No more nasty taffy

No I don't no way no how do I like even look at Mary Jane's. There is something about the taste, how it looks and the annoyance that was one of the candies in my Halloween Bag that always appeared. I hate them don't why and yet hate is strong word but there is something about them.

Why would you name a candy that is tan brown and square after a little girl. Look at it, it is just wrong and the taste is just ECK like sandpaper.  It is also so hard that I that the one time I tried it literally couldn't get it out of my mouth and teeth. My dentist was not happy with that x-ray with the little piece of candy in my teeth. If you are going to name a candy after little girl, stick with pink & sweet and leave candy like that for seaman.

The Candy Is Mine

English: An Almond Joy bar, broken in half. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Candy and memories I can't remember many for when I eat candy I alone in my thoughts for I am too selfish to share with others.

I do enjoy the Halloween when I have to go looking for my almond joy, which by the way is really becoming a hot commodity since I don't see them any more in the bag when I check. I guess growing up in a home where candy was a luxury it had to be hidden since it was to be shared among others, I am pretty flexible but not like that since my siblings did the same. It was a quiet understanding but if one broke it, then the fists came out to defend our stash. Our mom did yell but we didn't say why other than he hit me or she is not be fair.

Mom was to never know and to this day I wonder if she did now but choose to stay away.

Gum of Yester Year

What I miss most is the candy from yesteryear available in stores today. When I was in school I carried he following two candies in my bag which one was Fruit Stripe Gum and another Fruit Stripe Gum and Howard's Gum which my mouth smelled like grapes.

The only time I was see them is at a Cracker Barrel or old time country store while on vacation. New York I think sometimes doesn't believe in keeping things from the past, it is time to move on and take the next big thing. With everyone finding to healthy the old candy was hard to find. It is mostly pure sugar some but I was fine nor was eating it consistently. Everything is moderation which is why I think certain things go off the shelf as fast as they do.

If I do see the Howard's Gum I plan on picking it up. As I write and look at the picture I am craving the taste for I wonder if it tastes the same or just tasted better when I was younger and smoking more.
