Retro Candy: The Sweet And Sour Taste Of The Old Fashioned Candy
Candy, of course, is retro; but retro candy selections are much more than that: they're a catalog of old-fashioned sweet favorites that can take you back to the early 20th Century, remind you of who you were and what you did when you first got Pop Rocks in your hand. Think of candy from the Depression, lunchroom talk - even your childhood memories will be tied together by a trip to your retro candy store. And what's even better? They're fun, too!
Many of us grew up with popcorn, so we all have favorite retro candy picks. Perhaps your parents always had a special blend of caramel and nuts or perhaps there were the classic peanut butter and jelly pickle. Maybe you had a fun blueberry cake mix that you just had to have every once in a while. Or, if you grew up in the 1950s, maybe your favorite was a selection of grapes and cream. Regardless of our personal favorites, though, these sweets bring back lots of fond memories for any age group.
One thing you can do, if you plan to travel to a retro candy store, is to have your photo placed on the candy. That way, if someone wants to remember where they came from, or who their favorite pop star was, they can simply look at a picture of the candy they bought and remember that day and time. It might also help them identify certain items if they're traveling far from home. For example, if you buy popcorn from a retro candy store in California, you might notice that the package says "straw filled" or something similar.
If you want to go into the retro candy store in person, or order online, remember to bring along a special notebook and pen to write down everything that you find. This will help you remember your favorite candy of all times. You can even ask the candy artist to draw something specific for you.
When you go to retro candy stores, try not to be a pest. Many retro candy stores do not allow customers to trade anything with the staff. That's why you might want to come early to get a good spot. Waiting until the candy is completely done could cause an attendant to be irritated and throw your candies away, upsetting your plans.
When you shop at retro candy stores, you'll probably find that they have different varieties of nuts. You can get chocolate, mints and others. If you're planning on making a recipe at home, be sure to note which type of nuts are to be used in the recipe and how much each ingredient should be used. Not only should the recipe list of the types of nuts used, it should also have the amount of each ingredient. That way, you can double check your calculations.
Do not be discouraged by a few hard candy stores that don't accept Credit Cards. There are many retro candy stores that offer payment through their website or through phone calls. The reason for this is because many people prefer to buy their candy online and pay with a credit card. If a store allows you to pay by phone, take advantage of that option. This way you won't have to carry around a large amount of money in cash when purchasing your candy from retro candy stores.
Finally, do not judge a retro candy store by its appearance. In most cases, the inside of a retro candy store will look just like the inside of any other candy store that you find in the grocery store. The difference is the brand of candy and the price. Retro candy does not have to be beautiful. It just has to taste and smell good!
