Candy cigarettes are still sold. Most convenienece stores that are a franchise or corporately owned don't carry them. But independant stores (mom and pops) carry them - and they sell!
Lily - I loved my Merlin as well! Took it everywhere for one summer and drove my mom nuts with the beeping.
My Spirograph set must have been different - it didn't have pins. You just held the big circle with one hand and used the other hand to hold the pen.
The only thing I rellay miss is portion sizes. Now, portion sizes are just huge and I miss the days of when a small was small.
