After some Google-ing, I came across the following thoughts about "Flicks" over at
http://www.etherfarm.com/thalamus/archives/taste/000467.html<<<<<<<<<<
Flicks Chocolate Candys Were Similar To Hersheys Kisses With A More Waxy Texture, But With Plenty Of Chocolate Flavor. Mainly Found At Movie Theatres, They Were Packed In Tubes Covered With Different Colored Foil/Paper Wrapping. No Longer Produced By Ghirardelli, They Will Only Continue To Exist As A Memory, But A Very Fond One At That.

I, for one, was hoping to find that someone still made "Flicks". Fond memories from high school movie dates, eating Flicks. Sigh.
From:
http://www.ghirardelli.comI remember a candy called "Flicks". Do you still make them?
While we recognize many of our consumers remember “Flicks” with a nostalgic fondness, we no longer make the product. When the headquarters of Ghirardelli Chocolate Company moved from Ghirardelli Square to San Leandro, packaging equipment for this product was damaged. This machine was made before World War 1 and since the company that manufactured the machine had long since gone out of business, we were not able to repair the machine. Since that time, we have introduced a line of Chocolate Squares, including four rich, indulgent Chocolate Squares featuring smooth, creamy fillings. We expect these Squares to quickly surpass the legend created by “Flicks”, and garner a fond place in the heart of Ghirardelli consumers.
