I'm remembering more stuff now

water beds- my friend had one. It leaked all over her room once and they had to re-do the whole room

lava lamps- much earlier trend

later we had lamps that looked like this
https://www.ebay.com/itm/27272.....86288
They were bumpy and so much fun to run your palms over! Like a hand massage. They came in more simple shapes- like red lips, smiley face, soccer ball I think. Just remembered about them! I want to buy one for my kids now, lol

Groovy girl dolls- they were so ugly!

More old candies:
gum shaped in eggs and came in a carton. Came in different color but most popular was the white speckled
Also really good gum, it was white and pink stripe and came with a jewish themed sticker and speech bubble- like a picture of a kiddush cup cartoon saying "good shabbos" or something. Whoever collect the most different stickers was so lucky.
Those gross jelly citrus fruit theme- half moon shapes- came in orange, green and yellow I think. (think they still make these- why do they always keep the gross candy and discontinue the good ones)
The bright pink and orange wafers with white cream- do they still make these? We loved to break them apart and look at the lattice imprint on the cream.

[quote="chassidisheveib"]Watermelon candy?
Came in a watermelon patter wrapper
It’s hard but easy to chew and very soft inside[/quote

Nope… not those…
the person who called it “meat candy” knew what I was talking about cause yeah I guess it did resemble a steak in a way…

F-l-o-c-ked wallpaper. It means covered with velvety fuzz. Dratted internal censor has an amazingly dirty mind and changed it to " messed up."
