Groovy Candy

I had a package mailed to my nephew/godson in MN. I ordered a really cool mix of "nostalgic" candy from an online proprietor: packages of pop rocks in a special, "I love the 70s" tin; bottle caps; wax bottles; squirrels and mary janes; wax fangs; candy cigarettes; candy buttons; chocolate cigarettes; candy necklaces, etc. He's 6, and he calls me up after opening the package: "Thank you so much Aunt Karen. I love pop rocks but I have never had candy cigarettes before..."

Of course, my sister and her husband are ecstatic over the candy cigarettes - the fake "Lucky Strikes." They think it's a great thing, and that it will bring him the same joy we experienced as kids. Of course, don't forget those great gold coins.
