Candy Evolution Throughout History

Hello, I'm Cartago and welcome to sweets through the decades. My partner Charlie Chaplin is not here today. He's on a date, but with that being said, let's start with the sweets they ate in the 19th century. Let's begin hello and welcome to the 19th century, specifically 1890. it's my oh okay, they're going to throw me in the trash for indecent exposure anyway welcome, welcome to our ranch we're starting with nico wafers this is the original wafer la recipe First wafer that Oliver Chase made to pioneer the US

candy

industry, I don't really know what a wafer is and one of the flavors is clove.

They definitely phased out the clove. This is what people ate. People were like, Wow, I can't get enough. I can not get enough. Your love. Bye bye. I think I just received it. clove flavor why would you make purple clove flavor? They're so dry maybe it's lavender it's clove okay wait let me see what kind of flavors I have lemon live clove chocolate let's see what the white one is licorice they all taste the same. Just a piece of pure sugar like this is the kind of thing you can feel is damaging your teeth. I hated them when I was younger.

My parents gave me

candy

chalk that you would like to draw on the sidewalk and then take a bite of something not very sanitary and this is exactly what it tastes like since 1847 this is like the idea that people have of candy these things are sold like hotcakes people were obsessed with it people were like oh I traded my horse for some of those original candy wafers those are absolutely delicious. Turns out I hate them. Kartha Gurt knew rock candy was old, but not that old. The first time I went to a place called Heritage Park, which focused on the pioneers of Alberta, Canada, they sold a lot of this stuff and I.

I never loved them, but isn't she pretty? It's absolutely stunning. You make a solution in a glass of water which is mainly sugar, you put the stick in it and this becomes very cheap to make and if they were popular in the past I could have made a killing the costs of this must have been low whoa your mouth it's so green it's already very good good it just tastes like sugar oh my god it's okay it looks like I just made out with Shrek so obviously candy in the 19th century was a bit dry and someone came to our beautiful coast American to mix things up a bit, look no further than the Germans, what's that pretzel bread?

These are the hk anderson peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets, now it looks like fun to eat the other two. that we had before were very, you know, sweet, this is a good mix of sweet and salty, these guys knew what they were talking about or they tried something, oh that tickles me, just a pilgrim on an iPhone, this is part from what it started. the tradition of the American pretzel sandwich like these things have

history

a nice crunchy salty peanut butter um what were you talking about huh okay hey kids this is the last one from 1890. the cane mint roll these came in some flavors, including root beer and mint? cinnamon I guess people really like mints and this is something I've never really understood.

I like the combination of chocolate and mint, but just mint. Do you think people these days realized how much this would harm their health? teeth I was expecting a mint whiskey but it's like a hard candy like a hard sugar candy now these were very popular and still around to this day 2020 so maybe they are good it's just a mint it just tastes like those mints what you get when you eat in a restaurant and there are like mints in your wallet that's exactly what this is some things never change definitely mint hasn't changed the interesting thing about mints is that it really seems like it's going to freshen your breath but I find that the combination of sugar and mint makes your breath worse over time, unless you're chewing on one all day, in which case you'll rot your teeth.

I don't think it's going to help, so I don't really know what the use of these is. Don't know. like them, we've moved from 1890 to 1900 and, uh, my shoulders are off, I don't know if this was appropriate at the time, but it's the most interesting thing about these different sweets over the decades. The tricks are starting to appear and these wax bars are definitely an example of feeling very waxy. I don't know if I like that, if I take a bite of this it will just come out, don't unwrap them or anything like that. Just no, you take a bite and suck it with grandpa on the porch, what the hell?

It's runny inside, it tastes like kool-aid, there's like runny kool-aid in here if I was a kid, I would have loved this. It's a hit of sugar, oh, very, very sweet, the red tastes like you suppose it would as cherry. I really want to try this blue because blue is my favorite candy color. It really squirts when you bite into it, don't you get it? don't you dare it's so sweet if you want to try this make some jello don't put it in the fridge and just drink the water because that's what this is oh man dentists must have had a field day back then, like a real picnic. and the problem with this is the dentist used really crazy tools, even when my dad was a kid he was scared of the dentist so I can't imagine what a cavity would have done to you back then, what does blue taste like? like blue blue tastes like blue red tastes like red like it just tastes exactly like you would assume like very artificial and very sweet like pure kool-aid in these wax bars like it's just water here it's just marketing you know what I mean oh look at the colored sticks, the food coloring, yes well now we have a lot of them, yes we do, oh my god you could only buy it in bulk it was cheap but I don't know who will eat those sticks maybe when is the next time.

