Never before had life changed as quickly for Americans as it did in the 20th century. And candy changed, too. Taste the difference by sampling 12 candies in this candy timeline box. You’ll start with Jaw Breakers that literally rolled into the turn-of-century and garishly red licorice candy that appeared in the 1920s. Enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth texture of chocolate-covered fruits and nuts, a new addition to Depression-era movie theaters, and the complexity of candy bars, sold as an “inexpensive meal in a bar.” Many of these candies were part of world war candy rations during the wars, providing soldiers with quick energy and comfort. Then brace yourself for a space-age experience like no other, with candies full of fun and fizz. Best of all – the timeline contains a keepsake card with the story of each 1900s candy gift selection and a copy of an authentic 20th-century illustration on the front.
