In our little town of 3,000 the elementary school P.E. teacher and his wife would give out homemade popcorn balls. Trick or treating wasn't complete without stopping at his house!
Watching this I remembered that gum too, when they showed the orange gum pieces spilling out of the milk carton, the gold gum looked like those pieces.
As a kid in 70s I remember and miss red wax lips, homemade popcorn balls, wax pan flutes with liquid candy inside and bubble gum cigarettes. The gum cigarettes came in a flip top box, each cig wrapped in paper and powdered sugar under the paper when you blew out it looked like smoke. It wasn't from Halloween but I remember plastic 38 special pistol with tiny candies inside when you pulled trigger it would dispense candies into your mouth from barrel!!!
Was there ever a payoff to the wax lips? Or were they just all wax? Cause I never liked them and always felt ripped off when getting them since they weren’t proper candy
@@derinaries I could never taste anything but wax, unfortunately. Everything in me told me it wasn’t candy or even edible, despite the label saying otherwise

@@GENXPERIENCE Marathon bars were my FAVORITE! The Cadbury Curly Wurly is rumored to be very similar but I think it is a UK offering, not US. Perhaps I should have typed that as “rumoured”, under the circumstances.. 🤭
I've seen Mary Janes, but originally not in black and orange. And the black and orange wrapped ones were called various things as various candy companies made them. But whateve they are called at the time, I love them.
I did too if you were talking about the saltwater taffy that had peanut butter inside that was wrapped in either orange or black paper. I could eat taffy forever.
I bought a huge bag a couple weeks ago intending to give them out but ended up eating half the bag. They’re my all time favorites but I need to stop buying because I can’t help but eat them.
Yes halloween has changed and not just the candy kids don't get out and trick or treat anymore when I was a kid the street where I lived would have lots of kids going from house to house when me and my friends would go trick or treating we would go back to the same houses twice we would change into a different costumes boy the 70s what a great time to be young
My mom would always buy those peanut butter kisses. I think they may have been among the cheaper ones to buy. I like how they have an orange and black Halloween theme.
When I was a bachelor, I gave out full size candy bars. Those that had great attitudes or great costumes got two! I also gave out raffle tickets so everyone could come back (at 8PM when Holloween officially ended in my town) to my garage (parents in tow if they liked) to raffle off the rest of the candy and for best costume award. Everyone present got at least 1 candy bar as every number was eventually called. If someone was not present, the pot got a new piece. One kid walked away once with 8 candy bars when his number was called. Best costume got a giant Hershey bar. I had Brussle Sprouts and Cocktail Onions as gag gifts, some of the teens played along with the gag. One time a young child was given the standard full size twin Resses Peanutbutter Cups. He was so excited, "Mom! I got a real Peanutbutter Cup like you get in the store!" I then threw in a king sized 4 pack as a bonus .. the kid went wild. Trick or Treaters came from a couple towns away to my neighborhood just because of the full sized bars and raffles. Moms would see me in the supermarket and tell me how their kids talk about my Halloween experience... I don't know how they would remember my face.
@GENXPERIENCE Thanks. The teens were the best. One of my gags was when a boy was with a pretty girl. I would say to the boy, "Wow, man, your girlfriend is very pretty." If the boy said, "No, that's my sister." Then I would say, "Ewwww! Your dating your sister?" We all had good laughs. Again, good attitudes and good wit got them an extra candy bar.
Damn I remember trick or treating at one of the high end neighborhoods one Halloween and getting a handful of full size Milky Way and musketeers bars along with some KitKat me n my friends loved going there for the decorations or gimmicks they’d do like escape rooms or haunted houses
As a practical kid, i liked the utility of candy necklaces. I wore them to school and could bite off a piece of candy without the teacher noticing. Pez was another fun, transportable candy.
The Necco candy is great. My daughter and I both love these things to this day. Sometimes, I order a whole box of these from Amazon, and I give half of them to my daughter. No joke.
Well, I can't find anything on their site or online about the first incarnation of their Fruit Chews. No one else seems to remember getting them at that time. The best I can find is just before 1989. So wish I could know the truth.
@@GENXPERIENCE I believe it was Mambas. Mambas were wrapped similar to tootsie rolls in the late 60s early 70s. Im 57 and I remember the fruit flavored taffy or chew that looked like a tootsie roll. But it wasn't a tootsie roll.
At one point in time, I lived about 2 blocks away from the Chuckles Candy Company Factory. And OMG 😲, the aroma in the air had you wanting Chuckles every day lol.
My mom's aunt & uncle owned a travelling carnival, back when candy apples were made from scratch, not a mix. Every Hallowe'en, Mom made about 200 candy apples, using the family recipe. Every year, ny brother and I brought a trayful to our class, and Mom & Dad gave out all the rest to trick-or-treaters.
Oh, I should have added toothbrushes. That is a FOR SURE. Yes, on rings, maybe on stickers, and possibly on Crayons. Such a variety of wonderful things people would offer.
We had one that would give out McDonald's toys and another that gave out juice boxes. I participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project so also give out non-food treats as well as candy. I let the kids pick.
I also remember getting small size boxes of Goobers, Raisinets, Good N Plenty’s. Also remember getting the Planters Peanut bar. Just so much more variety back in the 70s and 80s
Thanks, I really enjoyed that video. Such great memories. 1970 was the last year I could legally go trick or treating, but I remember almost all those candies.
We used to pull out loose teeth with Now and Laters! 😂 I forgot about the "gum shards" in the little cartons! I think there were also grape flavored shards when I was a kid.
My favorite was always Reese’s peanut butter cups, the old recipe-the kind that stuck to the bottom of the paper cups and were made before they started making the mini ones
You might be the only other person that I've heard say the mini ones are different. Since they were conceived I thought they tasted different. I still think they taste different than the regular size. But I miss when the regular Cups had a CRUNCHY version. YUMMY
@@GENXPERIENCE ---I like the white chocolate Reese's. My Dollar Tree actually had them last year. When I was a kid in the '60s, they only had mini white Reese's.
