I loved the raspberry.

Or how about Bonkers? The dual-flavor taffy with the hilarious commercials?

Or what about these awesome chips?

Never heard of New York Seltzer, but then I didn't grow up in the state. Bonkers and O'Boisies sound familiar, but I don't recall actually eating either of them.

Sure, I remember New York Seltzer! It was good stuff. I never heard of/had Bonkers. I remember O'Boises, but I don't remember having them.

I remember them all. O'boisies were O'bositerous. I liked the Vanilla Creme NY Seltzer......and don't think I ever ate a Bonker (it's fruit candy - duh!)

We played Jarts all the time and the red tips on those cigarettes - yeah that was cool!

Oh yeah, Jarts, our favorite variation was to stand in the target circle and throw the darts at each other, getting a point if you get your opponent to step out of the circle.

What, you mean that's now how it was meant to be played? Lot more fun, for sure. We got so good with the "regular" game that we had to spice it up a bit. We would stand there for an hour and toss the darts right into the circle. Maybe we weren't far enough away, but then my cousin's lawn wasn't that big.
