Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's

Candy Edition!

I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party.  It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her.  Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th.  I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time.  One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table.  I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time.   People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites.

I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through.

I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's:

Cherry Blow Pops

Strawberry Pop Rocks

Smarties

Those horrid Candy Buttons on Paper

Original Big League Chew

Nerds

Bubble Tape

Regular Cow Tales

Melody Pops

Bit O Honey

Mary Janes

Astro Pop (more for the look- they tasted like crap!)

Fun Dip

Candy Cigarettes

Bubble Gum Cigarettes

Candy Necklace

Butter Rum Life Savers

Chicles Bubble Gum

What candies would be in your party baskets to take you and your guests back to your childhood?