Born in 1959, I was a kid in the sixties. And although I was raised in a working-class neighborhood of Pittsburgh (Beechview), virtually everyone gave out full size candies. I don't even know if "fun-sized" was a thing until the seventies, but I know that we didn't get them on Halloween when I was a kid. Today my wife and I live in Dormont, one neighborhood away from where I was raised. And it is still a working-class neighborhood all these years later. But we do what we can to give local kids the 1960s Halloween experience. Each year we give every kid a full-size candy bar. Yes, they are mostly the name brands. This year it will include, Hershey Bars, Reese's, Hershey with Almonds, Butterfingers, Crunch, 100 Grand, Baby Ruth, Snickers, Twix, Milky Way, and Three Musketeers. I realized a few years back that not all kids like chocolate. Last Year and this year I also bought AIRHEAD XTREMES and Mega Smarties to give away. And lastly, I want to make sure that all kids are safe, so for the past ten years every kid also gets a LED novelty from Flashy Blinking Lights. I'm a drummer, so the past seven or eight years the LED toy is a LED Tambourine. We also decorate the house like crazy to make it fun for the kids. It seems to work. We've lived in this house for over fourteen years, this will be our fifteenth Halloween. Last year a woman who was around twenty-two-years old carried her baby up to our porch. She and the baby were both dressed up. (She was Dorothy and her baby boy was dressed as Toto.) She had grown up one block away and brought her baby trick or treating in our neighborhood. She said that ours was her favorite house when she was a kid, and she was so glad that we are still doing it in our over-the-top fashion. It made our day! No, we are not rich, and the candy and LED toys are not cheap. But it is worth it to my wife and I to spend the money and time to give today's kids a cool memory.
lol. They had so many names and so many manufacturers. I remember Mary Janes having a beige wrapper with dark writing with a little girl. Perhaps they changed as they got older, but either way if it was in the Black and Orange Paper, YES...it was delicious.
We called them suckers in the upper Midwest as well. I used to bite the top off of the wax bottles and drink the drop of liquid. As late Gen X, the holy grail for my Halloween was Hersey Miniatures, specially if you got a special dark.
Hey there. Thanks for answering. I didn't love wax anything, but I think I'd do your way. Wasn't it amazing to actually get Hershey miniatures. Such an awesome surprise treat. I di eventually learn to like Special Dark.
Heck yeah! Those special darks were gold! (And not just bc of their foil wrapper.) I never traded a single one of those, even though my brothers begged me for them. They'd even offer me double for those. Nope!
I remember the Jolly Rancher bar. The first time I had one, I was in 7th grade, and it was sour apple; I love Jolly ranchers, any flavor but watermelon. It was Halloween and I was in art class. We made Halloween cards, and I made one with a vampire on it. The teacher gave us all one, while we watched a horror video. Can't remember what it was called, but it had Vincent Price as host of the show.
I liked Necco Wafers. I mean we were tough back then--sure, the powder was gross, but they were a solid treat underneath, except for the black ones. I do remember penny candy was actually a thing. And in the early to mid 90s I think those little boxes of Lemonheads, Johnny Apple Treats, and such by Ferrara Pan cost less than a quarter. Sixlets were junky, but somehow in a good way. Thanks!
I remember dentists who collected kids' candy, and you got a sticker or something in trade, or maybe even a little bit of money based on weight? Pretty sure the only kids who gave up their candy were the ones being forced to by a parent.
lol. That is hysterical. I knew it, but what I didn't remember was that you didnt get all the pieces to make him complete. It was totally random, so that sucked, lol.
Several favorites here. I loved Pixy Stix! I offered one to my 3 y/o great-granddaughter who was very hesitant. When she finally tasted, her eyes got huge & she yelled, "It's SUGAR!! I wike sugar!" LOL!
Younger boomer here, we had a small independent 5 and 10 store on our corner that was loaded with candy. Loved all the candy including and especially Necco. However, we used to have heavily salted pumpkin seeds in a green box with a small toy charm inside.
'60s kid but still very similar. people didn't give out small sizes as much - that would get your tree tp'd or even weren't available like now or the '70s. candy was definitely a treat and Halloween was only 2nd to Christmas for every kid i & my 3 brothers knew. i remember the streets being chock full of kids trick or treating - my mother used to make us replenish the bowl with our own goods - but we did get pillow cases full that got so heavy we had to make drop the hoard off - but then right back out! i haven't seen that in decades now.
Great Video!!! It just popped up in my feed today, so I clicked it, watched it, & then Subscribed... I was just Surprised that you didn't mention the Astro Pop, Oh Well maybe next time...lol
I was born in January of '84 and I remember practically all of these. I used to hate those peanut butter Taffy's wrapped in orange and black paper but I love them now. One candy I still hate is circus peanuts. I tried them many times thinking my tastes might have changed but always regret it.
You are right about CIRCUS PEANUTS, YIKES. It was true that MOST of them would still get handed out into the early 90s. You can get them now, but people don't much bother with them on Halloween.
Those orange 'circus peanuts' are among the most horrible things ever! I love Necco wafers, though - especially the black licorice ones! My favorite as a trick-or-treater, though, was the one house that always gave out the full size Butterfingers. Remember "Trick-or-treat for UNICEF"? You were supposed to get small change for your little orange box, but lots of parents would tell you if you got coins for your UNICEF box, you couldn't ask for any candy...😢 Not a good lesson for a kid:"Be charitable and help the starving babies in Biafra"...& get neither coins or candy as a result. 😕🎃
I recently learned that circus peanuts are banana flavored. I've always kind of liked that fake banana flavor, which explains why I kind of like circus peanuts.
