Re: Chicagoisms............
Pretty funny how we all pretty much shared the same TV broadcast memories,regardless of where we were located.. Chicagos Finest Newsmen
With me,it was the Ardmore Pharmacy or Al's Smoke Shop in Villa Park. Those two were candy central all through the 1960's & 70's..Bit-O-Honey,Bottle caps,Sugar Babies and Mr.Freezes etc.If the Blue haired old lady was working the pharmacy counter,you straigtened up & made sure you smiled to get a free pixie stick or sometimes a Balsa wood rubberband propelled airplane.If the beatnick teen with oily hair and soul patch was working at Al's,you could pretty much count on a free candy cigarette w/purchase. Click HERE to obtain some of those sugar memories today.

Re: Chicagoisms............
I'm sure I just saw some Beeman's at a checkout within the past few days. Maybe it's just certain packaging that was discontinued.
Looks like Teaberry is still available though.
