    The ice cream man also used to sell candy cigarettes. Like two types, too. They even sold loosies for us poor kids.

    I’m 100% serious.

      $0.25 a box from our ice cream guy. They’d be powdery from rubbing on each other in the box so you could put one in your mouth and blow out and make a little puff cloud and look cool as fuck

      Then we all started smoking

        Indeed. I remember when the candy ones started coming with a burnt looking end to simulate the cherry of a cig. Right when we were starting to get bored of them they came out with it, huge hit!

      Yes, the old we got beat daily, drank DDT, swam in leaded petrol tanks and used to roam freely around the neighbourhood and those of us that didn’t disappear, die or drop off the map because of crippling disease turned out fine as far a I can tell (zero self awareness). Kids these days are just soft

    Growing up as a second-generation immigrant I didn’t have any grandma/grandpa figures to look up to. My family became very good friends with another family, and their family’s “grandma” always treated me like one of her own. She would always have raisin shortbread cookies or chocolate push pops like the ones pictured above, and I would always gobble them down.

    Thank you Jacque, you stripped away a lot of my internalized fears, I miss you heaps.

    Does anyone remember Nesquik having a toilet paper roll chocolate ice cream bar thing? I’m pretty sure it really existed and I miss it.

        I wasn’t sure if they were even called Nesquik yet at that time. Very cool.