Banana taffy. The little squares were ok, but give me a Bonomo Turkish Taffy. The full sized bar. So, so much fun to slap it down on a hard flat surface, and pick at the fractured remains of the bar. The foil wrap was great for keeping some for later fresh and neatly contained.
People would give away full sized candy bars in the 60s/70s. Tootsie pops were also my favorites. Mallow Cups, when they were still good. Candy cigarettes, and Kits taffy, jelly nougats, all yummers.
That is what I love to make people feel. Many of these continued into the 90s for sure. I always say it was the 2000s that ruined everything, lol. Glad you enjoyed it.
I remember Sugar Daddy,s Sugar Momma and Sugar Baby, Cracker Jacks,Candy Cigarettes, Nesco.Wafers, Laffy Taffy, Turkish Taffy, Life Savers, Brach,s Nuegets, Their different flavored version of tooties rolls.Rootbeer barrels, , orange peanuts, chickens, Charleston Chews, etc.I remember Boston Baked Beans.

I need one of those near me. I am sure there is one in 50 mile radius, lol. I have been to them, but I am usually on vacation...and I don't want them in bulk from Amazon,lol. Thank you for watching anc ommenting.
Loved Sixlets, but never understood why they couldn't be found in a 2 lb bag instead of the teeny tiny wrappers. And Sugar Daddys - I got those stuck between my teeth a few times, then hid from Mom until it was unstuck. She threatened to take away my Halloween candy stash if an SD took out a filling. Today's Halloween candy is so, well, boring. Thanks for the sweet memories.
I love Sixlets as much as 44 as I did when I was 4 or 14.chew a mouthful and wash it down with cold milk.i still won't eat chocolate without a glass of milk unless I'm starving.
Circus peanuts were the worst to get. I remember when they would dry out and harden to a rock really quickly. I would use them as ammo in my slingshot when I was a kid. 😅
I am a boomer but part of Generation Jones, which means that I’m familiar with most of the candy. This was so much fun to watch. I loved the part where you talked about getting a penny. That wouldn’t go far in the seventies, but just a decade before it would have yielded two pieces of candy at your local store.
I'm 70 and I grew up in Japan. I remember going to the US Navy housing areas for trick-or-treating. My favorite candies were taffy (I forgot the brand) and Bit-o-Honey.
Does anyone remember when some of those candies came in a machine right outside the grocery store and for a nickel or sometimes a quarter you could get a handful. I still love eating peantbutter kisses , when I can find them , usually at the dollar store . I hated dots , or anything licorice but loved all the others . And I’m also a candy corn lover . My granny used to give out quarters and wrigleys gum . I also remember zebra gum was the worst , the flavor lasted 2 seconds…. I loved Halloween candy bc it was unique to the season . After collecting my stash, I put it in a pillowcase. Why ? IDK , usually bc the trick or treat bags back then were paper . Not like today with pales and buckets and good sturdy plastic bags , I remember one time it rained and I got a hole in my bag and lost have my loot , and cried for a week. When I had children of my own , our tradition was getting half price candy the day after, you doubled your loot plus got the ones we loved , and no my children weren’t fatties , they were limited on a few pieces a day , and we did the same after Christmas and especially valentines, and Easter , we had enough candy to last all summer . My kids will tell you it’s one of their best childhood memories. Wow didn’t mean for this comment to be so long , but i get excited for this time of year , even though I’m 54 I enjoy doing all of my fall traditions Happy Falloween from a TX gal
Our machines never had anything but gumballs or little trinkets inside a clear plastic dome shaped container. Which were a big treat at the time, but a handful of candy sounds good too! I liked Fruit Stripe gum, though, I thought it was pretty and I liked animals so the zebra mascot appealed to me. I had a plastic pumpkin pail (I'm 56) which severely limited the amount of candy you could collect, when it was full you had to go home. Also the black plastic handle was very skinny and dug painfully into your hand once the pumpkin started getting some weight to it.
In my area, Michaels Craft stores sell old fashioned things like Necco wafers, Boston Baked Beans, Good&Plenty, Mike&Ikes, etc. I admit to buying Neccos, which I love.
You are so sweet. It is all in fun. And I know everyone has their own opinions and takes on these candies, just sharing mine and some great memories. Thanks for watching. There are others here who get bent out of shape if I don't agree with their favs, but you sound even keel.
About 5 years ago I ordered my brother a pack of 20 Mr. Bones he LOVED them and laughed when he thanked me. He gave a few out for Halloween and kept the rest for himself.
It's been a while since I went Trick or Treating back in the 1960s, so I don't remember every type of candy I used to get, but my favorite was anything chocolate, like the little Milky Way & Three Musketeer bars. They didn't call them fun-size back then and the small bars were only sold around Halloween. Some people gave me pennies or maybe a nickel and if I got a small box of raisins or a little apple it went right into the trash. I liked apples but not those little ones, they just didn't look good. My grandmother lived around the corner from us, so her house was on our Trick or Treat route. She always gave out Dum Dums which were small suckers, and I mean SMALL. The stick was about three inches long and the candy part was round and less than half the size of a Tootsie Pop. I loved Tootsie Pops, there was a liquor store in a strip mall around the corner from where I lived where I would buy comic books and candy bars and they had a container filled with Tootsie Pops on the counter that were 2 cents each. I could get my favorite flavors, which were root beer or cherry. Milk Duds and Sugar Babies were my go-to candy when I went to the movies on Saturday afternoon, along with a box of popcorn.
You remember some good ones for sure. I remember the word fun size appearing in the 70s, but don't know when. we did love getting those, but more rare as we got the strange and unusual ones more often; those we didn't get but during Halloween. Either way, they were all just sweet goodness. Thank you for writing.
Oh, Mr. Bones was my absolute favorite when I was little, not just because of the flavor but also because I loved singing “The _____ bone’s connected to the… ______ bone!” while reconstructing the skeleton.
