Do you still remember the great snacks in your childhood? Do they make you think of your happy childhood?
Dada Bubble Gum(泡泡糖)
Almost all the kids like bubble gum. It's fun to eat bubble gum. Kids often get together to see who gets the biggest bubble. I still remember my sister once blew a big bubble and then it broke, covering her face with gum! I usually bought Dada Bubble Gum from the small stores near my home. It was cheap. I could get two for one yuan.
Sugar Figure(糖人)
You could always find people making sugar figures around the school in the old days. First, the maker would take a little maltose(麦芽糖) with a small spoon, using his hands to make figure, such as the Monkey King, the White Dragon, and so on. It was not expensive, only one yuan for one. If one child bought a sugar figure, many other children would come around him and admire it.
Baby Face IceCream
We like to call it snowman icecream better. It tasted very delicious. It was quite expensive. I remember the price was two yuan for each piece. That was not easy for me to buy one piece those days. Each time I got one, the happiness would last for a few days.
Malt Sugar Candy
Malt Sugar Candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China, and people serve it during the days just before the Spring Festival. It's delicious but cheap, and you could get five pieces for one yuan. My friends and I would get together to enjoy Tangguar. What a happy time!
