My Favorite Products That Make My Life Easier

I'm sure you probably know from today to Friday (11th) is Prime Day.  If you remember my post about how I can keep this place up and running yearly, you know unfortunately Amazon is really the only way I can make that happen since I'm considered a 'mini' blogger.  My sassy thoughts doth not jibe with sponsors, my following is small (which I love actually) so Amazon affiliate links are the only way I can hit that target.   I will say that due to tariff pauses expiring at the end of day today, prices could go way up tomorrow (9th) so I would encourage you to buy today even though Prime Day doesn't end until the 11th.  I know I will be. I'm going to share products I love and if you check 'em out and buy them or anything on Amazon once you click through, it'll help me keep the place jumpin'.    Electric Spin Scrubber I can't begin to tell you the game changer this is especially for someone who isn't a clean freak.  The last thing my mind but mor...

Hump Day (Sort of) Holiday Poll


Today is apparently National Candy Day.  You can thank (or curse) France and Britain for bringing it to the US in the 18th century.  We've seen a lot of candy come and go in that time which brings us to today's hump day poll.

What discontinued candy do you miss from childhood?

Mine is the Bubble Burger hamburger gum from the 80's

It looks totally gross there but back in the day, each gum piece from the bun to burger to lettuce was separate, I probably chewed it for 10 seconds before it lost flavor and spit it out.  Others have tried to replicate something similar, usually in gummi form but it is nowhere near the same.  

Your turn...

  1. Hot & Cold Nerds. Nerds in general are still around but I loved the opposing flavours of "Hot" and "Cold". I remember that the hot was kinda like a cinnamon heart, but I can't describe the "Cold" flavour.

  2. Candy cigarettes. The mintish flavored ones. I don't think they are truly discontinued. There are some retro candy outlets where they can be ordered online. But since they are banned from candy stores due to the cigarette association so I'm counting it.

  3. Most candy you can still get, like Marathon bars are satisfied by Curly Wurly for me. But those gum hamburgers have never made it back and I would love to have one now if only just to prove how good they were and also how quickly the flavor went away.

  4. Dynamints is the first thing that comes to mind. The BEST cinnamon flavor hands down. Freshen Up Gum, Charms suckers that were flat and wrapped in colored cellophane with polka dots, and the "true" wacky wafers.