When Halloween comes around, you might say, Hey, you want some sticks, it's the year 1900. The Americans had to say the Germans had to say and now the British want some. This is made with natural colors and flavors, but this reminds me a lot of those. things that grandmothers have in a bowl at home that no one wants to eat those look pretty good not bad pretty good in fact which one do you choose I'm going for the purple one the purple nurple I was expecting it to be bad it's very good so they say that the children and adults like this, it tastes like a ball of hardened icing and when you bite into it it's like it explodes in your mouth, I can't explain what the taste is, there's spirulina in this, hmm definitely. uh, altered recipe from the other one, yeah, it has to be spirulina, wow, I like how it says a pound, it just feels very authentic, I feel like this one will have roots or flavor, try it's like chocolate, this one tastes like a tootsie roll.

Of these have very different flavors from each other, while many of the sweets we had previously tasted the same, there is also one covered in sugar that looks a bit like jelly and tastes exactly how you assume it would taste, it's like melting. in your mouth sweets here and there there's like a little jelly sandwich in case you get tired of the rest the brits just came out let's see if they're going to do it again these are taverns excellent british sweets these look like the original wine gums made in 1900 ooh look at this little picture on the back with these two kids and their dog that's how it makes you feel like it's a family business, will we eat their gum and like all the different gums they have? like a different shape like a phone booth like a soldier like you know the guys who wear hats.

What's really interesting to me about these weapons is that there are targets. I'm always interested in white flavor gum because I feel like it tastes like berry ice cream, that could be my 2020 flavor palette, actually my 90s flavor palette, oh girl oh the British make you fight for it Oh, it's a crown, it tastes exactly like wine gum, it's really good, my British friends love them so much. So I taught myself how to like it. I did the same with salty licorice. Really good. We're done with 1900. 1910. Now it's 1910. And what do you get if you mix marshmallow with graham cracker and chocolate?

Mooncakes. I did not do it. I know these go back to 1917. People were just trying to be inventive. People were trying to differentiate their products. There is the chocolate one and the vanilla one. I've actually never had one of these before, but it looks like a pile. of pancakes, it has a kind of Krispy Kreme donut-like outer layer that looks like it's going to melt, I guess there's marshmallow in the middle. This is a very filling dense snack, oh god it's like Krispy Kreme but better, it's like biting into a fat stack of pancakes man, the mooncake person must have made an absolute killing, like imagine there's like hard candy and like that rock candy on a stick and then you're like, guess what, I'm actually going to die, it's so much sugar, but like we can assume the chocolate one is probably pretty good, it has the same frosting as the vanilla one and they're way better than I thought, but I'm biased because I like anything with graham crackers in it, gorgeous.

I'm literally going to have a sugar hangover, so I'm trying to drink water, but we're still in the 1910s, okay, we have mooncakes, very imaginative, inventive, these guys are taking the old route and I think it's because that these guys aren't at every gas station I pass by, these are old fashioned hard candies from Clay's Candy from 1919 and I thought it was funny because one is root beer. I didn't know the flavor had been around for so long. long, the other one is sassafras, which I don't know what it is, but it seems like a very old-fashioned word, like pass me that sassafras candy, oh dear, oh my gosh, okay, oh, I mean, I guess these guys said it seriously when they said. hard candies, which are hard candies, usually when I see a sugar coating like this I assume it will be very bitter, so it's very strange that it's not bitter, it definitely tastes like root beer, although I will eat this forever .

I don't like. I eat jelly beans because it's like you eat it and then you eat another one, but this stuff just stays in your mouth, the sugar just stays in your mouth, you know, when you have very bad breath in the morning it's because, at Just like your mouth, your saliva becomes a little bit more acidic overnight, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and that's why you have bad breath. I think this is like, oh, the idea of ​​something sitting in my mouth for so long, like it's marinating in my saliva, like it makes me want to throw up.

I'm going to try sassafras, oh, come out, cuties, and there she is, that's sassafras and I'm going to eat one of these sassafras candies and I'm going to try to look up what sassafras is because I don't know, I like how it says on the packaging here like if you like our root beer flavor oh my gosh you're going to love sassafras it looks like a herb of some kind it's a leaf but there's also fruit the dangers of sassafras okay buddy let's stop like I know to a car that has been stopped. for too long and like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time and like it's starting to smell stale, like this tastes stale when the old candy is fine, I can't even look at it when it came out when I first licked it.

