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":295430946858,"handle":"60s","updated_at":"2025-08-22T12:14:09-04:00","published_at":"2025-04-23T14:40:41-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"60s-candy","published_scope":"global","title":"60s Candy Collections","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eStep back in time and explore our collection of 60s candy that brings nostalgic treats right to your door.

Historical Insights
Good and Plenty candy is a timeless classic – and rightly so! It’s the oldest candy brand in the country, with a crunchy sugar shell encompassing pieces of black licorice. The colors remain the same as always – pink and white – and the bite-sized portions make it perfect for snacking, easy to carry, and a quick pick-me-up, no fuss or bother. A favorite at movie theaters, Good and Plenty candy is great in a bowl at parties with a spoon for easy access. The story behind Good and Plenty and its advertising mascot, Choo-Choo Charlie, is also featured on the label.
