Seriously??? I had no idea! All I remember is pretending it was medicine. Didn't you have that Fisher Price doctor's kit when you were a kid? Those candies were a good accompaniment to the doctor's kit! LOL! That's what we used them for when we were kids. "Here, take this and call me in the morning!"<BR/><BR/>On a totally different topic, did you know that we didn't used to get Nestle Crunch here in Canada for the longest time?? I remember every time we went to NY to visit family, we'd always stock up on all the cool cereal and candies that we could only get in the States and not in Canada! LOL! Now that we can get Nestle Crunch here, I hardly ever buy it. Odd.<BR/><BR/>One last thing (I thought this would amuse you...or Jimbo). The word verification for this comment is: <I>vajass</I>.

I am so miffed that the names of those classic childhood candies are on the tip of my tongue!