I was like I wish it was sour, it seems like it has a sour coating and I feel like these guys in the 1910s charms were like, you know what sour? Good idea, so these are sour candy balls. I have a feeling that they are going to be hard as a rock, but I can live with it if it is bitter, there has to be something fun about it and bitter is a lot of fun to me, so this better be really bitter, but I don't know if people from the 1910s really like it. He knew how bitter we like it, that it's not bitter at all, it's like a breaker, do you know where the bitter is?

This is as sour as the original chicken flavored ramen, it's spicy, it tickles my tongue a little, but not enough to go for a I had a good time, I'll keep the packaging. Everything is getting a little better, but I want to be impressed. Apparently a nut whip is eaten every few seconds in the UK. I don't know if that's true or if their marketing team just did that. above because I've never heard of a nut whip before but it looks different ok I'd like to take off all my nail polish trying to get these candies oh ok damn it's thick the center looks very marshmallowy , it has too much chocolate and too much marshmallow if I were a kid I would really like to go for that but carla googer is too old for that like pure marshmallow fluff oh so good chocolate although I will say I'm done with 1910. 1920 Here we go, this gold mine gum is the number one seller of gold nugget gum, I mean how many gold nugget gum are there, but apparently this is very nostalgic and many parents like their children to try it because apparently it's the best tasting gum ever and you can already see we're getting a little gimmicky here, that gimmicks are coming through capitalism, it's like having a field day, it's like, how can I Dress up this gum to make it look really unique in the 1920s?

I ate gum out of our burlap sacks. What are you saying? Some of these are larger than others. It tastes like banana. in your mouth like you want to eat a whole bite of this, if I was nostalgic for this, I would definitely give it tomy kids and I would brush their teeth very, very vigorously after my problem with this gum, is that it is not the kind of gum that you can blow bubbles with rather, you know, that type of low quality chewable gum, that is well, although here we have the sherbet fountain from 1925, is it a licorice stick that is dipped in a fizzy sorbet drink or is it a drink, I don't know, it's a candy, but that's how it's very supposed to be a fun experience and interactive twist to open oh okay so it's just powder and then you suck on the licorice there's enough for you oh honey that's not sour that's bad the powder is so fine it goes right down your throat, I really don't know like sherbet, sherbet, It just tastes like sugar, sugar, not really, I try it, the licorice interferes with the taste of the powder, like when you get a lot of powder and lick it. without taking too much licorice, you taste it, but this is not my cup of tea, oh, like the idea that you're going to be sucking on this all day and then putting it back in and then taking it out later and then. the powder gets like this, oh god, people weren't really afraid of their own bodily fluids these days, but I mean, I will say the flavor is very inventive, I mean, I feel like a lot of people would really like this, but like powdered sugar is so fine oh this is like the european calorie count and i don't know how to read this.

I'm sure there's a lot of sugar here. This is a Charleston chew. I feel like many of you. I've tried one of these before because I've tried one of these before, they're still very popular, but I've never noticed that on the bar it says "try it frozen" because it's a nougat delight, if you bite into it it's really like just I like a good chocolate like nougat, but charleston crack is supposed to be when it's frozen, it's supposed to be part of enjoying this bar here, I really enjoy it, although if you like nougat and you like chocolate, this It's your bar, no. it gets new it gets nougat the first time i had one of these i was like a little kid in fifth grade maybe going to an esso class and my friend bought one and i thought this is the ugliest packaging ever , why would you buy one of these? but then I tried it and I really liked it, it tastes like brownie and hot chocolate mixed together, it's like perfect chocolate and the bar is so good you get so much of it that there are certain things that are so old. as time and karthug would know that sugar daddys is definitely not an exception to that rule, sugar daddy is slow cooked caramel, apparently it is one of the most popular retro delicacies, I don't know if it is that popular because the taster if it is because of the name like haha ​​I bought you a sugar daddy you wanted one I guess we'll see it's wrapped in wax paper so the wax paper comes off very easily and doesn't stick to the candy but this is a great candy hit I I feel like some of the wax from the wax paper has left a little residue on the sugar daddy, but the sugar daddy by any other name would be just as sweet, he's a rock, ah, I'm not going to sit here sucking on a sugar daddy as if that were not so. happening, that's long cooked caramel corn syrup sugar whole milk whey and natural and artificial flavors and salt yeah, it's just lightly salted caramel it's just caramel, you know what I mean, I like sweet caramel, though it's As if it weren't so much fun, you can't bite this thing, I don't like it, abba zaba, you, my only friend, one won't work any better, buy two, this is a candy bar with apparently a sweet, creamy center, I'm pretty sure it's peanut butter. oh wow, this is awesome, it's clean, okay, I'm going to take a bite in the middle because I can see the peanut butter sticking out.

