It might be surprising to a 70 year old that a lot of the candy they remember from childhood is still around. That's becasue it is timeless, and still has an appeal to people of all ages. Necco Wafers were first made in 1901, and are still popular, as are Red Hots candy, that were first made in 1932. A candy that almost every American is familiar with is the Tootsie Roll, which has been around since 1896. Now that might make you feel old! Some great ideas for 70th birthday celebrations to help you pull the party together.
Retro Candy Memories
Cherie N., of Ontario, CA reminisces about her childhood candy memories: "I remember thinking I was finally grown up when my mom let me walk the 5 blocks to the corner grocery/liquor store by myself. She would write a note/list for the owner and give me a few dollars. Then I would give the note to the man at the store and he would help get the items. After I was done paying if there was any money left, I was allowed to use it to buy no more than 5 pieces of candy. Back then there was all kinds of goodness available for a penny. I would stand there and really think hard about what I wanted. Even today just seeing some of the retro candies brings me back in time to the joys of childhood."
