Dots memories... My story of Mason Dots goes back forty plus
years. I remember buying Mason Dots in the five cent boxes at the local school stores. Fortunately, we had three local mom and pop stores
around my grade school in Chicago. We did not have to worry about running out of Dots. My favorite Dots were the red ones, and some how,
they were always the least numerous in the box. The red ones were always saved for last.
When I was in the sixth grade, we were able to purchase Dots in larger boxes during certain school
candy sales. I remember there were Dots that may have been called Spice Dots. There were about four or five flavors, and I can still taste
them. The closest candy that comes to mind are Mexican Hats, although the Dots were much softer. I wish they still made the Spice Dot
candies, but I guess I will have to keep them as one of my many favorite childhood memories, and still keep enjoying the original Dots. ~

I was quite the candy lover as a child (not much has changed!) and Dots were my favorite. When I was
6 years old my family moved overseas and Dots were nowhere to be found in the local stores! Every 2 or 3 years when we would come back to
the states for a visit I would raid the candy counters of the supermarket and stock up on my favorites. Dots were always the #1 choice. I
remember seeing the Tropical Dots box for the first time.... I still buy a box of regular Dots every time I am in a convenience store. Can't
resist the chewy fruitiness! ~ Laura from Texas
When we were young, my father
used to take us on bike rides to the "CBS" (the candy-bar-store).
This was nothing more than our local drugstore, but we used the code
name so our Mom wouldn't know we were going to get candy.
I remember this one time my
brother couldn't go, so just my dad and I went. Loving younger
sister that I was, I got my brother some candy, too - a package of
Dots. When I got home, I decided to make a scavenger hunt that would
lead him various places all over the house, and then finally to
where the candy was hid: Taped underneath the toilet seat! When my
brother finally found the candy, he was flattered that I had thought
of him, yet a little grossed out that I had hid it on the toilet. He
still ate the Dots, though! ~ Jenna from Florida
