Lemonheads memories... When
I was a little girl, my mom used to give us each a dollar. We used to
walk a mile to this little gas station called Gainers, that sold penny
candy. Everyone used to use their money to get assorted cadies. I used
my entire dollar to buy Lemonheads. I am older, now, and still wish I
lived close to Gainers. I miss Lemonheads. They are hard to find, now,
and I really am excited to see you carry them. I want my daughter and
son to be able to enjoy the same sweets I did growing up. ~ Angela

I
had a hard time communicating with my grandma, because she did not
speak English. But my grandma loved lemonheads. She always kept them
in a bowl on the shelf. When she got too old to get to the store, I
would buy her a box a couple times a week. Well, she's gone now, but
when ever I buy a box of lemonheads I remember and feel close to her.
~ Mickie from California
Every time I pop a Lemonhead in my mouth, I'm taken back to 5th grade! My teacher,
Mrs. Ryan, had a huge bucket of Lemonheads. She would hand them out as a reward for class participation - sometimes two or three if your
answer was good enough! I remember my friends & I would try not to eat them and put them in the little cubbies on our desks. At the end of
the week, we would compare who had the most Lemonheads! ~ Melody from Maryland
When I was in high school, we had vending machines in one of the hallways. Each day, I would buy a
bag of Lemonheads and secretly eat them during class even though there was a "no eating" rule. I absolutely loved them and didn't think
anyone had noticed that I was eating them every day. I found out that someone had taken notice on Valentine's day.
One of my classmates, Matt, approached me just before I was about to purchase my daily stash. He told
me that he had noticed how much I liked Lemonheads, and that he wanted to do something nice for me for Valentine's day. He handed me a bag,
grinned, and said he hoped I had a nice day.
Of course, that is a strange gift to get for Valentine's day, but it was special to me because it was
my first Valentine's gift ever. I am 31 years old now and have received much more extravagant gifts since that bag of Lemonheads, but I
still have the empty bag he gave me. It's tucked away in my memory book and always brings a smile to my face when I see it. ~ Lisa from
