If you've got a World Market store near you, they have it. I think outside of the US a couple other companies do too.

It's not seltzer though, it's just clear soda, much to my disappointment

Speaking of forgotten candies, when i was in elementary school only the coolest kids had Mad Candy. It was exactly like Nerds, but it had little Mad comics and the opening was Alfred E. Neumann’s mouth.

I remmeber buying bubble tape all the time It was slightly better than the gum you got in a pack of garbage pale kids but still, not great. The posts about Clearly Canadian reminded me of these.  I remember Orbitz being constantly promoted and given out. I was even on TV trying it out, TWICE. One of the hosts who talked to me about it said "these things are like corn, you're going to see it again".

Was almost traditional for them to sit other bench and dip.

I remember semi-hard candies like this being slightly crunchy but chewable; now valentine heart candies and others like them are practically rock hard and almost break your drat teeth. I'm sure part of it is they're made overseas now and sitting on a container ship for six months ages them, but still.

Yea, I know I saw it in movies before then, but never was told what it was. Why i can only assume is that it wasn't really a thing in Canada. Though Dip got really popular among a certain segment of guys about 10 years ago until relatively recently. Gross.

I saw it a lot more before vaping became popular. It was an socially "acceptable" nicotine delivery when somebody couldn't go out for a smoke break twice an hour, so they just kept an empty pop bottle nearby and spit oily vomit into that a few times a minute.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:I'm in New England and the only place I've seen people dip was in the Army I saw people dip in the parts of Maine that are practically the South. In Vermont a lot of kids still chew ungodly amounts of big league chew during little league games, or at least they did when I left a few years ago. I'll readily admit that Vermont still hasn't moved into the present in a lot of ways, it's still fairly easy to find things like zagnut bars that I haven't seen anywhere else.

IIRC they're the same basic candy as necco wafers. You can tell because they're both terrible.

I'm in an urban part of the midwest and dipped in high school (late 90s/early 2000s) because it was easier to trick store owners into selling it to you than cigarettes, also easier to do at school. I hope it's less popular now.

Sex Hobbit posted:Did someone say Blockbuster snacks?? When I was 20 I was working at a CVS, and I was also a giant stoner. We had like ten crates of these that got marked down to ten cents a piece and I hid all of them under the counter and just bought hundreds and hundreds and would just be high as gently caress at the counter, eating those by the barrelful. They were so weird with the like pop rock things in the middle of the taffy ryonguy posted:Does anybody else think they've changed the recipe for sweet tarts/candy hearts?

I used to love Sweet Tarts but now they're just really hard and lovely. The only candy I can think of that retained the old style are Cry Baby Tears (which I fuckin love and am eating right now).
