I do remember those wax bottles filled with sugar liquid, though not so much as Halloween offerings in my area. When I was a kid in the 1970s, I think most of the common offerings involved chocolate. Mini Reese's pb cups, Almond Joys, Butterfingers, and things like that. Way back then I had a sensitivity to both chocolate and peanuts, so my mother didn't let me eat a lot of that stuff. My brother happily took some. Luckily I outgrew the sensitivity. It used to give me a rash. I think those wax bottles fit into the same category as the flavored powder in the straws, the sugar dots on the paper, and Pez. They also sold candy cigarettes back then. Pretty bad!
Yes I posted some of my art on here Thank you for the compliment! You're amazing at baking, I wish I was as good at baking

There was a little convenience store down the street from where I lived as a kid, they sold candy cigarretts, this was in the eary 2000's, I was around 8 years old, my friend and I used to buy them all the time, I doubt they're sold anymore though. Thankfully I never became a smoker, my mom was a heavy smoker and drinker but I didn't pick up those things despite it being just her and I for my life up until she died when I was 22, never had a good role model in my life.

I love reese's pb cups, they're one of my favorite candies, almond joys too, pretty much anything chocolate I love