I don't love caramel, but it seems popular. Oh, it's soft, the caramel seems to be a delivery. device for very, very creamy peanut butter it's like the candy is keeping the peanut butter safe inside. I can see why its popularity has waned because it's just not really innovative. I'd rather eat like, you know, a salty crunchy pretzel with peanut butter. in the center I eat unflavored white sugar candy with peanut butter on the outside, what do you think? I don't know, I didn't expect it to be legit, it was just peanut butter, yeah right, it's just weird, some crazy guy did that.

Sweets come in all kinds of shapes and variations, but have you ever heard of chocolate broom? It's a broom. Because I do not know? I imagine in the 1920s saying, "Oh, I could use some candy," my husband being like that, honey. broom, ha ha, he got it, it's old moldy dark chocolate with a marshmallow center. I wouldn't be surprised if it was like one of the brooms left over from 1920. In 1925 you wanted to go see a movie, maybe a drive-in, I don't. I don't know when they started, but the goobers were always there. I feel like maybe calling your chocolate goobers isn't the way to go, it's not the work, but they're still here, they're still making them, so I hope goobers taste better than they sound.

It's a milk chocolate candy with dry roasted peanuts, oh, so it's like a shiny hat, but you don't pass them, the peanuts, it's a gloss, okay, I feel like peanuts, I don't give the next decade, welcome to 1930 and guess what we nerds did after The King of Sweets himself, Willy Wonka, they are delicious. I hope they are still as delicious as when I was a child. Share the love. Pull the tab here. Oh girl, how funny, you pulled out a little slide like: Do you want to have grape or, seriously, do you want to have strawberry? or do you want do you want both oh just if you're being naughty that night this is just cool and clever packaging the nerds come out yeah they're little sugar bombs but they have such a strong flavor they're so bittersweet they wake you up like I don't know how these little guys they like to have so much flavor, no artificial flavors and what did they put in here you idiots, how do you get this kind of flavor with dextrose, sugar, malic acid, corn syrup, natural flavors, karna uba wax, oh there is carmine? so nerdy, 1930's.

This is when the candy really starts to pop, you know what I'm saying, in the 1920's we understood that goobers didn't work very well, so a lot of crunching became synonymous with movies back then. I don't know if they are crunchy bars or actually a bunch of crunchies. This and silver screen go hand in hand and we all know what crunch tastes like, we know it's going to be good and we all know that anything is better than a chocolate covered peanut. honest, oh these are like little guys, they look like little poops, it's good, it's standard, it's not too surprising and it tastes a bit old, we had sweet candies, sour candies coming into the picture now it's the spicy candies like bright red, the candy heart, a kind of candy inspired, cinnamon.

The taste that these little guys have, I mean we've all had them good, but we didn't know they existed for so long, but it makes sense that they would work according to this journey, it's like one of the oldest flavors, cinnamon, root, beer , mint, these are rockers. tough, I hate them, but I like it, if you like cinnamon and this is your deal, this is good if you want to have it in your mouth forever, take some time for this in the melts, the love hearts candy roll, tell someone you will love them. Today sweets are for lovers We are trying to inject sweets into every fiber of your being so that you spend your money on our sweets How do you open these things?

They look disgusting apparently Terry really likes them delicious how they just look like dust oh look talking about my girl my girl tastes like rockets I don't like rockets I can't handle this excuse me while I spit this out any dry candy I can't stand I'm going to have a buttered rum lifesaver while terry eats that buttered rum, today they wouldn't come out with that flavor, not for kids, but in the past, anything goes, humans like to test each other, we were just testing our limits in the old sweets sphere for a long time, butter rum had never done so. but it sounds good, that's just candy that's all, I like it, although I don't think you gave the love hearts enough time to marinate, I just took a bite and I liked the powder exploding in my mouth and Like I hate it, I never liked rockets, yeah, but they didn't taste like rockets, which are smartasses to people in the US, really, yeah, smartasses, guys, 40s, yeah, sweet lips, what lips wax, whatever, that's so stupid and they sold them for money. and they smell good like a candle, this is what I would look like with lip filler, what do you think is pretty good?

I actually think you can eat them, so I'm not sure if you can, I guess they are made. of wax and you're crazy, I mean, I think you could, but this is like wax wrapped around a baby bell. I'm sure it's technically edible and non-toxic, but I have no interest in eating this, but it smells really fun. sauces people really liked dipping sticks and sugar for a long time and this is just one of those things that I remember getting when I was little and it was like I got the craziest sugar rush I've ever known, you know, a stick I sucked it all day and then kept dipping it in sugar and then did it again the next day, not for me these days but I enjoy how easy and accessible it is to rip.

