cin-cins or Sen-Sen penny candy?

Wondering if anyone knows what I’m talking about or if these even exist.

Someone I know used to tell me about this candy they would get from a penny candy store in Scranton when they were a kid (in the 60s). The spelling I always made up in my head was cin-cins (cin pronounced like sin). For nostalgia’s sake I tried looking it up to see if I could find them anywhere. However what usually happens is I get redirected to webpages talking about Sen-Sen. I have no idea if this is the same candy or not. The pronunciation of Sen-Sen seems to differ from the candy I was told about which makes me think they are separate things but I could be wrong.

Does anyone have any idea what I’m talking about and if cin-cins were something different than Sen-Sen? It would be very cool if I could find these so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Long shot of long shots... looking for contact lenses today

My teen leaves for a two week trip tomorrow and I find out they need contacts. What are the odds someone has -4.75 and -5.25 lenses (or near enough) they'd be willing to part with. Happy to pay. This is purely a desperation play. Thx.

Best bar or space for World Cup Team USA knockout rounds?

Sadly it looks like due to scheduling the Scranton FIFA fan zone wont feature any Team USA matches unless we are in the Bronze medal game or Final.

Whats the best bar in the area (Scranton, WB, or otherwise) thats gonna have the most World Cup fans for knockout rounds?

Montage Mountain Adult Night Ubering

I will be attending an Adult Night at Montage Mountain this summer. I’m wondering a) is the parking lot a zoo when you’re trying to get your car out of the lot to leave, or b) is uber/lyft active for successful 10pm pickups to get home? Thank you!!
