Can you remember the candies when you're still young? I'm 40s now and I never expected this childhood candies still up to this time. I remember them, White Rabbit, Viva and the famous Snow Bear. And yes the Kendi Mint. When I went to store awhile ago its amazing to see these candies still being sold. Yes I bought and reminisce the old taste of candies. Very sweet still. Not good for a man aging like me

Its not only the taste but the memories of the past child when candy is as special of today's chocolates.

White rabbit was one of my favorites back then. I know that there's a chewy version where you can eat the white wrapping paper. I was also a fan of Bazooka, Bobot candy, Kendi mint, Tarzan bubble gum, and so much more.

@ilocosboy No, It has a taste of softdrinks and its color was almost black or dark purple in color and the shape was round and not oblong. I can remember the taste and the description but I could not remember the name of the candy.

Our favourite was kidney shaped candies with orange colour and its taste is also like orange. It was so cheaper at that time. For the time passing it disappeared. Now a days children won't eat that kind of sweets.

When I was younger I used to eat many sweets, among other goodies! Even though my mom used to say it was bad for my teeth, I did not care and kept eating them. LOL

It's choc-nut, curly tops and flat tops for me yeah Viva and kendi mint, when it melts the chocolate inside explodes, white rabbit if you want hard candy although imported White rabbit or something that looks like it is softer.
