Travel Back In Time With Retro Sweets

By Michael Parker

In the present time, we are surrounded with so many choices of food and drinks that when we want to gobble up some, we don't even know which one to pick. As time progressed, so did the collection of multitudes of sweets, sodas, chips and so much more. It is exciting to think that whatever it is we may crave for today, it is readily available in the market, in the grocery, the store at the corner and even online!

Whenever we need these foods, they are readily available. We can have them in different sizes, colors and even countries of which they should come from.

With the convenience of delivery systems today such as express mail, we have the chance to sample different food products of places we have never even gone to before. Imagine being able to savor the sweet and tangy mangoes of Asia, the sweet hampers filled of bittersweet chocolates from Africa and even the world-famous cheeses of Europe.

But that's for us children of the new generation. As we partake in nostalgia these amazing products of our time, have we ever wondered how it is during the time of our grandparents? Have we ever shown them these delicious treats we are enjoying now? Will they, too, be nostalgic when they taste the sweetness of our modern treats? Our grandparents are young once. They too went through the same phase we are in today. So what is it like during their time? How are sweets different then from now?

All of these may be answered by our grandparents. We can always ask them what it feels like. We can watch their expressions change as they reminisce wonderful childhood and the memories of a dozen treats from their mother's sweet hampers. Maybe then they can tell us the difference between the sweets we have now and the treats they have then when their bodies were young and nimble. Or we can experience them ourselves. We can try it by indulging in sweet hampers filled with retro sweets. - 30241
