I was born in 1950 and I remember most of our candy was made by my mom and grandma. Fudge and taffey were our favorites. If we did get a chance to buy candy at the store, then Tootsie Rolls were always #1. (I just bought my Halloween candy - and it’s a giant bag of Tootsie Rolls. I didn’t change much!)
[Haha, same here so these candies mention arent reality. Gummies never ate, never will since ingredients are seriously questionable for those awake enough know in now space."]
My dad had his first candy at age 12. In 1944, the military were coming back from ww2 and a soldier gave my dad a Hershey's bar. He also lived on cream of wheat for several years. LOL
Thought I would have seen some of these. Boston baked beans, whoppers, Slo Poke, Beaman clove gum, Chewels gum, Sugar babies, chocolate covered raisins, pecan logs and nougat fruit candy? Does anyone remember the candy bar that had air bubbles in it and either tiny grains of toffee?/sugar? in it? Creamy, airy and crunchy, probably mid 70's to mid 80's? My favorite candy bar. I found a similar one in and english shop in Fl. about 7 yrs ago. It was like it, but not the same.
It’s possible the data is not readily available. Advertising exploded in the 1960s. I’m willing to bet a lot more consumer data was tracked in this Mad Men era compared to previous years.
Swedish fish must have been a regional thing. I was a kid in the 50s and went to the candy shop almost daily. I never heard of Swedish Fish until about 2 years ago. Tootsie rolls and Baby Ruth were at the top. My grandmother made candy, burnt sugar candy and divinity. Good and Plenty were popular in the 50s, they were old hat by the 70s. Tootsie pops which were very popular long before the 70s. I think the research for this video is suspect. Jelly beans were popular decades before Jelly Belly jelly beans. You totally missed penny candy which was a staple for 40s and 50s kids.
The original Mars bar did not have caramel . It was more like an Almond Joy,,but with the nougat instead of coconut filler. Now it is nothing more than a variant of the Snickers bar. The early Whatchmacallit, i seen recall that this too had no caramel when it 1st came out. Caramel was added later. To be honest I preferred the no caramel version. Choco Lite & Rally bars were other ones I liked, so naturally production of both was stopped. Seems like every time a candy co finds out that I like a particular candy, production is immediately stopped or they alter it. So now I am not going to name my current favorite.
Do you have a fact-checker on staff? Adventures of the Gummi Bears WAS a massive hit - in the 1980’s. It premiered in 1985. Wikipedia could have told you that. It was not “broadcast” on the Disney Channel - the Disney Channel was not a broadcaster, it’s a cable channel. They showed reruns of the show in 1991 well after it was a massive hit. (The Gummi Bears Candy by Haribo was also a hit in the 80’s.)
Hershey's Cookies n Cream bars used to have white chocolate in them. They don't anymore, just read the package. To be considered chocolate in the U.S. is has to have coco in it and they don't anymore.
Today's candy is a marketing ploy of diabetic tooth decay garbage, give me the good old days of dirt and sticks with sugar sprinkled on top , and you kids, get off my lawn
@@kazzysenpai5906 my reply was tongue in cheek, my favorite candy is chocolate and those necco wafers were terrible and eaten last every Halloween when I was a boy
You can literally get "Ring Pops" at any gas station, Walmart, Walgreens, and many other places....no need to go to a "speciality candy" store for one 🤣. A little research goes a long way instead of just reading a script.
You can get them at Wallgreens, Target, Mobil, Exxon, Walmart, GAP, CVS\Pharmacy, Bobs, Marshalls, HomeGoods, T.J.Maxx, Whole Foods, Friendly's carvel.
Kids today,wouldn’t know what penny candy is,at the Ben Franklin dime store,their would be about 20 square boxes of candy,like what we would get tossed at parades,a candy bar,in the 70 s 15 cents,now a buck,it’s cheaper,now to buy the bagged candy bars,two fun sized bars are about the size ,of one regular bar,I asked Mars what makes the costs go up,,they said,costs of shipping ,ingredients,making the wrappers,making the candy bars,got to pay the workers that make those goodies!
I’ve never considered chocolate as candy. Chocolate is a multi-dimensional indulgence that’s far more refined. Candy are things like rockets (Smarties in the U.S.), etc..
PopRocks - Mikey was "life cereal" There was a joke that went like this. *did you hear that Mikey died? - no what happened? *they took his (Life) away. Because idiots didn't get the joke, PopRocks became their imagined cause if his fictitious death.
There no way this list is accurate. You’re telling me Nerds Rope was the most popular candy of 1995? I don’t even remember it. Also there’s no way the Hersheys Smphony out sold the Snickers bar in any given year. This is just a list of some candy that came out around a certain time.
9:38. There is NO CHOCOLATE in Reese's Pieces. You need to go to their cups for that... or M&M Peanut Butter. A Reece's Pieces piece consists solely of peanut butter encased in a thin candy shell. No Chocolate.
What was your favorite candy growing up (or even today)?
Mine was Hershey's Crunch Bars and my sisters' were Rolo
Skybar
Twix are so addictive
Reese’s pieces have no chocolate.
Skittles, Starburst, Sourpatch Kids (especially the watermelon 🍉)
1980s represent! Loved me some Ring Pops, Nerds and (obviously) Reese's Piesces.
Remember when Nerds came in the plastic Nerd container? 😀

