The civil war and… jelly beans?

August 6th, 2008

Our vintage candy company specializes in nostalgia. It specializes in fun and memories. We also love trivia. Admit it, so do you. So, let’s learn about … jelly beans

I uncovered something really interesting about jelly beans. I know that (regardless of age) we all grew up with them. In fact, they are so old that jelly beans were reportedly advertised as early as the 1860’s when William Shraft claims to have sent them to Union soldiers as treats during the Civil War!

As much as we love fun facts, we want to serve you. We have pounded the candy walk pavement and found all of your vintage candy favorites. We didn’t take a break. In fact, we have worked so hard, that we have, in our archaeological dig, found over 40 varieties for your pleasure. We have also created a variety of packages for you to chose from.

These would look great on any antique shelf, whether in your home, store or shop. So, why don’t you take a few minutes and browse our website. You can view some more fascinating facts, and then place an order for these wonderful candies, so full of memories.

Candy buyers and wholesale accounts welcome
