Old Candy vs New Candy

Really? What do you think was better? Candy from the 80s and 90s or the candy now in the 2000s? Give me some of your favorites. No local candy! Only manufactured and mass production candy.

Ex. Do not put: chocolate from the store down the street.

Put: Snickers, Pop Rocks, Jolly Ranchers.

 

Pop rox and Jolly Ranchers are awesome!

 

POP ROCKS AND SHITTLES!!!! THOSE ARE THE SMEX!!! ALSO AIRHEADS and Snickers haha​

 

have you seen those things at Cracker Barrel that have a whole assortment of candy from a certain time
I like the 80's
(but I also liked Wonder Ball, remember those from the Early 2000's?)

 

Pop Rocks and Warheads from the 90s were the best! Yes! I do remember the Wonderball! Great candy.

 

Skittles, Hershey Bars, and Kit Kat Bars are my favorite kinds of candies. I remember when I was 6 or something, I used to really like those candy cigarettes (even though I hated the idea of smoking) 0_o

 

Oh yeah! I forgot about warheads!

 

I like caramel candies, (I don't really know what they are called, but they hand them out on Halloween A LOT, and they are in cube) and I like jolly ranchers. Along with Blo-Pops. (:

 

Sorry, but American "candy" sucks horribly compared with other countries sweets. The only exception are Skittles but that's 'cause you guys have grape flavoured (i think it's grape). I used to like Jolly Ranchers but they taste so bland now-a-days n' they are only useful if you wanna choke.

 

The old stuff is still sold where I live along side the new stuff, we call them sweets.

Btw, do American call any chocolate or sugar based junk food candy? I've never understood what they see candy as.

 

QFT.
Our "candy" here is much different.


Fayt, Americans call any chocolate or sweets candy. I..think. xD

 

Thought so, seems my theories of life are becoming true

Oh I forgot to mention I love me some Toblerone (or how ever you spell it) XD

 

agreed. x3


We have this awesome old fashioned sweet shop near where I live, it sells all the old stuff in the old jars and weighing scales and stuff xD

Toblerone rocks.
But... Galaxy pwns.

 

Laffy Taffy was my most favorite candy when I was little. Still is too! :D And... I forgot what they're called, but it's liquid in a wax bottle... those are good! :)

 

Oh! I liked those things too. I can't remember their name either Dx

 

I went to Universal Studios, and they had a Willy-Wonka Candy Shop. I saw like chocolate covered raisens(Raisenettes) and Jelly-Bellys gallore. OMG I was in heaven. But I saw a lot of candy I can't even pronounce, and thats sad...T^T

 

OMG, you mean those chewy caramel cube thingos? They are the best things ever!
I currently have an obsession with chocolate covered coffee beans. I don't even like coffee, but they're so yummy! xD

 

I'll have to say the candy we have these days. I could live off of Crunch Bars, Sweet Tarts, and Warheads xD

 

Umm, candy aren't really from specific decades, almost all candy you can think of have been in existence for much longer then a single decade...as in, like, over 50 years old >_>

 

The recipe used in most candy has been changed over the years. New candy has been invented also.

So, from the sentence I wrote above, you should now get the point of this thread, right? xD

Candy back in the 'ole days. Tasted better and not as loaded down with sugar...Or at least that is what my dad tells me.
