i loved the pretty package! and to me as a child i preferred the square over the round lifesaver...

Still one of my favorites! The outer wrapper, the individual clear wrappers, everything about them, love 'em! I'm thankful I can still get them where I live.

Does anyone remember the coffee-flavored Charms? They were the best tasting coffee candy ever. I haven't seen them in years and would bet Charms stopped making them.

Anybody remember Charms Blow Pop?

These things were dangerous for little kids. I nearly choked to death on one of these suckers when I was 5! No hard candy for little kids! Terrifying.

They were still making these well into the 2000's, but the only place I ever saw them was in the military, a lot of MREs (rations) had them inside.

Tootsie Roll has, and still makes, Charms products. From the Saturday morning cartoon vault, a 60-second TV commercial block. First, Charms Blow Pops, with a man and boy challenging one another to a duel...using the lollipops instead of pistols (the man cheats by biting, so the boy won). Second ad for the square candies, assorted flavors in each 6 to 8-piece roll. This aired on "Here Come the Doubledeckers" over ABC (9/26/70). "Doubledeckers" was a live-action British series that featured about eight (supposedly) orphaned, homeless kids who lived in a retired London bus. While somewhat stereotyping life in the slums of London, ABC-TV ran this as a filler for an otherwise weak Saturday cartoon lineup for the 1970-71 season. The Charms hard candies occasionally are offered, though the initial run ended in 1973.

Charms half sweet/half sour blow pop was amazing! We called them sweet and sour as kids. Charms does make a sweet and sour pop, but its flat. When I was young, they had the blow pop version and I craze these to this day!
