I did the same thing Anon mentioned - put it in a ziploc, then beat it into tiny pieces on the driveway when we got home. Even as a kid, I was grossed out by repeatedly licking a huge jawbreaker.<br /><br />I loved the Warheads too, they were a huge form of currency in the fifth grade! Each flavor had its own value - everyone loved the watermelon ones, but my favorite was black cherry (definitely the sourest)!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174174160717100440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345383431077061384.post-72062536285830953172011-01-22T01:30:38.698-06:002011-01-22T01:30:38.698-06:00Ah, Pixy Stix.

I can't believe I ever got away with eating those. (I'm pretty sure my mom confiscated most of my stash)<br /><br />What about Smarties? Little nuggets of delicious sugar. It was common place in (later) elementary years to dare kids to crush up smarties and snort them. OUCH. <br /><br />Also, did anyone else used to make their own fun dip by mixing a packet of kool-aid with the required sugar and just toting it around in a plastic bag? Disgusting right? All the kids in my school did that.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300175616185052774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345383431077061384.post-47162673368838336672010-08-25T09:23:02.217-05:002010-08-25T09:23:02.217-05:00This is off-topic, but...does anyone remember thos...This is off-topic, but...does anyone remember those pencil holders that looked like little rubber toy dinosaurs with spikey backs?

Those were so popular that we were able to use them as a form of currency for a while before they were banned from school yards permanently.<br /><br />Cady cigarettes were awesome.

Eventually, they were banned at my summer camp, although, we were able to get them from the ice cream man once in a while. Happily, I never believed they were an accurate representation of real cigarettes & never took up smoking later. I'm sure some were less lucky.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381888356747282678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345383431077061384.post-45562804725078978762010-08-23T09:18:57.585-05:002010-08-23T09:18:57.585-05:00LOVE pixy stixs!!!! :)LOVE pixy stixs!!!! :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257352882657911252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345383431077061384.post-89613848610391396792010-08-23T09:09:07.147-05:002010-08-23T09:09:07.147-05:00I remember one of my friends back in elementary sc...I remember one of my friends back in elementary school used to snort pixie sticks. lol.