@@stevegabbert9626 you had to hold them in your mouth and suck them a bit till they softened! (Not too soft, of course, just enough that you wouldn't crack a tooth lol.)
OK, dude, I liked NECO wafers, but you did make me laugh. You didn't mention the cigarette made out of sugar, had a red end to look like it was lit, and looked like the real packs. Great trip down memory lane. Happy Halloween 🎃
I loved Mary Janes, and I've never seen the generic versions. Also loved Sugar Daddy, Sugar Babies and BitOHoney. My favorite treat were Butterfinger, Clark, 5th Avenue, Zagnut (anything peanut butter)
HUGE Peanut Butter fan, myself. Loved all of those. Yeah, if Mary Janes are truly the small black and orange wax paper wrapped candies, then I only knew the generics. Mary Janes had their own yellow packaging as far as I knew. But they could all just be copies of themselves.
Halloween was big fun, a whole big bag of yummies! A candy bar was 10 cents in the store, but all that free candy, for only a little walk a thon about the neighborhood. From western Pa., we always said suckers and pop!
I think Neccos have improved. They’re made by the same company that makes Valentine conversation hearts. I’ve bought them recently, they’re fine by me. I always hated getting those black or orange wax paper wrapped candies. I hucked those in the trash.
I remember my siblings and I going through our plastic pumpkins of loot. I found a small cellophane bag with 5 candy corns inside that one neighbor gave. I mumbled something like "cheapskate" and my mom yelled at me. LOL
When I was a kid on Halloween trick or treating i got various different kinds of candy mini candy bars, suckers, chewing gum, hard candies, and many others but that was in the 70's thanks for the memories have an awesome Halloween this year. my birthday is on the 14th of October and I'll be 60 thank you.🇺🇲🍭🍬📺🍬🍫🇺🇲

AUTUMN MIX! Real Autumn mix, with all the different flavors... now it's just candy corn and Brach's pumpkins!
i have looked high and low for those the last few years.... dang it
Do you dig the other seasonal Brach's Mellowcremes, e.g. Valentine's Day and Easter? I can eat them any time.
Fake honey is the best flavor!
The best Brach's candies were those Neapolitan flavored ones. Do they still make those?
I believe Walgreens still carries Harvest Mix, which has the different shapes/flavors.
Oh, how I loved those Mallow Cups with the coconut... And the silly elastic candy necklaces!
I didn't say them specially, but since I never liked coconut, those would have been a no for me. But I would certainly gnaw on a necklace.
I still indulge now and then in Mallow Cups. They’re still available, made in Pennsylvania by Boyer.

As a practical kid, i liked the utility of candy necklaces. I wore them to school and could bite off a piece of candy without the teacher noticing. Pez was another fun, transportable candy.
I probably swallowed 15 pounds of paraffin during the early 80s due to wax fangs and Wowee Whistles.🎃

The Necco candy is great. My daughter and I both love these things to this day. Sometimes, I order a whole box of these from Amazon, and I give half of them to my daughter. No joke.

I'm 64 and still love necco wafers. I remember walking to the little store with my nickel to get them. My grandson loves them also but now at a $1.59.
I threw the Neccos away.
I was raised Catholic and we used to "pretend" communion with the Necco wafers.
I loved the wafer like texture of Neccos.
I am in my 60's... I loved fruit flavored Tootsie Rolls as a KID. YES... they were around then.
You beat me to it.
Well, I can't find anything on their site or online about the first incarnation of their Fruit Chews. No one else seems to remember getting them at that time. The best I can find is just before 1989. So wish I could know the truth.
I liked everything in the big bag of Tootsie candy except the Dots.
@@nancykingyeah, to me they tasted like soap! Yuk!
@@GENXPERIENCE I believe it was Mambas. Mambas were wrapped similar to tootsie rolls in the late 60s early 70s. Im 57 and I remember the fruit flavored taffy or chew that looked like a tootsie roll. But it wasn't a tootsie roll.
I won a giant Sugar Daddy when I was a kid. My dad smashed it to pieces so we could all share it.
Remember Black Cow? Sugar Daddy with chocolate.
My next door nabur won a box of chicko sticks and gave me 3 of them around 1974 and I was forever a good friend 😂
At one point in time, I lived about 2 blocks away from the Chuckles Candy Company Factory. And OMG 😲, the aroma in the air had you wanting Chuckles every day lol.
My favorite was popcorn balls. Thanks for the memories.
That is what is important, my viewers have some good memories. My goal is to make us all remember some good times. THanks for writing.
My mom's aunt & uncle owned a travelling carnival, back when candy apples were made from scratch, not a mix. Every Hallowe'en, Mom made about 200 candy apples, using the family recipe. Every year, ny brother and I brought a trayful to our class, and Mom & Dad gave out all the rest to trick-or-treaters.
Damn, that is a fantastic memory and tradition. Sounds delicious, too.
What a charming memory and what a remarkable woman your mother must have been.
How cool! I dated the son of a candy shop family who taught me caramel apples in a huge copper bowl over a propane tank. Wonderful!
Double thumbs up for sharing such a charming old time memory and spelling out Hallowe’en!! 🎃
Those would’ve been awesome to get. I loved them at fairs and carnivals.
Ever had the kind-hearted neighbor give you stickers, plastic rings, crayons, or toothbrushes?
Oh, I should have added toothbrushes. That is a FOR SURE. Yes, on rings, maybe on stickers, and possibly on Crayons. Such a variety of wonderful things people would offer.
We had one that would give out McDonald's toys and another that gave out juice boxes. I participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project so also give out non-food treats as well as candy. I let the kids pick.
Yeah didn’t really care much for those much less the Pennies
We had an old lady who gave us half dollars..
Stray peanuts on a plate, or a penny
Anyone remember the big red wax flavored lips ? Also, the little orange wax mouth harp ? They tasted so good...and the flavor lasted for hours.
