World War 2 was over and sugar for candy had returned. In the late 1940s and 1950s, candy makers were busily creating new selections – such as flavored Charleston Chews – and bringing back others. Many 1950s candies, such as Goobers and Raisinets were stars at movie theaters and drive-ins, where Americans enjoyed films at over 4,063 outdoor screens. Playing the card game bridge with friends? Bridgemix candy was the swet of choice. Need a breath freshener? Grandmothers carried hard candies in their purses just in case. Advertising also gave older candy a bump, from new Taxi-Cab themed wrappers on Abba Zabba to the advertising campaign for Good n’ Plenty, featuring Choo-Choo Charlie.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2024-12-12T09:31:28-05:00","alt":null,"width":2048,"height":2048,"src":"\/\/truetreatscandy.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/C_BRIDGE_MIX_2.png?v=1734013889"}},{"id":291189227562,"handle":"all-candy","updated_at":"2025-08-22T12:20:07-04:00","published_at":"2025-01-30T08:34:32-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"All Old Fashioned Candies","body_html":""},{"id":285115514922,"handle":"chocolate","updated_at":"2025-08-22T13:14:07-04:00","published_at":"2024-09-19T11:36:30-04:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"old-time-chocolate","published_scope":"web","title":"Old Chocolate Collections","body_html":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChocolate part of the human diet for millennia.

Historical Insights
Chocolate Lovers, Rejoice!
Enjoy the ultimate in finger foods, satisfyingly sweet. At the turn of the century, machinery enabled candy-makers to quickly and inexpensively coat just about anything with sugar and chocolate, chocolate covered peanuts, almonds, raisins, caramels, marshmallows, and other tasty treats became all the rage. In fact, chocolate-covered fruit and nuts were so popular that folks at home sent boxes to WWI soldiers as part of world war candy rations. These classic treats remain a nostalgic favorite today.
What is Bridge Mix, Anyway?
Chocolate covered nuts and raisins were a popular theater snack as well as a hit with card players. Bridge players in the 1920s – 1950s sat around tables for entire evenings, obsessed with their favorite game. Put down their cards to eat? Forget it! That’s where bridge mix was handy – pieces so small they could snack with one hand and hold their cards with the other. This delightful treat is part of our 1900s candy gift collection and celebrated in the candy timeline box. Comes in a 4 oz heat-sealed bag with the history on the label.

The bridge mix tastes just like I remember that I used to buy from Brachs. I do wish your packages came in larger sizes though. They are only about one serving.
