TROUBL

1. *SB*

   I had a similar experience in my childhood. I used to save atleast 50 cents from my lunch money so that afterschool i could run across the street to Louie’s corner store and buy some goodies.

   Back then it was all about lemon heads, boston baked beans and push pops.

   The girls always had to make sure they had their ring pops to show off to one another…lmao…even at a young age we were worried about flossin’ some sort of bling!

   Maybe this is specific to my neighborhood but ima share a disgusting snack that the rug-rats at my school and I used to love. We used to buy those huge pickles from the corner store with a kool-aid pack ( preferably some sort of berry flavor). After biting into the savory pickles we used to sprinkle koolaid to mix in with the pickle juice so that each bite was sweet and sour….gross i know but thats what we did and thought it was delicious!!

   Remember the ciggarette gum…the one that was shapped like a ciggarette and when you blew out of it powder would come out to imitate smoke…Im glad they dont have those anymore…but i used to always sneak a couple to act bad…LMAO!!!

   Hoodsnacks is so real.. taking me back.. i’m about to show my age.. i mean, the penny candy was it for me.. what y’all know about the candy store that was in someone’s crib.. i think that was the first official “bodega”.. you saw the pickles in the jar, you copped that.. “nowalatas”.. you copped that.. fish..

   Bazookka gum was the shit, I can remember leaving school on shortened days to walk to the Liquor Store. I wouldn’t spend the change that moms gave me for lunch at lunch time, cause I wanted to go to the store and load up on Bazooka and the long stick Jolly Ranchers. Shit back then you could get a lt of candy for a few bucks.

   We use to also get blow pops, and put the long Jolly Ranchers around them. We just put them in the microwave for like 8 seconds and wrap it around the Blow Pop and it was all good…

   Im with Q, Feeling good just thinkin about it…..

   I remember the banana splits two for a penny. (Showing my age here)
   Bazooka gum was good but kind of hard and the flavor went away to soon. I think my favorite now is gummy bears anything gummy and fruit type candies.

   BIG League chew grape…Honey sticks! How about going to 7-11 and getting a bag of Doritos and putting the chili in it. POP ROCKS and if you mixed it with Pepsi you could blow up a Seagull. All time favorite: Red Kool Aid and Sunflower Seeds.

   Q I feel you on the candy house. The candy house in Double Rock had it all. Top Ramen(with Crystals hot sauce and vinegar) Chili w/rice any candy you wanted. 20oz Pepsi for 75 cents. Ciggarettes, Have a Tampa, Blacks. ANYTHING….

   raw top ramen was the truth. shit wasn’t even candy, but little niggas all-over the place was runnin’ ’round with packages of ramen in they hands and shit. i know i was.

   break the noodles up w/ the seasoning and the chili powder, shake that shit up!? nigga.

   nowuhlatuhs was the shit, too. my personal favorite candy was the fun dips. that shit that came with the dipping stick and the powder — i’d fuck those up by the caseload. would run out of the stick, and would lick my finger and just use that instead like it was nothin’.

   word to me.
