Oh, the good old days. I wonder what happened to candy cigarettes?

They still exist... they just dropped cigarettes from the title for obvious reasons... they're just called 'Candy Sticks' now, but still in a little box shaped like a cigarette pack. They're one of my favourite sweets, and thankfully, no different (that I can tell) in taste or texture from how they used to be. I bought some relatively recently online for old times sake... and there you can get them by the proverbial carton :
