Dani and Jair are the two kids in class that the teacher can't have sitting next to each other because they're going to do nothing but talk all class.
-
Fun fact, some of the candy cigarettes that came out, actually had a flour coating between the wax paper in the candy, so if you blew on the end of the cigarette, it looked like smoke
-
"Boomer candy" immediately shows 80's commercial aimed at Gen Xers
-
The candy cigarettes are not the same, they were not gum back in the day, it was more like eating creamy chalk!
-
My mom loves the charleston chew candy. She usually keeps it in the fridge or freezer. Also 2000's kid here, salt water taffy is a must anytime we go to the coast.
-
Saltwater Taffy is good. It’s basically softer Starburst or Laffy Taffy so you don’t break your teeth on them.
-
The blonde girl must be an old soul if she recognized the taste of Necco wafers.
-
I'm 62 and we didn't eat most of these. They were more like my parents' (born in the '20s) candy. Except Pez and candy cigarettes (but I never liked those). We ate Goobers, Sno Caps, Baby Ruths, $100,000 bars, Pixy Stix, Hershey's, Nestle Crunch, etc.
-
The blond girl (I don't know her name) I am amazed she knew what Necco wafers were. That shocked me for someone her age. That's a very very old school candy that to this day I still enjoy. It also seems her pallet was more aligned with people of older generations then the younger generation she belongs to.
-
I was really hoping to see Chico sticks. Bit of honey and Mary Janes and bullseyes
-
I'm Gen X and the candy cigarettes that we had in those packs weren't the gum version, they were like chalk sticks.
-
What? No Wax Lips, Wax Coke Bottles, Or Necco's
-
You should have given them Horehound candy. Or Black Jack gum.
-
I grew up in the 80-90s and these candy's were calling penny candy,we had a little corner store and you could get a little brown bag of candy for.10 cents. Mix and match your favorite. Better candies were a nickel or a dime. Those were the best days to be a kid.
-
I'm a GenX/Millennial and none of these candies have the same taste or texture they had when I was a kid. The ingredients changed and they don't taste as good as they used to😢
-
I unironiclly love circus peanuts
-
So we not gonna acknowledge that they put a gif of Drake when Dani was swinging that Charleston Chew around😂😂😂
-
The teaberry gum is not supposed to be hard. It very very old if it's doing that.
-
I am 70 and chewed a lot of Teaberry gum in my day, and it was NOT crunchy when I was young!!
-
I think Jair and Dani may have imbibed in a bit of the Devil's Lettuce before this shoot. 😂😂😂