I remember like an orange harmonica, or pan flute...I guess that was the harp, huh? Very cool
@@GENXPERIENCE That was it lol
I do. The wax harp brings back good memories. Thanks for reminding me of it.
yes i remember wax lips. not my fav, but i'd eat 'em.
Yes most defenitely and I am 80s baby
I also remember getting small size boxes of Goobers, Raisinets, Good N Plenty’s. Also remember getting the Planters Peanut bar. Just so much more variety back in the 70s and 80s
😂 Man, I enjoyed this episode more than I’m supposed to. Nice post. I’m plotting my candy list while I listen and watch 💪🏾🎃
I did that a long time ago now I’m just trying to scrape up some money for some candy among other things
Thanks, I really enjoyed that video. Such great memories. 1970 was the last year I could legally go trick or treating, but I remember almost all those candies.
There's never been anything as perfect on earth as the first time you crushed the candy into the gun on the Blow-Pop.
My Laffy Taffy was super long like a 12" ruler.
MOUNDS WAS GOLD
Also loved Peppermint Paddies
I absolutely loved peppermint patties and most of the time I never got any.
Peppermint Paddies. The classic Irish treat! LOL
We used to pull out loose teeth with Now and Laters! 😂 I forgot about the "gum shards" in the little cartons! I think there were also grape flavored shards when I was a kid.
And pink bubble gum flavor.
You are a terrifically hysterical writer! thanks for the blast from the past. That was so real I have to go and brush my teeth
LOL. Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate that and hope people have fun
My favorite was always Reese’s peanut butter cups, the old recipe-the kind that stuck to the bottom of the paper cups and were made before they started making the mini ones
You might be the only other person that I've heard say the mini ones are different. Since they were conceived I thought they tasted different. I still think they taste different than the regular size. But I miss when the regular Cups had a CRUNCHY version. YUMMY
I told my son that Reese’s just doesn’t taste the same.
@@suesabalburo6235 They are best in the freezer.
I’ll try it, thanks for the suggestion!
@@GENXPERIENCE ---I like the white chocolate Reese's. My Dollar Tree actually had them last year. When I was a kid in the '60s, they only had mini white Reese's.
Thanks for sharing! Lots of nostalgia! So many yummy candies that I forgot about. Poor kids these days don't know what they are missing! 🍭🍫🍬🎃👻
They don't. Even though most are out there somewhere, they will never know what it is like to have such variety in their Halloween Bucket.
Born in 1959, I was a kid in the sixties. And although I was raised in a working-class neighborhood of Pittsburgh (Beechview), virtually everyone gave out full size candies. I don't even know if "fun-sized" was a thing until the seventies, but I know that we didn't get them on Halloween when I was a kid. Today my wife and I live in Dormont, one neighborhood away from where I was raised. And it is still a working-class neighborhood all these years later. But we do what we can to give local kids the 1960s Halloween experience. Each year we give every kid a full-size candy bar. Yes, they are mostly the name brands. This year it will include, Hershey Bars, Reese's, Hershey with Almonds, Butterfingers, Crunch, 100 Grand, Baby Ruth, Snickers, Twix, Milky Way, and Three Musketeers. I realized a few years back that not all kids like chocolate. Last Year and this year I also bought AIRHEAD XTREMES and Mega Smarties to give away. And lastly, I want to make sure that all kids are safe, so for the past ten years every kid also gets a LED novelty from Flashy Blinking Lights. I'm a drummer, so the past seven or eight years the LED toy is a LED Tambourine. We also decorate the house like crazy to make it fun for the kids. It seems to work. We've lived in this house for over fourteen years, this will be our fifteenth Halloween. Last year a woman who was around twenty-two-years old carried her baby up to our porch. She and the baby were both dressed up. (She was Dorothy and her baby boy was dressed as Toto.) She had grown up one block away and brought her baby trick or treating in our neighborhood. She said that ours was her favorite house when she was a kid, and she was so glad that we are still doing it in our over-the-top fashion. It made our day! No, we are not rich, and the candy and LED toys are not cheap. But it is worth it to my wife and I to spend the money and time to give today's kids a cool memory.
Very generous & touching!
You sound like a wonderful person
The mini cereal boxes were always in my "special" treat bag from the cool old lady next door 😂
Now that is pretty awesome. You were actually someone who got those? I wouldn't say I would be angry to get one.
I loved the peanut/peanut butter taffies in the black and orange wax wrappers 🥰🎃 They were called Mary Jane’s but I just called them… _delicious_ 😎
lol. They had so many names and so many manufacturers. I remember Mary Janes having a beige wrapper with dark writing with a little girl. Perhaps they changed as they got older, but either way if it was in the Black and Orange Paper, YES...it was delicious.
Broke a cap on a Mary Jane.
Mary Janes and Bit of Honey were favorites.
@@Lisa-gf6sr Funny I don’t remember eating them as a kid but had one out of my sons trick or treat bag & boom, off to the dentist ugh
I always traded them for smarties or 3 musketeers.
We called them suckers in the upper Midwest as well. I used to bite the top off of the wax bottles and drink the drop of liquid. As late Gen X, the holy grail for my Halloween was Hersey Miniatures, specially if you got a special dark.
Hey there. Thanks for answering. I didn't love wax anything, but I think I'd do your way. Wasn't it amazing to actually get Hershey miniatures. Such an awesome surprise treat. I di eventually learn to like Special Dark.
Heck yeah! Those special darks were gold! (And not just bc of their foil wrapper.)
I never traded a single one of those, even though my brothers begged me for them. They'd even offer me double for those. Nope!
I always liked that waxy peanut butter flavored Halloween candy that came in the black and orange wrappers.
Yes...so good!
I remember getting at least one box of kracker jack too!! Every candy bar was normal sized as well
Phenomenal video!
Brought back such amazing memories!!!🎃🎃🎃
And for the record, I LOVE Almond Joy and Mounds!
