fun nostalgic treat
I bought this on a whim for myself. It is a bit expensive, but I guesstimated the cost of each item except for the single hard candies, and I believe the price is worth it. As a young child in the late 1970s, this box brought back so many memories, and I can say most of the selections in my box remind me of that time period. Some of the items I got had been around longer, but were still popular in the '70s, or were considered old fashioned candies that remain ever-popular. Some of the candy did come in flavors that were not available in or before the 1970s, most likely due to newer flavors replacing older discontinued ones.I just got my box today, but I have already opened and sampled most of the items, especially ones I really liked as a child, and the few I was unfamiliar with. I am looking forward to digging into my box over the next few weeks. I liked everything except the candy lipstick and the candy cigarettes. In my box, I received the following:1970s items:1 pack Big Red gum1 pack Bubblicious gum1 pack Bubble Yum gum1 Blow Pop sucker1 tube Bottle Cap candy1 Fun Dip pouch1 pouch Gold Mine Nugget gum2 fun size Laffy Taffy1 Munch Peanut Bar1 Pop Rocks candy1 bag Razzles gum1 Ring Pop1 bag Sour Patch KidsAll of these came out in the 1970s, some I remembered, others I looked up. The name Sour Patch Kids is fromthe 1980s, but the candy was sold in the '70s under a different name.Older items:1 strip Candy Buttons1 box Candy Cigarettes2 Chupa Chup suckers1 Dip Dab1 box Everlasting Gobstopper jawbreakers1 pack Jelly Belly Sours jelly beans1 Love Hearts Lipstick1 pack Mike and Ike Tropical Typhoon1 pack Nik L Nip wax bottle candy1 old-fashioned Stick Candy in clove1 pack Red Hots1 bag Red Vines1 Rock Candy On A Stick1 Smarties Candy Necklace2 rolls Smarties candy2 rolls Sweetarts candy2 single Twizzlers4 Zots in orangeMost of these I remember eating or being available in the 1970s, although they have been around longer than that. The Chupa Chup suckers and the Dip Dab were new to me, but now I need to find out where to buy British Dip Dab because it is way better than Fun Dip. The candy lipstick is not the brand I had as a child and didn't taste as good as I remembered. I didnt like the taste of candy cigarrettes as a child, but I gave them a try and they still taste nasty, and they didn't even give a puff of powdered sugar "smoke" either. I didn't hear about Jelly Belly brand candy until the 1980s, but I looked them up, and they have been around a long time.I also had a handful of assorted individually wrapped hard candies which I just considered a bonus. They included lemonheads, jawbusters, hard peanut candies, rootbeer barrels, butterscotch, ginger hard candies, sixlets, frooties, strawberry hard candies, and about 10 more unmarked hard candies I cannot identify.

Disappointed
I ordered the 30's box I thought it would have been a great idea to use as my December advent box. Getting to try a new candy everyday I was excited. After opening and only counting 17 things in the box I was disappointed. Wasn't worth the money.

This is the BEST vintage retro 1970's candy I have ever bought!
There are so many things I love about this vintage retro candy. The box has a very retro vibe and takes you back to the 1970's. The little sleeve around the box is very decorative and cute. I was so excited to open it and find a wide selection of 70's candy. Some of them I haven't seen in a long time. I have ordered from other vintage candy companies but none compares to this company. This box of candy made me so happy. I think it would be a perfect gift for friends, relatives, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and also for "I'm Sorry" gifts. You can never go wrong with a gift like this! Thank you seller!
