Enjoy the Retro Candy Flavors of Yesteryear Now

By Charlotte Broomen

Harking back to the good old days of our youth brings back a lot happy recollections. Tossing the ball in the park, staying up late at a buddy's house, or maybe family trips spring to mind. One memory in particular that brought a smile to my face was reminiscing about when my buddies and I might pick out our favorite candies from the neighborhood candyshop.

Modern day sweets just don't seem the same. There's something about retro candy that makes us all just smile. Moderncandy are no match to the likes of : Teaberry gum, Necco wafers, Boston Baked Beans, root beer barrels, or Abba Zabba. Each one of these tantalizing candies makes us think of different happy childhood memories.

Because many of these candies are not available in stores it got me thinking, wouldn't it be great to celebrate these retro candy favorites? One idea that came to mind was to buy lots of old fashioned candy from the internet and throw a party with a nostalgic theme. With the holidays approaching, this is going to be a wonderful. Not only does candy function as a great treat and decoration, but also it is the ideal talking point.

When guests notice some of the candies they haven't tasted in years they will have to try some. Everyone seems to have a tale of their favorite childhood candy. Another way to party with nostalgic candy is to send it as a gift. There are websites that sell hard to find candy piece by piece or in bulk that is smartly prepared into a gift box. What a great way to send a salutation to a buddy or anyone else.

There are some gift boxes that have about fifteen different types of retro candy that many of us haven't seen in ages. The fun part was trying each retro candy and remembering those times as a kid. Who would not be thrilled getting some of their old time tops as a present?

We adore old time candy not just for the memories but also because it tastes good too. Young people these days still get excited over gum cigarettes, circus peanuts, gold mine gum, or 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 friends, children, neighbours, or collegues. Give it a try and expect a real large smile! - 29884
