Candy

[Basil Fawlty]

Anyone remember the name of the candy that used to come stuck to a long
piece of white paper that looked somewhat like a cash register receipt?
They were little dots and came in different colors lined up in rows on the
paper (pink, green yellow?) they were awful.... weren't they?

My kids just bought some of those!! They love them! I was watching
the local elementary school halloween parade yesterday and a little
girl was dressed up like that candy!! It was cute!

I thought those were called "Dots". The ice cream man still sells them,
I've seen them in among the candy he sells when I'm trying to coax 50/50
bars out of him.

???Come to think of it, our ice cream man still comes around!!! That's
quite an anomoly!
