Isn't that what they would call the old corn starch candy cigarettes that they used to sell in the little boxes to look like a pack of smokes if they were made by Willy Wonka?  I remember they even had red food coloring on the tips.

David S,

I remember them things, ....I don't know about there in the States, but in the UK, they were made by ''Bassets'' the same people that made ''Liquorice Allsorts''  

I doubt if they are available now mind... hahaha!!

In Canada, they call them "Popeye" cigarettes. As a kid in the 70's, I used to smoke/eat them. :icon_cool: It's still available.

THATS what they were called!!! I was struggling to try to remember what they were called! I used to get them too. I haven't looked for them for years. Me it was as a kid in the '60's. HAHAHA! :icon_cheesygrin: Now I have a memory of making tie-dyed t-shirts and eating those things on a hot summers day when I was a kid! Thanks for sparking that memory for me Chong. Damn I'm getting old!

I even remember a supermarket selling "Popeye" brand spinach.

As a kid, my favorite cartoons were UnderDog, Bugs Bunny, Felix The Cat.

My favorite fighting heros were The Flash & Wonder Woman. When Lynda Carter played her character in the tv series ... Wow Wow Wow !!!

You could actually still buy DVD sets of those Lynda Carter series - all 3 seasons, or just watch online.
