A yummy yummy candy thing. Hard to explain but I'll try- There was a cardboard rectangle and the candy was like in strings and random shapes stuck to the board, and you started eating it by pulling it off. It was like a fruit rollup taste and texture sort of. But much yummier.

I haven't been through the whole thread- has anyone mentioned when we were making bracelets out of telephone wires? The ones with the colored coatings, and we wraped it arpund a center piece. Our school brought in large bunches of it to give out so people wouldn't rip them out of phones and walls. This was mid or late 80's.

I miss friendship pins, threading small beads on and attaching them to our laces.

This reminds me of that toy that looked like this, is had a stick you hold and had 2 triangles attached to it with a ball on each point of the triangle. You banged them together and made a loud clackety clack sound.
What was that called?

Has anyone said slap bracelets yet? Probably around 1990 they became popular?

I haven't read the whole thread, but man, those were weird. 😂 I had 3 and felt so cool when I finally got them!
