Old Time Candy Review/Giveaway


Do you remember Wax Lips, Ice Cube Chocolates, Bonomo’s Turkish Taffy, Candy Cigarettes, Candy Buttons on paper tape, Wax Syrup Bottles, Sky Bars, Zagnut, Necco Wafers, Teaberry Gum or Chick-o-Sticks?

I remember going to a little country store in Pennsylvania and buying penny candy. Well, they were a nickle, but still. I always wondered where I could find some of the “old” candy from my youth. I found it – Old Time Candy. You have to check them out!

I have a coupon code perfect for Valentine’s Day or Easter – mommyhastowork – good for 10% off any order.

Among gifts baskets, custom gifts and individual candies, you can get what’s called a decade box. You can pick which decade you want, 50s, 60s, 70s of the 80s and they come in 2 or 4 pound boxes.

I read through the lists of candies and was able to choose the 70’s Decade box to review. was my family excited about that when the mailman came, even my mom was excited! I was excited to see my favorite, the lollie.

So how did Old Time Candy come about?

Karen and Donny Ray grew up in the late fifties and early sixties when it only cost 50 cents to go to the “picture show” and a large bag of popcorn from the “dime store” was only a dime (really!). Those were the days, eh?

In 1999 they were walking around an old time candy store and saw all the candy that they remember eating as a kid. They did not realize you could still buy it. They started on-line in 2000 and ten years later, are still growing.

We have a lot of fun eating and selling the candy we ate as kids. Sometimes we are asked how we can sell 50 year old candy. It makes us smile and our response is that our candy is fresh from the manufacturer. We don’t make the candy, we tracked down the manufacturers who are still in business and sell their candy on the Internet.

What makes Old Time Candy unique?

We are actually in the “memory business.” It is our hope that you will enjoy the candy and at the same time, take a trip down memory lane. Our Candy you ate as a kid® packages make wonderful gifts. Everyone loves candy, especially candy you ate as kid.

Make sure to check out their website for some old time photos!

Would you like to win a decade box? Visit Old Time Candy and tell me which is your favorite candy or which decade box you want to try.

Don’t forget coupon code – mommyhastowork – good for 10% off any order.
