DESCRIPTION
Never before had life changed as quickly for Americans as it did in the 20 th century. And candy change, too. Taste the difference by sampling 12 candies in this timeline box. You’ll start with Jaw Breakers that literally rolled into the turn-of-century and garishly red licorice candy that appeared in the 1920s. Enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth texture of chocolate-covered fruits and nuts, a new addition to Depression-era movie theaters, and the complexity of candy bars, sold as an “inexpensive meal in a bar.” Then brace yourself for a space-age experience like no other, with candies full of fun and fizz. Best of all – the timeline contains a keepsake card with the story of each 20 th century selection and a copy of an authentic 20 th century illustration on the front.

The 20th Century Candy Boom: How Sweets Became Business
The story of 20 th century candy is all about industry, marketing, and commerce. The 1900s saw a leap in machinery: Early candy that was made by hand or slow-moving machines, could zip through hundreds of candies in just a few minutes. By the late 1900s machines produced candy in no time at all. Lucky for companies with all that candy, marketing took off so companies could tell people about it…and get them to buy! Ads ran on at movies, on radio and later TV. Billboards and posters announced them. No wonder William Wrigley advised, even if you don’t have money, to advertise! All the while, candy reflected the times. In the 1920s, candy bars were the rage after making an appearance in war rations; Prohibition saw candies named for illegal cocktails; World War 2 saw a rush of candies made for the troops; and the space age saw Satellite Wafers, Astro Pops and other fun and fizzy out-of-this-world sweets! So, where did 2oth century kids find their favorite candies? The answer will surprise you! Discover here and in Susan’s blog from her book “Sweet as Sin.”