Jolly Rancher “bar”, Chik o Sticks, Nerds in the plastic nerd shaped container, Brocks cinnamon and butterscotch discs, Peanut Butter logs, Burnt Peanut, Fireballs, tiny rainbow chicklets…
I remember the Jolly Rancher bar. The first time I had one, I was in 7th grade, and it was sour apple; I love Jolly ranchers, any flavor but watermelon. It was Halloween and I was in art class. We made Halloween cards, and I made one with a vampire on it. The teacher gave us all one, while we watched a horror video. Can't remember what it was called, but it had Vincent Price as host of the show.
Fun Dip
I loved the Cherry Jolly Rancher Stix!
Yes! The jolly rancher bars! I forgot about those!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
YOu bet. That is what I love to do.
I liked Necco Wafers. I mean we were tough back then--sure, the powder was gross, but they were a solid treat underneath, except for the black ones. I do remember penny candy was actually a thing. And in the early to mid 90s I think those little boxes of Lemonheads, Johnny Apple Treats, and such by Ferrara Pan cost less than a quarter. Sixlets were junky, but somehow in a good way. Thanks!
That’s because Sixlets aren’t chocolate, just chocolate flavored
Nostalgia in spades. And the dentists back then laughed all the way to the bank after Halloween ended.😊
Ah, hah...yes, those DENTISTS were making bank!
I remember dentists who collected kids' candy, and you got a sticker or something in trade, or maybe even a little bit of money based on weight? Pretty sure the only kids who gave up their candy were the ones being forced to by a parent.
Much less us till thanksgiving
I'm with you on the molasses candies wrapped in orange or black wrappers. Love em!
Hated them as a kid, appreciate them now.
I totally forgot about a lot of these candies.. like Mr Bones i always assembled it the best i could.. TY for the nostalgia....
YOu bet. That is what I am here for, and just to have fun. Plus I loved remembering Mr Bones.
I also remembered the Trash CANdy.
Dude, I’m 53 years old and I didn’t know that Mr. bones was a puzzle. I just ate the candy skeleton. You just blew my mind
lol. That is hysterical. I knew it, but what I didn't remember was that you didnt get all the pieces to make him complete. It was totally random, so that sucked, lol.
I'm a couple years older than you. But just like you. I never realized they were a puzzle either!
When he said that, I was like "SOB l never knew"!
I know , Right 💀 😮
Several favorites here. I loved Pixy Stix! I offered one to my 3 y/o great-granddaughter who was very hesitant. When she finally tasted, her eyes got huge & she yelled, "It's SUGAR!! I wike sugar!" LOL!
Younger boomer here, we had a small independent 5 and 10 store on our corner that was loaded with candy. Loved all the candy including and especially Necco. However, we used to have heavily salted pumpkin seeds in a green box with a small toy charm inside.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ORANGE AND BLACK PEANUT BUTTER KISSES 🤤🤤🤤
ME TOO
I'm a chocolate guy. Snickers, 3 Musketeers, and Rese's. Those types of candies.
I worshiped anybody that would actually give me chocolate. Most people didn’t do that.
For me it’s kitkat musketeers Milky Way and Hersheys
@@nickystripe3303really cuz when I look back at my childhood I mostly got chocolate
I should really give some of these candies you mentioned a try this Halloween
'60s kid but still very similar. people didn't give out small sizes as much - that would get your tree tp'd or even weren't available like now or the '70s. candy was definitely a treat and Halloween was only 2nd to Christmas for every kid i & my 3 brothers knew. i remember the streets being chock full of kids trick or treating - my mother used to make us replenish the bowl with our own goods - but we did get pillow cases full that got so heavy we had to make drop the hoard off - but then right back out! i haven't seen that in decades now.
Great Video!!! It just popped up in my feed today, so I clicked it, watched it, & then Subscribed... I was just Surprised that you didn't mention the Astro Pop, Oh Well maybe next time...lol
I was born in January of '84 and I remember practically all of these. I used to hate those peanut butter Taffy's wrapped in orange and black paper but I love them now. One candy I still hate is circus peanuts. I tried them many times thinking my tastes might have changed but always regret it.
You are right about CIRCUS PEANUTS, YIKES. It was true that MOST of them would still get handed out into the early 90s. You can get them now, but people don't much bother with them on Halloween.
Those orange 'circus peanuts' are among the most horrible things ever! I love Necco wafers, though - especially the black licorice ones! My favorite as a trick-or-treater, though, was the one house that always gave out the full size Butterfingers. Remember "Trick-or-treat for UNICEF"? You were supposed to get small change for your little orange box, but lots of parents would tell you if you got coins for your UNICEF box, you couldn't ask for any candy...😢 Not a good lesson for a kid:"Be charitable and help the starving babies in Biafra"...& get neither coins or candy as a result. 😕🎃
I think Circus Peanuts must be a universally hated candy. I had nightmares about being at my grandma's and being forced to eat those!
Circus peanuts - Eewww! Too sweet. It was an Easter thing, too.
I recently learned that circus peanuts are banana flavored. I've always kind of liked that fake banana flavor, which explains why I kind of like circus peanuts.
Banana taffy. The little squares were ok, but give me a Bonomo Turkish Taffy. The full sized bar. So, so much fun to slap it down on a hard flat surface, and pick at the fractured remains of the bar. The foil wrap was great for keeping some for later fresh and neatly contained.
People would give away full sized candy bars in the 60s/70s. Tootsie pops were also my favorites. Mallow Cups, when they were still good. Candy cigarettes, and Kits taffy, jelly nougats, all yummers.
I grew up in the 90s-early 2000s and I remember a lot of these actually made me feel nostalgic thanks
That is what I love to make people feel. Many of these continued into the 90s for sure. I always say it was the 2000s that ruined everything, lol. Glad you enjoyed it.
