Uncrustables were always popular in school lunches in my day, but to everyone’s shock who has ever known this about me, I have never once had an uncrustable. But boy are/were they popular. I’m not sure if there’s a resurgence…
Gushers were always that one item that made you the lad everyone wanted to be friends with, even if just for lunchtime. I must say I was one of those folks who brought multiple packs just to hand out because…
Smarties are a simple sugary candy that I definitely like, probably mostly because they’re a candy that is so easily portioned and one I don’t tend to eat an entire bag of at a time. But they’re pretty good, and…
Peeps are arguably one of the most unhealthy calorie-dense nutrition-lacking things you can eat. But I have many fond memories of going into drugstores with my mother and buying them, as she always loved them. They were a little too…
Everyone in the USA remembers having these sometimes as a kid, right? They were the one candy nobody really liked but everyone wanted simply because they were/are fun. Unfortunately I have some bad news, Pop Rocks are NOT vegan. No…

Dum Dums are one of my favorite candies and one I nearly always have some of. They’re low in calories, have very simple ingredients, kids love them, they’re a good size, and they aren’t sticky or messy. Dum Dums are…
I’ve never actually had mike and Ike’s before and never have been offered any till today. I declined, not knowing anything about them and not feeling like dirtying my teeth for a bite of candy. But that event made made…
Gobstoppers hold a bunch of memories for me, the most vivid is one boy I used to know in middle school who would pop them like any other candy and crunch them without any hesitation the moment they entered his…
Bottle Caps used to be one of my favorite candies. The orange flavor was always my favorite. I remember nabbing all the orange ones and avoiding the cherries, as cherry was always the flavor I didn’t like. It’s not that…
