Retro Candy Memories
"I remember going to the town store with my mom when she would get her hair done which was once a week and they had these plastic containers with penny candy. Mom would give me $1 and I would get 100 pieces of candy. I would get the red hot raspberry dollars, squirrels, and strawberry laces. I would get them home and separate them and hide them because I wasnt allowed to eat in my bedroom. I would eat them as I read my Nancy Drew books that my dad would buy me. He took me to the only toy store in town to get one book a month as I finished them. Those were the days." - Deb
"I certainly remember "penny" retro or "nostalgic" candies - you could get a "WHOOOLE BIG BAG" for less than a quarter! (Course waaaay back then, my hands were a lot smaller and the bag looked a lot bigger... lol) My favorites, though, were candy cigarettes that blew out powdered sugar smoke, wax pop bottles, pixie sticks, bottle caps and sweet tarts, anything that had lots of bites that would last a long time. Second favorite candy memory - Pop Rocks... Mom would send market test pkgs. in college survival kits to me for to get "test" results - she forgot it was the mid-70's and psycho-drugs were rampant. Pop Rocks produced some HYSTERICAL results on those unsuspecting fools!!!" -Lynda H., Lewisville, TX
"My fondest memories of childhood retro candy is every Friday when my father would get home from work he'd always get me something "special" as we called it. It usually consisted of a movie at the time I watched over and over, like The Goonies, and a candy bar. My favorites were Twizzlers and that was my TGIF with my sister. Though the candy and movie was appealing to me as a child, the way it made an impact to me was through the love of my dad, who still lives on in my heart." - Sheila R., Scottsdale, AZ
"I am fairly young, at only 21, I love retro candy. Its hard to find old candies that people grew up with. My mom tells of the old candy shops back in the late fifties and sixties. I remember growing up with bottlecaps, razzles,dots and many more. Its great that stores can now pack and ship retro candy. Boy I love candy." - Tim H., West Newfield, ME
"I remember going to the corner drugstore in my hometown with .50 in my pocket and always coming home with a small paper bag full of candy. I loved buying Sugar Babies, BB Bats, Bonamo's Turkish Taffy, Cow Tales and assorted hard candies. Some of the candy that I enjoyed so much as a child has been discontinued, but I am so glad they brought back Bonamo's!!" - Tania J., Bedford, OH
"I was one of the youngest grandchildren in a very large extended family, and we all used to gather together for lunch after church on Sundays at my grandmother's house. My higlight of this Sunday tradition was the "Sunday candy" my grandmother always had ready for us grandchildren. Sometimes it came wrapped in newspaper and taped up in a little bundle and other times it was in a little baggie for each of us. We never knew what we would find.... suckers, taffy, chocolate coins or yummy miniature candy bars... it was always a surprise that was greatly anitcipated. Looking back, I can now see that this was one way that my grandmother had so creatively found to show us that she cared about us and loved us in a time when money was often tight." - Jamie R., Hartwell, GA
"I remember the homemade candy that my dad use to make. He made the best taffy. Also I remember the ribbon candy, it was so good!!!!!" - Julie H., Salem, AR
"I remember sitting in the back seat of the family minivan after grocery shopping trips and relishing whatever candy we got as treats- poprocks, laffy taffy, etc. Now it's called retro!" - Nita N., Mineola, NY
"It makes me sound old, but there was a corner store in the small town that I lived where there was an actual penny-candy display behind glass that contained every awesome candy in the world in these big, see-through jars. Caramels, root beer barrels, peppermints, etc. I used to walk a half-mile to get to that candy store and 50 cents would fill up a small, brown paper bag to the rim." - William D., Bassett, VA
"I grew up in a family of five children. We all loved our candy! But I had my favorites and still do. Chico sticks and Teaberry gum, Bazooka grape gum, Turkish taffy Preferably Bonomo's chocolate or vanilla any would do. Cracking that taffy on the sidewalk was always a blast. I bought a wooden container and filled it to the brim with candy. I always saved my money so I could buy a lot at one time the other kids spent theirs right away. I would count my candy pieces everyday to see if they took any. At the end of the week I was still stocked up and if no candy was missing I would share with them. They still talk about it to this day! At times I had as much as 300 pieces of penny candy in my wooden bucket. I decided once to open a candy store in our backyard. Neighborhood kids bought the candy from me. If only I was bright enough at the time to sell it for a profit. But alsas no I sold it for what I paid for it but I had so much fun running my own candy shop. I am still a kid at heart and am always on the prowl for the candy of my youth." - Patricia B., Lambertville, MI
