Haha, yea it definitely wasn't the best gum in the world (it didn't keep its flavor long at all), but for some reason, I couldn't get enough of it. I think because it was one of those things that I only got once a year, so in some way it was "special." And when I'd ask anyone about it, they never had a clue what I was talking about. I was the cool kid with the unusual gum.

Everyone who doesn't know what a See's Easter basket is, raise your hand...

Me and my brother always got at least one non-candy item in our baskets. I usually received small stuffed animals, 2 of which I still have to this day... one being a Beanie Baby that I got during that whole craze. I also received the book 'The Velveteen Rabbit' one year.

I remember these! I HATED them.


And I know that I'm on the Loves-Cadbury-eggs/Hates-Peeps team, however, the more people post this picture in this thread...

ETA: Wow, you really can't find a good picture of this candy that tries to show what it looks like on the inside.

This one really didn't help the eggs' case.




ETA again: Ewwww! Cadbury Creme Egg brulee!
