Wax lips
The wax was flavored, like gum. You chewed it and then spit it out, like gum.
The things with the sweet syrup inside were "Pop Bottles". You bit the top off, sucked out the 1/4 ounce of syrup and some chewed the wax and some tossed it out. Sometimes they came in tiny pop bottle carriers and had 4 colors/flavors: yellow, green, orange and red. I'm assuming lemon, lime, orange and cherry. They were called Nik-L-Nips

^^^ Oh yes, now I get it. Remember Now-a-Laters wrapped candies? Still available but smaller. I loved the artificial bright yellow banana flavored.
Known now as 'Anni-hi-lators' as they'll pull any filling out of your teeth!

They can still be found @ Devries in Eastern Mark-up. They're a bit over a nickel, though.

I just thought of another: Pork Rinds!
Better Made makes the best. Just think, parts of the pig are those made from. Yet they are so light and fluffy. Used to love them!
No I'd forgotten! YIKES!
^Sniffles... I knew I was being less than attentive. Glad I've redeemed myself!

When I was young my father used to slaughter 1/2 pig and make "meats" out it... such as Head Cheese... a disgusting European delicacy that I mercifully never sampled.
When we were young my siblings and I used to call it "Pig Jello", and we'd stay a mile away when my parents ate it. I'm sure it's probably not good or you... once you read the ingredients.

I've had 'Hog Head Cheese' as it was called in my neighborhood.
Maybe in early 80's... Never again. Just congealed junk.
I've NEVER had chitterlins [[sp?), never will.
But had my parents made them I would have. But they did not. THANKFULLY!
I always wondered how can you tell when chitterlings are clean.
Like trying to remove quills from a porcupine I would imagine. No way to verify 100%... only hope for clean-er I suppose. No thank you.
Rather than spending hours cleaning hog fecal guts, I prefer slicing and cutting fruit for my juicer.
That's a pain too [[especially the clean up)!! But far healthier results!

I tried them once. They taste worse than they smell. Never again.
Mouth watering Cafe du Monde beignets!
Does anyone make those in Detroit?
I want one/ some now!
I've seen a food truck with Beignets painted on the side parked at Eastern Market before as well as downtown during an event.
