Do I Dare . . .
try Flicks again? I saw them at Bed, Bath and Beyond today. I was very tempted to buy a tube. You see, I loved Flicks when I was a kid. They disappeared off the face of the earth mid or late 80's. In the early 70's, when I'd go to the Fox to see a movie (yep, it was a fully, fabulous, functioning movie theater), Flicks was my candy of choice. The foil wrapper called my name. And the chocolate wafers came in a tube, not a box! That was really "cool." Now I'm not sure if I should try them again. Is my memory of them better than the little candies actually are? Will I burst my own bubble if I pop open a tube and try one? I do have such *sweet* memories of Flicks. Do I want to risk ruining that memory? Yes, I will buy a tube. Why? Well, when you have kids, and you have such a fond memory of something, you must try and share that memory with your children. I know in my mind that the kiddo will not "get" how special Flicks are. But my heart tells me I must try to make her understand. I don't want her to miss out on a potentially life changing experience. (yeah, they were that good when I was . . . uh, a kid) Gotta love those simple childhood treasures! 2 comments from 2 users

oh my gosh. I have to go get some! I LOVED those things. I didn't realize they were back, and at bed bath and beyond of all places? I looked at that picture and my mouth watered. posted by

isn't that the truth?? i love sharing with my older son all the things i used to get a kick out of when i was a kid. i even try to teach him things my own mom wouldn't let me do, but i loved to do anyway. like blowing bubbles in my milk, that sort of stuff. i firmly believe that even if our children don't have a taste for what we enjoyed, they'll always remember our sharing of it!
