I'm a bit jealous...candy cigs.  I remember the candy cigs that were chewing gum that would blow "smoke".  As for the lips, I thought you were Carly Simon for a minute.

What was disappointing were the candy cigarettes. They were not like the ones that I had growing up with the hollow tube in the middle where the dust was that you could blow

what rat bastard decided to make it their moral obligation to ban those??

Candy cigarettes!  The most deliciously evil of candies! 

Per wikipedia, they are sometimes known as "sugar fags" in the UK  ! 

There's no ban on them in the US, I think the market just dropped out when people turned against smoking.  You can find a number of different brands for sale via the Internet.

I don't remember a hollow tube with dust you could blow.  I didn't have them often, but I seem to remember the ones I had  were just pure solid sugar cylinders.  No real taste to them, it was just the novelty of having something forbidden to kids.  I remember just putting them in my mouth and trying to fool other kids into thinking they were really cigarettes.

Yeah there was a variety where you could blow the smoke out, those were the best ones. You only got one real puff tho and they might have been the bubble gum ones. And don't they knjow it wasn't candy cigarettes that later turned me on to smoking.

It was beer that turned me on to smoking.

uh, and the 2lb box of 70's candy went to my head. It was so much fun looking at all the nostalgic candy from my past. Bottle caps, pop rocks, dots, cinnamon gummy bears, root beer candy...I made a little video about it.

And no it's not a rickroll, although that might be more entertaining..lol

VIDEO

Ever gotten Pop Rocks to make sparks in your mouth?  I seem to recall that you could get some visible light from the reaction if you dumped the whole packet in your mouth in a dark room.  But maybe that's just fond recall.

no, but i do remember doing it with those mint lifesavers. the thing about pop rocks is they never put enough in the bag. and nothing was worse then when i lived overseas and they would all stick together because of the humidity and lose their pop

[Zapranoth]

That was it!  The mint livesavers.

Lessee... I got... a fan for my xbox, iTunes gift card, amazon gift certificate, a bag of Twizzlers, and a few other little things. 

I didn't get the Kiss Kasket or the Ween coloring book, though.  Or that Metallica light plate.  Or the Prince cologne, dammit.

Hey, I got a fan for my stereo receiver! 



Fans must be the "hot" item this year.

[Susan]

I also forgot to mention one of my gifts came in one of these boxes:




The sad part is vs relief of that not being the actual gift i was a little bummed when i lifted the flap and saw the "Gotcha!" written on it, that i wasn't getting a pet feeding docking station after all 

[Mr. DS]

I actually forgot to list that we also received a new food processor and a coffee machine that makes the coffee below.

Seriously, who wouldn't want a Kiss Kasket?
Especially when, according to the band, it could be used as a cooler for party drinks?

I already posted about my new TV


My son got me the complete X-Files collection (all 9 seasons and the first movie).  I got him a disc world book and calendar signed by Terry Pratchett.

I got my daughter a new HP laptop in hopes she'll finally find a grad school to go to and move out.  Got the wife a new heated mattress cover and a digital camera of her own.

I also got two new Hallmark Star Trek ornaments to add to my collection,  the USS Reliant, and a TOS communicator.  My wife also got me 6 new undershirts to replace the ones with the hideous under arm stains.
