I was reminded of a few more while reading another site . . .

My aunt always had Taverner's candy, I think they were called fruit drops. I would go to their place and would crave the things all the time I was there - and the powder that was left in the can was to die for. Miss them- anyone know where you can find them in Toronto?

These were the first things I thought of! Also, harkening way back to my time in Mexico: Gansitos.

They were like a twinky except fruit jam-filled and chocolate covered. I must have been only 4 or 5, but I even remember the damn jingle for the commercial.
*Gansitos, Gansitos, Hecho por Marinela!* Then the little baby chick would say in a cute little baby voice,*recuerdame* (remember me).

Best marketing ploy ever! That shit worked, because almost 30 years later I still remember it.

Holy crap! I knew I wasn't making these up! Certain color schemes around town remind me of these and I always ask my husband, "Do you remember those two toned lolly pops?" and he doesn't. This is one thing that reminds me being a young child. Do they still make them and if they do what are they called?

[Blackberry]

Candy powder straws:

It's pretty much candies that take me back. To name a few:

Malted milk balls. So good.

I love this orange flavoured chocolate, I get it one in a while as a treat. Around Xmas time, they have White Chocolate and Mint Chocolate, too.
