I used to get those. I lit mine. With a zippo. There were cigars too. I liked those better.

“I remember in the olden days, when candy cigarettes were available. Packaged to look like real cigarettes, they were white wintergreen-flavored sticks with a red tip.”
I do too!
You can still get them on the internet.

They have all kinds of old fashioned candy that you don’t see in stores anymore.

Pine needles rolled in toilet paper, called a bum waddo.
Not that I have ever tried it. What about snorting Pixi Stix?

In other news, Children have been found to be making faces and crossing their eyes. Frantic parents fear they will stay that way.
Next week:
Potatoes growing behind dirty ears. Fact or fiction?

As an avid cigar smoker, I’ll admit it started with a Baby Ruth bar.
But seriously...Want a sure way to get kids to DO something, tell them not to.