That was a fun video! Thanks for sharing. My sister loved those Necco wafers. So we would trade candy, and she took my Necco's. Fun memories ❤
Glad she would trade with you. Thanks for the nice comment, and the watch.
I would only eat the chocolate ones.
I can’t wait to see your Christmas candy edition….
I gotta get started to make it even better. Thank you
Loved smarties, pixie sticks and sweet tarts. And my favorite,, the mint candy cigarettes.
The chewy sweet tarts were the best 🤤 Happy Halloween dude 🦹🧙🧌🧛👻🧟👻🧟🦹😊
Happy Halloween...can't deny those soft chews! Thank you
I'm an 80s I loved Mamba, Chuckle and B.B. Bats.
I remember Sugar Daddy,s Sugar Momma and Sugar Baby, Cracker Jacks,Candy Cigarettes, Nesco.Wafers, Laffy Taffy, Turkish Taffy, Life Savers, Brach,s Nuegets, Their different flavored version of tooties rolls.Rootbeer barrels, , orange peanuts, chickens, Charleston Chews, etc.I remember Boston Baked Beans.

I actually LOVED Sixlets, and still enjoy them today! Fruit-flavored coating and the chocolate was more cocoa, less sugar.
My family and I love those!
I’ve seen single color, pearlized coating Sixlets in the baking section at Michael’s.
My favorites were candy cigarettes 🚬 and fudge bars...mmmm. Omg I now remember Sweet Tarts.
Great video! I’m going to the local specialty candy store tomorrow and pick up a few forgotten treats. 🎃
I need one of those near me. I am sure there is one in 50 mile radius, lol. I have been to them, but I am usually on vacation...and I don't want them in bulk from Amazon,lol. Thank you for watching anc ommenting.
Same I should so buy some candy for myself this year
Loved Sixlets, but never understood why they couldn't be found in a 2 lb bag instead of the teeny tiny wrappers. And Sugar Daddys - I got those stuck between my teeth a few times, then hid from Mom until it was unstuck. She threatened to take away my Halloween candy stash if an SD took out a filling. Today's Halloween candy is so, well, boring. Thanks for the sweet memories.
Those big Sugar Daddy’s were the best. Get one before a long trip to the lake.
One Slowpoke sucker pulled off a crown, another one cracked my bridge.
@@elultimo102 I can relate. Popped a cap eating my son’s Halloween candy. A Bit O Honey ugh
I love Sixlets as much as 44 as I did when I was 4 or 14.chew a mouthful and wash it down with cold milk.i still won't eat chocolate without a glass of milk unless I'm starving.
I still like some of those old school candies. We stopped at a country hardware store a few weeks ago, and they had some. Got a few for the road.
Bottlecaps, I miss you.
Liked: snowcaps, bottlecaps, nerds, waxed bottles, candy dots, Mr Bones, bonkers
Hated: candy corn, anything malted milk, wax lips, circus peanuts
Oh, those popcorn balls
I remember thin, chalk like sticks too. Don't remember the name, I guess they were low end candy cigarettes without the paper
Circus peanuts were the worst to get. I remember when they would dry out and harden to a rock really quickly. I would use them as ammo in my slingshot when I was a kid. 😅
I am a boomer but part of Generation Jones, which means that I’m familiar with most of the candy. This was so much fun to watch. I loved the part where you talked about getting a penny. That wouldn’t go far in the seventies, but just a decade before it would have yielded two pieces of candy at your local store.
So good to find another Gen Jones person
I'm 70 and I grew up in Japan. I remember going to the US Navy housing areas for trick-or-treating. My favorite candies were taffy (I forgot the brand) and Bit-o-Honey.
Bit O Honey is delicious, and I bet the base was awesome trick or treating.
I like Bit-O-Honey too. The trick to get them to soften up a little is to hold them tight in your hand for a while.
Was it Bonomos Turkish Taffy. My faves was always the vanilla, but chocolate and banana were good too.
They don’t do trick or treating in Japan do they?
Your description of Necco Wafers was spot on!
Does anyone remember when some of those candies came in a machine right outside the grocery store and for a nickel or sometimes a quarter you could get a handful. I still love eating peantbutter kisses , when I can find them , usually at the dollar store . I hated dots , or anything licorice but loved all the others . And I’m also a candy corn lover . My granny used to give out quarters and wrigleys gum . I also remember zebra gum was the worst , the flavor lasted 2 seconds…. I loved Halloween candy bc it was unique to the season . After collecting my stash, I put it in a pillowcase. Why ? IDK , usually bc the trick or treat bags back then were paper . Not like today with pales and buckets and good sturdy plastic bags , I remember one time it rained and I got a hole in my bag and lost have my loot , and cried for a week.
When I had children of my own , our tradition was getting half price candy the day after, you doubled your loot plus got the ones we loved , and no my children weren’t fatties , they were limited on a few pieces a day , and we did the same after Christmas and especially valentines, and Easter , we had enough candy to last all summer . My kids will tell you it’s one of their best childhood memories. Wow didn’t mean for this comment to be so long , but i get excited for this time of year , even though I’m 54 I enjoy doing all of my fall traditions
Happy Falloween from a TX gal
Our machines never had anything but gumballs or little trinkets inside a clear plastic dome shaped container. Which were a big treat at the time, but a handful of candy sounds good too! I liked Fruit Stripe gum, though, I thought it was pretty and I liked animals so the zebra mascot appealed to me. I had a plastic pumpkin pail (I'm 56) which severely limited the amount of candy you could collect, when it was full you had to go home. Also the black plastic handle was very skinny and dug painfully into your hand once the pumpkin started getting some weight to it.
Jelly beans skittles gumballs yup I don’t do that as much now
Laffy Taffy and Now & Laters… I like both!
Good for you liking everything
Anyone remember the square chunky chocolate!
I love CHUNK
"What a chunk of chocolate! ('50s) Open wide for Chunky! ('60s).

