Have you ever seen an "old school" favorite candy from your childhood that you haven't seen in ages and then realize... oh no they didn't... the modern version has gone PC?!?!!  Politically correct candy OMG, I almost peed my pants! *laughing hysterically*  I'm at the Trick-Or-Treating event with the Grandkids yesterday, picking up some last minute candy for Halloween and I almost didn't recognize one of my old favorites from childhood.  Candy Sticks????? *Puzzled expression*  Hey, these look like those Candy Cigarrettes I used to Jones for as a kid!!! *picking bag up for a closer inspection*  The little boxes look the same, only now they have Halloween and Super Hero decorations... I wonder says I... if it IS the old fav I haven't seen in years???!!  At a dollar a bag, why not, so I buy some, anticipating the nostalgia if it IS the old favorite I so fondly remembered as a kid???  I used to ADORE those things and I felt so cool pretending to smoke them! *And NO peeps, it didn't turn me into a Smoker later on in life, since I never did  smoke the real things as a teen or adult, abhor them actually Smiles... but,  pretending to as a kid was a trip and they tasted SO GOOD! Wink*  So Princess T and I took some out of the 'lil boxes, WHAT, no red tip anymore *LOL*, but, other than that, yep, same confection *whew*, tastes the same, just as enjoyable! *YES, I know its off Plan but there's only two of these things in a box so I didn't go wheels off peeps!*  Then she says it... with her 4 year old astute observational skills... "Hey Gramma, you know what these Candy Sticks look like??? Cigarettes!!!" *giggling*  And she proceeds to puff on them just like I remember doing and enjoying the taste just as much as I remember doing. *LOL*  "And they taste so good Gramma, these are my NEW favorites..."  Ah, the apple didn't fall far from the tree my Friends... and even though they TRIED to make this delightful confection politically correct... you can't fool the rug rats... and its not very likely to be the deciding factor in them deciding to smoke either later in life IMO.  *Interviewing a long time Smoker who says it all started back when they had that 1st candy cigarette...!!! smiles* But I sure am glad that they're back... perhaps they never really went away... they've just been disguised in their PC friendly packaging/marketing guise... and its all good.  And BTW, today I also saw ANOTHER old fav make a comeback on Cartoon Network... THE PINK PANTHER cartoon!  Wow, I says to my grown Son, I haven't seen this old favorite in a LONG TIME, I LOVE this cartoon!!!  "Me too, it was always a favorite." he says, "You wanna know why they BANNED it for a while Mom? Because he smokes..."  *OMG too coincidental!!! I'm almost peeing my pants again peeps!* We laughed and considered all the violence and mayhem we see displayed on the modern Cartoons, action toys and video games... the Pink Panther and Candy Cigarettes are tame by comparison!  "UNDER DOG too Mom, Banned because obviously he was a Speed freak... popping those 'lil pills every time he got ready to go fight crime..." *OMG, LMAO ROTF now peeps!* Lord have Mercy, this was just too good my Friends... laughing 'til it hurts... hey, does that count as exercise I wonder????!?!?!?!?! *hummmmmmmmm*
