    Horehound candy. Big in the 1900's NOT in the 1950's. Used to get it a penny a piece, out of a big barrel in a General Store. (see old westerns for this) You can still buy it out of catalogues that sell old fashioned products.

    hi, the first sweet is Chuckles. It grow to be made in Danville, IL till the plant closed 40 ? years in the past. OOPS, those were jellies in blocks of diverse colorations each. i recognize what you recommend about the white ones, yet i do not keep in mind. the different i imagine got here in a yellow wrapper. i imagine you recommend Butter Finger. easily i imagine it really is peanut butter some thing...I actually have considered them round. the massive bar is Butter Finger.

    Were they flat and sort of rectangular.I think they were like a cough lozenge, kind of an ether taste.I can't think of the name but I've seen them in the bulk food store.
