How many of you remember those famous cardboard records on the back of the cereal boxes you had to beg for at the grocery store?

When there are five kids in the house it was a challenge to get those records. One of my brothers took the Haunted Halloween record, my sister took Bobby Sherman and I got… The Archies!!

Aaaah! Sugar… Honey, Honey – You are my candy girl – and you got me wanting you!

Come on! Sing along, you know you know the song!

Aaaah! Honey… Sugar, Sugar – You are my candy girl – and you got me wanting you!


Memories! Bet you have a smile on your face and can't get the song out of your mind… My mission is complete.

Oh I wish I would have kept mine

I had a bunch of those cereal box records and had I kept them, they would have made a collector's set. I always have a problem thinking ahead. I haven't thought about these records in years but the memories of fighting with my sisters over Bobby Sherman came flooding back quite quickly. I wish they would do this type of thing again (for those of us who still have record players - yep, that's me!) Nice post! ~Peace, Mia I'm on Twitter, are you?

~Peace, Mia
