Bubble gum was the big item for us then, but oh, to smell the delights. It was worth the bike ride.Aletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605214202876973830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671536805876663540.post-69603397319671143352008-08-28T07:37:00.000+05:302008-08-28T07:37:00.000+05:30My very favorite candy was Abba Zabba, especially ...My very favorite candy was Abba Zabba, especially when my mom put it out in the sun for a few minutes to melt the taffy!

Whenever we went out, with our parents, chana and peanuts, bought from a vendor who sold heaps of it under a heated earthen pot was the choice. There used to be a 25p cadbury chocolate (the size of todays 5 star) available then , and getting that , very rarely, on some really special occasion was a supreme deal.......Ugich Konitarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901335427613806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671536805876663540.post-8438686615984388852008-08-25T09:46:00.000+05:302008-08-25T09:46:00.000+05:30Lolly-PopThe orange color ice-cream was my favouri...Lolly-Pop<BR/>The orange color ice-cream was my favourite which we used to purchase in the afternoon/evening hours when the man in his ice-cart visit streets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
