Okay, so I'm sure they had Nekko Wafers (spelling?), and those wax soda bottles, and red hots, sugar babies, sugar daddies, and a zillion other delights. Looks very fun. I hope they make a good go of business.

This reminds me of my daughter, whose ambition at age 7 was to run a sweetie shop. Maybe there's money in it after all.
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the theme, Ben, and both photos are great.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I go crazy in this place, too, Ben. Except I think I go further back in time than you do. (:
ReplyDeleteHmm, the good old days of penny candy. What do they call in now 100 penny candy?
ReplyDeleteHa ha - at least - 125 pennies for some items.
