Throw Back Snacks
Tracey's Candy Shoppe

I don't know about you guys but I surely know since my childhood I've missed all of these classic candies which not only made the best after school snacks, but also acted as the glue which helped shape so many memories with friends, siblings, and neighbors.

Disclaimer: you might want to have some gummy worms ready to nibble on while you read to help the cravings...

1. Wonder Ball!!


Who would've thought that this classic combo of a hollow chocolate ball and color candies would make such a good pairing?

2. Cry Baby TT^TT

While eating this snack I actually enjoyed being called a "Cry Baby." I know I must not be the only one...

3. NERDS NERDS NERDS

Chewy, crunchy, sweet and delicious; these nerds and nerds rope made you the "cool kid" on the play ground that day...

4. Chiclets!

Chewy, ooey, and gooey these 12 little pieces somehow bring me back to a simpler and happier time when my biggest worry was running out!

5. What even were these called?

It is incredible to think that even the sight of these little strawberry drops of heaven instantly sends a smell and taste through my nose and mouth which makes me feel like a kid again. Shout out to my incredible Nana for always having these in the porcelain jar on the coffee table!

6. Choward's Gum

Whoever thought that violet chewing gum would be delicious, was not only strange but brilliant. Thank you to Choward's for keeping it unique and always scrumptious.

7.Pixy Stix!

Even though the amount of sugar came with excessive cavities and sugar rushes, it was worth it every time....well maybe not for mom and dad but for us it was always worth it!

8. Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape!

While the flavor didn't last long, thankfully the amount of gum did...

9.Candy Legos

Not only were these Lego candies fun to eat but they helped pass time by creating Lego homes and all different brilliant Architectural masterpieces.

10. Gumballs!!!

As simple as it is, gum in a ball shape was the coolest thing especially after a long day of grocery shopping with your mom or dad, and you got to crank the magic quarter wheel.

Well I hope you all enjoyed this blast to the past!

Major shout out to Tracey's Candy Shoppe for allowing me to feature all of these delicious candies from their store, if you like what you see please check them out on Main Street in Hackettstown, NJ, 07840.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
