I would get these in the early 70's. The straw was like 18" long filled with flavored sugar. What more could you ask for as a kid? I believe the were only 10 cents each at the time. I'm sure the cavities were more expensive.

pixie stix rock. so awesome they leave you with no teeth.

The stuff was like crack for kids...

I was born in 1984, but I remember having these as a kid in the 90's. I think they are still around. haven't had one in what seems like FOREVER! These things were so good, but always gave me a big sugar rush.

Just bought some for my son tonight.... I am a bad Daddy! Lol!!!

When we wanted to be really cool at parties, my dumb friends would snort the Pixie sugar out of one of our girlfriend's cleavage. We thought we were such rock stars. How lame. My middle school actually had a ban on these things in the cafeteria. The teachers thought it encourage drug abuse. I think the really just didn't like how wild we got after all the sugar.

I remember getting these at the concession stand at the ballparks. Back then they were the size of a drinking straw and filled with sugar. There were green, purple, orange, and red to choose from. If you chewed or slobbered on the straw, that sugar would harden up and you'd have to throw it away. Now they come in a plastic Giant Pixy Stick about a foot long and I only find purple & red at the ballparks.
