Censoring the title makes the word worse than it is. Change my mind.
I tried posting it uncensored but it doesn’t allow me
Agreed. Also why didn’t OP censor every mention of it in the picture. I’m deeply offended /s
I remember, vaguely, that a lake resort my aunt runs (ran?) had something similar, and we aren’t even in a backwater, middle of nowhere area of the US. Candy cigarettes in the 2000s seems insane looking back. Hell, pretty sure one of the last times I was there in the 2010s they still had them for sale.
In Canada it was a slur for religious people but I think that’s gone out of favour and been replaced with the American meaning of gay
“Going put to smoke a fag” means a VERY different thing in the UK to the US.
The ones we had were wrapped in paper and you could blow in one end to make a little sugar/corn starch “smoke cloud” come out.
I always internally chuckle when my British friend says he’s going out to have a fag.
Fags contain Glucose, lmao
They’re sweet.
Thinking it over it’s kinda shocking that we had play cigarettes. Then again David Lynch started smoking at 8.
(Yes, that’s a real, lit cigarette)
Always reminds me of that clerk’s episode
Candy cigarettes or bubblegum? In the USA candy cigarettes that weren’t bubblegum were a weird white sugar stick with almost no flavor and a red tip. If you’re younger and American they tasted like the sticks in Lik-m-aid/FunDip
Yep, I remember when they stopped calling them candy cigarettes and just changed them to the candy sticks. They also had candy cigars, but I don’t remember trying those myself.

In New Zealand we had Space Man Candy Sticks and the art on the little box is amazing!
Popeye up in Canada
disgusting
They later renamed these to “Fads”
Where they?
Seen em around lately?
I used to, but I haven’t smoked a fag in thirty years.
I hate removed’s, always spreading diseases through people throats
I also hate removeds
I think I remember these. They were a low quality chocolate stick wrapped in paper. I didn’t like them. I think I got that they were preying on kid’s desire to ape adult behaviours but I may be conflating a decade of memories.
I think you’re thinking of a different product - these were white candy sticks made from corn starch and sugar/syrup. Your comment on the behavior is dead on, though!
Maybe so. I don’t remember the packaging half as clearly as I do the crappy chocolate.
