These were renamed to Fads at some point. I grew up with the latter.
Without looking at the thumbnail, I was wondering if it’s Fag, Feg, Fig, Fog, Fug, or really F*g.
Yeah I remember eating fags during dinner break at school with my mates, some of my mates like to suck on them and savour it, but I just swalled them quickly so I could have more. And we had to find somewhere secluded to do it so the dinner ladies wouldn’t catch us.

Censoring the title makes the word worse than it is. Change my mind.
Some instances have automod for certain words. OP was just trying to post without getting caught in the filters. Be angry at the instances, not the OP.
I tried posting it uncensored but it doesn’t allow me
Find a new instance. Lemmy.ml is pro-tankie. That alone is a good excuse to jump ship.
Agreed. Also why didn’t OP censor every mention of it in the picture. I’m deeply offended /s
Playtime is the time for Fags ಠᴗಠ
“Going put to smoke a fag” means a VERY different thing in the UK to the US.
As does bumming a fag
I’ve always wanted to go to America and ask to bum a fag haha, quit years ago but I’d happy risk starting again for that.
Fags contain Glucose, lmao
They’re sweet.
I always internally chuckle when my British friend says he’s going out to have a fag.
The ones we had were wrapped in paper and you could blow in one end to make a little sugar/corn starch “smoke cloud” come out.
Thinking it over it’s kinda shocking that we had play cigarettes. Then again David Lynch started smoking at 8.
(Yes, that’s a real, lit cigarette)
I remember, vaguely, that a lake resort my aunt runs (ran?) had something similar, and we aren’t even in a backwater, middle of nowhere area of the US. Candy cigarettes in the 2000s seems insane looking back. Hell, pretty sure one of the last times I was there in the 2010s they still had them for sale.
In Canada it was a slur for religious people but I think that’s gone out of favour and been replaced with the American meaning of gay
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
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.
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!
Popeye up in Canada
I used to, but I haven’t smoked a fag in thirty years.
I hate removed’s, always spreading diseases through people throats
I also hate removeds
