Get ready to take a trip down memory lane with us as we explore the delicious world of candy from the 1960s through the 1980s. Candy is more than just a sweet treat; it's a cultural touchstone that brings back fond memories of childhood and simpler times. During these decades, the candy industry underwent a rapid transformation, with new flavors, textures, and shapes that captured the imaginations of candy lovers everywhere.

Much of the candy we see on the shelves today first started from the 80s, and here are some that live on in memories.

These were some totally rad times.
