WTF, seriously?

I love that stuff…..help get my wisdom teefs out….. I do my best thinking chewing on that… dang… is nae faer
I’ve seen bags of it at Walmart. Not the same as the big bars though.
mmmm nope not the same but a great fast fix…I better go get me some before they take that away from me too… 🙁
soon I will have nae vices…
Maybe the specialty candy boutiques can import it.
I’ve found candy online to order from the states that we can’t get here anymore. Try that.
don’t the freak lunchbox carry that stuff. I seen all kinds of candy from my day there.

WORST… GRAMMAR… EVER.
lol Hali I know sorry folks but it will probly happen again.
I feel bad for the dentists who are obv. gonna lose a shitload of revenue. That crap is responsible for many an oral accident, my friends.
My dentist asked me how I busted my very painful wisdom through my very tough gums …..I said I bought 2 boxes of the MAC and gnawed until they broke…..I heard each gum snap back within seconds of each other..I was then booked for surgery….LOL…who knew
Life as we known it……………………..it’s……….it’s over.
Gone the way of the “Wig-Wag”.
I know I bought Wig-Wags as a kid, can’t remember what they are tho. I miss the days of a quarter getting you a big ass bag of candy.
Wasn’t it Wig-Wam?
(probably would be considered a racist name now)
I recall them being sort of a soft nougat type thing that was woven like a braid. Does that sound about right? I tried to find them at that colorful candy store downtown but no luck…
Thanks Jammie, just found this link as well:

I used to like those Rainbow Wafers. When I was a kid, I’d pretend they were Holy Communion.
Thanks v-o-r.
I stand corrected – it WAS Wig Wag and it was toffee not nougat.
I swear I remember it being wigwam in NB but I guess I am conflating candy with social studies class.
Wow, I have issues.
This isn’t quite what I recall the wigwam oops wigwag looking like, but it is close.

I do recall it was always rather tough and the chocolate would fall in little chunks off the filling. Kind of like a Charleston Chew.
LOL TTFN Perhaps we can get the Catholic Church to pass out Rainbow Wafers for Gay Pride Week 🙂
Cool, cool – although the black ones might have a Satanic meaning.
I love all the ole candies…..kookoo bars, wigwams… cinnamon toothpicks.. popeye candy sticks..daddy-o lollipops…
