Candy Evolution Throughout History | 1960 to 2020

hi i'm carthage and this is elle bubble he's tired he's been alive since the 2010s welcome back to candy throughout the decades right now we are checking out 1960 and i think you'll be amazed by the marketing the gimmicks all of the things that our society have done to get kids really fond of sugar [Music] in 1960 we had a gendered candy this is called it's a boy by elle bubble and what better way to celebrate a baby than to have a sweet treat that looks like can i have a knife looks like a knife no this is what you get at your gender reveal party this is what you get when the fetus has a venus in the 60s this was okay then would it be okay now hey kids would you like a cigar look it's a boy they're candy cigars fun for the whole family wow it says in the description here l bubble bubble gum cigars are made harder to keep the shape no refunds for hardness is their catchphrase what yeah like hey you're pregnant no refunds on what i just did you want a cigar bring the kids the kids will be able to eat this and the italian grandfather will be able to be like you're talking to me it's a good way to get your kids practicing so this is gum tastes like blue raspberry mmm it tastes like fruit loops it doesn't say anything anywhere on the packaging about the flavor sorry dropped some yeah it just tastes like um fruit punch fruit loops cotton candy fun for the whole family for your kids for your mom for your grandma if my mom came home and i was like what are you looking at she wouldn't like that moving on in 1960 1963 the astro pop designed to be like a three-stage rocket because what were we obsessed with space what did we do in the summer is 69 we landed on the moon wait it was the moon right yeah okay just making sure even though i'm a 90s kid i remember these i remember them tasting pretty darn good i remember them being very hard to get into bruh this thing looks pretty shoddy for a you know a professional product but we have here cherry is that cherry maybe cherry passion fruit pineapple i mean that tastes really artificial ah this like little side thing here it's sharp i just licked it and i think it cut my tongue it's good though i could see a kid enjoying it but yeah it's just very artificial oh millions of these babes have been sold i find them awful but if i was a kid i'm not gonna say no if you watched the first installment of this you would know that prior to the 1960s when they said sour they didn't mean it but this one here the now and later extreme sour fruit chews claimed to be quite sour now it's 20 20. we know what sour is supposed to taste like so there's watermelon sour cherry and sour apple even though it kind of looks like just watermelon and apple sour and watermelon i feel are like the best combo so we're gonna try her out in the 1960s this was totally spectacular they say that the 60s babies are boomers now right bless the boomers this was their candy when my dad watched the first video of this he was like can you make a video on what boomers ate for candy i think we're there i think this is the boomer candy do they find this sour oh no i hate when the packaging gets stuck to the gummy when i was a kid and this used to happen to me i uh actually didn't mind eating the paper i was just so impatient i was just like well there's paper on there i don't know a little paper never hurt nobody it's a really fun consistency it's like gum but it's not gum it disintegrates it's not very sour i can see living in the 60s and like compared to the candy they had 1890 to 1950 this is definitely the most sour thing yet but it's not like extreme and the watermelon flavor not very good i don't know if you guys are old enough for this but like tutti frutti it tastes the way i feel tutti frutti would smell this is so good jelly tots it says since 1881 here which would make it the oldest candy but i guess these really popped off in the 60s i used to beg my mom to take me to london drugs and i'd be like yo we need those jelly tots there's just something special about the way they taste most candy has a very i would say putrid aftertaste but jelly tots taste so good from beginning to end that even my child palette was like this is delicious these got discontinued and i could not find them there's lemon lime blackcurrant orange and strawberry there's everything you can eat like who would make a blackcurrant whoever thought of jellytoss is a genius this is a 10 out of 10 candy since 1960 if you've never tried jelly tots you gotta i might be hyping them up too much but they are objectively sweet as candy this seems like an ad but like i really like them hey welcome to the 70s what do you think el bubble you survived you did it we were really good with our camera work back then welcome to the 70s i was considering doing my hair like all out like the 70s but i'm sure some people had straight hair back then too it's the summer in the 70s and wow strawberry filled gums okay my dog just farted in the midst of the 70s disgusting oh also the bell bottoms are out pretty cool pretty comfy strawberry filled gums like how fun is that this is i think our first candy throughout the decades where like we have a beautiful strawberry that is like filled to the brim with strawberry juice it's more like jelly yeah this is like artificial but it's artificial in a good way like it's well rounded i love the cute little like dots in it if i was a kid in the 70s this is all i would need just delicious jelly center there's not a single real flavor in here but that being said they really popped off in the 70s with this one wow this here she's grover rooney she is a pop rock dip so it's like a sucker that you dip into pop rocks which pop when you eat them and it comes with a tattoo we're going for rebellion here okay we're going for counter culture and what could be more counter culture at the time than a temporary tattoo i wonder what they would have thought of me for my tattoo probably would have been like ew it's so funny how times are changing and we gotta work our way up to regular tattoo tattooidge with a beautiful temporary tattoo that is stuck in the candy look at this it's like a screaming skull dude so some of the tattoo like didn't really fully pull off but i mean it's been bathing in candy for what year so can't expect too much i'm gonna put it right here how long did you do this when i was a kid i would just do it for as long as possible because like i loved temporary tattoos and i just wanted it to be on me forever and i thought that the longer i held this the longer it would stay on but apparently that kind of ruins it so oh it's dripping all over me i was like is l bubble licking me no it's just dripping all over the place why not enjoy our snack while we wait i didn't know pop rocks were this old suck on this sure looks like one it's very faint it tastes like a perfect coca-cola bottle with like an ambiguous pop rock flavor it's not cherry it's not strawberry it's not blueberry it's just sugar popping sugar that's pretty rad tacular i like that how long were you in prison for 17 years i would get this you would make fun of me yeah well it's always going to be the 70s to me everlasting gobstopper do you remember watching willy wonka and then they're like eating these gobstoppers that like last forever like wasn't that the most magical scene i mean it was for me like i was like wow a candy that lasts forever and like these pups they last they last a while and i don't like jawbreakers and that's essentially like the format of this like if you cut it in half there's like all the different layers of flavor so it keeps giving you surprises and it takes forever to eat everything inspired by willy wonka tastes really good i don't know if that is no coincidence but like this candy the dudes in the lab were like this has to bang and it bangs it's groovy it's rad tacular it's spooktacular it's doodoodacular yeah led zeppelin bottlecaps 1972 made by willy wonka himself i've actually never had one of these apparently they popped off terry here just said that they're amazing i can't wait oh these look like trash these look like powder candy i hate powder candy i hate rockets they explode in your mouth no they do not 10. shut up nine you gotta be kidding me eight seven stop it i'm trying to keep the p five four three two oh oh these are really good i told you it's a little fizzy this tastes exactly like cola like it's really good my favorite candy ever was discontinued i think in the late 90s it's called so delicious soda sensation so so delicious and i was like where will i ever find that taste again that flavor look no further than this except so delicious we're gummy candies and this is hard candy so not as good but like hey i could eat a lot of these root beer cherry grape cola and orange this is a good roster of flavors sometimes you get like some crappy flavors in there like you know when you get like the yellow gummy candy and you're like i don't know about that but like this is like all good it's all the hits because usually orange is like a crappy flavor if it's like fruit flavored but orange soda bangs as my dad always says that's her that means it's done that's like their slang from the 70s that's her you're thirsty do you have enough moolah to go pick up uh hot wheels i'm a boomer i don't know hello it's the 80s and i've lost control of my life got this tattoo in the 70s we'll never forget this is so tacky i just absolutely ooh this era i thought the 90s well i mean we'll see the 90s but i thought that was bad this is pretty bad but the candy the candy is just like my outfit the push pop can you believe it i used to like go to blockbuster whenever my parents wanted to go rent a movie and i was like please can i have a push pop please i want one so bad like how fun is this packaging how fun is the opportunity to just now the problem with push pops the fatal flaw that no kid ever thought of because why would you you're just a little kid you push it up you suck on it you put it back down you put the lid in and then your spit mixes with the sugar makes a really sticky topping and it adheres to the push pops you have to like and like my friends in the early 2000s had to get their dads to hit this thing with a hammer to dislodge their push pops because you had to be able to go to school like this oh who me i'm just you know got my candy on deck strawberry flavor one of the best ones you can get the flavors are really improving the artificialness of it is melding with it trying to not be artificial and the flavors are getting better it's gonna go back in here i'm gonna put the lid on and this thing's never coming out of here again that's just the way it works this was the next best thing to the push pop the ring pop these came out in the 80s can you see like the trends how candy is evolving the flavors are evolving the gimmicks are evolving and now we wear candy as a ring and look how beautiful this thing is isn't it stunning it's an activity an accessory a pastime a hobby you could like collect all of the different kinds of ring pops i would wear a pink ring pop with my friends and be like i'm the pink power ranger this is how i get my power yeah you know really fun oh blue raspberry watermelon what a fantastic combination of flavors okay really can we chill for a minute artificially flavored yes but it's the best kind of flavor like this flavor awakens a child's senses and no wonder kids like didn't want to eat healthy because like there's nothing in the real world that happens in nature that would taste this good very nice like when these first came out i bet kids were like it's a ring that my grandfather got me leave my ring wow what we just viewed there was the cutting edge this is more um a cow tail a caramel apple cow tail really fun flavor profile unlike hard candy this is soft this is a different journey the outer area is caramel the inside is supposed to be the apple flavor chewy caramel wrapped around a cream center so it's apple cream it tastes exactly like a caramel apple but i just had a ring pop like what do you want me to do it's not as good that ring pop took me to another dimension whereas this is worldly this is as good as worldly can get 1980s you got some candy you can really set your watch too it's the 90s i got the choker i want you to note that this says kickers on it because for some reason people wore text on their little tank tops and i don't know what that kind of stuff meant or said i've got the belt buckle on the side and shoved in here because for some reason everything we did in the 90s looked really really bad but we did it anyway i'm not supposed to be wearing high-waisted jeans in the 90s but i'm just really not comfortable right now like doing what the 90s girls did and like to have my belly hanging out we've got nerds rope this is a candy rope covered in nerds i guess they were trying to find an equally fun delivery system in the 90s for nerds because you know there are classic everybody loves them i see these on a lot of candy channels like these are actually having a moment right now like they're quite popular and i've never actually had one before the nerds are flying off the everywhere that is very sweet it's a berry gummy covered in nerds it is so sweet as a kid i would love it but like oh yeah nerds are always delicious i feel like this is overkill i feel like the delivery system of it is just way too much it does suggest that you tear and share i highly recommend that if you're about to have one of these because all this for one kid you got to be out of your mind too much these are a classic i distinctly remember going to baseball games with my dad and begging for these caramel apple pops it is like a green notoriously hard to get out of the package the package is completely stuck to the caramel it's like soft chewy caramel on a hard candy green apple sucker very artificial tasting yes but very very delicious and for a kid like the mix of the two textures together like it's just my mouth is like watering so much like he's thinking about it yeah right because it's like so sour your mouth just starts watering you're like in the 90s they really got the sour candy going the nerds here were way more sour than the nerds i've had in the past and this is like this is very sour i get why i like them they're very good we've had all sorts of candy gimmicks this candy the unicorn pop has its very own urban legend rumor has it that this sucker is made by actual unicorns ew that is just not good remember the suckers you get at the dentist that just weren't good that's a scary sucker yeah yeah they did what were they thinking the dentists also gave me chokers in the 90s the perfect stereotypical 90s chokers but i don't have one because like i'm trying to forget that time in my life this tastes like so artificial it sickens me it says here that this is made only using the finest ingredients like what does that even mean it says they're individually wrapped isn't everything individually wrapped yeah it says that these are made by real unicorns who live in candyland we don't know if this is true but just imagine if it was this is so bad that you have to imagine that it's good we've been on quite the journey of sour but we've never seen a package with a crying kid on it this crying kid is named crybaby these are his tears they're so sour they make this poor little blonde boy cry i mean it's the 90s we're getting pretty advanced back then like the candy industry i think had fully taken over i was watching like crazy stuff on tv the ads were insane so much candy so many cool toys let's see we'll make even the sweetest and toughest sour candy lover cry like a baby are you up to the challenge don't look like i'm crying you look like you're disappointed it's not good it's definitely like making my mouth water because it's so sour but it's not like sour you know what i mean she was a skater boy she said see you later boy it's the 2000s i'm wearing this horrible i mean hey at least there's a skort right squirt and chain pretty cool first thing we're going to look at in the 2000s is the candy money i've never seen this before yeah candy money for the kids edible money this kind of looks like to me to be like yen or something you know they have like bigger denominations of money funny money it's called you know you've always wanted to do it now you can eat your funny money apparently there were some conversations i missed out on in the 2000s about eating your funny money i just want to eat my bunny money whoa that's not funny that is not funny at all what the potato starch vegetable oil emulsifier flavoring sweetener why does it taste like cardboard look at this yeah pockets looking funny when you got that funny money that's edible but it's not good now instead of like gimmicks with the flavor to back it up we're looking at straight gimmicks now rubik's cube cube candy cube wait are you sure that's candy yeah wait you just open her up there's gum in it it's not a rubik's cube you can solve it's a good way to like you know make it seem like you're kind of a nerd but you just got candy in here this would be a really good place to like hide stuff maybe that's like what most of the cost was is this no dude no hopeful the 2000s it was very dry wasn't it it was a fun time to grow up like we had y2k we were freaking out we had britney and christina but all our candy was pretending to be something else we were all pretending to be something else this tastes like a banana's butt i remember the time in the 2000s i tried an e-fruity mini burger for the first time yet another gimmick is it the best tasting candy you're ever gonna have no but it looks like a burger and it's really fun to eat the point of candy in the 2000s was to take something to school that would make the other kids jealous with this you could take off the different layers and like show it to people it was a toy as much as it was candy you're seeing a pattern in the 2000s here toy candy that's what we're getting and like this doesn't taste anywhere near as bad as the candy money or the rubik's cube candy it's actually pretty good i like it as far as nostalgia goes when i saw another kid on the playground with one of these i lost it i was like where did you get that what is that and they were like uh it's candy spray and i was like where did you get it they were like the gas station i went home i wrote in my diary about it i was like dear god please give me candy spray like it was blasphemous it really was like i wanted candy spray so so badly like just the idea of like the for some reason this delivery device absolutely captivated me oh it's so good blue raspberry this is very very sour my mouth is watering so much right now from the sour that i can barely talk a very fun way to make friends you know what i mean like if you had one of these and you were just kind of like bragging you're like like someone else would be like oh can i have somebody like it was very unsanitary whole crowd will come around and just like it was just ah so good it is so sweet but you just get a little coating of it on your tongue candy spray in the 2000s is one of the most brilliant and genius candy innovations i've ever seen so much so that i wrote in my diary about it so much so that we didn't live by an esso gas station and i was like dan you have to take me an sop and like i'd always be like dad like you need some gas or what huh and you'd be like yeah there's a shell here and i'd be like no we gotta go to esso i gotta get the candy spray i've seen her type before she's at 2010. she's a 2010 girl yeah yeah so this is uh how i would have dressed in 2010 if i was a girly girl however i was emo and i just wore uh vans and american apparel but some things never change we've got the slush puppy lollipop with powder candy kids like dip in the lollipops and some sugar and slush puppies was a very popular slurpee brand we call them slurpee some people call them slushies i remember being at the public pool once and these chads were like how embarrassing would it be for my reputation if i got a slush puppy and i was like why you gotta be so serious huh just to date the pool notoriously hard to open wow that really smells like a blue slurpee i guess these are the guys who made them so they crystallized the slushy flavor ew no one can make a sucker right though the powdered sugar candy part of this very cute the fact that it looks like a slurpee very cute when you close it look at that like that is pretty cool the gimmicks hey i just can't believe it it's so creative it's so unique and you know i talked about handy spray a lot in the 90s and the 2010s they want some too this tastes like a melted slurpee really flat it just tastes like the syrup like part of what makes slurpees so good is like the ice as like a carrier even though i liked the other candy spray the other candy spray was so sour that it kind of justified being served in small doses this is just syrup that you squirt into your mouth and i'm just not a fan 2010 had loads of surprises like this sour ooze oozing with great taste i feel like i saw these kicking around in the 90s this is 2010. maybe they upped the portion for 2010 because this is way too much ooze for one kid if my kid wanted a ton of candy i'd get them candy spray honestly candy spray is like a good amount this you're gonna be sick so much plastic and this is a weird way to eat candy it's good it's like the inside of a gusher like when you bite into a gusher except it's just the insides it's perfectly sour to justify how sweet it is it needs to be like sweet and salty or sweet and sour because if it's just sweet it like gives you a headache it does kind of taste like a very very artificial like strawberry scent or like a cheap candle but like pretty good i like it because of how sour it is ew we call these rockets in canada they're called smarties in the states these disgusting powdery gross like candies and apparently they made a squeeze version of this i can't imagine something more horrifying imagine like just like liquid chalk with like a hint of artificial color and there's no sourness like i can already tell how this is gonna go and i don't think i'm gonna like it squeeze candy popular in 2010 please be translucent okay thank god i thought it was gonna look like chalk oh that's kind of good the grains of sugar in here are so big that it kind of has like a sandy jelly consistency did you ever have that gum in a tube and it kind of like was grainy a little bit and then you chew it that's exactly what this is but it's not as good as the gum if you like rockets it gets smarties this might be your thing i can't it was so gross like it's good but like it's just not my thing what the heck is this so this is a toy egg stickers toys and strawberry candies they were really trying to meld toys and candy together they wanted to sell them both at the same time these whoa there's just a ton of stuff in here you got the old instructions don't eat this in every language uh what is this a whistle imagine giving this to your kid and then they just walk around like hey mom when's dinner you would have to take this away from them so fast this is how cairns are made you give your kid this once you're never the same again after we got some stickers in case the kid wants to put them on their binder or on the living room wall or on the carpet on the hardwood floor you encourage them to put it on their duo tanks you know it's going to end up all over the toilet and we've got the strawberry candies this is the amount of candy you're getting they better be good i really want to do a video on like the candy vending machines like that have this kind of stuff and just kind of like assess the value like in what you're getting because they were everywhere at one point but anyways okay strawberry candies raw carb very little flavor it's just rotting my teeth that's all it's doing i'm gonna try to bite through it because i'm not getting any flavor got it getting flavor now nope welcome to 2020 we're in the 2020 uniform and not a lot of stuff happened in 2020 however the anniversary edition of the haribo haribo haribo the gummy candy came out with the passport mix implying that we're all traveling around the world with our passport mix but we aren't really traveling we can in fact eat gummies at home they're just trying to celebrate how unified they are in every country and i thought that was kind of cute you know we need to feel more unified look at the little crocodile where do you think he's from florida we got the crocodile we got the coke we got the was that a live wire got the cherry got the other live wires airplanes huh not able to take one of those in a while got a gummy bear it's interesting how they call this the passport mix i guess hey it's the favorite flavors from around the world so it's haribo's 100th anniversary this is quite good it's quite topical since we can't travel right now we might as well enjoy the favorite gummies across the world now this one looks the best to me so i'm going to try it oh these guys do make good gummies when you need a little pick-me-up have some of these that's it for this video evolution of candy throughout the decades this is part two the final part if you guys would like to see me do an evolution of something else then let me know what that is i hope you guys enjoyed this video if you'd like to see me again make sure you hit push notifications and i'll see you on the next one bye [Music] you
