Oh Henry!

Sky Bars were tops but if they were not available, 3 Musketeers. I think we used to pay 5 cents for them......but that was a few years back.

Gummy Bears. Still love em but have to be from Germany. The American brand not quite right although Hasbo is close. Otherwise, fruit -- a rare commodity in the early 50's overseas.

Penny candies especially strawberry liquorice and chocolate.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but it felt like such a waste to spend a whole nickel on something that was gone in 2 bites!

I liked the penny candy too. I grew up in Philly and there were corner stores on every corner! I went for MaryJane's, the waxed bottles with juice in them and my favorite were the dots on the long strips of paper!

[Jaggy]

I liked Black Jacks.. pink black and white square taffy..

I grew up a Catholic and all the boys in town (including me) liked Necco wafers. We used them to practice distributing Communion to each other since we were all convinced we'd be priests someday.

PayDays

Pay days were my favorite
I used to buy them for 10 cents
And a can of Pepsi for 15 cents

[gomoho]

Almond Joy!
