This is going to be a super fun retro blast from your candy past! You choose the candy but make it something A) your partner will like, B) candy that isn't quite so common these days. Simple as can be. Plus bring back a fond memory. This doesn't need to be expensive let's say $3.00 limit. Intl. partners & newbies welcome Got any ideas? How bout Candy: cigars /cigarettes / lipstick,/ Buttons / Necklaces / Sticks / Lemon Heads / Boston Baked Beans / Chick-o-Sticks / Wax bottles & Lips / Good n Plenty / Necco wafers Gum: Clove / Blackjack / Beeman's / Fruit stripe, Chicklets / Razzles Bars: BUN / Baby Ruth / Clark, etc. you got the idea (A great place to find these little old fashioned goodies is Cracker Barrel.)

lol. In Peru there are some old candies ans sweets, but the retro candies form one country aren't the same in another...

I think it would be exciting to receive retro candy from another country!

I'm in!

I'm from Argentina. I was wondering the same as Tatsu. If it's OK, I'm in too.

Would love to join as I LOVE sweets and snacks but my town(small one) really doesnÂ´t have specialty stores from where to buy retro candy.... :(

everyone is welcome & if it's INTL that in itself would be fun even if it isn't retro. Suzie just look around & see what you might find that is different possibly. The U.S. varies state to state somewhat. Please feel free to join & have fun with it.

Sounds like fun!! Please no black licorice, or anything spicy/cinnamon flavored. I'm also not a huge fan of mango, watermelon, canteloupe, honey dew or apricot flavored candy. You can also check my profile for details!
