    Oh Bottle Caps. How I don't miss thou's sugary teeth-rotting goodness.

    Anybody have an urge, after looking at that site, to grab some pop rocks and a coke and test the old myth? :D

    Bottle Caps were fantastic.

    I liked them, but like I said, I don't miss the tooth rot. I've got enough problems as it is.

    Root beer was the best.

    Love Reese' peanut butter cups, the regular size.

    The King Cup, or whatever it is called, throws the flavor proportions way out of whack and makes it nasty. And by nasty, I mean while you are eating it, and then again about an hour later.

    How anyone can dislike Mike and Ike's (original flavor) is beyond me. Some of the flavor variations don't work as well. I will saw, eating a stale or hard Mike and Ike is awful, but such is true for any candy.

    Grab some Mentos while you're at it and have some real fun.

    That old time site is great.. remember waxed lips and the little wax bottles that had some kind of sugar-juice in them? The one that kills me because it vanished, there was this fudge bar when I was little. The inside of the bar was fudge of some sort and the outside chocolate. The wrapper was blue. Can't remember the name. It vanished and I've been missing it for more than 30 years.

    Speaking of old time candy, I have a Blow Pop that's been in my desk drawer at work since at least 2002. Just never got around to eating it. After a while, I wrote the year on the wrapper and decided to wait and see how long it would take to disintegrate.
    There's also a cough drop that's been in there since I inherited the desk in 1998.

    Disagree, and remain most-disturbed at the apparent disappearance of Switzer's black-licorice BITS (not the ropes, the BITS) from the nation's candy displays.

    That Blow Pop will probably outlive you.
