Do They Still Make T H E S E?

Better than cough drops. Love horehound. And Horlicks Malted Milk Tablets. Remember those?

You actually LIKE those? MAN! I liked the first few seconds of the taste of horehound sticks (with that dusty powdery substance)....but man o man when the REAL taste kicked in! I thought I did something BAD!


Speakinh of "horehond" and being bad, I feel horrible for how we used to treat these twin sisters back in high skool! Yep we used to yell in the halls "run! Here comes the hore - hounds!"

I hope they arent members on a f! No one would remember that except those involved....and I do feel bad. We three became friends before the sr year....but they STILL LOOKED LIKE....

When it came to medicine - the lousier the taste, the better the medicine was for you.
Cod Liver Oil anyone? If it tasted good, it didn't work.

Like, gag me totally with a greezy-spewn! You are right! The nastier the tsste, the better it worked! And codliver oil, thats some NASTY stuff. But I think castor oil, I mean a huge SOOP SPOON worth gotcha best...

These little bites of chocolatey heaven were the SO freakin' good. If you've never tried them, trust me - you're missing out. When I was a kid, almost every convenience store had a plastic tub of these at the check-out counter. They do still make 'em, but they are really hard to find. I've had to resort to ordering them online a couple of times.

ABSOLUTELY! Horehound drops are great.

Google "salt Liquorice and order some of that. It is salted black Liquorice and it takes getting use to. There is, actually, a world of different types of Liquorice out there. Including a carbonated beverage (or once was, someone Google, quick) that was flavored like chocolate Liquorice.

Very nice stuff indeed.

Oh man, loved these. I used to buy them on a "pad"? Sort of like 10 to 12 bits o honeys on a paper slab wheee u could peel one off and pig-out!

Yep, but the individually wrapped are much easier to open (the wax paper inside the bar would get stuck and tear off with the candy) and carry!

Now I want me some BOH. Any form or size. And a large glass of milk.

Trust me on this, a BOH is great with milk. So are malted milk balls, Snickers, Hershey's Kisses, Butterfingers and beef jerkey.

Oh, my bubblebgum post: remember when it seemed that bubblebgum went cheap on us? Regarding "consistency", remember those flat bubble gumn"sheets" that sort of crumble as u bite down? Felt stale?
