BENSON’S ÉCLAIR There was a time when Benson’s Eclair ruled the candy scene in local sari-sari stores. It wasn’t just a treat—it was a symbol of being a bit “extra.” While most kids were content with P1 candies, those who had P2 would proudly go for Benson’s. It was soft, chewy, and had a rich toffee-coffee flavor that made it stand out. People even joked about eating it with their pinkies raised—it was that “sosi.” Did you know? Benson’s Eclair was considered a luxury candy for kids back then.
