Looking Back at Nostalgic Candy
I watched Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, well today my daughter wanted to watch the original.
Ok, i'm 32 years old and the movie is 35 years old but it took me back a little bit. I started remembering the candy I used to eat as a kid.
The Marathon Bar: braided Caramel dipped in chocolate
Chuckles: flavored jelly candy kinda like orange slices but different flavors
Candy Cigarettes: with the dust so when you blew into them it would look like smoke
Chocolate cigarettes (Now I think I know why I smoke all of that darned candy)
Chico Sticks: Like a butterfinger but without the chocolate
If any of you out there are interested they still sell this stuff. I don't know if there is a candy store here in West Allis but if there is please comment on it I would love to share some of my old time favorites with my kids.
Here is a link to a good place on the web that has it all!!! I answered my self here I had no idea this place is on Oak Creek Duh!!!
Here is a blog devoted just to candy how cool!!

Excellent work! Good find.
Candy shops in West Allis?
I've seen something on Greenfield and 100-something. I think it's "Nut to You."
Mayfair Mall also has a candy store near the theater now, with some of the classics.
There was this really great store, also in West Allis, that has now since closed, but they had ALL this great old candy & memoribilia too. Last Christmas, i bought about $50.00 of nostalgic candy for my dad that he could munch on while he watched DVD's of I Love Lucy since we bought him a dvd player for Christmas too . I'm sure the store didn't generate nearly enough revenue to stay open. It was such a great little shop, those are always the one's you miss when they close.
