Candy bar with 5 in name6/20/2023 ![]() Here are 5 Candy Bars from the 1970s and 1980s that have come and gone: Who doesn’t like to grab one for a quick snack, at a movie theater, or just to treat yourself? By 1905 Cadbury had a production facility, the first of its kind in the burgeoning industry with names like Hershey, Nestle, Necco, Mars and Luden throwing their hats in the ring.Įvery since then America’s has had a deep-seated love affair with the candy bar. You might have heard of this guy…John Cadbury.īoth Cadbury and Fry would soon join forces and mass produce a few types of sweet concoctions, Cadbury launched his business into the stratosphere with the introduction of the Cadbury egg in 1875. A few years later a Quaker businessman who had been selling tea, coffee, and hot cocoa since the 1820s came along and jumped into the candy bar market. A man named Joseph Fry put sugar and cocoa and formed it into the common shape we see so often today. The candy bar has been around since the 1840s England believe it or not. I don’t like the sound of a “nickel candy store.” If a penny candy store exists anywhere, maybe a single piece would cost a nickel. I’m not sure you can even buy anything in America for a nickel anymore. Amazing considering that when companies first began to mass market their nougat, caramel, chocolate, peanut creations in the 1950s the average candy bar was a…nickel! So, it comes as no surprise that the candy business is a $5 billion dollar a year business. The candy bar has been around forever and each decade scores of new ones are added to the vast variety. ![]() If you ask any red-blooded American what there favorite things to eat were growing up, you’re likely to hear candy bars in their reminiscing. The candy bar is as American as apple pie and baseball. ![]()
