Giveaway Time!! CLOSED

Okay guys. Ready for another awesome giveaway? Yeah. Yeah you are. I've teamed up with Trident to give away a year's supply of gum to one lucky Coffee and Cashmere reader. That's a year's worth of good breath. Can't go wrong there.

Also, I can't not talk about this- Trident launched an all new campaign called "See What Unfolds," which is totes spontaneous and unexpected collabs of different artists. Such as DJ Steve Aoki and, wait for it.. none other than Duran Duran. Holy moth balls. I wanted to name Adrienne "Rio" after their song. Her daddy must not be as big of a Duran Duran fan as I was, because it didn't fly.

I'm still an 8o's girl with tape decks full of the good good ish. So, just get up off me. Milli Vanilli? Oh yes. Those two guys were the best lip sync-ers of all time, and I've been committed to them since. Everything was neon back in those days and not one single thing hurt. 

So anyways, back to Duran Duran and Steve Aoki's remix. Watch that here.

Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Trident.

Lovett. Some of my favorite collabs of all time are Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, "Empire State of Mind," Queen and David Bowie, "Under Pressure," and Chromeo and Daryl Hall, "I Can't Go for That." Musical geniuses right there, folks.

Sugar High

I was thumbing through one of my magazines and found an article on a book called "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops?" I have wondered that same thing. Glad someone finally wrote about their disappearance. 

I started thinking back to all the candy from my childhood. Whatever happened to all these mouth-watering treasures?!

Pop Rocks. The experiments were endless.

Painterz gum. You know it is legit when there is a z instead of an s. These balls changed your mouth different shades. Always a plus. Maybe.

FruitStripe gum. Flavor lasted for half a minute. But, what a joyous half-minute. And let's not forget to mention those cool tattoos! Lick and stick!

Chiclets. Tiny party in a bag.

Candy Cigarettes. This is imaginative play at it's finest. I always love to see a five year old pretending to smoke a cig.

Candy Buttons. Loved these, but hated the paper that would get stuck on their backs. That defeated the whole purpose of teaching kids to NOT eat paper. 

Black Jack gum. My fav. Licorice flavored, so not for everyone.

Big League Chew. Fun times seeing who could get the most gum in their mouth.

Bubble Jug. Gosh, I used to down one of these at a time. The candy powder was deadly addictive. 

Nik-L-Nip. Waste of wax and whatever the liquid actually was inside. 

What were your favorite candies from way back when?!
