1. Smarties
   Atomic Fireballs
2. Necco Wafers
   Sweetarts

Chalky, crunchy and delicious, these little guys can still be found from time to time (mostly around Halloween), and if you're like us, every time you see a roll, you just have to buy it.

1. Wax lips
   Sugar lips
2. Reddies
   Red Hots

Wax lips were considered candy. You could play with them, have the giant lips of a cartoon character, and when you were done, you could chew on the wax (yeah, it was a thing). They didn't taste terrible, very close to lipstick (don't ask us how we know that).

1. Dots
   Candy Buttons
2. Sno-Caps
   Zero

Candy Buttons (some people refer to them as candy earrings) were basically just piles of sugar dropped onto paper. If you were lucky, you didn't eat strips of paper while you ate these things (and yes, it took luck).

1. Smarties
   Sweetarts
2. Necco Wafers
   Candy Money

Necco Wafers pretty much didn't taste like anything ... unless you were unlucky enough to get a licorice-flavored one, as those ones tasted like burning. They weren't a terrible candy, but they couldn't hold up against the intense flavors that came out in the '80s and '90s.

1. Caramel Ropes
   Sweet Centers
2. Licorice Wands
   Cow Tales

Cow Tales can still be found at gas station counters at pit stops across the country. They were basically caramel wrapped around a creamy paste. They had an interesting texture, and if you ever come across one, give it a try.

1. Atomic Fireballs
   Sour Balls
2. Gumballs
   Wicked Rollers

If you love the taste of fake cinnamon, you probably absolutely loved these little spheres from hell. They burned, and this sensation was something the manufacturer was proud of. They first made an appearance in the 1950s, and you may be able to find a few of them today.

1. Sugarpop
   BB Bats
2. Popstick
   Artstick

If you ever tried to bite into one of these bad boys, you probably ended up with nothing less than a trip to the dentist. Taffy is good, but when it sits on the shelf too long, it becomes rock hard.

1. Egg Ropes
   Caramel Yums
2. Curly Wurly
   Surely Furly

These candies were popular in the 1970s, and they are pretty much nonexistent these days. It was basically just caramel and a little bit of chocolate, making for some intense caramel pulls.

1. Baseball Bites
   Chewing Tobies
2. Spitters
   Big League Chew

If you never had a neighborhood battle in which two or more kids wanted to see how much of this they could fit in their mouth, you never lived. It was a bubble gum that came in strips, like chewing tobacco ... which all baseball players used back then.

1. Lick-a-Maid
   Oldie Dippers
2. Sherbet Fountain
   Flip Sticks

It's a pretty old candy, but it was pretty popular and inspired some of our current favorite candies. Sherbet Fountains were tangy powdered sherbet with a licorice dipping stick. Dipping sugar into sugar has always been popular.

1. Sippers
   Wax Bottles
2. Little Drinkies
   Soda Pops

Wax was the big thing back in the days before plastic took over the world. If you needed a quick refresher, Wax Bottles were basically a sip of colored syrup encased in wax. If you were bored, you could chew the bottles.

1. Jolly Ranchers
   Jelly Nougats
2. Mornies
   Gummy Cremes

If you hate those little black and orange candies that are passed out around Halloween, you will probably hate Jelly Nougats. They are basically soft candies with jellied fruits in them ... so yeah, a bite-sized fruit cake.

1. Chuckles
   Dots
2. Dippers
   Spots

Chuckles aren't quite taffy and they aren't quite gummy; they are jellied. These little sweet treats made people happy as they were full of flavor and covered in sugar. They were the very definition of candy.

1. Charms
   Jolly Ranchers
2. Now and Laters
   Life Savers

Somewhere between a Life Saver and a Jolly Rancher is a Charm. They were full of flavor (though the pineapple ones were an acquired taste), and full of sugar. Each square was individually wrapped, so they wouldn't stick together when they melted in the sun.

1. Applehead
   Grapehead
2. Limehead
   Cherryhead

If you remember the interesting texture of a Lemonhead, you probably know exactly what Cherryheads feel like in your mouth. There was actually an entire line of "-head" candies, including Appleheads and Grapeheads.

1. Idaho Spuds
   Whoppers
2. Goobers
   Boston Baked Beans

Boston Baked Beans sound very close to a side with your barbecue meal, but they are actually candy. They're made from peanuts coated in a reddish-brown candy shell, and they were interesting, to say the least.

1. Strawberry Chews
   Chewsies
2. Strawberry Bon Bons
   Berries

Most kids simply called these Strawberry Candies. They were an excellent way to get some sugar in you (whether or not you needed it), and they had a very interesting flavor ... it wasn't quite strawberry, but it wasn't quite sugar.

1. Dots
   Goobers
2. Boston Baked Beans
   Raisinettes

Chocolate covered peanuts are super popular (even today), so Nestle decided to bag 'em up and give the world exactly what it wanted. Goobers were a little bit salty, and a lotta bit sweet, and they were amazing.

1. Baby Ruth
   Pay Day
2. Oh Henry!
   Charleston Chew

Oh Henry! bars were very much like smaller versions of Baby Ruth bars (except they are far superior). They aren't too sweet, but they give you the perfect mix of chewy and crunchy all at the same time.

1. Candy Necklaces
   Wearable Candies
2. String Candies
   Rock Candy

A bunch of formed sugar hanging from an elastic string ... who could ask for more? Of course, by the time you finished eating it, the drool on the elastic made a very sticky mess for everyone.

