Okay, so yesterday I met this family downtown for just a few minutes to take their picture before they had dinner. I wish I could have spent more time with them! I got a call from Liz Hardy a few weeks ago asking me to meet them. She told me all about their amazing family! The dad, in his 80's, was a World War II pilot. His wife is also famous. Her nickname is "Bit O Honey" ~ sound familiar! That's right, the candy bar, Bit O Honey was named after her!!!
Then there is one of their son's who lives out in LA. His family and I got to the park first and we got to chat for quite awhile which was awesome. He created the cartoon CatDog!
His son is a senior at NYU (that's where I graduated so long ago) studying film and his daughter is about to go to Rhode Island to study photography.
So here is what I thought would be fun! Why not hold a contest to get a package of "nostalgic candy", like Bit O Honey!

Hi Lea!
What another cute contest!
There are so many good ones to choose from, but I would have to say my favorite candy as a kid were Sugar Daddy Pops and Fun Dip.
I haven't had any in ages so what a treat it would be to get all this terrific candy....although I definitely DON'T need it!
:-)
Hope you are having a great weekend!
Kathryn
I don't fall into any of the categories you mentioned in your above post (I'm just a blog reader - I don't have one of my own), so I don't know if I'm eligible, but I'm going to share my favourite candy anyway in the hopes that it will help get more people to comment.
My favourite candy when I was a little kid was fruity bears (like gummy bears, but made with fruit juice). There was a bulk food store that we used to go to every month or two for staples like flour and oatmeal, and every time we went we'd get some fruity bears as a treat.

Awww man....I loved B B Bats - yum. Remember when you would go to the country store and buy loose candy and put it in a small brown paper bag? Those were the days!! lol
Just checking out the site. Katie is my neice, Patti is my sister, yes they are both GREAT!
Patti will agree with this one. We would go to our grandparent house out of town several times a year. There was a "family" store across the street. The best thing of all was getting Grandpa to dig in his pockets for nickels and pennies to take over for that "brown bag of candy". My favorite would have to be the grape gumballs or the little balls of chocolate coated with colored candy, there were about 8 in a plastic wrapper. The best memories were or course, Grandpa and his teasing when he looked for the change, it always seemed to magically appear from behind someones ear!
