A while back, I was fooling around with a song, including as many kinds of candy, ice cream and soda pop as I could remember that I could get at the corner store. I came up with a pretty long list, but I wonder what you remember... there has to be a Brit split on this one... Aussies probably had their own stuff, too.

Chum Gum came out for a while in the earl fifties, and was a pack of gum for only 3 cents. After you'd chewed a stick for about three minutes, the muscles in your jaw would start to lock up, and after another three or four minutes, it would become too painful to chew. We always figured that it was re-processed gum from under the seats in a movie theater... but hey, it was only three cents, and if you didn't have a nickle, you selectively forgot how bad the stuff was.

Sugar daddies were caramel suckers on a wooden stick that had a little saying embossed into the stick.

Care to add any delicacies to the list? I'm getting hungry, already...
