Hey, how about y'all talk about how cool I was smoking a candy cigarette?

Did it have a painted red end & did powdered sugar blow out when you puffed on it?

Red painted end- yes. Don't remember any powdered sugar blowing out, but I'm not sure I had the puffing technique down-pat. I mostly just sucked on it and then ate it. I bet that made me look less convincing as a cool 10 year old cigarette smoker to the people at the Exxon station. Drat.

Not sure how old you are, I'm a boomer & the candy cigs came wrapped in thin paper & when you puffed on them the sugar blew out. & looked like smoke.

I'm in what is called Gen X. Sounds like my generation's candy cigarettes had become fairly lame. Or I was using them wrong.

I'm amazed at the dark pasts of many childrens rhymes. "Ring around the rosie" is about the black plague. "I'm going down town to smoke my pipe" is about opium dens. And nobody Ever correctly finishes "Eenie meenie mynie moe..."

Tiger, Tim.

umm....not quite. But most of the letters are the same.

Same generation as my daughter (she was born in 1973). I think they started getting rid of all of those 'politically incorrect' products in the 70's.

Mr. Lemons just informed me that our candy cigarettes also produced the white smoke. At least if you used them right. Poor little ten-year-old me. I thought I looked so cool and it turns out I didn't know what I was doing. Mr. Lemons also just informed me that there were bubble gum cigars. I didn't partake in those.
