Feeling Nostalgic About……Candy? Nostalgic candy is often associated with fond childhood memories, whether it is a certain candy, game or activity. Nostalgia makes you reminisce of a certain person, or a treasured time shared with a love one bringing back many fond memories for the Baby Boomers generation. A time when things seemed more simple, back in the good ole days.
Yes, candy! Come on, when was the last time you had a big wad of Bazooka Bubble Gum in your mouth and your pocket full of the Bazooka Joe comics the gum was wrapped in? Or how many times did you and your friend’s see who could keep a Lemonhead in their mouth the longest?
Remember when candy, along with the actual trip to the candy store, was a huge treat? The old man behind the counter was so patient, waiting for you to make up your mind. After all, those pennies were precious and you had to be absolutely sure you were making the right choice. And, sometimes, just maybe, if you were having a really hard time deciding which one to get, he would slip a little of both into your bag.
Everyone knows why that era is considered the “good ole days”. What could be better than a sock hop, a trip to the malt shop with friends and a bag full of Red Hots, Necco Wafers and Red Vines? So, the next time you are planning a get-together, why not make it a “Retro” party with door prizes like Slinky’s and those candy necklaces. Make sure to include lots of candy from the past, 50’s and 60’s nostalgic candy, which could include everything from Fizzies and candy buttons to those wax lips and fangs. Don’t forget to invite the “cool guy”, you know, the one that used to have those candy cigarettes that blew “smoke” and you would always see him with one of those Cinnamon Toothpicks in his mouth.
Nothing can beat the real thing, but taking a walk down memory lane with a bag full of Pixy Stix and those marshmallow Circus Peanuts sure comes close | | |
