Bottle Caps really take me back. Back to a kid in the 70's. Back to when candy bars were bigger, and only cost 9c at the local candy shop. When we had 4 different stores where we could go and gaze at all the variety of candy to spend our meager allowance on. If you are looking for nostalgia, try bottle caps. They really take you back to when there WERE bottle caps on the actual bottles!

When I saw these available I was delighted, having not seen them in what seems like forever; memories of the General Store (or Kate's Market as it was actually named) came flooding back to me. These were a favorite of mine growing up and I had all but forgotten about them until I stumbled on them recently. To my delight they taste just as I remember them and I was very happy to get them here. I can now keep a healthy supply on hand which goes over well when my oldest friends come visiting. I would offer this caveat though, the bottle caps here are not the same ones found in the movie theater box of bottle caps. The boxed ones are smaller and have a different flavor than the rolls of bottle caps. The rolled caps are the ones I enjoy the best.

I grew up in the mid-70's and 80's eating Bottle Caps, Sweet Tarts, and "Un-Cola" (which was basically the same as Bottle Caps, except they had no Root beer or Cola flavors). Bottle Caps were always my favorite candy, along with Zots and Pop Rocks. Prior to finding them online, I would occasionally find a store that carried them while traveling and I would buy everything they had. Now that I can simply purchase them online, I can get my "fix" anytime I want, which is great. While the wrapper has changed a bit over the years, the candy is exactly the same and they're still just as delicious as they ever were back in the day. I've introduced them to my kids and they love them as well, though I'm trying to impart a little moderation so that they don't spoil their dinner...

a gasp from my past. i can't believe these are still being made. now, i am getting a box every six months. YES!!!! i loved the root beer ones when i was a kid.

One of my favorite types of candy and when ordering in bulk it saves me almost around $20. If you are like me and buy a little candy each time you go to the store then it makes a lot more sense to go ahead and order these two cases.

What's better then a candy store right up the street? Having a candy store in your closet.

Not much else to say except if you like bottle caps and buy them even on a semi regular basis then this is a great deal.
