Take a Trip Down Memory Lane with Nostalgic Candy

As we grow up, sometimes it feels good to look back and enjoy something nostalgic. Candy is one of those things that bring a lot of memories. Tied with thoughts of childhood and the silly things we all used to do, it feels great to indulge from time to time with old novelties such as Cry Baby gumballs and Pop Rocks dip candies.

Novelty candies are great finds for special occasions, such as parties, Halloween, Christmas or Easter, and kids will love these classic treats. While novelty sweets are now associated with various shows and characters, kids will surely appreciate the fun of trying to keep a straight face with a sour gumball or playing pretend with lipstick-shaped candy straight from the 90’s and further back.

But it’s not just kids who enjoy these specialty treats. Have a blast sharing these with friends on your birthday or give them out as tokens of appreciation. Even weddings can get a dose of sweet humor with novelties that were well-known during the couple’s childhood. Novelty treats such as candy pacifiers and chewy cigars are also a great giveaway for baby showers, or even as gifts to friends who want to indulge in a bit of nostalgia.

Outside of using them for events, the lovely thing about these novelties is that they’re great to share with children in the family. Take some home and share the memories. Nostalgic candy can also be a great conversation starter for get-togethers at home. Keep a bowl full of your old favorites in the living room – those who recognize the treats might even be willing to share some of their own sweet memories.
