Candy cigarettes or bubblegum? In the USA candy cigarettes that weren't bubblegum were a weird white sugar stick with almost no flavor and a red tip. If you're younger and American they tasted like the sticks in Lik-m-aid/FunDip

Yep, I remember when they stopped calling them candy cigarettes and just changed them to the candy sticks. They also had candy cigars, but I don't remember trying those myself.

Candy cigars were usually bubblegum (at least in the US).

In New Zealand we had Space Man Candy Sticks and the art on the little box is amazing!

I like the taste of the fun dip sticks and the taste of candy cigarettes from when I was a kid :c

Oh no, I might be a beige millennial. Help.
