1990’s childhood was awesome! And everybody can actually attest to that. Summer afternoons, spent lazily at home or playing cricket under hot sun, and celebrating the win with the candies- depending on the mood- to try something “adult” or something innovative or maybe plain old candies- one will never have the same childhood as we did way back in 1990s.
How many of these do you remember?
1.Jelly Belly : The juiciest jelly after a herculean task of removing the cover.
2.Flavored Sugar Candies: The cheapest and the yummiest
3.Colored Saunf : Often worked as a 2-in-1 candy- mouth freshener and a candy
4.The most expensive (Rs. 2/-) gum back then
5.Pim Pom Lollipops
6.Blowing the biggest bubbles with Big Babol
7.Ravalgaon Lollipops *Yumm*
8.Kismi- very suggestive
9.Phantom Cigarettes – I still remember my dad scolding the shit out of me, thinking of it as a real cigarette 😛
10.Naka Cookies- The coconut chocolate- (One chocolate I always hated eating)
11.Poppins- The Rainbow Candies- Often referred to with the colors
12.Maha Lacto: The regular caramel flavored toffee- One of the most favorites
13.Boom. .Boom . .Boomer ! The tattoo Chewing gum
14.Center Shock- The most “adventurous” candy 😛
