Childhood Flavors

What flavor are you when you were a kid? When I was a younger, my Grandma used to run a small sari-sari store beside our house in the province. Every afternoon, my bro and I would sneak in to grab some goodies from my Lola’s candy jars. Among my favorites are Tarzan, Big Boy, Bazooka, Mighty Mouse, and Tootsie Roll. Tarzan, Big Boy and Bazooka These two bubble gum brands are very popular when I was... read more
