Baba Dudu

Baba Dudu is a very hard candy that was made by boiling coconut milk till it darkens and then it is shaped into a round and oval balls and tied into nylons to form a neckpiece. This particular candy was available at every small store in the neighourhood. Back then, this candy is called “Amu doyo” meaning you will lick it till you reach Oyo state because it last longer.

Yale biscuits

The company Yale was a rockstar back the days. Yale at that time produce only our favourite biscuits. Some of their products are Speedy, Fishly, Coconut, Robo, Pepper Snack, shapes (from the name has different shapes and alphabets), Milk Maid etc. These biscuits is what we use to make cake biscuits then especially the Speedy and coconut. FUN FACT: The company Yale is still much in existence and is actively operating in Ibadan among several Cities where it is located.

Ekana asa

Ekana asa also known as Ekana Gowon is a popular candy back in the days. It is made from sugar, shaped into cones and ramp with paper. The candy is pretty cheap and also our go to option when returning from school.

Pako Biscuits

If your teeth is not strong enough don’t near this biscuit but if you are looking for something that will fill your stomach throughout the day and also help save your money (because this biscuit is cheap then) this particular biscuit is your sure bet. Eat this biscuit with water or Eve then you are good too go.

Sibije

This particular snacks then was a banger then. It a small pack that contain chocolate and vanilla mix with three biscuits on top. I’m sure everyone did this that after eating sibije you put your food into the pack to eat from it. If you didn’t do this then you didn’t fully utilize the pack well.

Lolly/Telephone Juice

For those of us that did not have money to buy fan yogo, lolly or telephone juice is our go to option then. Unlike lolly, the telephone juice serve two major purposes the first is as refreshment to water down our food and the other function is that it serve as toy that we can play with then.

Milk Sweet Candy

This candy is in from of a tablet. It very milky and sweet and pretty cheap then.

Goody goody

Who else remember this yummy and soft chocolate with the jingle “Goody goody so goody goody, so chewy chewy”. This chocolate was bae then wonder why they stop producing it.

Okin and Coaster biscuits

You will agree with me that Okin and Coaster biscuits (when coaster biscuits was still coaster biscuits) brought back the memory of our grandmothers and mum. This particular biscuits is what they bought for us especially when our grandmum come visiting.

Banana bubble gums

Gone are those days when people can eat chewing gum and still have sense. This particular chewing gum is one of the best chewing gum then. The wrapper of the chewing gum contain riddles and current affair that people can read and learn from.
