I remember sen-sen, too. Along the same lines, Dad always kept Sucrets in his glove compartment, which my brother and I loved to swipe.
But my favorite flavor was barbequed flavored Charles Chips, which they no longer make in the big yellow tin( only plain that I can find) and treacle toffee, that my uncle Carl would bring me from England, or I could buy here, from Callard and Browsers.
Sucrets! oh yeah.
I think I remember that more by name than actually ever seeing it! It’s amazing that it lasted more than 200 years!
Sad that it’s gone.
My Grandmother loved Blackjack gum. Is was that black licorice flavored gum that I pretended to like.
Another, still available I think, are Slo-Poke’s. Huge bars of chocolate caramel on a stick. God, I loved those bars growing up. I would piggyback a ride with my dad to the drugstore with hopes he would buy me one. Sure enough, he rarely disappointed me.
Blackjack gum! And there was another more fruity flavor, what was it..teagarden? something like that. I don’t know SloPokes.
Oh! Thank you for the reminder! We used to buy Sen-Sen when we were kids, and back then it came in little foil envelopes. Fun memory. 🙂
You remember it!
Oh yes I remember Sen-Sen. I also remember my grandmother always had cloret gum on her dresser. Or maybe it was called Clorets.
I remember Clorets!
Mild Duds and Good & Plenty!
They are still around, Janie! Yum!
My Mom would try to describe Sen Sen to me and wish she could carry some in her handbag. And then one day, when helping someone pack their home, she was presented with a couple of little boxes of Sen Sen. I loved it too and probably polished off quite a bit of her precious stuff. Now she carries tic tacs! 😉
Necco wafers & fizzies giggles. I liked to dissolve the fizzies in my mouth and i remember how they would stain your mouth and toung .and cherry shoestring licorice for a penny a piece at the little candy store on the way home from school back in 1964
It makes you wonder why it’s gone. Could be like Coke a long time ago made with cocaine. Maybe it wasn’t so healthy. But I like the packaging.
I loved it! Maybe just too old fashioned.
I never heard of SenSen although my husband says that Billy Joel even sang about them in Keeping the Faith.
oh i forgot that! I have to play it now!
Don’t remember it, but what cool, retro boxes!
In the real sense, retro!
I wish to buy 20% of the copyright from F&F for a dollar and take the market by storm. The time is right.
