Hot Slut Of The Day!

Banana Now and Later!

I couldn't tell you why I woke up this morning with a level 4 craving for Banana Now and Laters, but for some reason I did. It's probably because my body is craving more healthy fruit, and a Banana Now and Later definitely counts as a 100% fruit item. It doesn't even really taste like a banana. It tastes like a dried square of sugar that a banana farted on once. Banana is still the best Now and Later flavor hands-tongue-and-feet down and if you disagree with me it's obviously because there's something wrong with your palate. Get it fixed and then taste the love for Banana Now and Laters. (Or maybe there's something off with my palate and I'm the gross one. Well, if loving Banana Now and Laters means I have an off palate, then I don't want a right palate.)

I also remember banana-flavored B-B-Bats. They were filling-extracting and cavity inducing taffy lollipops that cost a penny. A good investment because they lasted a long time. Like the Sugar Daddy's: An hour's worth of fun for a nickel.

Banana Now and Laters are the best, and not sure if anyone else on here is OLD and remembers, but they taste just like the "banana" Jell-O Pudding Pops which have since been discontinued. Banana Pudding Pops should be HSOTD. Bring them back, Kraft!

yes!! Banana pudding pops! or the chocolate/banana popsicle you got from the ice cream truck!

banana or green apple now and laters were the best.

Gross, Banana Laffy Taffy MAYBE but never the Now N Laters.

Ah, the Mint flavor is from ancient times, back in the early 1970's, the Nixon epoch.

I don't like bananas, and I hate artificial banana flavoring. Blech. I didn't even know mint Now and Laters existed.

I LOVE banana flavored anything. I pulled out I don't know how many fillings over Banana Now Laters and probably single handedly paid for my dentist's Porsches.

My favorite was banana flavored Wacky Wafers. I read they were actually going to be made again!!!!!

anyone remember Banana Bikes candy? - it was similar, or was that just a Chicago thing? I think the company that made them was Beich's and they prolly thought we were to ignorant to pronounce it right (they were correct) so they called them Bikes ... same wonderful fake banana flavor found nowhere in nature

Banana flavored candy is gross. Might as well eat circus peanuts. I liked the green apple, watermellon and cherry. Then spent an hour extracting it from your teefs.

I think they actually sell it at Rite Aid! But I'm and orange flavored gal all the way!!

I hate bananas with the heat of 1,000 suns, but banana Laffy Taffy? Yeah, I'm there.

Mint Now and Laters were my crack. Childhood obesity, rotten teeth, it was fucking worth it. Rock over London, Rock on Now and Laters!

I grew up in Cincinnati and Now & Laters rule! Just one problem--they dont sell them out here where I live now, in Colorado. Damn!
I loved the cherry/apple combo flavor. I miss my Now & Laters sooooo much. :'(

Well, I'll bet the neighbors are just LOVIN' this!--Mama.

I hated those. All flavors.

----------------------------------------

Me too. I tried to like them cuz they were the "it" candy at the time. Sour apple gave me lockjaw. Nasty.

I hate the taste of real banana but I used to love these (can't eat them now because they'd rip out my dental work) sad

Wow, I've never even heard of these and I'm an American candy aficionado.

Banana is a rank flavour though, except in McDonald's milkshakes.

Went Easter basket shopping for the kids this w/e and I actually bought banana Now and Laters for myself!!
I love them!!!

Also, banana flavored Runts are the best Runts.

Watermelon. Only watermelon.

I used to hang with a lot of black friends when I was 8...they used to call them Nialators. And I would call them that, and my mother would go "what the hell are you saying"? Then I would show her the package and she would yell at me to pronounce them right!

By the way...it's always Apple and Strawberry! Banana always tasted like some Lab Chemical.

M.K. you are whack, Green Apple and Watermelon are the taste of childhood.

LaChaylo's picture

They really were gross, but they were cool and you got excited over them. The kid with the now & laters was the hit of the playground.

PrettyHateMachine's picture

I'll take fruit flavored candy over chocolate any day of the week, but Now and Later's will absolutely destroy your teeth.

I hated those. All flavors.

MinxInSpace's picture

I think I'm the only person who hates Now and Later. I guess it's because I hate taffy plus they all taste virtually the same.

TOPANGA's picture

Sorry,MK but green apple is the greatest Now and Later Flavor of all time. I'm pretty sure that these candies were the source of my childhood cavaties. I ate these and Starburst on a daily basis.

I think I remember grape... possibly watermelon?

You know you've had too many when there's a couple of teeth in it before you swallow.

Dawn Davenport's picture

Yes, grape Now and Laters were the shit! The banana ones tasted like wax to me.

Hekki's picture

The grape are good, too. Neither flavor vaguely resembles the real thing, of course.

Also, when I was eating very "clean" all the time, even a bite of something artificially flavored would make that flavor repeat on me for hours.
