A work mate when on a long lunch and brought back candy from yesteryear. Cool, dude!
I got Pop Rocks and Fizzies and Bottle Caps.

There are a couple of places near here where you can still get a malted. But where can you get skybars or chuckles?Evo said:I loved Fizzies! You can still get the chocolate malt balls, I love them. Can you get malted milkshakes anymore? Ice cream shops used to be called "malt shops".

Aha, Phrak typed "when" and it should be "went". Should I ban him?Borek said:It will be completely off topic... Is this a correct English phrase? I can guess what you mean, but I miss predicate in the first part (work mate being a subject).
I already checked that yesteryear doesn't have to mean last year as I thought.
I am not a grammar police, it is that my English fails me. Sometimes I am sure there is a typo, or a word missing, but sometimes I have no idea what is going on. And many times I was told phrases that looked strange to me were perfectly OK.

I used to buy a pack of cigs, maybe a cigar or 2, some big lips and fake fingernails, then ride my bike to the park and swing.QuarkCharmer said:Anyone remember these?

Our ice-cream man used to stock them, but I would be willing to bet that selling these to children is a big no-no now.

Other than getting to school, the primary purpose of my bike was to take me to the 7-11.
I remember the lips. There were other wax things too that were filled with 'juice' but I can't remember what they were.
What were the straw things called that were filled with sweet powder? Was it Pixie Stix? They were good and fun to eat. The straw was made of paper and it would seal up from your saliva and you had to keep opening it by hand. But it was worth the effort.
