What is This?

Prompt

I want candy!

I remember the ice cream truck driving down our neighborhood, I would have a mild panic attack every time I faintly heard the familiar song. I’d start screaming through the house about ICE CREAM and GET OUT OF MY WAY, DOG! I'd frantically search for my wallet: a glitter plastic trifold with a velcro closure. It would be plump with coins. I’d open it to find that it was mostly pennies.

When it was finally my turn at the front of the line, I’d turn out my wallet and let the copper coins scatter over the counter, and ask for some sour belts and a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar.

Write about your own favorite childhood candy/snacks.
