When you were a kid what was your favorite candy or toy?

Question

I was just thinking about those Super Hot War Head candies. They discontinued them. That was my fave candy when I was a kid. My favorite *toy* was my diary. I actually still use one.

What was your fave candy and toy and do you still like it, as an adult?

Answer 1

Something called chick-o-stick, I don't know why I liked those so much.  (poor teeth).  Favorite toy was tinker toys.

Answer 2

haunted house lollies. they dont make em anymore

Answer 3

Well I'm only a teenager but my favorite candy when I was a kid was twizzlers. I loved those things so much because they tasted so good and they didn't cause my stomach to hurt so much if I were to eat a lot of it like chocolate would do.

As for toys - well I was never one who owned a Barbie doll - never. I hated the girl so much. In fact, whenever I would get a Barbie doll for Christmas I would suggest we give it to some charity or to Goodwill or something so that the needy kids who actually like her can have her.I didn't feel I could "relate" to her because she had a family and everything and at age six/seven that was the age when I decided I didn't ever want to have kids. So my favorite toy was the Bratz dolls. I loved how there were different races and genders. Their clothes were a lot more modern and they were young. I loved to put on fashion shows for them which was also how I got into photography (I do it every now and then). I would get my camera and dress the dolls like they were actual models and put on a photo shoot for them. Some of the pics were actually good. I also started making my own clothes for them but I quit because I hated the way I made them.

Now as an teenager, I still do like Twizzlers but I like Sour Patch Kids and Airheads more now. I like stuff that's a little more sour. As for toys, well I've grown out of toys but I still do like the Bratz dolls. I've created such fun memories and they are what gave me story ideas to actually write. In fact, I write stories on them on FanFiction.net from time to time so I can say I still like them.

I know I'm not an adult, but I thought this was an interesting question and it indeed has brought back a flood of memories. :D

Answer 4

jolly ranchers, (the long flat ones) sour apple, and cherry, chic-o-stick, jaw breakers(the really huge ones)

I played with G.I. Joe.  I hated dolls, but played with the action figures with my brothers, while watching Gumby on TV.

Answer 5

I was totally a Reese's Pieces person and still love them.

My favorite toy-  when I was really little was a stuffed elephant with a shoe string tail.  It is still at my parent's house.

My favorite toy as an older child was puzzles.  I used to love puzzles.

Answer 6

As a kid my favorite candy was a "chic-o-stick" not sure on the spelling, it was kind of like the inside of a Butterfinger. My favorite toy for a long time was my Big Wheel I loved going really fast and then hitting the brakes and skidding sideways LOL oh to be a kid again. When I was bit older dolls/Barbies.

I think I would still like it though I have not seen one in years. One of the things I could not get enough of as a kid and think is awful now is cotton candy, who care about the sugar content it just taste terrible LOL

Answer 7

jolly ranchers, the big long flat ones (i don't think they even make them anymore).  i don't eat nearly as much candy as i used to, so no.

my favorite toy was the one i had as a baby where it looked like a farm house and you squeezed the animals and it made sounds and stuff.  even when i was older and too cool for myself i played with it on the sly, and i've seen newer versions but they aren't as good.

Answer 9

Candy - Snickers and M&Ms (still is)

Toy -  Barbies and Nintendo

Answer 10

My fav candy was dark chocolate.  Yes I was an odd child, and even today the darker the chocolate the more I love it.  At least my younger brother and sister never stole any of my candy cause they hated it.  As for toys I have to say sidewalk chalk and bubbles.  They are not really toys, but I loved them, and still do.  Oh and I loved Teenage Mutin Ninja Turtles, so I had all the action figures and I loved legos and remote controled race cars.
