Do you still remember the great snacks in your childhood? Do they remind you of your happy childhood?
Sugar Figure（糖人）
In the old days, you could always find people making sugar figures at the school gate. First, the maker would take a little maltose(麦芽糖）with a small spoon, using his hands to make a figure, such as the Monkey King, the White Dragonet, and so on. It was not expensive, only 1 yuan for one. If one child bought a sugar figure, many other children would crowd around and admire it.
Dada Bubble Gum（泡泡糖）
Almost every kid is fond of bubble gum. They often gather together to see who gets the largest bubble. I still remember my cousin once blew a big bubble and then it broke, covering her face with gum! It was cheap. I could get 2 for 1 yuan.
Baby Face Ice Cream
We prefer to call it snowman ice cream. It tastes very delicious. It was rather expensive; I remember the price was 2 yuan for each piece, which was not easy for me to buy them those days. Each time I got one, the happiness would last for several days.
Malt Sugar Candy
Malt Sugar Candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China, and is offered during the days just before the Spring Festival. It’s delicious but cheap, and you could get five pieces for 1 yuan. My friends and I would get together to enjoy Tangguar. What happy time!
