Bluejays Gummies!
Does anyone else remember them? During my first summer as a counsellor at Camp Selkirk (1992) there was apparently a large donation of candy! Tubs and tubs of "bluejays gummies" (related to the Jays winning the World Series perhaps?!). They were quite yummy, albeit a little stale. I saved an empty container and a couple of extra candy and found them a year or two ago when I was sorting through an old box. I couldn't bare to part with my candy... Here it is... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember the candy being more clear white and clear blue in color!

I still have one! It's green now!
Yes, Sherri - they used to be a bit more blue than that. Wasn't this from 1993 though? I remember Michelle Clarke telling me that she licked the back of one and stuck it to her wall at home. When she tried to remove it, it took the drywall with it! Man, we ate tubs and tubs of those things, didn't we? M & M's were big that year as well - in Hodge Podge Lodge.
Hmmmm, could have been 1993 - I'm not sure!
They definitely were around in 93, the summer I worked at camp. That's pretty nasty that the candy turned brown! I thought they were blue? I dare you to eat it! No, I dare my cousin Tim Robbins to eat it! Back at camp, Tim would eat anything! He was crazy!
Anyone remember the "Tim Do Eat/Tim Don't Eat" list that Beva made up? It was hanging in the kitchen, after Tim ate so much Lake Erie seaweed he made himself sick.... (between that and picking the flies off the flystrips)
That's hilarious! I may have to implement one of those at home! LOL!
My favorite Tim eating items were:
1) the time he filled his french fry ketchup so full of salt that he actually shook. (that can't be good)
2) The time he at the whole hot pepper that Ernie and Norm were making salsa with. I seem to recall him sweating from his eyeballs.
Oooooh I remember the salty fry. That was incredible. I also remember a lot of earthworms.
Tim rocked!
does anyone remember the year back in the early 80's, when the canteen sold white and pink paper that you could actually eat?? It was gross!
Eww, Greg...I remember that edible paper. I was a camper back then. It was awful. Who ever thought of that stuff?
