I haven’t seen buttered rum lifesavers in a while.
Certs were everywhere too.
OT: Discontinued snacks you want brought back

Curly Wurly is a very close remake. You can order from places in Europe or some Irish stores.
I've heard about this - but have yet to order them on-line. I really wish they were available in our local grocers.
I think you can get a similar barrel at Walmart, but they are not the originals!
I bought that once. Thought it would last longer than it did. Those things are too easy to snack on
Black cow. Mmmmm . . . .
I recall having one of these bad boys on a school bus in early June 50 years ago, in 1967 or ‘68, on the way to swimming lessons in a neighboring town.
In comments at the first link below, first made in the 1920s, you can see they brought it back in 2011, after 25 years (from what I read somewhere else, or 13 per another site) — but different not as good as the original. I also recall the Purple Cow, the Banana Cow (I think), the texture biting into the Black Cow, and other things described. I tend to gulp down candy too fast. The Black Cow was tasty and would last.
Towards the end of the comments someone describes how a new owner also changed Milk Duds, which, along with Slo Pokes, was also previously made by Holloway’s in Chicago.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw and bought a Black Cow in a mall candy shop a year or two ago. Although tasty, besides the lack of a stick, I thought it wasn’t a whole lot like what I had remembered.
Nice little history here in the comments . . .

You can definitely tell how old people are based on what they’re posting here.
Careful. You’re just jealous that you couldn’t get a Big Chief tablet, and a Purple Cow for a nickel, at Johnny’s Blue & White.
