    Blackjacks. A blast from the past. They remind me of the long hot summer of 76. I can still see my friends and i having a picnic surrounded by green fields with pockets full of BlackJacks. Priceless!

    Blackjacks are a unique flavour and take me back to the early 1960s when I was a boy.They are just great.

    im 47 now but blackjacks were 4 for a penny in early seventies and great for taking to saturday morning pictures. i used to mix them with fruit salads, though these were my favs by far. black tongue/teeth so sexy, wonder why the girls wouldnt kiss me?
