I expanded the scope of this newspaper extract to feature the Snirkles candy ad. I don't think I've ever seen an ad for this candy. Who remembers this? Do they still make these? That was a delicious part of my childhood, and, undoubtedly, yours as well.
Definitely remember snirkles. We used to buy them at Ralph's beer depot on Depere street.
ReplyDeleteI had to research Snirkles and found an interesting article that they were made in Pewaukee WI by Howard B. Stark Candy (which was sold to NECCO). The same company also made Slap Stix. Snirkles sounds like a wonderful candy!
