Remember Hunkys?

Reposted from a 2010 blog post I recently discovered on an archived sites website.

I called my sister (Deborah White Gramling) a few minutes ago after Russ and I got into a conversation about snacks and treats we had as kids. I told him what we called one particular treat, and he said, “You did NOT call it that!” And he laughed.I insisted that we did, but doing a search on the Internet, I didn’t see much support. So, of course, I called my big sis and said,“Picture it: You’re back in the 5th grade. Recess just started. You grab your vinyl and tweed book satchel, dig down in the front pocket where you kept your allowance and lunch money to grab your dime for recess. You walk down the hall, get in line and ask the lunch lady/store keeper for one of those ice cream, covered-in-chocolate, on-a-stick things. What do you tell her you want?”Without hesitating, Debbie said, “A hunky!”I was right!Nutty Buddy, Fudgecicle, Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Hunkys.Those were the days!
