The 1900s was quite a time for fun! Movie theaters were opening,airplanes were flying, and carnivals and circuses were everywhere! As for candy—hard, colorful “jawbreakers” of the early 1900s became the fiery “Atomic Fire Balls” about 50 years later. The first filled candy bar appeared around 1912 which people enjoyed as candy, full of caramel, nuts and fruits!

During “Prohibition” of the 1920s a candy called the Charleston Chew was named for a celebratory dance in places called “speakeasies.”  At special candy stores, kids bought Caramel Creams and hard candy on a stick called “lollipops”. Soon after, movie theater owners started selling candies such as chocolate-covered fruit and nuts. Other candies were silly and fun— such as licorice laces and chocolate drops.

In hard times, such as war, candy was there to help. American servicemen and women overseas received sourballs, M&Ms, Dubble Bubble gum, malted milk, and other candies from the War Department and in gifts from home. Once the wars ended, candy became more popular than ever. Grandmas kept mints and other sweets in special candy bowls at home. Grandpas kept toffee and licorice in their workshops. Of course, they shared these candies with the grandchildren they loved. In the 1970s, gummy candies arrived in the United States from Germany and soon became one of the most popular candies around.

In the mid-1900s, people reported seeing UFOs, a rocket broke through the sound barrier, and the first American space vehicle landed on the moon! New candies, such as Pop Rocks and Zotz were full of fizz and pop, celebrating the outer space occurrences. Most definitely new and exciting places lie waiting for us!
