Vanilla joy for every day
Who could forget the sweet vanilla taste of Duesek? The little sugar gems were a treasure we excitedly bought after school. Their delicate but distinctive taste was able to conjure joy on the face and turn an ordinary day into a festive moment.
Candies full of fruity charm
Fruit roks were among the delicacies that, thanks to their round shape and distinctive taste, have become etched in our memories. Every bite was a little celebration, whether it was an apple, orange or lemon. We owe Roks for moments of joy, when their fruity taste transported us for a moment to a sweet world of fantasy.
A sweet forbidden symbol of the past

Do you remember the chewing gum cigarettes that looked like the real thing? 80s and 90s kids loved them. You took them between your fingers, like real cigarettes, and took a drag—some even released a puff of powder that gave the illusion of smoke. It was a game for adults, but it quickly gained its detractors. Today, these “cigarettes” are banned for understandable reasons, but many remember them with a smile. Who knows if they would even catch on nowadays, but they still have a strong place in the hearts of those who tasted them back then.
A legendary powder that was mainly drunk dry
What about the legendary Vitacit or later Tang? It was a fruit drink that just had to be mixed with water. But the children preferred to pour the colored powder directly into their mouths, where it fizzed and bubbled. Or on the hand, from which they gradually licked the powder. If you’ve just had a craving for this retro wonder, you’re in luck, powdered fruit drinks are still available.

Ah, sweets! The delightful little nuggets of joy that magically transported us back to simpler times—times when our biggest dilemma was whether to have strawberry or orange-flavored candy. Now, as I channel the essence of Jimmy Carr, Rowan Atkinson, Ricky Gervais, and Lee Evans, let’s dive into the delectable nostalgia of childhood sweets from the article. Buckle up, folks; it’s about to get sugary!
WHO WOULDN’T WANT TO REVISIT THEIR CHILDHOOD—SWEETS STYLE?
Now, let’s face it. Who among us hasn’t daydreamed of being a child again? (With all the nostalgia, of course, not the homework!) Back when the hardest decision was whether to sneak into the kitchen for a midnight snack or sleep in. Today, we reminisce about the sweets that brought us joy, and just to clarify: it wasn’t just the wrappers they came in that were colorful!
The writer teases us with a collection of ten ‘unforgettable sweets,’ and I can’t help but wonder—how many of these will you recognize? Speaking of recognition, if your memory is anything like mine, you might need a backup memory, or perhaps even a time machine!
VANILLA JOY FOR EVERY DAY
Ah, Duesek. Those sweet little sugar gems that were practically childhood currency. I tell you, getting a Duesek after school was like winning the lottery, but without all the paperwork and public scrutiny. It had a taste so delicate yet distinctive that it could turn a mundane weekday into a sugary fiesta. I mean, if it came with a piñata, I wouldn’t have been surprised!
CANDIES FULL OF FRUITY CHARM
And then we had Fruit Roks, the spherical delights that were like miniature orbs of happiness. They were the candy equivalent of getting a high-five from your favorite celebrity. Nothing said “holiday” like stuffing your pockets with these little beauties and pretending for a second that you were living on some lavish tropical island—until your parents came home with broccoli! Cue the sad trombone.
A SWEET FORBIDDEN SYMBOL OF THE PAST
Oh, the legendary chewing gum cigarettes! Now there’s a classic. These bad boys were the ultimate childhood rebellion. You could mimic the adults while, at the same time, being blissfully unaware of their actual dangers. Let me tell you, nothing screams “I’m a mature adult” quite like pretending to smoke a piece of gum. The irony is delicious as the gum itself—though I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re trying to impress anyone!
A LEGENDARY POWDER—THE DRUNK DRY TYPE
Next, we have Vitacit, a powdered drink you were supposed to mix with water but nobody did. Sorry, marketing geniuses from the 80s and 90s, but we weren’t having any of that! Who needs hydration when you can feel like a fizzy wizard by pouring colored powder directly into your mouth? The fizzing sensation was truly an experience—one I definitely paid for in my dentist’s office later!
QUIZ TIME, SWEETHEARTS!
As we are reminded, there’s a quiz! Yes, questions about those retro treats you might wish were still available. It’s like a pop quiz on happiness, but I do suggest you have a few sweets on hand. You know, just to jog that memory of yours! Although, it’s a shame they don’t ask how many times you had to hide candy from your siblings. Parental Advisory: This quiz may cause extreme nostalgia and hunger!
The final bit of the article wraps up nicely, inviting friends to see who remembers what. Honestly, I hope we remember more than just the wrappers—because, let’s face it, those memories are the real treasure, right?
In conclusion, whether you were a fan of the sugary gems, fruit-shaped delights, or the rebel chewing gum, this article has brought back memories sweeter than any candy. So, grab your nearest sweet, buckle up for a playful ride down memory lane, and remember, life is short, eat the candy first! And remember, no gum smoking in public!

Vanilla joy for every day
Who could ever forget the unforgettable sweet vanilla essence of Duesek? These charming little sugar gems were a cherished treat, eagerly purchased after school. Their delicate yet recognizable flavor had the magical ability to ignite a smile and transform an ordinary afternoon into a mini celebration.
Candies full of fruity charm
Fruit Roks stood out among the classic candies; with their eye-catching round shape and vibrant flavors, they are forever imprinted in our memories. Each delightful bite felt like an explosion of festivity, whether you chose apple, orange, or lemon. We owe many joyful moments to Roks, as their fruity allure transported us into a whimsical world of sweetness and delight.
A sweet forbidden symbol of the past
Do you remember those chewing gum cigarettes that strikingly resembled the real deal? They were a quintessential indulgence for children of the 80s and 90s. Grasping them between our fingers, we mimicked adults, taking puffs that sometimes released a puff of sugary dust, creating an illusion of smoke. While they were playfully embraced in their day, these “cigarettes” have since been banned for understandable reasons. Yet, they remain vividly cherished in the hearts of many who experienced their unique thrill.
A legendary powder that was mainly drunk dry
What about the legendary Vitacit and its later incarnation, Tang? This fruit-flavored powder beverage required a simple mix with water, yet children preferred the thrill of pouring the colorful powder directly into their mouths, where it fizzed and cracked with excitement. Alternatively, they’d pour it onto their hands, savoring the sugary delight with slow licks. For those who find themselves craving this throwback, there’s good news: powdered fruit drinks are still delightfully accessible today.
