That's a great website, very nostalgic.

Crispy Crunch was my favorite chocolate bar.

Since you asked, no, I don't think your post which I referenced was meant in fun at all.
We are all talking about treats we enjoyed when we were kids.
I don't see how the statement "I feel healthy. Eating candy promotes weight gain and diabetes" is meant to do anything other than make people feel guilty.

I didn't realize the rules are so strict that I'm not allowed to express what's important to me. Fun to me is being healthy. And a word of caution shouldn't hurt, but help people to realize that the past is the past. Reminiscing is fine, in my opinion, as long as the purpose isn't to rekindle a desire to start indulging again, as some might have done as a child. We all did dumb things as kids, like eat candy. I ate some too.

Now don't forget folks, I'm not the one making a big thing out of this. I'm simply responding to an attack.

The fact that most of us are seniors from different states now living in TV allows us to reminisce about many subjects. Discovering that other folks shared similar experiences ( such as candy, prom, music etc) is a pleasant validating experience for most readers of this site
. Yes everyone is permitted to vent,rant,or give their opinion about these subjects...it makes for interesting reading to find out some of the views ( some new some old or unique).
Hopefully posts are for self expression and not for attacking a view .
Ones experiences with flavor or brands of Candy are meant to be a nostalgic" flash from the past " to see who among us inTV had similar likes,dislikes of their candy choices and discover some sort of commonality .
