I still can’t figure out what White Mystery is — other than a taste of amazing.

Every Halloween, I would beg Mom to take us to Mcdonald’s so we could get these pails! I also used them for trick or treating. My brother and I had a blast. By the time Halloween was over, they smelled of fries and chocolate.
McDonald’s and its many products, commercials, and playlands sure bring out the nostalgia in this bunch!

I will admit that these things are pretty tasty, but there are few things in this world that are worse when it comes to sugary gunk getting stuck in your teeth. Especially if you, like me, end up biting into the lollipop before properly finishing. Caramel Apple Pops, manufactured by Tootsie Roll Industries, were introduced in 1995 and are still sold today. So go get yourself some cavities!

These things were, and still are, great. I loved sipping these thing as a kid. They were the basis for fruit gushers. The only problem was the wax itself, because once you tore the top off the little bottle top, the juice inside would come pouring out.
Personally, I think these were better in theory than in execution. I agree with Dalton that the wax was a problem, and once you admit that, you have to wonder “What was the point?” However, as kids, wax soda bottles seemed so cool, and even just looking at a picture of them takes me back to days long gone.

Taste the burn! These were never my favorite candy. Were they anyone’s favorite candy? I don’t think so. Then again, I never thought I’d hear someone say that Boston Baked Beans were their favorite candy, but someone recently proved me wrong. Interestingly (or not), The Ferrara Pan Candy Company produced both the aforementioned candies, as well as Lemonheads, Jawbreakers, and Atomic Fireballs. Despite not caring much for these “spicy” crunchies, they do evoke a sense of nostalgia; one hasn’t passed my lips since childhood.
