1. Whistle Candy

Japan Centre

Whistle Candy, a circular candy with a hole in the middle that comes in different flavors such as Cola and Grape. You’ve probably tried it sometime in your life, if not for anything, simply out of curiosity.

It does take a certain skill to hold the candy in your mouth and blow through the hole, oh the number of times it has popped out of my mouth! However, when you do master it, the Whistle Candy can be an absolute delight!

Where to get them? You can find Whistle Candies at Munch Munch, U Stars at Honestbee, Teck Leong Lee Kee and most other old school provision shops.

2. Push Pop Candy

Candy Time

Back in the day, kids used to pretend the Push Pop Candy was a lipstick, or at least the kids around me did. Alright, maybe it was just me.

A sweet hard candy, the Push Pop Candy or the Ring Pop Candy is almost impossible to find these days. If you do find them, grab them and give it a try with your little ones before they completely vanish!

Where to get them? You can find Push Pop Candies at Munch Much, Teck Leong Lee Kee and at certain old school provision shops.

3. White Rabbit Creamy Candy

AliExpress

I used to hate the White Rabbit Creamy Candy but see, how was I to know the rice paper covering the candy was edible? When my eyes opened to the marvel that was edible candy wrapper, I couldn’t stop eating it.

Did you know that aside from the original vanilla flavour, these days you can also find flavors such as matcha, red bean, chocolate, strawberry and yoghurt?

Where to get them? You can find White Rabbit Creamy Candies at FairPrice, Prime, Munch Munch, Teck Leong Lee Kee and can be easily found at supermarkets, hypermarkets and provision stores.   

4. Fruit Candy Breath Spray

Teck Leong Lee Kee

Boasting flavors such as Watermelon, Grape, Apple and Strawberry, the Fruit Candy Breath Spray jolts the senses with a sour taste with every pump. This strangely addictive mist version of candy is almost obsolete today.

Where to get them? You can find Fruit Candy Breath Spray at RedMart, Teck Leong Lee Kee and at a very few old school provision shops.

5. Bangle/Eyeglass Chocolate Candy

21Food

More fun than yummy, the Bangle/Eyeglass Chocolate Candy is a great tool to be used when pretending to be a doctor or pharmacist prescribing medicine or as an eyeglass, as the name suggests.

6. Treasure Box Chocolate Gold Coin

Chocolate Gold Coins? Indeed that’s a treasure worth having! I bought it for my little niece and she promptly fell in love with it.

This flavoursome snack comes in two flavours—Chicken and BBQ.

A little bit of spicy and sweet, the Satay Fish Sticks are absolute chewy goodness.

12. Little Bobdog Candy

Japan Info

We’ve all probably pretended to smoke with this sweet candy once.

14. Ice Pops

Sweet Paul

Personally, I believe Ice Pops are god’s gift to Singaporeans. This scathing heat is nothing if you have an Ice Pop in your hand and you could get it for just 10 to 20 cents, an unbelievable price in today’s economy.

In case you were wondering, I used to get the plum flavoured Ice Pops.

Where to get them? You can find Ice Pops in certain old school provision shops or you could make them yourself, they’re really easy to make.
