The ice cream man also used to sell candy cigarettes. Like two types, too. They even sold loosies for us poor kids.

I'm 100% serious.

$0.25 a box from our ice cream guy. They'd be powdery from rubbing on each other in the box so you could put one in your mouth and blow out and make a little puff cloud and look cool as fuck

Then we all started smoking

Candy and bubblegum cigarettes. The candy ones were just colored sugar.

Indeed. I remember when the candy ones started coming with a burnt looking end to simulate the cherry of a cig. Right when we were starting to get bored of them they came out with it, huge hit!

Candy stores still sell them.
