You used to be able to get them from food lion stores only a few years ago…I’m getting old so that maybe more like a decade now. But it felt like finding money in the street or gold in stream when I found a regular source for them. Then I moved. Sadness
They definitely aren't the same as they used to be. They now I believe have peanut butter in it and the old version had a yummy soft caramel that was just soooo perfect!
I remember two different kinds. One was a hardened sugar stick with the end painted red. The other was a rolled up powdered gum that you could blow on and "smoke" would come out.
@josephaltman460 Yep, I always got the hardened sugar stick with the red tip. If I remember correctly one had a green logo similar to Kool brand and the other was similar to Lucky Strike.
Pudding pops, planters cheese balls and carnations breakfast bars!!! Oh, how I miss you!! Missing from this list - Doodads, Nut and Honey crunch cereal and Lemon cooler cookies.
Man you almost had me in tears, thinking of where did our innocence go. We were kids with world and freedoms kids today will never know. So many choices, and it was safer and carefree world.
@ Nerds, sweet tarts, jawbreakers, smarties, Now N Laters( with the clear wrapper), 5cent bazooka Joe(grape and strawberry specifically), pixy sticks, bubble tape, bubblicios bubble gum, heck 1 cent gum drops out of the machine….cold junky😂😂💯

I never HEARD of Abba Zabba, until I moved to far, far Northern California in the very late 90s. As far as I know they are still around in Northern California. Never seen, nor heard of them ANYWHERE else. I lived in the Midwest, South, Northeast, & Intermountain West (all USA) from the 70-90s & never saw one, nor heard of them, until Northern California!
The commercials were legit memorable and fun as kids in the 80’s too. Commercials today are just boring and a major inconvenience. Those commercials for kids on the 80’s and 90’s made us just want the snacks and toys even more! 😂
@Utubesanarc I used to sell those back in high school. Buy them for 16 cents apiece at the Magic Mart and sell for 50 cents during classes. Mom would give me $1.50 to pay for a school lunch, and by 12:30 i'd have enough to go Shoney's.
Candy or snacks in the 80s was equivalent to looking around a record store or a coloectibles shop, as a kid I spent time trying to figure out what i wanted, because therecwas so many great choices to pick from
I found my old baseball bags from when I was in little league and afterwards from the early 90s at my parents recently and in the bag was maybe 15 discarded packages of BIG league Chew
Planters Cheese Balls came back around 2020ish, but I think they're gone again. At least they're gone from everywhere I was able to buy them at... Man they are so good they just melt in your mouth their is nothing like them. I miss them all over again 😢
@elizabethgerard7258 yah, I could see it now. "And the pudding pops were brought to you by your favorite rapist! Chocolate, and Vanilla! Are you feeling dizzy yet?"
I miss all of them and Jello pudding pops so good loved them we still have some stuff today nutty bars and hubba bubba watermelon is back saw them at below 5 loved planters cheese balls remember eating them with my mom when we would watch movies together great memories thank you for sharing brings back so many happy memories never forget
There are a handful of us. We’re not many but strong 😂. Every time I ask someone if they remember this delicious candy bar, they give me a blank look on their face. Almost like I dreamed it or something.
Yeah, everything does. I saw they still sell PeanutButter Caption Crunch. I bought a box because it was my favorite as a kid. It tastes nothing like it did, and it barely tastes anything like peanut butter. Threw it away.
@andycristiana1043 Oh, really. Well, I have something better. I have lived in Tampa, Miami, Key West, and West Palm Beach, Florida. Oh, yes, I have had a Manhattan and Brooklyn addresse. Top that former New Yorker. 😅🗽 👍

@@lolaruffin6249 I found Mars bars at Publix and occasionally buy one. They’re not quite as good as they were in the 80’s, but I buy more for the name than the taste nowadays.
I don't remember Fruit Wrinkles or Giggles, but I was almost addicted to Whatchamacallit, Bar None, and Marathon Bars. And Choco Bliss and Pudding Pops were just the best.
@20:00 That is Patrick Wayne, John Wayne's oldest son advertising Marathon Bar. When those were first put out in the 70s the inside of the wrapper had a 12-inch ruler to show the candy was a full foot long. They removed the ruler in the 80s when they downsized the candy.
A few years ago, a nostalgic urge hit me to go buy some Carnation breakfast bars... I went looking around my local supermarket, trying to find them among the cereals and energy bars. Yeah there was something about them, that slightly gritty, not-quite-sweet experience!
Pudding pops were the best!! I really wish they’d bring them back. Also, I’d give anything to get carnation instant breakfast bars back. Lol. They were basically a candy bar you could eat for breakfast. 😆❤️
I can still taste the original flavor hubba bubba as I jump on my bmx bike and ride to my small town’s neighborhood kid pick up ball game with a tennis ball. The ‘80’s were the best times!
