It’s 2:00 a.m. These are the very important thoughts (VIT) keeping me awake:
VIT: Remember Ring Pops?
Me: Nope.
VIT: It was this giant candy ring that you would suck on and they would get all sticky and the sugar spit would run down your hand all the way up to your elbow?
Me: I’m sorry, I don’t recall.
VIT: Yeah, and you used to wear a candy necklace with it too.
Me: Doesn’t ring a bell.
VIT: And that wet string would just hang on your neck and you would have that rainbow-spit joker-smile on either side of your cheeks.
Me: …
VIT: …and then you would wear the bracelet sometimes…
Me: OK I REMEMBER! YUCKKKKK!
VIT: ……
VIT: ………
VIT: You were a very sticky child.

I was too cool to eat the candies off my candy necklace. I let the boys do it for me in middle school. God, I was such a little hussy!! 😀

I liked to wear ring pops, but I don’t think I ever actually ate them. Thinking about it now, candy jewelry was gross and probably very unsanitary, lol.

It’s all still out there. The kids still come to school all the time with candy jewelry which is funny because they aren’t allowed bringing candy to school in the first place, healthy snacks only

Hahahah aww that’s cute. Your brain reminding you of your embarrassing childhood xD
I tried ring pops again recently as an “adult” and… it was actually not as good as I remembered.. There’s actually no taste to it!!

Let’s all admit that even though candy jewelry collected dirt and fuzz and God knows what else–we always finished eating them. There. Now we’re all disgusting weirdos together.
