like little sugar-coated chews in the shapes of bottles, around the early 90s

root beer and orange were in there too i think

but the internet just looks at me like i'm insane

2/20/2010 5:06:41 PM

2/20/2010 5:07:07 PM

i remember dr. pepper bubble gum

2/20/2010 5:08:22 PM

nah, these things were gummies

also pretty sure there was a cherry coke one in there since it was my favorite

2/20/2010 5:08:36 PM

good, cause bottlecaps suck

2/20/2010 5:09:39 PM

2/20/2010 5:09:55 PM

FUCK YES THE TOP ONES

2/20/2010 5:10:43 PM

I know exactly what you're talking about, they used to have them at Crabtree mall in the little candy shop that was under the escalator in the center of the mall called "Gypsies Candyland", and you could buy them by the pound. They were bottle shaped with like clear gummy near the top 1/4 and the rest was coke colored. I'll try to find a pic

i love you guys so much right now

if you could prevent me from making out with you until this high wears off, why, that'd be swell

I remember when i lived up in PA the convenient store on the corner had these little wax candies that were filled with Coke flavor. You basically bit the top off, drank out the little bit of Coke juice, then threw out the wax. Pretty pointless, but I loved them.

2/20/2010 5:35:07 PM

i remember those from alabama

i never really got the whole wax candy thing

2/20/2010 5:36:13 PM

Here is something similar:



I used to chew the wax like bubble gum, then when I would get about 6 or so chewed up I would mold something out of the wax

2/20/2010 5:37:05 PM

^ Nik-L-Nips?

2/20/2010 5:37:40 PM

2/20/2010 5:44:28 PM

^^ yeah, pretty much the same thing. But these were about twice the size and Coke flavored.

2/20/2010 5:55:05 PM

NOTHING BEATS THE DELICIOUSNESS OF

2/20/2010 9:47:22 PM

my mouth is havin an orgasm at the thought of this

2/20/2010 9:51:20 PM

I picked up some of these from Crabtree one time because my girl friend was craving them

2/20/2010 10:12:19 PM

how do i not know about this sugary goodness?

2/20/2010 10:42:11 PM

HOLY SHIT... had completely forgotten about the GatorGum. That junk would just straight up electrocute yo mouf.

2/21/2010 12:06:19 AM

bottlecaps are awesome

2/21/2010 12:12:25 AM

^ the brown ones were the only ones I cared for, the purple tasted like chalk and the orange was meh



If I forgot any other flavor, they weren't good or bad enough to make an impact on my memory

2/21/2010 11:27:20 AM

i still swear there were green ones and root beer ones

I saw some of these (or ones just like them) when I was in Crabtree about a week ago -- right by the food court in the place that advertises the world's largest gummi bear.
