Classic Ribbon candy mix at Walgreens!

[HardyGirl]

It's funny, every Christmas I fill my mom's old candy dish, (the same one we had when I was a kid) w/ various candy, but I always think back to that old classic candy mix. Y'know, the stuff that was in every one and their Grandma's candy dish back in the day. Imagine my delight when I spotted this at Walgreens:

On sale 2 bags for $5! Now Mom's classic candy dish will have some classic candy in it this year!

Nice find! I've discovered similar candy at Dollar General stores. The brand is Washburn and it seems exactly like what I remember my relatives having in their homes when I was a kid.

If you're after the thin stuff, I've found Sevigny's at Walmart this year.

yep, they had it last year, too. I need to get a bag for Grandma. Its a lot better than the Washburns in the cardboard can.

All I can think of is Cloris Leachman on The Simpsons saying to Bart, "Would you like a piece of ribbon candy?" and pulling it out of the bowl in one large, fused chunk.

Well, that's good to know for future reference.
