Enjoy the Retro Candy Flavors of Yesteryear Today

By Charlotte Broomen

Thinking back on the good ole days of adolescence brings back so many happy thoughts. Tossing the ball in the yard, staying up late at a buddy's house, or even family trips come to mind. One souvenir in particular that brought a smile to my face was reminiscing about when my friends and I would pick out our favorite candies from the local candystore.

Present day sweets just don't seem like they used to. There's something about retro candy that makes us all just grin. Moderncandy are no match to the likes of : Teaberry gum, Necco wafers, Boston Baked Beans, root beer barrels, or Abba Zabba. Every one of these tasty candies reminds us of different happy childhood memories.

Since many of these treats are not available in stores it got me wondering, wouldn't it be fun to celebrate these retro candy favorites? One idea that came to mind was to order lots of old fashioned candy from the internet and throw a party with a nostalgic theme. With the holidays approaching, this could be a great. Not only does candy serve as a great treat and decoration, but also it's the ideal point of interest.

When guests notice some of the candies they haven't had in years they'll have to get a taste. Most have a story of their favorite childhood candy. An alternate way to party with old fashioned candy is to send it as a gift. There are websites that sell old fashioned candy by itself or in bulk that is smartly arranged into a present box. What a good way to send a salutation to a buddy or any one else.

There are some present boxes that have about fifteen different kinds of retro candy that many of us have not seen in ages. The fun part was sampling each retro candy and reminiscing about those times as a kid. Who would not love getting some of their old time faves as a present?

We adore old time candy not only for the memories but because it tastes good too. Young people these days still get a kick out of gum cigarettes, circus peanuts, gold mine gum, or even rock candy.

These are some of many concepts to bring back some great retro candy. No matter your preference of candy it is just plain fun! More than just eating candy, sentimental candy provides stories and entertainment with buddies, kids, neighbors, or collegues. Give it a try and expect a real big smile! - 30241
