Nine out of ten people like toffees, the tenth one is always lying. - Pinterest

Memories of running to the market to buy some toffees or hassling with parents to give a few coins to buy them for yourself as well as your friend will always be in the heart of the kid born in 90s. You know what they say? Nostalgia is a bad lover! They make you miss the past days so much that you wish to somehow get hold of a time machine and travel back in time, reminiscing those glorious days once again.

WrytIn provides you a golden chance to glance through the lost and forgotten and once again sweep into the benevolent time of childhood through the sweet ride of candies.

Here’s a list of toffees from the 90s which once turned your life sweet:

1. Sugar Candies
It came in colours of either yellow or orange, packed in transparent cellophane papers easily tear able. Cheap but full of fun!

2.Chocolate Eclairs
Covered in Blue-golden rapper, Eclairs were the official toffee to be distributed in schools on birthdays. Available in 50 paise and 1 rupee, remember it sticking on palates?

3.Poppins
Cousins hassling over toffees? Must be Poppins! Tell us your favourite colour.

4.Mango Bite
The slowly savoured mango flavouring toffee was a common favourite. Plus the bright yellow colour could brighten any dark days. Couldn’t they?

5.Hajmola
Who can forget the ‘khatta-chatpata’ flavor of Hajmola? The tangy taste of Imli and the chatpata taste of Aam. Yuuuummm!

6.Big Babool Bubble Gum
The famous chewing gum of the 90s! They marked the competition as to who can blow the biggest bubble. Plus, the free tattoos were just icing on the cake.

7.Jelly Cups
They came in all colours. Available for a few bucks, these jelly cups could be gulped down in one go. The Tequila shots for children!

8.Kismi Bar
Leaving a long elaichi flavour in the mouth, Kismi Bar was the go-to toffee for romantics. A pun on name, and you could end up having or giving a kiss. Even its advertisements exuded romance.

9.Phantom Cigarettes
Remember when you held them like Cruella Deville from the movie The Hundred and One Dalmatians? Although not real cigarettes, but they sure gave the feel. A bit chalky taste, this was the ultimate style statement for kids.

10.Melody
It’s advertisement sure had all of us wondering “Yeh melody itni chocolaty kyun hai?” Do you have an answer now?

11.Guru Chela
Remember the small, chatpati golis packed in packets marked with face of guru and chela within one? Turn and here comes the Guru, turn again and here comes the Chela!

12.Alpenliebe
For as cheap as fifty paise, this toffee gave the ultimate heavenly buttery taste. No wonder our pockets were always filled with these. “Jee Lalchaye, raha na jaaye”, remember?

Are you drooling already? Wanna go back in time? We too. Time moved on fast but childhood will always be sweeter because of these savory candies. Happy reminiscing!
