These days, nearly 23% of conversation in the Bittersweetjesus office (aka Barcade on Saturday nights) revolves around our general disdain for nostalgic candies. From the toothsomely tame candy necklace to the mildly subversive bubble gum cigar, retro confections have maintained a presence on store shelves despite their tawdry taste and total lack of demand.
Think about it – when was the last time you saw someone walk into Economy or Dylan’s actually looking for wax bottles, Red Hots, or those strips of candy buttons that stick to the paper?
That’s what we thought.
So after two or three (or ten) Hefeweizens, we came up with a rather lengthy / illegible list of nostalgic novelties that should be banished for confectionary crimes. And each week, we’ll be highlighting one of these stoneage sweets, in hopes that their creators will halt production.
The series will run until we exhaust our expansive list, or this topic becomes stale like the dust-covered Nestle Crunch in Grandma Krozek’s pantry.
Stay tuned for the sweet, sweet commentary!
