    Skeleton Candy Puzzle

    Anyone remember these?

    I used to LOVE these things at Halloween time! It was sweet tart like candy that came in assorted interlocking pieces that could be assembled into a skeleton. The stuff came packaged in a little plastic coffin and I remember having a TON of them stashed away somewhere as a child. I haven't seen these things since I was a kid. Anyone have any links, pics, or info that might help me track some down?

    They looked like these new ones, but I'm looking for pics, info and where to purchase the older ones from my childhood. http://www.amazon.com/Scary-Skeleton.../dp/B000IHTQKU

      I crammed whatever I could fit in there!

      I'm looking for the old ones because I remember the coffin being a "normal" color, or at least not neon. Also they were opaque and the new ones are translucent.

        You mean Mr. Bones.

        I loved these things. It was always a bummer when you'd 2 thigh bones instead of a skull.

                  Anyone remember what came in this Mummy case, it's old from around the same time Mr. Bones was out. It says "Topps Chewing Gum INC." on the bottom so I'm sure it was gum, but I can't remember if it was shredded or bone shapes or what and have yall seen any other colors?

                      I liked Mr. Bones for the coffin more than for the candy. I have a red and a yellow one. I never found a black coffin. They make great containers for small items like earrings and teeth.
