I had them in the '80s definitely, maybe even into the '90s in the US. They're still sold in Japan today (chocobaco or something like that).
I definitely had these growing up in the 90s. Though not as popular, candy stores still sell them today.
I remember eating them in the early 2000s and then them vanishing from nearly ever store. I still see them in candy shops, but rarely and usually tucked away on the bottom shelf. I also remember those thick, bubble gum, cigars.
They’re still sold in the US too, just as “candy sticks.”
“Big League Chew” the bubble gum was also supposed to resemble tobacco chew.
I loved big-league chew and bubble tape when I was growing up.
Edit: and I can't forget Bazooka. Also, shitty trading card pack gum (for nostalgia but not flavor).
They definitely had em in the US in the 90's. I only ever got them from the ice cream man. Never saw them in a store.
