Anyone who wants to still get the candy you remember form when you were
younger, here's a web site for them.

Aw gee - I was hoping for the earlier decades...but this site doesn't start
until the 50's.
Fun to look at anyway!

Try Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor web sites.

Hmmmm, that last one didn't highlight. You'll have to cut/paste
into your browser.

I wonder if www.sc.ucla.edu/yarvis-guests/lianne/farrells.html
will work??????

Out local shop has been carrying some candies from
the 30's and 40's. I found VIOLET mints that I had
been searching for....for something like 30 years.

Oh wow. I remember going to Farrell's in San Diego for birthday
parties... Darn, they don't make The Zoo anymore. That was pretty
cool, it had scoops of all the ice cream, with all the toppings, in a
huge metal bowl, with little plastic zoo animals on top of the whipped
cream. Took two young men to carry the silly thing out!

I can also remember when The Pig Trough had a thing that if you could
eat more than one completely, they were all free (my brother could eat
3).

There used to be a place called californiacandies.com that sold some of
the older styles of candy as well. Don''t know if they're still around
or not.
