my teeth. Loved Freshen-up Gum... that liquid center was a great strong flavor burst. Liked Wacky Wafers.. but not as much as the Giant Sweet -Tarts (which were my favorite candy growing up- but disappeared- I think for being a choking hazard, though I never had a problem with that). Never tried PBMax, Danish Go-Rounds, Choco-diles, Fizzies, Pizza Spins, Choc-aid, Boppers, Amazin-raison, Bonkers, Giggles cookies, Whistles, Crazy Cow cereal. Didn't like the paper on the cigarette candy (could never get all the paper off)... but had fun pretending to smoke like the grown-ups. Sugar Daddy/Babies were so sticky and chewy to eat (my mom loved them). Koogle-was not a fan of the mix of flavors (but brother liked it). Yellow Zonkers were okay.

    I remember Screaming Yellow Zookers and Marathon bars, but the one that I remember the most was the PB cany bar. I used to get those at the gas station that I used to stop at in the '80. But I also remember the Stace Food Sticks and thought that they were quite good, but hay, what do I know? See I'm a baby boomer and remember when man walked on the moon.

    I remember those Sugar Mama candy sticks. We used to stretch them so long before they would finally snap and that’s how we managed to get a bite. They were so sticky! I grew up in the 80’s but I remember some of the 70’s snacks. I love these videos!

    Space Food Sticks tasted AWFUL; but we felt so global eating them. And we used to call Freshen Up, Come Gum. Well, it was the sexual revolution. Danish Go Rounds were Nasty. And candy cigarettes were simply the greatest. I could use a pack today.

    PB Max bars must have had a re-release then, because I distinctly remember buying them from Perry Drugs on breaks from my summer job in high school back in 1991. Loved them! Also, the Freshen Up gum went away, but I remember A&W Root Beer-flavored gum that had the gel in the middle during the mid to late '80s.

    The only ones I ever tried were Marathon Bars. They were not as great a deal as made out to be. Sure they were 8 inches long and an inch wide, but they were only about 1/8 of an inch thick and they had holes in them. The whole bar was only a bit over 1 oz. Probably about one-third the weight of most candy bars. Taste was okay, but not great.
