Throwback Thursday: Can You Identify This?
Here's a fun question for you today: can you identify the picture above? Do you remember this? As a clue, it could be found at a dimestore or a grocery. I always liked it as a child.
I totally don't remember what they are called and I have never had them, but I saw a show once that showed how they were made. It was most interesting!
I totally remember these! Were they called candy buttons? My mom would get them for us as a treat at the candy store if we were good while we went shopping with her.
Candy buttons, what a great childhood memory. My mom worked but always was home when we got home from school, except on Fridays. On that day I got to go to the small market right next door to school and buy a dollar worth of penny candy, while I waited for my Grandmother to pick me up. I always got 50 cents of candy buttons and the rest whatever of other candies. I've gotten some of these a little while ago and they just didn't taste the same. I guess it's the old person taste buds.

ReplyDeleteThanks, all, for visiting! We called this button candy when I was little. I haven't seen it in ages - I wonder if it is still around?!
