Reminiscing about the good ole days of adolescence brings back a lot happy memories. Playing ball in the yard, staying up late at a friend's house, or maybe family road trips spring to mind. One souvenir in particular that brought a grin to my face was reminiscing about when my friends and I would pick out our favorite candies from the corner candyshop.

Current day sweets just don't seem the same. There is something about retro candy that makes us all just grin. Moderncandy do not compare to candies like : Teaberry gum, Necco wafers, Boston Baked Beans, root beer barrels, or Abba Zabba. Each one of these tasty sweets makes us think of different happy childhood memories.

Since many of those candies are now not sold in stores it got me wondering, wouldn't it be great to celebrate these retro candy favorites? One idea that came to mind was to buy a bunch of old fashioned candy from the internet and have a celebration with a retro theme. With the holidays coming, this could be a great. Not only does candy serve as a great treat and decoration, but also it is the ideal conversation piece.

When guests see some of the candies they have not tasted in years they'll have to try some. Everyone seems to have a tale of their favorite childhood candy. An alternate way to celebrate with old fashioned candy is to send it as a present. There are websites that sell old fashioned candy by itself or in bulk that's smartly arranged into a present basket. What a way to offer a salutation to a pal or any one else.

There are some gift boxes that have about fifteen different kinds of retro candy that many of us haven't seen in ages. The best part was trying each retro candy and reminiscing about those times as a kid. Who would not be thrilled getting some of their old time faves as a present?

We like old time candy not only for the memories but also because it tastes good too. Kids these days still get a kick out of gum cigarettes, circus peanuts, gold mine gum, or perhaps rock candy.

These are some of many ideas to bring back some great retro candy. Whatever your preference of candy it is just plain fun! More than just eating candy, nostalgic candy provides stories and entertainment with buddies, kids, neighbours, or fellow workers. Give it a try and expect a real giant smile! - 24553
