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 |
It's interesting how some children of substance abusers get into the habits, and some don't. You're lucky you chose the latter path. Bipolar disorder certainly pushed me into alcohol abuse, which in turn exacerbated my illness. I'm fine now, though.
I try hard at baking. I love doing it, and practice over the years improved my skills. However, I'm actually more a natural at savory cooking. My sweet baked goods usually taste yummy with good texture, but the appearances aren't first rate, by a stretch. My idea of decorating a cake is sprinkling it with nuts or raspberries. I wouldn't even try to write someone's name with icing. My handwriting was given a "D" in elementary school and would still get that grade today.
Wow! They had the candy cigarettes into the early 2000s? I agree that they're surely no longer sold. As a kid, my favorite candy was Toffifee. They're still around, including in Europe. I also liked the strawberry version of the Charleston Chew. I ate some chocolate, anyway. Now I agree on the Reese's pbs. I can get them in Czechia, but they're not so popular here. Most Czechs don't eat peanut butter, despite eating whole peanuts. They rather lean towards Nutella.
