So, after my past thread on candy, I've found some of the candies that people thought were gone.
Skor bars were at my local Circle K.
I found Tart n Tinys and Bottle Caps at Dollar Tree.
Anyone else come across candy that others thought were no longer manufactured?

Am I the only one that saw this headline and thought John Candy had come back from the dead? What a tease!

I'm talented and can make men come back from the dead, but not that way.

I've been seeing Big League Chew around a lot more lately (bubblegum sold shredded and in a pouch, like chewing tobacco. You know, for kids!).
I bought a pack of Bazooka Joe the other day. It was very good and reminiscence-inducing, but loses its flavor much too quickly. *drools over baseball card bubble gum*
Hmm...I saw Fun Dip for sale recently (flavored powder with a sweet chalky white stick that you lick, then dip into the powder, then lick the powder off...repeat. Then eat the stick.)
That's all I can think of at the moment.

Oh... I've also seen ring pops in five packs at Dollar Tree.
Someone in the previous thread remarked on those.

Mockingbird, I live in the absolute sticks, and all the candies you mentioned in the OP are readily available here. I cannot imagine them being hard to find.
You poor dear. Going about inadequately sugared like that. :eek:

You can also find giganto tubs of them at Sam's Club.

They were mentioned by other people as being hard to find, not by me.

Oh, well. Oops. My mistake. That's what I get for not paying attention.

GOLD RUSH GUM: little yellow nuggets of gum packed in little muslin bags. Still available, although the price has jumped considerably since my youth...
