My parents used to take me shopping at Sears as a kid and my "reward" for behaving would be these purchased from the candy counter there:

I also used to like these, but after a while you would get a stomach ache from swallowing too much paper that stuck to the back of the candy...lol

How about bubblegum cigarettes? First you pretended to smoke them, then you peeled the paper off and chewed the gum.

[MUDXPRT]

These all bring back memories and I'm 42 so that must be the ballpark age.

[riverbound]

Abba Zabbas are my favorite, my mom used to throw them on the dash board of our truck on the way out to the river and if we were good atdesert center we would get to eat them. nothing better than a melted Abba Zabba.
