Wondering what to give someone for the big 50 birthday? How about candy they ate as a kid?

Wesley's picture

50th birthday is coming upon and you are stumped what to give. Liquor is so passé and you did that on the 48th and 49th birthday. Flowers? boring. Music? Who buys CD's anymore? A gift card? Be real. Here's an idea, give them memories from their childhood with "Candy They Ate As a Kid".

If you're lucky they'll open it while you're around and you can get the Lemonheads before someone else does. Here's a sample of what comes in the 50th birthday party box...

100 Grand Bar, 5th Avenue, Anise Squares, Astro Pops, Atomic Fire Balls, Bazooka Bubble Gum, BB Bats, Bit-O-Honey, Black Taffy, Boston Baked Beans, Bubble Gum Cigars, Butterfingers, Candy Buttons, Candy Cigarettes, Candy Necklace, Carmel Creams, Charleston Chews, Charms, Chick-o-Sticks, Chiclets, Chuckles, Cinnamon Bears, Dots, French Chew Taffy, Gold Mine Gum, Good & Plenty, Hot Dog Gum, Indian Brand Pumpkin Seeds, Jaw Breakers, Jelly Nougats, Jujubes, Jujyfruits, Junior Mints, Kits, Lemonheads, Life Savers, Long Boys, Mary Janes, Necco Wafers, Nik-L-Nips, Now & Later, Pay Day, Peanut Butter Bars, Planter's Peanut Bar, Rainblo Gum, Red Hots, Red Vines, Root Beer Barrels, Saf-T-Pops, Sen Sen, Sixlets, Sky Bar, Slap Stix, Slo Pokes, Smarties, Smith Brothers Cough Drops, Sourballs, Sugar Baby, Sugar Daddy, Swedish Fish, Sweet & Sour Pops, Sweetarts, Teaberry Gum, Tootsie Pops, Tootsie Rolls, Vanilla Caramels, Walnettos, Wax Lips, Whoppers and Zagnut.

It sure beats the Jelly of the Month Club, and what baby boomer doesn't have fond memories of the foodstuffs that got them going on the road to Diabetes 2?

Question: do they still market candy cigarettes?
