I had never heard of Pixy Stix. But I loved it as the prior name, Lik-M-Aid!

Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews are made by the same company that makes marshmallow Peeps.
ERP!
No mention of Whitman's? Or Russell Stover? Well, that's just not nice...(and if you're wondering about my score...I don't care to discuss it, thank you...)
4/10 guessed on most of them. I ate the candy never looked on wrappings to see where it came from.

5 out of 10. A few of these never heard of. All but two I haven't had since a child. Never looked to see where they were made unless its apparent. Love See's candies now. Also mini Milky Way's and a few others.
Oh my! See’s Candies 🤗 My Dad used to get my Mom candies from there in Los Angeles (way back in the day) Lol
