Yes, they are called Grapeheads. I loved me some Alexander the Grape. I forgot what the cherry ones were called but it had a stereotypical picture of a Chinaman on the box. Those are now called...you guessed it, Cherryheads!

They were called Charlie Chans.....I used to love those. Nothing like palying jacks on a Saturday afternoon and eating penny candy and penny cookies. Remeber the butter cookies shaped like a flower with the hole in the middle? I used to wear them on my pinkies!

I remember getting paddlings in grade school. Now we have to worry about getting shot in school. Very sad, but very true.

^^^ Getting shot meant getting into a water gun fight when it started getting warm. It's a shame that these kids really have to worry about guns in their elementary classrooms.

They were the coolest little accessory when you were having a snack! LOL I still remember Murray Bros. cookies because we ate them so much. Butter were my fave, but chocolate chip were cool, too.

I wonder how many kids play "Red Light, Green Light" or "Mother, May I?" We could play those games for hours....until the mother would decide to keep us moving by baby steps forward only. Talk about messing up a game...

ok how about making "kool-aid" candy...i.e. sneaking your mommy's (or in my case granma's) suger in a sandwich bag, adding a pack or maybe two of kool-aid, shaking it up and eating it straight!!! ...teeth and lips turned colors, hyper as hell all day....I use to sell bags of this in the 5th grade..except David Green got his free cuz I thought he was cute!!!

Anybody remember the plastic charm bracelets? How about wearing the two pairs of socks that matched whatever colored shirt we were wearing? Ladies, how about rockin' the side pony tail!

I loved those plastic charm bracelets and I always wore my side pony tail -w a bang and a head band

But do any of my 90s kids remember two-toned jeans, Diadora (sp?) or Ellesses (sp?) sneakers and Coca-Cola shirts?

[pinkies up]

I do remember the jeans with the zippers on the back and the always attractive bow on the top.
WHY did my mama find a pair of my old MC Hammer pants the other day!!!!!

Nabisco butter cookies....sigh.. they were the best cookies eva!!! Along with Brown Edge Wafer Cookies. How can they let me grow up on those and stop making them!!!! They were the best with Black Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream (Bryers if you will). Now if they take away my Barnum Animal Cookies (in the circus box) we will have a major problem!!!
