Remember this Candy…

10.24.2011 by Girl on Fire // 7 Comments

When I was a kid my favorite gum was the Fruit Stripe Gum!  I always had to have it!  then one day it just wasn’t available anywhere!  Well, now I have some here in my house!

My kids are chewing my old school gum with me!  But now it’s sugar free!

I have to be honest and tell you that not all of my children have the love for the gum that I did as a child.  Emma however, is a girl after my own heart and is a Fruit Stripe Gum freak now!  She has to have it!  She also thinks the wrapper tattoos are pretty darn cool!

It was so fun to be able to give the girls something that I had as a kid and that I have not had since then!

We found it at an online at a store called Blair Candy.  They have all sorts of candy and great selection of nostalgic candy!

I totally remember walking to the corner store to get the Candy Cigarettes as well!  Too funny!  Did you ever get this candy?

They even have the Cinnamon Toothpicks!  My brother was addicted to these!

If you are looking for that favorite candy from your childhood you may just find it at Blair Candy!  They have a huge selection of Halloween Candy as well!

We received a sample pack of Fruit Stripe Gum to facilitate this review.  No compensation was received.

    I loved the candy cigarettes. They were just sugar sticks! My mom smoked, I hated every minute of it, but I loved those things! (ps… I do not smoke). 🙂 Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

        I wasn’t a fan of the gum itself, but the puff of smoke was great! 🙂
