Halloween Candy Evolution Throughout History | 1890-2021

Hi, I'm Carthaginian and this is Beau Bechet, he's late for a game right now, that's why he's looking away today, we're eating Halloween

candy

over the years, we've made the most popular

candy

for every year since the 19th century onwards and I wanted to know what they've been eating since the 1800s on Halloween, so from the 1800s, come on, okay, so rest in peace for my teeth. Candy is like, can you imagine, like being a child? And this is the best you can have. the 1800 like hey guys have some candy like it's sticking to the roof of your mouth you be sitting there like I really like the ones you make yeah that's why you had so many cavities so here we have the most iconic candy . of all time, well I would say it's the most iconic Halloween candy of all time, candy corn.

I don't know anyone who really likes this, but this Andrew likes it, no, no, yeah, he wait a second, look, look, he loves it. I have my little sweet corn, he has his big sweet corn, we will keep it away from him because it squeaks. The idea of ​​trick-or-treating has evolved so much over the years that you used to go and want cakes for the soul. if you were poor or a child you would want soul cakes because you wanted to eat their souls and celebrate death so it's always had a ridiculous meaning but this is really good it tastes like vanilla and the buttercream treats are really good.

Jujubes are also a classic Halloween staple. I can't believe they've been around for so long. Jujubes are really good. In fact, I'm going to choose purple because, um, my fifth grade math teacher used to give them to me. me and the whole class when we did something very well, so these have a beautiful and distinctive place in my heart. It's cheap to make candy like candy corn and it's just a solid gummy that has a plastic taste that fills your mouth like it has a very synthetic taste but it's good in the 19th century everything was stuck to these kids' teeth my teeth are candy coated ew candy oh no candy covered licorice gross I only like European like the Dutch shirt it's a Polish variety of licorice where it's like salty black licorice this is very um oh they look very cute but they will catch you and if you don't like licorice it's absolutely overwhelming it's offensive it's actually offensive did you know that 35 I think is something like 35 million?

They sell pounds of candy corn per year like the Halloween season look at these they are cute they are beautiful they are iconic like the little layers it is so beautiful I just don't understand why they called it corn it has nothing to do with it Making with it is like a gift vanilla and they're actually pretty good and I can see why this is definitely the kind of candy that you take to grandma's house and she says, would you like some candy? And you look at this and say. re like no no please oh god no where are the snickers please someone welcome to the 20th century as you can see a little bit better packaging because that's when kids really started To ask for sweets.

This is when the old tradition began to work. it really became what it is today and oh we have some disgusting options here. I can't believe who blooms the cherry trees. uh oh, even thinking about that, look at the way I like the cherries in the middle here and it gets so creamy. it's so disgusting this looks like surgery this is disgusting we have tootsie fruits and tootsie rolls people really like to rot their teeth down to the dirt here tootsie rolls you eat one you have dental floss like you've never used before in the 90's, I bought tootsie rolls on my Halloween.

I didn't always eat them all the way through when I was desperate and then when I ate them while I was desperate I thought they're actually kind of good, but they're not good when you have other options. I feel like I must have had one of these cherry blossoms before, but I must have repressed it or something because I have no memories, but like when I was a kid, if you like one of these, this is a really crazy portion, like this is a sugar bomb that's right, compared to my nose, it's as big as an adult's nose and a child's nose is that big.

I'll take a bite and show you the inside. It's hard as a rock. It's horrendous. I feel like I remember picking them up and just throwing them away. throw them away, yeah just throw them away, it really shows on the packaging, like there isn't much competition these days and I can't believe these are the most popular, like I'm a kid and these are the most popular. popular things like in 1910 it would be like get me out of here I don't like sweets 19 20. I can already tell just by looking here that in 1920 they started taking sweets a little more seriously and for that I thank them oh oh they really started taking seriously the candy the butterfinger this is a top-notch election right here the reese this is a top-notch choice I guess that's when the candy business started to really become a business the double bubble how many of you went to the baseball games and chewed so much double bubble and wondered why they couldn't exactly blow a big bubble with it even though it's called double bubble, have they?

That's just rude tiger pops, also known as the Mexican combo, this is an interesting fool because it has different flavors green, grape, red, strawberry and vanilla, considering all the interesting flavors that are supposed to be like mixing here, it just tastes stupid, tastes like one-dimensional stupid, I hate it. this here tastes oh he hates it too it tastes like raspberry car deodorant it smells not good butterfinger though we know this is like we know these are going to explode we've had them before whoa butter crispy yeah I forgot flaky this is like that, it is very flaky, very easy to bite.

I expected it to be a little hard to bite into, like sheet music, but it's overwhelmingly peanut butter. I'm going to choose a double bubble to cleanse my palate, it's very difficult. I bite and I have never been able to get good bubbles with this gum I'm like a cow chewing its cud what do you think you chewed so fast? I used to do puzzles in first grade and one of them was like I suck it until it's really soft and I thought what the hell is it that it was gum? I've never sucked gum until it's soft, although you almost chew it right, bubble time, that's double bubble for you oh 19 20 30 30.

