I have to say my faves were:

Gum:

Black Bart Gum (I think it was only available in Canada, but it was black Licorice flavoured gum)
Rain-Blo
Big League Chew
Gold Rush (in the little cloth bag)
Wacky Pack gum (complete with white powder residue, lol)
Gator Gum (orange flavour)

Candy:
Bonkers Candy
Fun Dip
Belly Buttons
Those multi-coloured sprinkled chocolate dots the size of a nickel.

What are YOUR faves????

    I was obsessed with Razzles. Now that I eat them as an adult, I realize they're really terrible, and they haven't changed much from the original form.
