I loved these when I was a kid— back when I wasn't afraid of breaking my teeth (or of what all that sugar would do to them) and didn't think about what nasty chemicals might possibly be used to create those neon-bright colors! [To see more ABC posts, go here.] |
Me too! Jawbreakers! I got mine in a place like this which was close to my elementary school (both gone now, shop and school, as it was). I liked how the jawbreakers changed colors as you continued sucking on them, except toward the end, when they became crunchable, they were all white. I thought it was ironic that when I reached an age when I could buy all the sweets I could carry I started to avoid sugar like the plague.
ReplyDeleteDid you find these at Ame Ame?
Weren't these fun?? I also liked popsicles that stained your tongue blue, purple, red....
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any for a long time now.
ReplyDeleteGood one for 'J'.
Happy ABCW!
Did not care for these as a kid, but they make a stunning photo. Let's call it eye candy.
ReplyDeleteAppropiate word: Jawbreakers! I remember that I didn't like them when I was a child. However, they are very colourful!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