They started in 1965 the year AFTER I was born, so I understand the feelings.
I used to love the 5th Avenue bar when I was a kid in the '60s.
also: You could still get penny candy in those days. Fireballs were a big favorite.
3 Musketeers has long been my favorite, first produced in 1932 per wiki.
Clicked on this not really expecting much but it was honestly a nice walk through time :) I was born in 2003
My dad had his first candy at age 12. In 1944, the military were coming back from ww2 and a soldier gave my dad a Hershey's bar. He also lived on cream of wheat for several years. LOL
Reese’s Pieces have no chocolate. It’s peanut butter in a candy shell. Reese’s peanut butter cups have chocolate.
Thank you. I'm glad someone set them straight for their obvious confectionary faux pas.
I didn't know the candy we eat were old. Also didn't know some of the candy we come from other places.
I have a penny candy and vintage candy store 10 min down the road from me and they carry almost every candy on this list.
I wasn't aware the years some of these candies went back to. Thanks for info.
the penny candy store in Sharon Ma. has all of this
You didn’t go back far enough for me. I was born in 1950.

I loved Nestle Chunky Bars. Just curious: I saw Big League Chew. Have you covered the equally controversial bubblegum cigar and candy cigarettes?
When I was kid in the 70’s and 80’s, it was mainly Baby Ruth & Snickers for me. Does anyone remember the Reggie Jackson bar?
Candies of the pass are great,they need them back
Wow I never knew twix is that old
I was born in 1959, and didn't know Swedish fish existed until a few years ago.
Same here in the netherlands born in 59 never had swedisch fisch candy
@@astridswart2261 Interesting.
@@duncan5063 Interesting.
I was born in 1971 - Laffy Taffy.
Ever try to chew the WHOLE PACK OF BIG LEAGUE? 😂😀😀 Or the whole Bubble Tape? 😀
Nerds Rope were first introduced in 2001 6 years after 1995.
People born before 1965 :do I exist

Gummys we had in Germany in the late 60's. My youngest kid still loves them
I has a sad that I was born in the fifties and get no candy today. 😥
I can't believe my birthday year's candy was Mentos.
$100,000 Bars were originally called $10,000 Bars. Must have been inflation. 😀
Interesting happy Halloween 🎃 everyone
I'm too old :( , the year I was born happened before your list ;n;
Hershey's Cookies n Cream bars used to have white chocolate in them. They don't anymore, just read the package. To be considered chocolate in the U.S. is has to have coco in it and they don't anymore.
Prior to Starbursts, there was a wax shaped bottle with a tiny amount of "fruit" flavor.
they are still around today Nik-L-Nip is the name
@@hbkx5 Thanks for the info
We used to get necco wafers and violets.
Fudge..my daddy made it all of the time when we could afford the ingredients.
oh so thats what big league chew looks like inside the pack huh? 🤔 i always seen it as a kid but for some reason i never got it.
Today's candy is a marketing ploy of diabetic tooth decay garbage, give me the good old days of dirt and sticks with sugar sprinkled on top , and you kids, get off my lawn
I have signs 🪧 which say no trespassing and no soliciting (aka "GET OFF MY LAWN")
You can have your NECCO Wafers lol

@@phil4208 at least you actually ate them. I always gave them to my grandfather, he liked a lot of the older candies.

Depends on what area you are in. They are not as prominent where I live, usually can only get them at Halloween.
You can get them at
Wallgreens, Target, Mobil,
Exxon, Walmart, GAP,
CVS\Pharmacy, Bobs,
Marshalls, HomeGoods,
T.J.Maxx, Whole Foods,
Friendly's carvel.
I stopped smoking on Skittles... ;-D
Chocolate covered cherries were way too sweet. I can't see how anyone can eat them

Hi Mashed Bring Back Disney Wonderball In The Future
You only went back to 1965!!! What, you don't think older people watch RUclips?
I was born in 1946. Where's my candy?
There is ZERO chocolate in Reese's Pieces...

Why is there no 2009?
you didn't go far enough back

What about 1948? Am I the oldest one here?
what about the 1950's ?
Starting at 1965 leave many out
1947?????
Candy makes me shit.
