1. Great stuff, and I remember Wonderama, but there...

must have been some other shows it advertised on. All us kids loved the stuff, and constantly found found new ways to crack the stuff.

It wasn't really taffy, and it wasn't at all Turkish, wasn't even a Bonomo family recipe, but legend has it that a nickle's worth of of the stuff would last through a double feature back in the day.

EDIT: LOOK "bras"...well, I've certainly seen 'em...but it's not what I meant... :D

3. I used to love Heath Bars and Bit O'Honey

However, NO WAY would I eat them now -- they would pull the very expensive crowns off of my 44-year-old teeth.

9. Try Skor bars.

They are thinner than Heath bars and they taste better, I think. :hi:
