Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Bone

Posted on October 27, 2018 by You Can Always Start Now Posted in Challenges, HomeTagged #SoCS, writing prompts

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around another work week over! Plus the last weekend in October! How did this happen? Time for Linda Hill Stream of Consciousness Saturday! Linda gives us a writing prompt and we just go for it. Hence stream of consciousness. Check her out for more details and writing prompts.

I’m not sure if I am remembering this right so please people shout out if I’m off base! Also I’m thinking in different parts of the world they might be called something different.

Does anyone remember those hard candies with the chewy stuff in the middle called chicken bones? I remember sucking them (only for so long) before starting to break through them. What I also remember is sharp pieces of candy as they broke down. I think they had a bit of a cinnamon taste??? What I’m sure about is that I enjoyed them.

Here is a picture of them – are they familiar? Do you know them by a different name? Would love to know if you remember them. As that is what popped into my head when I thought of bone!

You can always start now!

I’ve only heard them called chicken bones. I remember growing up we always had them in the house, especially at Christmas time:).
