Marshmallow Cone memories...
Well, I am now 30 years old and would love to share this candy with my children. It's fun to eat and they really do look like real ice cream cones. Of course, if my brother finds out, who is now 27 years old, that I have found a place to get these, we will probably still fight to see who will get the last one. ~ Pamela from Texas I cannot believe these are still made-they bring back so many memories of some more than 50 years back. Me and my friends in our small neighborhood were allowed to walk to the nearby variety store where the selection of penny candy was beyond us all! We probably took a half hour to decide what we had to have. What patience the man behind the counter had to have. We were a bunch of 6 &7 year olds! These ice cream cones were one of my all time favorites! What a treat to have an "ice cream' on the days when the ice cream man and his bell did not make it into our neighborhood. ~ Donna from Mass. The Marshmallow cone has been my favorite treat since I was 4 years old. My fondest memory with the ice cream cones was when I lived in Philadelphia. Every Friday, my two young cousins would come over and we would go to the corner store for some treats. The store owner would always give my cousins and me 5 of the cones for 50 cents and then he would tell us a long story about his childhood. A few years ago I went back to the corner store to see the owner, and a girl in the store told me that he passed away a few months earlier. She asked me what my name was, and told me there was a special package just for me in the office. In the back room, which used to be his office was a box of 200 marshmallow cones with a note "Ashley, I hope you enjoy these they were all I had left to give to you." For that I will always remember the marshmallow cones and the old man's stories. ~ Ashley from New Jersey |
