I loved that cardboard, even though the yummy flavor only lasted as long as it took for it not to be cardboard anymore. I actually remember getting baseball cards trick or treating... used them in the spokes I'm sure! :)
I have a t-shirt that says "I used to be a millionaire, then my mother threw out my baseball cards."

I got it sometime when I was in my early 30's. I still have it, but it no longer fits me.
It somehow shrunk dramatically over the years.

I can remember dropping that bubble gum and it would shatter into a hundred pieces. Ah, memories...

Yes, definately.
Not only that, but some of the old classic candy bars have disappeared altogether. (Clark, 5th Avenue, Powerhouse, Zagnuts, Zero, et. al.).

Clark Bars are still sold.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

I had a different take on this... maybe they're just trying to protect the kids health by reducing the amount of candy they'll eat :lol: :lol: :lol:

I guess we never had any of those bars in Canada! Love the names, though. Were they good??