In my area, Michaels Craft stores sell old fashioned things like Necco wafers, Boston Baked Beans, Good&Plenty, Mike&Ikes, etc. I admit to buying Neccos, which I love.
I'm glad people still enjoy them, for sure. It is great to hear somewhere like MIchaels has them. That is somewhat convenient.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!❤❤❤ All the memories, my brain is flooded. Love the narrator, so funny!😂😊❤❤❤
You are so sweet. It is all in fun. And I know everyone has their own opinions and takes on these candies, just sharing mine and some great memories. Thanks for watching. There are others here who get bent out of shape if I don't agree with their favs, but you sound even keel.

Well, I enjoyed your video so much, I subscribed to your channel!🤗
About 5 years ago I ordered my brother a pack of 20 Mr. Bones he LOVED them and laughed when he thanked me. He gave a few out for Halloween and kept the rest for himself.
That is so cool. What a great surprise and a great gift. HOpe he made a skeleton out of one of them. THanks for sharing.
It's been a while since I went Trick or Treating back in the 1960s, so I don't remember every type of candy I used to get, but my favorite was anything chocolate, like the little Milky Way & Three Musketeer bars. They didn't call them fun-size back then and the small bars were only sold around Halloween. Some people gave me pennies or maybe a nickel and if I got a small box of raisins or a little apple it went right into the trash. I liked apples but not those little ones, they just didn't look good. My grandmother lived around the corner from us, so her house was on our Trick or Treat route. She always gave out Dum Dums which were small suckers, and I mean SMALL. The stick was about three inches long and the candy part was round and less than half the size of a Tootsie Pop. I loved Tootsie Pops, there was a liquor store in a strip mall around the corner from where I lived where I would buy comic books and candy bars and they had a container filled with Tootsie Pops on the counter that were 2 cents each. I could get my favorite flavors, which were root beer or cherry. Milk Duds and Sugar Babies were my go-to candy when I went to the movies on Saturday afternoon, along with a box of popcorn.
You remember some good ones for sure. I remember the word fun size appearing in the 70s, but don't know when. we did love getting those, but more rare as we got the strange and unusual ones more often; those we didn't get but during Halloween. Either way, they were all just sweet goodness. Thank you for writing.
Oh, Mr. Bones was my absolute favorite when I was little, not just because of the flavor but also because I loved singing “The _____ bone’s connected to the… ______ bone!” while reconstructing the skeleton.
I loved those wax bottles. I’d drink the sugar-water then chew them. I also loved red hots, Boston baked beans, and Razzles.
I loved all those...excpet chewing wax. Just not my thing. But more power to all of you that loved it.
Boston baked beans and Lemonheads my absolute favorite. I love your video.
We had this "french burnt" bean candy, which was like Boston Baked beans, but bumpy, also Slo-Poke Suckers.
I KNEW there was candy that was bumpy but like BBB. I thought I was crazy that it was just a false memory of BBB. Thank you so much.
@@GENXPERIENCE Almost hard as a rock though.
YES!!! Loved those!
@@stevegabbert9626 you had to hold them in your mouth and suck them a bit till they softened! (Not too soft, of course, just enough that you wouldn't crack a tooth lol.)
@@woodelfm.2462 Oh yeah, forgot about that, but I usually couldn't wait. LOL
OK, dude, I liked NECO wafers, but you did make me laugh. You didn't mention the cigarette made out of sugar, had a red end to look like it was lit, and looked like the real packs. Great trip down memory lane. Happy Halloween 🎃
I loved Mary Janes, and I've never seen the generic versions. Also loved Sugar Daddy, Sugar Babies and BitOHoney. My favorite treat were Butterfinger, Clark, 5th Avenue, Zagnut (anything peanut butter)
HUGE Peanut Butter fan, myself. Loved all of those. Yeah, if Mary Janes are truly the small black and orange wax paper wrapped candies, then I only knew the generics. Mary Janes had their own yellow packaging as far as I knew. But they could all just be copies of themselves.
Hey you left out coconut watermelon slices, dyed right down to the seeds, penny candy HEAVEN♥️
I also miss the little chicklettes
Mmm. Mimi-chicklet boxes. SO Halloween swag!
I forgot about Mr Bones! That brought back some long lost memories!
You and me both. When researching, I saw it...andvremembered getting it...and loving it! Thanks for watching
Halloween was big fun, a whole big bag of yummies! A candy bar was 10 cents in the store, but all that free candy, for only a little walk a thon about the neighborhood. From western Pa., we always said suckers and pop!
YES, Suckers and POP. I had to change it when I moved to Florida. Peer presure, lol.
Juicy fruit gum and Thrill's gum were my favorite
Next that generic bubble gum brand
I have forgotten so many of these. Thanks for the memories.
I think Neccos have improved. They’re made by the same company that makes Valentine conversation hearts. I’ve bought them recently, they’re fine by me. I always hated getting those black or orange wax paper wrapped candies. I hucked those in the trash.
You missed Good n' Plenty! Great post, I smiled the entire time!!😊
Sixlets, LemonHeads,and Candy Cigs
take me back to better times!
And I used those 1¢ candy machine.
Oh, so little to buy so much back then. Take me back too, I am so happy with what my childhood gave me
I remember my siblings and I going through our plastic pumpkins of loot. I found a small cellophane bag with 5 candy corns inside that one neighbor gave. I mumbled something like "cheapskate" and my mom yelled at me. LOL
When I was a kid on Halloween trick or treating i got various different
kinds of candy mini candy bars, suckers, chewing gum, hard candies,
and many others but that was in the 70's thanks for the memories
have an awesome Halloween this year. my birthday is on the 14th
of October and I'll be 60 thank you.🇺🇲🍭🍬📺🍬🍫🇺🇲
Remember the coconut Dum Dum suckers?
Im 61 now and i still love smarties. And those sugar Daddys could pull a filling out of a tooth. The wax bottles were a definite favorite