You have to wet it a little and submerge it. here I feel like when I was a kid it was more about the trick and experience of eating the candy more than how the candy actually tasted, it's just sugar and artificial flavor, it doesn't taste that good but it's the way you eat it it was very fun and appealing For me you know how they say that fashion is a feeling that I feel as a child who is very imaginative this is a very fun way to consume sugar wow you know why my sticks excite me I have never had emotions with gum before Why do you say that still tastes like soap?

Did this prepare children who wanted to curse their mothers by washing their mouths with soap? He says it tastes like rose water, but they have to claim that on the packaging. Listen. Kids, it still tastes like soap, you're going to love it, oh, no kidding, no, it's not good, oh, I can smell it good. Why buy a candle for the house when I can chew some of this and walk away? Oh, who does that? in this day and age cheeses, too bad, I hate cheeses, oh york mints, I actually really like these, but I don't think I can stand them right now, we know what they taste like, they're really delicious, it's like an after ape I just like sorry about that soap nah nah no no no imagine being born in this time be like eating your soap and then be like the next decade yeah 19 50. baby marilyn monroe let's do it try to comb my hair like she doesn't look like it and look at the back like hello, the popeye sticks in the popular 1950's popeye cartoon, the packaging hasn't essentially changed, they're like these little things and I used to like to, you know, pretend I was smoking with these things and then my mom put them away because They had pork gelatin, but I really enjoyed the flavor even though it has that sugary, chalky taste that a lot of these old candies like me have.

I found that they tasted pretty good. Want one. I remember saying quite a bit, yes, they hurt. I remember being quite distraught. When my mom said, "No, you can't eat Popeye sticks anymore." They're like marshmallows with a puff pastry layer dipped in pink coconut. This woman misses the fresh ones. Like I'm really grinding in the 1950s. they are very beautiful but I already know I'm not going to like them because the marshmallow filling is just oh wow oh it's a little too much for me the marshmallow is actually on the outside and this It looks like a sponge, the cake is very soft and fun to touch and play with, and it's pink, which is a big plus, and honestly, I like Mrs.

Freshly's routine and initiative, I like how she was, you know how I'm messing with sweets. cane too and there's nothing you guys can do about it, I hope she really exists because if not then my dreams will end with trash cans, yeah it's a fun way to eat candy out of the trash can, nothing like teaching them to your kids that eating out of garbage is exactly what you want to do, maybe as a marketing strategy, if you can't hide it, highlight it, yeah, yeah, when your parents say stop eating those garbage candies, you say, ah , it really is rubbish, huh, this was like preparing the children. to learn sarcasm, oh, okay, interesting, fish and bones, yes, fish and bones like little skeletons and fish bones, they are oh, there are shoes, they really stuck to their plan, well, these kids like to eat garbage , we will give them garbage, it tastes like fish but I like it more bitter and I really liked the fish, but the reason why I liked the fish and why I would have liked it more than this is because of the dispenser like you raise your head and then it comes out a little fish, it's a lot more fun than eating out of the trash this is a very big pixie stick inspired by willy wonka i never liked pixie stix i feel like if i were a father i would be like me, you have to get the academic excellence award for one of these puppies because you're going to be bouncing off the walls for hours and we wonder why we had sugar addictions for so long peach, that's good, that's really good, I like it, oh lady just, it's coming out, these are candy bars friends, wafer barsPeanut butter, I told you.

Mrs. Freshly said: I'm going to make a name for myself. 50's Marilyn Highway, move away, this is it here. Wow, look at these, they are huge. The value you get is that three years ago, yeah, why buy a chocolate bar when? You can get a lady it's fresh, ooh, it melts in your hands, I don't like that, it's a giant wafer bar with gigantic peanut butter, I already had enough peanut butter and sugar for one day, so they were sweet for decades from 1890 to 1950 and the next time. If you want to see it next time, I really want to do it from 1960 to 2020.

Candy becomes very interesting, just a little more exaggerated and it's fun to see how our interests change and marketing tactics evolve, I think. that the story of candy is very interesting because it's like what we did for recreation, what brings people together more than candy, especially children, you know, like on the playground, like I have dunkaroos, all the others wanted some and as if a girl had nerds, all of them. I would go ask him for some candy, something really fun, strange and addictive that kids like to participate in. I hope you enjoyed this video. If you want to see me again, be sure to hit push notifications and carthage.

See you next time, bye.
