Remember the good old days when you could get penny candy? Did you have any favorites that you just can't seem to find anymore? I found a place where you can find them.. also all kinds of foods that you can't find easily. I used to really like the little wafer saucers that had little candies inside.

If only I am there in your country. I will build a factory candy for you that you're surely will love. All varieties of candies you wish to eat are all up there. I like candies when I was a child. I made collectibles all candy wrappers as my alternate source of real paper money. Candy that is quite expensive wrapper of it valued also as an expensive alternate paper money and cheap one valued also as cheap paper money. Then my playmates used it as payments in our market-market playing ceremony. Wanna play with me? Have some candy wrapper first! Hehe

I remember the days you would go to the local Milk Bar and the shelves were lined with big glass jars filled with differnts lollies and if you asked for an ice-cream the shop would have about 3 big silver doors on the bench and the icecream would be scooped out from big round containers. I guess one for vanilla one for chocolate and one for strawberry...and the milk bars in those day had this wonderful grocery shop smell about them.....ah memories....

I don't remember candy for a penny, unless it was out of those gum ball machines. The only thing I got for a penny was a piece of bubble gum. All the candies were a nickle. Now they are $1.50.

Nice links, thanks! ^_^ I really wasn't around for penny candy, but there used to be a discount store just down the street where my friends and I would go all the time and buy as much candy as we could for whatever spare change we could round up from our parents. I loved that. I appreciate you bringing back those memories, thanks! ^_^
