Kits candy memories... My
introduction to Kits candy came several decades ago at a drive-in
movie (which ought to give you a hint that it was a long time ago!)
when I was about four years old. My brother shared his Kits with me,
and I opened the outside wrapper and scarfed them down, without realizing until too late that each piece
had its own separate wrapper. Oh well, it was dark and I couldn't see
the second wrapper. Rather than risk embarrassment, I ate them,
wrapper and all. Not too bad...even with that little extra serving of
waxed paper! Stella from North Carolina
I remember
KITS candy from when I was a kid growing up in the mid 1950's.. We( my older
sister and myself) used to raid our mamas piggy bank( yes, we got
caught!) we would each take a penny... then we would cut across the
housing project lawn and go to "naughtens" little neighborhood
grocery store and buy "Kits" they were only
one penny but I think we got "four" in the package and we
bought different flavors so we could share.. It is one of my very
favorite childhood memories. Wish I could go back in time. ~

We had a candy
store around the corner from my house. You could still buy candy for a
penny or a nickel. The store owner suggested I buy this candy call
kits-he let me choose the flavor-chocolate. I took off the outside
wrapper to discover it held 4 pieces. I shared them with my friends. I
liked the smooth texture in my mouth. I made sure to always pick up
some kits! ~ Sandy from Florida
I remember the first time I ate Kits candies was when I was a young girl. My friend
Kyle and I went to the local pizzeria and there was a vending machine with candies you could win. I saw the Kits amongst the other candies,
and wanted the Kits because I had never seen them before. I won a banana Kits and it was so good! It was also a surprise that they came in a
package of four! They are still one of my favorite candies. ~ Sarah from California
I remember Kits when I was growing up in the 50's - they were as much a part of going to the movies
on Saturday as the movie itself. They used to be $.05 each so a quarters worth lasted quite a while. My friends and I used to pride
ourselves on unwrapping the individual candy pieces with out tongue and teeth. Finding them outside of the theater was very rare indeed. As
I got older I got smarter and bought some chocolate Kits as I left the theater. They could be hidden very well while I was sitting in
school. ~ Ken from Delaware
