You can still find candy cigarettes here in Louisiana. Loved those things when I was little. Only other candy I really liked was big league chew, but you can find that too.
You'd think I'd have more considering my parents ran a corner grocery/candy store for about 5 years, but there wasn't much I liked that isn't still around.

Childhood candies you remember.
i used to live off of WarHeads. me and one of my friends used to stuff as many of em as we could in our mouth cuase thought we were bad ass and afterwards the sides of our mouths would be all raw and eaten away from the acid.haha
when i went up as saw liam in canada last year though there were these things called kinder-eggs. man, they were these chocolate egg things with white chocolate inside and a toy in eachone and man those things were AWESOME!
As a kid, I never really ate candy all that much. Even during Halloween. I had a few candies every now and then, but it wasn't…well…normal. Although I have ALWAYS loved gum.
Bubblicious (think I spelled that wrong) used to have this Cola kind. I forgot the name, but it was my favorite and still is my favorite. It just tasted so good, and it was amazing.
But they stopped making it a while ago. I was sad back then, and I still am now.
I really want that gum now ;_;
Heh… Even though I'm too old to enjoy the candy/toy stuff, I was still entranced by the commercial. :)
Nestle's Wonder Ball
Well… the song anyway…
Kind of like those black and orange plain Halloween candies.
OH GOSH. All the old people in my neighborhood gave those out. Gross…They were like peanut butter taffy or something weren't they?
Oh and:I remember when they came with toys…
Ah… there was a candy I enjoyed as a kid. I always got a big package of it when I went to visit my parents relative in another country. Kyupol might recognize this one… It was a taffy wrapped in white paper with a rabbit on it. I forgot what it was called, though…
[edit] I just went through the trouble of checking it out on Wikipedia. It's a candy from China called White Rabbit Creamy Candy. Too bad I can't find it locally…
Fini Boom, Atomic Sourballs/Fireballs, Nerdz, Dweebz, Meteorites, Parma Violets, Double Dip, Jolly Rancher Hard Candy, Buttheads (They got discontinued pretty quickly so I only ever had about one or two.You can't forget squeezing jelly out of a brightly coloured arse with eyes and a hat.), Kinder Surprise, Irn Bru bars, Sour Eyeballs, Push Pop, Big Baby Pop, Fun gums (Foam teeth and toothbrushes), Mega Mouth Spray Candy, Highland Toffee, KP Chocolate Dip, Flump, Fizz Bombs, foot and a half long sticks of bubble gum (Didn't know the company name, but they did them in the local shop not long after we'd moved here nine years ago last week. Lol).
There's a lot of other ones, a lot of them are difficult to find on the internet since they were discontinued. I'll try and put some more up in the future and maybe a few unnamed ones to see if anybody remembers them better than I do.

Oh and:
I came into this thread with EXACTLY those in mind! I remember buying one thinking that I would get a small figurine as advertised on commercials, but I was extremely disappointed when I found there was only a sticker inside.
On a different subject, I remember being scared of Jolly Ranchers as a kid because my friend had part of a tooth ripped off when one got stuck to it. I cringe whenever I see one these days >_<
I used to love Candy Corn when I was younger, to the point that I would play around with them by sticking a bunch in by mouth and acting like they were my own jagged teeth. But then I didn't have candy corn for a while and I forgot about the stuff entirely, until last Halloween when I went to a volunteer get-together at the museum, where they had a great big bowl of candy corn that was probably made in 1978. I tried some, and as it turns out, I still like it.

Wait… What was made in 1978? The candy? Or the bowl??? I mean well made fruitcake can last 30 years and still be edible and tasty, but candy corn?!?
I can't remember what they were called, but… the strips of paper with multicolored dots of sugar? You had to peel them off one at a time and the paper always got stuck to the back. Now that I think of it, they weren't that tasty. ^_^; But it was fun trying to eat them without eating paper.

I found Necco Wafers there too. (Necco is the company that makes those buttons too.)
I can't seem to remember a candy that's ever been discontinued that I used to eat. Only stuff that's been changed and altered somehow. For example I hated it when they chanced the flavor of Fanta. It used to be my favorite soda drink but now I never touch it.
Allot of my candies are local stuff that you've never heard of. We have this really strong flavored licorice that incredibly hard to chew. We call it 'Opal. Hmm.. oh and there are two rival candy factories (called Noi and Freyja) that constantly try to out tromp each other, especially during Easter. What I like about the Freyja candy is that they always make these ridiculously silly names for their candies. Names like Stick, Deep, That, This, Dream, etc.
pez! didn't anybody nag at their parents in the supermarket checkout line for those ridiculous dispensers? i know i did.
WONKA BARS. i can't believe those haven't been mentioned!
my favorite was and still is (even though as an adult i don't really care for sweets anymore) butterfinger, even before the simpsons commercials. did anyone else keep trying to buy more butterfinger bars during that who shot mr. burns era, when each wrapper had like a mini-dossier on different characters? oh man, those were the days. i also liked 5th avenue, the butterfinger rip off, and nerds. and smarties. and WARHEADS… which i guess aren't being made as strong as they used to.
anyone else remember those ridiculous bubble yum commercials?
SIX FEET OF BUBBLEGUM!!! FOR YOU!!!! notthem.
hahaha i remember seeing shit like that and then looking at my grandparents and their boring ass see's candy. this is the candy for MY generation, BITCH
Candy cigarettes (or Bubble Gum Cigars)– They were this gum-like candy that designed to look like cigarettes when wrapped. you could blow on it, and flour/something else would come out of it to simulate smoke. sometimes they looked pretty realistic, especially if you blew on it a certain way and held it like how you would do a real cigarette.
I remember I would get a few stares from adults when I was very young then because of that. Afterward I would just take off the wrapper and then chew it.
You can guess easily why this candy was discontinued.
Oh wow, I remeber those! I used to get Candy cigarettes for Holloween and special occasions! They were really good… To bad they got discontinued though…
I kinda want one of those now… ;_;
