Flashback!

Work took me to Covington, GA yesterday. My coworkers and I are famous for our detours, so it was no surprise when we detoured from work and found ourselves at a candy shop. Being on a never ending diet, I was not going to purchase any candy. I was satisfied with just looking around at all the neat and yummy treats this quaint little shop held. That is until I came upon these.......

CANDY CIGARETTES


I didn't think they made these any more! Amazing! I used to love candy cigarettes as a kid, and yesterday was the first time I had seen them in twenty years. Of course, I purchased four packs. You can't be stingey when candy cigarettes are involved! You have to have packs to share! Now if I could just find those new Coconut M&MS, my life would be complete! :)

    I saw those new coconut M&Ms at the Rite Aid on the eastside. :) They were in a basket close to the register.

    Oh my gosh! I loved candy cigarettes when I was little! My mom wouldn't let me have them, but my granddad would sneak them to me :)

    I thought they stopped making those guess not. Coconut m&ms do sound interesting. They also have pb&j m&m's that were released as transformer m&ms that I've been wanting to try.

    Oh wow, I remember these! I thought I was so cool when I would fake puff on them. I also remember gum in the shape of a cigarette.
