Not sure if you're interested, but you can pick those up in bulk candy stories. I actually saw them in Banff a few weeks back.

There's a British themed candy shop in Mackenzie Towne on High Street, right beside the Subway.

Edit: I fail, totally misread your post.

Here's a candy story. When I was 5 or 6 I was eating some Turtles Chocolates. I had a loose tooth at the time, and it ended up getting stuck in the caramel and I ate my tooth.

i remember that, it was so good, I loved going to Chi Chi's in general. I used to always get the taco bowl but wouldn't eat too much of it being so full off the free chips and salsa you were given before the meal.

Why did the restaurant ever close?

I was a dishwasher there, and was fired for eating too many free chips. I don't know why it closed. Too many free chips?

The meals were made in a big assembly line.

Vienetta looks like just normal ice cream but in a wavy form but inside the ice cream are many layers of crispy chocolate that give it a wonderful texture and darker flavor when you bit into it.

I remember buying these in the states a long time ago, along with some other flavours that had juice / syrup in them.

The best type of these was the sour ones that came out later. Am I wrong in remembering the astropops as being the inverse of that pic though? I thought the stick came out the wider side, looking like a christmas tree.

While it's not really gone, it's always a pain in the ass to find some cream soda.
