Decorating With Retro Candy
Retro candy isn't just about classic sweets from your childhood: it's also about the styles of candy that made those sweets so fun to begin with. Retro candy is fashion, but retro candy style is much more than that: it's a great collection of sweet, old-school candy favorites which will take you back through the 1950s, remind you of the many ways you played with sugar and nuts when you were a kid, and even spark new memories for the rest of your life like no other memento could. That's because candy has always been a great way to bring people together. And when you think about it in these terms - what could be more basic than a bunch of candy in a candy store?
Candy has long been a social symbol, too. The tradition started in the very beginning of our country, back before mass manufacturing took over - when our forefathers first learned how to prepare candy by hand. They would wrap it in leaves to protect it from insects and then carefully carve images from wax or beeswax into the stick. Back then, candy was not a luxury item that wealthy people could afford, but a simple reward for hard work and the willingness to help out. You might put a man hours of hard work into preparing a simple, single-colored slab of sugar and yeast, and yet if he could get some good, sweet candy in return for all of his effort, he was certain to appreciate it. (That is basically the same concept behind the exchange between workers in the early United States and the Native Americans: they would trade beads for food, tools, utensils, pottery, etc.)
That said, there's one more reason why retro candy is so enduring: candy is just plain fun! Even if you haven't thought about it in quite a while, you might still be enjoying a piece or two of rock candy somewhere in your home. And you can bet that there are quite a few other people out there who have not even heard of the phrase "retro candy." So what is it, exactly? It's candy that looks a lot like the things that you'd find in the past, but which have been "retroified" for contemporary purposes.
Rock candy is made with the same materials and the same ingredients as traditional candy. There are no preservatives, and everything is made with the heart-healthy, natural flavor of sugar. In other words, it's the same sweet substance that you would eat - except in its preservative-free version. And it's even better than you're probably used to. Here are some of the reasons why:
You're in retro mode: Maybe you grew up in an era when candy wasn't so much something you talked about - it was something you hid away in your pockets to hide from your friends. Or maybe you simply grew up knowing that candy was just plain old junk food that you shouldn't even take a bite of (unless you were the star of "That 70s Movie" who could eat anything... er, I mean "ate anything"). Regardless of your personal history with sweets, it's important to recognize the fact that rock candy has a whole new life as a nostalgic commodity. These pieces are perfectly edible, they're easy to reseal (and to replace), and they come in all kinds of fun shapes and styles. Why not bring some rock candy into your next birthday bash?
You're not nostalgic enough: It's entirely possible that you're simply too young for rock candy. It takes some getting used to, after all, if you're never going to use the stuff as a regular treat, then how are you ever going to learn the appeal? But if you're looking to be nostalgic, try something that comes straight out of another era. You can get pieces that look and taste a hundred years old! There's really nothing like learning that the only thing standing between you and a bowl of sugar free popcorn is a box and a few screws.
You're looking for a little extra decoration: Do you have a sweet tooth but lack the space or inclination to actually make a treat? If so, consider making your retro candy wall decoration pieces available to others. Candy companies sell boxes and bags with several different types of candy sold inside, from Lucky Charms to Hershey's kisses to Skittles. This is the best way to satisfy everyone in your family: everyone gets something, even if they don't like the particular candy the most. This is also a great idea if you plan on selling retro candy at a retro candy party.
Do you want to jazz up your retro candy display? What about sprucing up the candy itself? There are candy wall hangings available to buy, including those that feature cars, baseballs, surfing boards, skateboards, surfboards, wine glasses, candy canes, or just about anything else you can imagine. The possibilities are endless! A candy wall mural will surely give your candy wall a whole new look, and you can use it to celebrate any holiday, to commemorate an anniversary, or simply because you love nostalgia.
