    I got some of those candy cigarettes in my office. My wife bought me an 80s candy box for my 40th birthday

    Dove are actually really good. You just need to leave them a little rare.

    Oh yeah for sure, I remember we'd puff on the cigarettes and that white stuff between the paper and the cigarette would come out the end looking like smoke.

    Bubble gum cigars too, so good.

    My local hobby shop sold all this stuff. They sold the LARGE Swedish Fish, I don't know if people remember those. They were like a dime or a quarter each. They had grape and red, whatever flavor the red is. They would be inside the case in a box.

    I got hooked on using the cinnamon toothpicks for a while too, I don't know why haha.

    Those small handheld football games were addictive hahaha, I had the green one. Then I had the basketball one too, I think it was white. Then a fancier football version came out.

    It was shaped like a football, I can't find a pic of it on google.

    Now I'm gonna go buy one.

    Those were the shizzle back in the day. My mom was not the greatest cook and, because we could not afford Jiffy Pop, would always burn the popcorn on "Family Nights". Once we got the air popper it made the "Family Night" something to look forward to! :rofl:

    Hell yeah @kent50

    I remember hovering over the butter melting tray lol

    We thought the damn airpopper was the most insane invention ever, people were still trying to make popcorn on their stove tops at that time.

    Making Popcorn on a stove top is an art form, had to have the right pot, glass lid. My mom was pretty good at it, got burned once in awhile, but all that melted butter, em ! No wonder I take Lipitor :rofl:
