Themed History: Candies of the 1940s: The power of the sweet tooth may never have been more evident than during the 1940s, when World War II rationing led to shortages of sugar. As sweets traditionally made in the home became comparatively scarce, commercially produced candy became the alternative. While manufacturers were faced with challenges presented by shortages of both food and resources, ingenuity prevailed. In a time that was fraught with the stresses of war, candy was a luxury (at three to four cents per ounce) and a bright spot in the lives of both the troops overseas and those keeping the home fires burning. Many of these candies are still found in stores today and continue to make their way into grocery bags all over the world. Ten Popular Candies Introduced in the 1940s 1. York Peppermint Pattie appeared in 1940. This round, dark chocolate delight is filled with a peppermint confection, offering both sweet and refreshing satisfaction. It has been enjoyed for generations. Introduced by the York Cone Company of York, Pennsylvania, the treat was manufactured there for more than five decades. York Cone Company was acquired by Hershey’s in 1998, which continues to produce this popular candy today. 2. Saf-T-Pops Lollipops were introduced in 1940. The name of this hard candy lollipop was derived from the special design of its looped handle to minimize choking risks in toddlers. It was the brainchild of Carl Spohr and Robert Bracke, and the rights were sold two years after the candy debuted to the Chicago-area Curtiss Candy Company. Today, the lollipops are manufactured by the Spangler Company of Bryan, Ohio. 3. Allan Hot Lips Candy debuted in the 1940s. The Allan Candy Company of Hamilton, Ontario, opened in 1931 and quickly gained a following for one of its earliest chewy candies, Big Foot. Their Hot Lips candies became popular in the following decade, not only in Canada, but across the United States. These red chews molded in the shape of lips feature a sweet and intense cinnamon flavor with a bit of heat. 4. M&M’s Chocolate Candy was introduced in 1941. The hard-shelled chocolate candies were conceived by the son of candy manufacturer Franklin C. Mars. Forrest Mars was in Spain during the Spanish Civil War and noticed British solders eating handfuls of round chocolates with a hard candy coating. Upon his return to the states, he patented the idea. 5. Lik-M-Aid (Fun Dip) came out in 1942. This treat is a flavored candy powder and was known as Lik-M-Aid when it was first introduced. It was eaten by dipping your fingers into it and then licking it off the fingertips. That sounds messy, right? Perhaps that’s why it faded away for a time and then was reborn in the early 1970s as Fun Dip, which included a candy dipping stick to be used instead of fingers. The powder originally came in cherry and orange flavors, and the later version offered cherry, lime, and grape. Today’s variety has expanded its flavor offerings even further. Some Fun Dip lovers prefer to eat the candy stick first and then pour the packet of sweet powder directly into their mouths, while others take their time and dip the candy stick into the powder to savor the treat. 6. Almond Joy Candy Bar was introduced to the candy market by the Peter Paul Candy Manufacturing Company in 1946. It features a candy bar in two equal segments that consists of a coconut filling topped with an almond and wrapped in milk chocolate. The candy bar is now manufactured by Hershey’s, which purchased Peter Paul Candy in 1988. 7. Bazooka Bubble Gum premiered in 1947. Made by the Topps Company of Brooklyn, New York, it is an old- fashioned, sweet bubble gum that sold for a penny and was known for the comics in which it was wrapped. Since 2012, the comic has been replaced with a selection of brain teasers. It no longer sells for one cent and now goes for a quarter. 8. Jolly Ranchers hit the market in 1949. Ice cream makers Bill and Dorothy Harmsen opened the Jolly Rancher candy store in Golden, Colorado, when they realized the demand for hard candies exceeded that of ice cream. They started making the Jolly Rancher candy to sell in their store because they were unhappy with local candy suppliers. Their fruity, mouthwatering hard candy is old-fashioned but still popular today. And the brand has grown since its debut, now offering Jolly Rancher lollipops, chewy morsels, and more than a dozen flavors of the hard candies, including hot and spicy. 9. Junior Mints came out in 1949 and have not changed much since then. They are a small peppermint round covered in rich dark chocolate and are the perfect size to pop into the mouth whole. This old-fashioned candy was the creation of James O. Welch, who started his own candy company in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Today, Junior Mints are produced by Tootsie Roll Industries and are a top seller at the movie theater snack counter. 10. Smarties (Candy-Rockets) were another 1949 American creation, not to be confused with the popular Canadian chocolate Smarties. In the U.S. they are simply called Smarties, but in Canada they are called Smarties Candy-Rockets to distinguish them from the Canadian chocolate variety. American Smarties are tablet-shaped candies that come in a roll wrapped in cellophane. They are offered in a variety of pastel colors within each roll, including green, pink, yellow, purple, orange, and white. They are produced in Union Township, New Jersey,and in Newmarket, Ontario. Fun Forties Candy Facts: • The U.S. Army was M&M’s first big customer. They were given to soldiers in WWII because they provided energy without melting and making a mess. • PEZ candies were invented by anti-smoking advocate Eduard Haas III, who marketed the mints to help smokers kick the habit. The candy’s slogan in the 1920s was “Smoking prohibited, PEZing allowed.” • A licking machine is used to test the number of licks it takes to get to the chewy center of a Tootsie Pop. It takes anywhere from 364 to 411 licks to reach the center. Themed History: Fads and Fashions of the 1940s: The 1940s were a time of drastic change, with trends to match.
