RememBear This: Fun Dip
For whatever reason I remember these as a Summertime treat. I picture myself tired from a long Super Soaker battle, sitting on the grass with my back on a tree, the shade barely cooling me down while I lick and dip the candy stick mixing all three flavors. This was such a bad ass candy. I felt like I earned my sugar high, because there was some involvement from my end…. I wasn’t simply just biting a chocolate bar, I earned my keep 
This was probably one of the only “fruity” candies I really enjoyed. I’ve never really been a fan of Jolly Ranchers (though I wouldn’t turn one down) and same goes for Now and Laters.
The only problem with this was that inevitably my fingers would get sticky….which made it difficult to start a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos or Crossfire prior to having to find a spigot or sink. I’ll tell you though, that Wonka is one mad genius (side note: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is my all-time favorite movie).
What’s your favorite thing to dip?
Aaah, Fun Dip. Good stuff. I remember when I was very young, I thought I could make Kool-Aid by mixing the Fun Dip powder with water. It didn’t work, lol.
Now and Laters suck, btw.
1Oh yes, I loved my Fun Dip. But the sticks were so damn hard it’s like I’d crack my teeth on it. (or am I not RememBearing right??)
2@Josie Your right! I RememBear them that way too
3I remember the boys in middle school snorting fun dip on the bus to be “cool.” Ahhhhh adolescence…
4Finally!! Something that even I can remember as a child. Of course we didn’t have Super Soakers back in my day. Instead we just had the good ol’ squirt gun.
I loved Fun-Dip, and still do as a matter of fact. I don’t recall the sticks being all that hard either, but I am sure I ran across one or two that were.
I with Bear. I wasn’t all that big of a fan of Jolly Ranchers or Now and Laters. Of course I would never turn one down, but I never went out of my way to by them. I hated how the paper stuck to the Now and Laters.
5@Raiders: I thought the Now and Laters themselves tasted like paper, lol. They always seemed really bland to me.
6I think the sticks were(are) the best part of it. The hardest part for me was not biting the stick.
