Explore the History of Sweets with World War Candy Rations, a 1900s Candy Gift, and the Candy Timeline Box

What a time the 1900s were for sweets and treats, from the festive sweets of the early 1900s to the delightfully explosive treats of the Space Age! You’ll get an authentic taste of the changes in True Treats’ exclusive 1900s candy gift collection, the candy timeline box. Each easy-to-open/easy-to-close capsule is full of surprises, creating an exciting (and educational!) journey for anyone who opens it:

From sugar-sweet Jaw Breakers of the early 1900s to the fizzy-powder-filled Zotz of the 1970s you’ll get a narrated taste of the candy through the fast-moving century in human history! Always an adventure!
A letter from the Time Traveler, describing each sweet inside the capsule. Did you know candy bars started as an “inexpensive meal” in a bar?
A copy of an actual NASA photo of Apollo 11 – the first spaceflight to bring humans onto the moon.

Content is based on the scholarly research of True Treats’ founder Susan Benjamin, for an authentic taste of the past, including iconic world war candy rations and other historical treats.

The 20th Century Candy Boom: How Sweets Became Business with World War Candy Rations, a 1900s Candy Gift, and the Candy Timeline Box

The story of 20th 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 in movies, on the 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 world war candy rations; Prohibition saw candies named for illegal cocktails; World War II 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! To understand the evolution of these sweets, enjoy a 1900s candy gift that will take you through the era's most iconic treats. From war rations to space-age novelties, it’s all part of our candy timeline box, giving you a taste of history with every bite.

So, where did 20th-century kids find their favorite candies? The answer will surprise you! Discover here and in Susan’s blog from her book “Sweet as Sin.”
