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

In New Zealand we had Space Man Candy Sticks and the art on the little box is amazing!

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).

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.