1. Now and Later
   Kits Taffy
2. Caramels
   Mamba

Don't let the plain packaging fool you. These little chunks of chew have a mild and sweet flavor and give you hours of taffy chewing. It's not recommended for people with fillings, though.

1. Zero
   Sugar Daddies
2. Chick-O-Stick Nuggets
   Peanut Butter Bars

Chick-O-Sticks basically taste like the inside of a Butterfinger bar with toasted coconut on top. They're definitely a little sweeter, but if you're looking for something that isn't chocolaty, they hit the spot.

1. Now and Laters
   Jolly Ranchers
2. Cherry Chews
   Chupa Chups Whistle Pops

Everyone has had a sucker before, but have you had a sucker that was a whistle as well? If you have, you most likely have experienced Chupa Chups Whistle Pops ... and your childhood was awesome.

1. Cry Baby Extra Sour Gumballs
   Warheads
2. Lemon Gums
   Chewballs

Sour is an interesting flavor for children to have. It puckers your lips and hits the sides of your jaw in a terrible way, but for some reason, we keep coming back. That's why they created Cry Baby Extra Sour Gumballs.

1. Sweetarts
   Smarties
2. Necco Wafers
   Jolly Ranchers

The white ones were the best. This simple, chalky candy has stood the test of time ... giving us years of happiness and sugar rushes. They might not be as common as they were 30 years ago, but you can still catch them from time to time.

1. Sweet Lollies
   Tart Lollies
2. Double Lollies
   Space Lollies

Double Lollies are like the suckers you might remember. They have the consistency of Sweetarts as they are a little bit chalky. As far as flavors are concerned, you can barely tell the difference from pop to pop, unless you have an insane pallet.

1. Sugar Daddy
   Sugar Baby
2. Milky Way
   Slo Poke

They don't call it a Slo Poke for nothing. This hard caramel candy is meant to be sucked on slowly. Don't bite into it, or you may leave a few teeth behind. It's a delicious sugary treat, but adults like it more than children.

1. Wafer Cones
   Wonka's Creme Cones
2. Brach's Ice Cones
   Yum Yum Marshmallow Candy Ice Cream Cones

An ice cream cone filled with marshmallow? Sign us up! This is a candy that was created for parents who didn't want to deal with dribbling ice cream messes. Additionally, it was great for children with sensitive teeth.

1. Sno Caps
   Goobers
2. Raisinets
   Butterfinger BBs

Raisinets were a simple little candy. They were just chocolate covered raisins, but they were sweet and delicious. You can still find Raisinets from time to time, but they are becoming more difficult to spot in checkout lines.

1. Twizzlers
   Red Vines
2. Licorice Laces
   Licorice Wands

There are two kinds of people in the world: Red Vine people and Twizzlers people. Red Vines can be spotted from a mile away. They don't have the sheen that Twizzlers have, and they have deep grooves in them.

1. Dots
   Gobstoppers
2. Goobers
   Treasures

Dots were a little denser then gummy bears, but they weren't considered hard candies (unless you stumble upon a box from 10 years ago). Their flavor wasn't overpowering, but they left a little to be desired in the juicy category.

1. Laffy Taffy
   AirHeads
2. Charleston Chew
   Kits Taffy

Laffy Taffy took the original taffy recipe and added about 10 more pounds of sugar per square inch. You could also get Laffy Taffys with sprinkles (Oh, and the watermelon ones with candy seeds!).

1. Tootsie Pop
   Blow Pop
2. Super Bubble
   Sweet and Sour Pop

If you were patient enough, you could learn about erosion as you ate your way through a Charm's Blow Pop. However, most children got bored with licking the thing and just bit into it.

1. Doggie Barrels
   Rootie Tooties
2. Root Beer Barrels
   Booties

Both Brach's and Dad's made root beer barrels. This was the kind of candy that would get sharp if you sucked on it long enough. If you bit down on it, it turned into glass shards in your mouth. But it was delicious, so we ate it anyway.

1. 5
   Ice Breakers
2. Altoids
   Fruit Stripe Gum

Fruit Stripe Gum had the best flavor of any gum in all of the world, but there was a catch. That flavor only lasted about 12 seconds. It made kids come back time and again just to be burned by this delicious teaser.

1. Skor
   Chunky
2. Oh Henry!
   Idaho Spud

Idaho Spud candy bars are a regional candy (you can probably guess what region). They are filled with marshmallow and sprinkled with coconut flakes. Sounds like the perfect treat for anyone living in Idaho.

1. Gobstoppers
   Whickets
2. Whoppers
   Pickets

Kids in the 1990s weren't super huge fans of Whoppers ... this is probably because malted shakes and malted milk weren't a common treat back then. However, Whoppers were very popular before that.

1. Boston Baked Beans
   Nut Goodies
2. Chunky
   Moon Pie

Nut Goodies were actually very good. They were nougat and peanuts covered in chocolate. Add a little caramel, and you might have a Snickers bar, but who's keeping score on that anyway?

1. Milk Chocolate Stars
   Morsels
2. Chocolate Chips
   Choco Caps

Milk Chocolate Stars were just that: milk chocolate. Sure, they had a shape to them, but they were basically just intricate Hershey's Kisses that were made by the Brach's candy company.

1. Mallo Cups
   Marsh Cups
2. Marshies
   Hershey's

Mallo Cups were like peanut butter cups, except they were filled with marshmallow fluff and had coconut mixed in with the chocolate ... so they were far superior to any peanut butter cup ever made.
