I remember trying this, but I don't remember if it tasted any good. So,probably not.

A lot of the candy and gum from the past is alive and well and can be purchased from The Vermont Country Store.

I know where one of those is!
Where's Nate? He can hook us up with some candies.
I miss Eatmore candy bars. They are still around, but I can no longer eat peanuts. If I'm ever on death row, that will be my last meal. 
There are a lot of vintage candies, etc. still in small runs (don't read too much into that).
If you've ever watched a movie beyond its end (see how I'm tying it together), you know there are 13 million people on the project. Some of them are like us, and they search things out amongst the interwebs, as idle hands are the Devil's pancake or summat.
Give me a valid credit card # and that 3 digit code on the back (Thanks in advance to your mother-in-law) and I can have almost any antiquated confectionary on your front stoop within days.
I still enjoy the Clark's oldschool stick gum on occasion...not the licorice.
This stuff is pretty good. Not an easy find if you're just out salvaging during a zombie apocalypse, though:

I chewed some Teaberry gum this morning! It's still available. Different packaging but the same taste!
I'm a child of the 70's, here's what I recall...
Marathon Bar:
Dynamints!
Wacky Wafers might still be around, but they used to be a lot bigger:
Koogle flavored peanut butter:

Adams still has real sugar...think ChickletsI don't actually like gum and candy made with corn syrup or artificial sweeteners... especially chocolate bars and corn candy which I used to love. I wish some company would realize that much of the public wants real sugar in their gum and candy. Want to go into business?

I really liked Quisp!Quisp Cereal:

Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs cereal
With all the sugar and twice the caffeine
...I know Bob, I've purchased some when I find it...but the availability of just walking in a store here and buying a pack is not in the cards...this and Clove gum were my Gma Denny's favorites....always kept packs in a kitchen cupboard, inside a ceramic mug she'd made...
...these, coz they'd vaporize your tongue...the current ones don't hold a candle...
The current Bonomo Turkish Taffy isn't anything like the original either
I got so excited when they came back, I ordered a box of 24. The taste is different, the texture is different, they were so bad I couldn't even give them out at Halloween - I threw them away
...I had the whole Freakies set!!!!!!....now who da man?!?!....Quisp Cereal:

The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
Marathon bars in the UK were what snickers bars are now, they changed the name in the early 90s. That shaped chocolate bar has always been a curly wurly.I'm a child of the 70's, here's what I recall...
Marathon Bar:
For the Brits here - renaming Opal Fruits as Starburst, and Marathon bars as Snickers, WHY??? grrrrr. I used to love Cadburys Strollers & whole nut Yorkie (in the red wrapper), unfortunately no longer sold. I can even remember the song they used on the Strollers advert:
And my husband is forever going on about these (I cant remember them though) - to the point that whenever we visiting somewhere we haven't been before, he will go in all the sweet shops seeing if they sell anything similar:
Do they still sell Fizzies Drink Tablets, Anise Bears, Root Beer Barrels, Black Jack Taffy and Turkish Taffy?
