In so many ways, we really had it good as kids. We had awesome cartoons, excellent (read: awful) fashion, and most of all, really great candy. Am I right? There are so many candies that used to be all over the place that I never see anymore. Of course, there are always the classic candy bars that stick around forever. The weirder stuff might not last as long, but it sure does bring back memories. Here are a few candies (including some disgusting ones) that remind us of being kids.

She also loves cheesy 90s music, and almost died of happiness when Vanilla Ice retweeted her. Once. Follow her on Twitter @garnethenderson.

    Some of these candies are still around! Although I'm not sure if they're expired or not …

    What about Fruit String Things? Am I the only one who remembers them? They defined my childhood in the early 90s. I would do unforgivable things if it meant they would come back.
