Movie Snacks

When I was a kid at the movies With money to purchase a snack, I wouldn’t buy popcorn or bonbons Or Bonomo’s taffy to crack. My favorites were strange, I admit it And ones that I’d never now buy. The first, root beer barrels, were tasty And gave me a soda-like high. The other was Chuckle-like chewies But all of one flavor, in green, Called spearmint leaves, dusted with sugar And part of my movie routine. They’re both still around (Yes, I Googled) But neither’s retained its appeal Though back then, as a kid at the theater, They brought joy during many a reel.
