I remember my one great-uncle that always used to buy me Charms, he told me they were my special candy......I loved those! Teaberry gum and Cloves were other favorites.
Alot of the ones you listed I can still buy here.
Thanks for the memories.

saturday matinee marathon cartoons and serials in the fifties would not have been the same without Boston Baked Beans an JuJuBe's
 
The above link that I recommended is known for putting candy packages together according to decade. It is a fun, silly present.
 
jujubees rocked!!! and i loved rootbeer barrels. and sugar babies. and now and laters!!!

remember the gigantic 3" x 2" squares of bazzoka bubble gum? i wore a lot of that in my hair for most of my childhood.

you can still get mike-n-ike's in the stores here. in fact, they've come out with new fruit flavors.

i remember the commercial about the "Good and Plenty" the little pink and white candies, i bought a box of them very day for only .05 cents and after eating all the candy i turned the box into a whistle.
 
DH and I were talking just the other day about when we were kids and went to the movies, we'd buy something that would last through the whole movie, like Look Bars or Big Hunks or Bit O'Honey. All cost a nickel each.
 
Sky Bars...from the makers of Necco Wafers. And Mary Janes. Black Crows, Hot Tamales and Mexican Hats, too.
