You might expect that the old-fashioned candy list from the 1940’s would be a bit short because of the effects of World War II. Due to sugar shortages during the war, candy innovation and production was lean. But after 1945, several iconic candies were introduced.

No other nostalgic 40's candy would gain as much fame as Bazooka Bubble Gum. Packaged in red, white, and blue, this gum is associated with American sweets perhaps more than any other retro candy. A common misconception is that Bazooka was named after the weapon. It was, in fact, named after a musical instrument, which is much nicer.

Though Heath Bars were though introduced in 1914, they became very popular in the 1940’s because they were included in soldiers’ ration kits as a health food.  M&M's Plain Chocolate Candies were unveiled in 1941 as a means to spur flagging chocolate sales.

Other old-fashioned candy like Bonomo Turkish Taffy, Licorice Laces, Junior Mints, Fun Dip, and many more round out our selection of 1940's candy. When you discover one of your hard-to-find retro candy favorites, don’t forget to submit a review.

Mild and buttery

Great mild mint taste. Melts in your mouth. Nice size too.

I Snaps by the POUND!!!

I saw I could order Snaps after a lifetime drought. I order 6#,s, and ate em all. I saw a problem forming so I ordered 9# of Snaps in 12 oz packs. Still . I wanted sealed Snaps for the long haul. So I ordered another 6# bag … and ate it. The pandemic hits and I salivate over my sealed 12 oz bags. Then I ate em. A year later I found Snpas online. The were not cheap. I bought 4 12 oz bags. Opened the last one yesterday.

Halloween Orange and Black Spice Drops
Matt Panush
Perfect amount!!

With decent weather on Halloween, wanted to make sure I had plenty of candy to give away. Delivery was on time and kept me out of the stores buying old candy that had been on the shelves since Labor Day.

I have not eaten these pumpkin seeds since the 1950's. They sure bring back good memories from when I was a kid in New York City.

Melocreme Pumpkins

You Ripped me off I ordered 5 pounds you only gave me three and a half and because the weights at 8 pounds you say you gave me five pounds so I guess don't bother with the 5% discount cause I won't buy from you again

All of our products are packed using certified scales and by looing at the weight of the package, measured by a calibrated scale, it appears tat you received EXACTLY the amount you ordered. As I am assuming the scale you used is not professionally weight certified, I might encourage you to see if it is accurate before you cast dispersions on a company and their busienss ethics. We would never knowingly sell a less than advertised amount and, ironically, we would never use a scale that wasn't professionally certified.

Black Jelly Beans
Linda Taylor
The black jelly beans

They are deleciious and are as good if not the name bands. They came in faster than I expected. I will buy them again.

Thank you for leaving a review for our black jelly beans! We're thrilled to hear that you find them delicious and comparable to name brands. We're also happy to know that they arrived quickly. We appreciate your support and look forward to being of service in the future!
