Where'd That Candy Go?

You're a candy junkie and in withdrawal from the sweet treat that was (spitefully) discontinued OR maybe you just ate everything in stock. I'm going with option number two. What candy are you missing the most?

Fruit Stripe Gum

I wanted a zebra for a pet when this gum was popular. Both the treat and that pet idea didn’t last long.

You can still get these! My parents buy them for my sister and me. Love em.

I’ll have to search harder. The discontinued candy list writers must be a bit off to have listed it.

and I hope you answer it by satisfying your inner kid’s sweet tooth :)

As a fun dip addict, I’m sad to see that this interactive candy is harder to find on the shelves. But I have to admit that “shoving straight sugar into your mouth” is losing its allure.

I remember eating these after softball games. Mmm.

yes, from the concession stand. sweet reward after a victory! (or two after a loss).

Zotz!

Apparently there are a few places online that sell this retro candy but I haven’t seen it in stores for ages. Anyone else remember this hard candy with the fizzy center?

ooh I have never heard of this candy before. I am very tempted to buy it online and give it a try!

this reminds me of of lotsa fizz. apparently lotsa fizz has been discontinued. i found these at Walgreens today :) YUM

Ouch! Gum

Widget_almnlpt-ncfzmnotyksmg3

I have no clue why, but I used to think this band-aid shaped bubble gum was the coolest thing ever. Kind of gross, right? Who would ever think to make something like this?!

I totally forgot about this! thanks for sharing! what disturbs me the most is the large “ouch” on the label. candy shouldn’t imply pain. oh well, it was still tasty

So true! Nor should candy imply wounds that need band-aids. Right? Pretty gross, but perfect for kids who like weird things!

I don’t remember those, but I sure wanna have a few of these =D. how old are these things…

Thank the sweet heavens for online candy companies, like Nostalgic Candy, that round up some of the lost sugary treats for the maniacs who need their fix. But what scares me is that they offer free shipping for orders over $175. If you’re buying over 175 dollars worth of candy you have serious issues (and a fabulous dentist).

so typical to get rid of the sugar mama but keep the sugar baby. no respect for the elderly. ugh, candy age-ists.

Those are still around

619078008

I haven’t seen the sugar mamas in a while near me. and they were listed on the discontinued candy list. guess you’re the lucky one!

haha good point. I bet the dentists banned together and protested.

Bubbaloo Chewing Gum

If you’re the kid who ignored the trusty rule “never take candy from strangers” then you’re the perfect buyer for the crazies who sell discontinued candy on ebay. Just make sure not to nibble on anything with a broken seal or ripped wrapper-that’s just asking for a disease or nice trip to the hospital.

C. Howards Scented Gum

Widget_aafshdltdmn4yt-qctbxcp

if you like eating soap then you’ll love this gum. I don’t get the love for it, but I guess it’s an acquired taste (maybe if your parents were into that whole “cursing=soap in the mouth” thing).

I haven’t treated myself to this goodie either, but for some reason I need to have it now that it’s discontinued.

haha oh marketing!

What!??! I had some sort of bubble gum that had the liquid inside but this looks amazing!!

I know, and I don’t even like soda that much. I am very intrigued!

I bet lots of it can be found online? I might have to do a few searches!!

sad to hear that’s it’s discontinued :( I had no idea. what’s next? sour patch kids? because, if so, I will seriously freak out.

Lotsa Fizz

Widget_aikwapeorhdilfrqy2uqnd

Head’s Zott’s contribution reminded me of Lotsa Fizz, which were also quite awesome! They were hard candies with some sort of fizzy substance inside. I used to love these, but they made me tongue tingle when I ate too many!

I would cry myself to sleep every night if Strawberry Twizzlers were ever discontinued. The straws, not the nibbs.
