Classic Candies Only Boomers Remember

For candy enthusiasts, every treat has its own unique charm. If you're craving a chocolatey crunch, classic M&Ms are a great choice. If you're in the mood for something sweet and tangy, Skittles or Sour Patch Kids might hit the spot. There is truly a candy for every taste and occasion. Yet, some iconic sweets--like those beloved by Baby Boomer--have slipped through the cracks of time.

While many of the top candy picks for kids today have origins that date back to the early 20th century, there is still an entire selection of sweet treats that were favorites among the Baby Boomer generation that have fallen out of favor. These are some of the most popular candies consumed when Boomers were children.
