Reminiscing with Retro Candy at CandyWarehouse.com

There are many memories of our youthful days; playing in the park past sunset on a long summer day, sleepovers at our friend’s house, or how about the annual spelling bee. And for most of us there are so many more memories of the “good ole days.” Sometimes it is fun to sit back and just think about when life seemed so less hectic and there wasn’t a care in the world. I recently had a chance to reminisce a bit and what brought a smile to my face was thinking about heading down to the little candy store on the corner and picking out my favorites.

Modern day candy just doesn’t feel the same. There is something about old fashioned candy that makes me smile. Today’s candy is no match to the likes of: Teaberry gum, Necco wafers, Boston Baked Beans, root beer barrels, or Abba Zaba. Each one of these yummy candies brings about associations to different childhood memories. Since many of these candies are no longer sold in stores it got me thinking, what are some fun ways to celebrate these retro candy favorites?

One idea that came to mind was to order a bunch of old time candy from the internet and throw a party with a nostalgic theme. One approach could be to send out invitations that have a classic look to them encouraging guests to dress according to the decade they were born in. Then you can surprise them all by setting up appropriate decorations and music, but more importantly, creatively displaying some of the nostalgic candy you ordered. Not only does candy serve as a great decoration, but it is the perfect conversation piece. When guests notice some of the candies they haven’t had in years they will have to get a taste. Everyone is surely to have a story of their favorite childhood candy memory. Another way to celebrate with nostalgic candy is to send it as a gift. There are websites that sell nostalgic candy by itself or as a bunch that is neatly arranged into a gift box. What a great way to send a thank you to a friend or anyone else. Once I received a whole bunch of retro candy as a business gift. There were about fifteen different kinds of old fashioned candy that I hadn’t seen in years. The fun part was sampling each candy and reminiscing with my family about those times as a kid. Who wouldn’t love getting some of their old time favorites in the mail?A friend of mine used old fashioned candy at their kid’s birthday party and it was a hit! It makes sense; we love old time candy not just for the memories but because it tastes good too. Kids these days still get excited over gum cigarettes, circus peanuts, gold mine gum, or even rock candy. You could use nostalgic candy as a thank you gift to the party guests or create a game and hand out the candy as a prize. I have also heard of parents putting their old time favorite candies in their children’s stockings at Christmas. To their surprise, the kids loved it and said something like, “why don’t we have cool candy like this today?” There are a million ways to bring back some childhood favorites. Ever in the mood for some red hots? Or how about some of those candy buttons that come on the long strip of paper? No matter what your craving there is bound to be a childhood story to go along with the candy. And that’s the fun part. You are not just eating candy, but it is so much fun telling your friends, neighbors, or kids about your favorite candy when you were growing up. Try it; it will surely bring a smile to your face!Check out the nostalgic candy available at CandyWarehouse.com.
