Quoted from ronlisa:Trying to live a healthier lifestyle now that I'm getting older, but I ate a bunch of these things back in the day.
I enjoy some vegetables and fruits now more than most of the junk food I ever ate. Plus they don't make me gain weight or feel like shit after eating them.

I'm not too big on candy nowadays, but they were always one of my favorites. I've found a box with 11 in it and now I'm going to try and fill it for the nephews. already ate a couple rolls though

Quoted from o-din:Avocado toast with honey.
The Mrs. loves avocado toast but I think she usually has it with onions or some other potent smelling ingredient. She heads to work before I do and the smell wakes me up in the morning when she makes it. 
I think I'd really enjoy your way o-din, I'll give it a try.
Quoted from TractorDoc:I think I'd really enjoy your way o-din, I'll give it a try.
I'm not big on candy or sweets. Seems that's more of a girl thing, but I do love my honey avocado toast! Something I created on my own over 30 years ago. Now avocado toast is all the rage and there are restaurants that specialize in it.
Some nights I just create whatever and last night I had Triscuit nachos. They were good!
These dipped in sour cream are pretty darn good too!
Quoted from Frippertron:In Scranton, PA it's all about Manning's ice cream and Gertrude Hawk.
Love them smidgens!!
Quoted from tp:Middlesworth bbq chips. There is no other chip on the planet that tastes like it. Truly one of a kind when it comes to taste and my absolute favorite. Don't believe me....try it and get back to me you'll be glad you did.
Grandma Utz kicks Middlesworth's ass...
I like them Take 5 bars...pretzels and chocolate FTW
Quoted from chad:Those little half circles domes of chocolate with tiny white sprinkles. Can't think of the name.
Snow caps?

) them for a couple decades. Quoted from ImNotNorm:Bonkers candy. Haven't had any since the early 90s....can't find it anymore.
Some company called "leaf brand" promised to come out with it in 2015. So far....nothing!!
I loved these as a kid! Who can forget those wacky commercials.
Nevus you the man! thanks for the marathon bar remake link! I too sadly remember paying 15cents for one. Favorite cookies: peanut butter oreos!!

A local guy in Wisconsin bought the rights to the Farrell's name a few years back and opened a restaurant. Not sure how much it cost him to get the rights, but he royally screwed it up after going through the bother of paying for it. The place had no charm, no class. It was just a stock generic restaurant. Colossal failure. Closed up pretty quickly.
TractorDoc You can get genuine South Australian made Nestle Violet Crumble off the shelf at your local Cost Plus store.
Nestle sold the brand and production rights to local SA chocolate manufacturer Menz at the start of this year.

Thanks for the tip -- Unfortunately I don't think there are any Cost Plus stores near me (had honestly not heard of that chain before). I'll keep a lookout -- one of the advantages of the world wide web is I can order candy from across the globe, shipping costs can get kind of steep though.
You can still buy Fruit Stripe gum on Amazon and other various outlets. The flavor lasts about as long as it takes to unwrap the stick of gum, but I still like it.

I saw them in stock in one of their California outlets a month ago when I was over there.
Cost Plus World Market was the full name. Not sure what the name that the locals refer to it as so I called it Cost Plus for short.
They are a bricks and mortar chain and with some google searching also have an online presence as well so at least it will save on international shipping.

Quoted from PinballNewb:+1 for Sour Skittles.
I like 'em, but too many and they start to tear up the inside of my mouth. Sour Patch kids too. Switch back to regular skittles when that happens.
Very happy/surprised to see Circus Peanuts at the top of this thread. I love 'em, family thinks I'm crazy, but wife finds bags at the Dollar store and loads me up. I don't care if orange vs blue vs green.
But best is Jelly beans. Jelly Belly, Sweet Tart, Now and Later, all make tasty flavored beans.
I'll add Chewy Sweet Tarts here as well, since I haven't seen it above.
