Partager
Close your eyes. You're 8 years old. You walk into the corner store with $2 in your pocket and leave with a bag full of candy. Those candies are still sold at Jujubes et Chocolats.
Here's our top 10 retro candies that bring back the best childhood memories.
1. Thrills Gum
The gum that tastes like soap. You either love it or hate it, but everyone knows it. A Canadian classic for decades, almost impossible to find anywhere else – but not at our store.
2. Flying Saucers (wafers with candy)
The small rice paper flying saucers filled with sweet candies. This is THE ultimate retro candy, and we still eat them with the same nostalgia as back then.
3. Aniseed Balls
Black and intense – you either love them or hate them. Anise fans know exactly what we mean.
4. Wax Bottles
The small colorful bottles filled with sweet juice. You'd bite off the top, drink the liquid, and chew the wax. An unforgettable childhood ritual.
5. Gobstopper
The multi-layered hard candy that changed color and flavor as you ate it. It could last for hours – and we loved it.
6. Bazooka
The gum with a small comic strip inside. We bought it as much for the comic as for the gum.
7. Push Pop
The lollipop you could close and keep in your pocket. Revolutionary for its time, nostalgic today.
8. Life Savers
The ring-shaped hard candies with fruity flavors. They've crossed generations, from our grandparents to our children.
9. Runts
The small, hard, fruit-shaped candies with intense flavors. We all had our favorites, and we'd sort the bag to save the best for last.
10. Nerds Rope
The gummy rope covered in small, crunchy Nerds. A 90s classic that we never really stopped loving.
