1. They still sell bubble gum cigars?

I know they do not sell candy cigs anymore!

2. No, they have the candy cigarettes too...

They also have the chocolate and bubble gum cigarettes at the URL above.

...I remember them well, with the little bit of red dye on the end to make them look "lit."

3. The bubblegum cigs were wrapped in a white wax paper

and when you blew on the end a puff of white powder, probably cornstarch, would blow out the end....so you felt more like you were really smoking.
What they should have done was put something in it that sprayed a disgusting odor on your hair and clothes, gave you bad breath and made your teeth yellow ..that would have been more realistic. :shrug:

4. And the powdered sugar in the candy cigs!

So you could blow while they were in your mouth, and it looked like a puff of smoke! :-)

5. Bing, Palmer Candy Company

Cherry creme mound covered in ground peanut chocolate mixture. They are still pretty good but I think they use cheaper ingredients now.

6. That's weird.... I was randomly thinking

about Twin Bings today. They did seem to taste better when I was a kid.
