How did candy (nostalgic candy included) get from Easter being the most sacred holiday of the Christian year, to it being the second highest top selling candy holiday of the year? This is not compared to being second to Valentines Day, but to Halloween candy sales.  Interesting.

It goes back to the pagan belief that eggs produced fertility and re-birth.  By the 1800’s, Christians had adopted the symbol of the egg as part of the Easter festivities, representing the resurrection or re-birth of Christ following His crucifixion.

During this time, chocolatiers were trying to determine how best to market their wares.  Hot Cross Buns were the favorite of the poor in European countries, and chocolate makers wished to find their way into the hearts of the high-class society.  Germany and France were the first to introduce the solid chocolate Easter Egg.  It spread quickly throughout Europe and it did not take long for this chocolate lovers’ delight to spread to the Western World.

These eggs were, at first solid.  The chocolate’s texture was much different than it is today, therefore, much more difficult to work with.  Once machines came into play, it was easier, and more beneficial for the companies, to hollow out the egg.

By the 1960’s, the Easter Egg was well established.  From there, it was just a matter of time before they created the chocolate Easter bunny, birds and other assorted spring and Easter symbols.   Currently, the numbers for sales of Easter bunnies alone have reached ninety million per year!

Here are some interesting facts about some of the most popular nostalgic candy. The nostalgic candy I’m speaking of goes all the way back to the 1800’s.  Our Nostalgic Candy company also offers bulk candy.

Snickers Candy Bar, created by the Mars Co. in 1929, was named after the family’s horse.

Whatchyamacallit Candy Bar, created by Hersheys, claimed it had a name and taste that was hard to forget

Milky Way – There are two versions of this candy bar.  One is the American version, the other is the European version.  This one is similar to the 3 Musketeer Bar

Boston Baked Beans-This is not because it comes from Boston.  The name is a generic terminology used throughout the candy industry meaning, “sugar coated peanuts”

Jujube- Is actually an edible fruit that grows in the tropics.  This has nothing to do with the actual candy, however.

Abba Zabba – These candies are, in fact, considered Kosher to the Jewish Religion

Mary Jane – Named, not for the drug.  It is a type of shoe.

Pop Rocks – They pop in your mouth when small pockets of CO2 are released

Bit O’ Honey – Unique (for it’s time) in that it is six pieces of candy wrapped together in wax paper,

then packaged in the wrapper

Our website carries over 40 types of nostalgic candies, feel free to browse. Contact us when you are ready to place your order.

Nostalgic candy and cars.  What a great combination!  Looking at the history of what is now known as nostalgic candy, and comparing it to the history of automobiles was rather interesting.  Enjoy what I have put together on the history of candy and cars.  Oh, and feel free to browse our website for all of your nostalgic candy needs!

Although certain things such as the Oldsmobile, electric motors, brakes and Ford were rolling on the automobile end; and companies such as Whitmans, Hersheys and Wrigleys were creating chocolate confections, I chose to start my timeline in the year 1913.  This was the first year that I found they both were simultaneously “on the move”, shall I say?

1913 =

Goo Goo Clusters, made in the deep South, is the first candy bar to have a combination of  milk chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, and peanuts

Ford Motor Company develops the first moving assembly line.  This allowed Ford to drop their prices so the masses could afford it.

 (With the dropped prices, they could afford to by Goo Goo Clusters…)

1926 =

Milk Duds are introduced

First power steering system is introduced

(thereby making eating candy and driving a lot safer….)

1931 =

Tootsie Roll Pops are introduced.  Hard on the outside, soft on the inside

First modern independent front suspension system introduced by Mercedes-Benz.  This made it so that you had a smoother ride

(meaning you didn’t hit so many bumps, so it was harder to choke on the candy)

See how well they work together?
