Reel Around in Your Vintage Candy Loves
What's the best retro candy to bring to your next party? Maybe candy history and childhood recollections are what you're seeking. nostalgic candy isn't just for Halloween anymore, although it still is a good time to bring in your treats! Retro candy has taken on a whole new definition in the last few years, and it's easy to see why. The styles have changed dramatically, yet the candy itself has stayed pretty much the same.
Retro candy doesn't necessarily have to be about rock candy or retro candy canes. There are hundreds of different retro candy varieties, from twists on classic sweets to nut-filled gums, to twists on milk-based sweets to apple pops that have been covered in sugar. Vintage is cool, but retro candy variety is even more than that: it's a nostalgic collection of sweet-smelling, vintage candy favorites which can take you right back through the late 20th Century, put you in the car of your dreams (or not, depending on the period), and remind you of all the things you were doing and what you were thinking when you got Pop Rocks, or Twistys, or Krackelms, or Tootsie Rolls, or Skittles, or Maquis, or whatever you can think of. In fact, candy history may seem pretty deep, but the amazing thing is how many people love it still.
Finding retro candy isn't too difficult if you know where to go. Most large candy stores sell candy of one sort or another, and most of them sell a certain type. If they don't, or if you can't find anything at the store you're shopping at, look online. There are sites that specialize in bringing you news of retro candy, and there are sites that will help tell you that candy makers made what kinds. You can also find retro candy at garage sales, flea markets, craft fairs, estate sales, and almost everywhere else, too!
If you've never eaten retro candy before, it can be a strange sensation. Not every bite is the same, nor do they all taste the same. Some candy looks, smells, and tastes different, but can be the same brand from another era. So how do you know which retro candy is for you?
One thing to remember is that some retro candy does have artificial colors and ingredients. These days, candy companies use only natural colorings and flavorings, so when you see retro candy, you can't assume that's the kind that you've been used to. When buying retro candy, look for details that tell you it's the real deal. For example, a gumball tube should have "GRANNY" written on the side - this tells you that it's a gumball tube filled with the classic candy.
Retro candy doesn't have to come in individual pieces. You can get candy bars that you open, melt in your mouth, then drink out of (with your teeth! ). There are retro candy products with different flavors and fillings that you can mix together in different ways, creating new flavors you'll enjoy.
Once you've tried retro candy, you may want to start collecting them as well. It's fun to get a group of sweets you've never tried together before and see how you react to them. You might like some of them more than others. Vintage candies will go back to the taste you remembered as a child, and sometimes you'll fall in love with a particular brand or type. Retro candy nostalgia is fun and unique.
The Internet is a great place to start looking for retro candy. If you're not sure where to start, you can visit your favorite search engine and do a search on retro candy. You can also look at eBay. Another option is to check out vintage candy stores in your area. Many of these stores collect vintage sweets from decades ago, so you can be sure to find retro candy that's a favorite of yours.
