Subject: RE: BS: Name this candy: US 1960s
As I scroll through the pages at the old time candy site, I marvel that some of this stuff is still around.

I was a serious hard candy junky as a child.

Watermelon jolly ranchers...

Lemonheads & Sour Lemons...

Peppermint kisses...

Red hots...

Dum Dum lollipops.

But I haven't seen my biggest fave, Firestix. They were super hot cinammon candy in the shape of a bar, but was hard candy. You lick them to a super sharp point, then stick and poke your siblings with them, just like we did with the candy canes at Xmas time.