Okay. I'm starting to see sweets that I recognize here, three musketeers. I guess it was a popular show back in the day. Crispy Crunch. This is another Halloween staple that I wouldn't eat all the way through because it was my least favorite, but. then when I started eating them I was like, you know what these pretty legit tootsie pops are? The worst popsicle in the

history

of mankind tastes like gasoline and then you chew the chewy middle and say, what did I just do? and then Hershey stepped in. I came on the scene and said, listen, we have creamy milk chocolate, remember that raspberry thing you were biting into, we have creamy chocolate, now there's no way I'm eating this.

I'm going to try the three musketeers. I haven't eaten sweets. bars in so long because I just don't buy them outside of twix and cookies and cream, so this is definitely like an adventure for me. I remember really liking the three musketeers it's so soft yeah it's like just chocolate yeah this is just like a hyperactive straight kid running around breaking things this is so sweet it shouldn't be legal yeah that's pretty gross mars and he laughs the rivals the rivals the girls come on the scene and start fighting they hate each other they start fighting like that Crazy, we have giggles like, you know, it has the three-minute musketeer center and then we have Mars with little nuts in there , wait, Mars doesn't have nuts, nevermind, there are no nuts there, we have Hershey's and I've heard that.

Europeans think our chocolate here tastes like vomit. I lost earwax because we use this acid in our chocolate that tastes like vomit, but I like the taste of vomit. I'm not going to lie, it's emetic like the aftertaste you get. It definitely fills your mouth and maybe that's why I don't like chocolate here like I do, but I don't go crazy for it like when I'm in Europe, so these are truffles from France that I and maybe they're like French people watching this , those aren't France's problems, but these are really like the chocolate is so good and it doesn't have that weird, aggressive sour aftertaste that overwhelms your mouth with that flavor, but no one gets this on Halloween, in fact, we're in the decade from 1930, these are your options and I would say if I were a boy, this is a pretty good haul, if I were a boy who didn't already hate sugar, that's a pretty good haul, kourtney. kardashian would have been really upset during all this moving on to the most popular candy in the 1940s.

Oh okay, we're getting legit now that we have excellent wonders, a movie staple, you just got these little baby wonders and they are delicious. I have the m ms also a classic like this everything is not just

halloween

food this is starting to integrate with the way we live our lives in society we go to the movies we go to the drive-in we get the wonders we get the m ms we get the points we go to the 25 cent machine we get the mint burger and then the rockets apparently um in the states they call them know-it-alls, which I find strange because the version of this without the peanut in the middle is a know-it-all that doesn't have a peanut in the medium it's like Eminem's but I think it's just Canadian that's what I just said I don't know there's no peanuts in mm although I do know but yeah no but I eat whatever actually these Mint burgers were one of my sweets Favorites growing up.

I always begged my dad for 25 cents so I could go buy these mint burgers. Look how beautiful it is, it has that wrinkled top and then when you bite into it, I took very little. take a bite because I wanted it to last and you have the mint cream center, it's perfect and then we have the pretty waffle, I don't know, maybe I just like things with white centers, you can only eat a few of these at a time. I need a damn glass of water. We all know they are absolute garbage. I don't even know how they still exist.

I don't know what's going on here and of course, Tootsie, Tootsie, did them, Tootsie, what are you doing? okay, please, someone think about children again, it's like another thing that's going to get stuck in your teeth, let's talk about trick or treating in the past, children used to say trick or treat, implying give me a prize or I'll vandalize your property and um, this right here is candy that you would definitely want to vandalize the property of the person giving it to you because this is not a gift, it's a trick, it's an absolute trick, it's the chewiest rock hard candy. with which you could combine it. a hammer nothing would happen none of that the hammer would break in half it would stay stuck in your teeth all night it doesn't even taste good it doesn't even it's not not good as expected let me just take a little bite it tastes like it's a shopping cart which had a hint of caramel and peanuts.

What a bad welcome to the '50s and '60s. This is where our boomer parents got into candy and in those days you really didn't want to do it. go to the dentist because their technology just wasn't what it is now to this day my dad is still terrified of the dentist because some bad things happen there he had his candy let's see what he was eating whoa these are goats this is delicious actually I liked them when I was a kid, they're like powdered popsicles, the flavor wasn't optimal, but I really liked the Spice Girls and I liked baby spices and she was always like sucking on a little popsicle and I felt like that.

It was the only one I could stand 'cause she always chewed, she was always stuck in the tootsie and I can't handle that crap, it's like rockets, yeah, it's like a rocket, cut out the know-it-all and look how beautiful. that is, it looks like a flying saucer that is like the perfect baby pink and the perfect baby blue, what a fun option, fresh and exciting, spicy, I love it, it's very spicy, it's like you know it, like those that dip those powders pixie, yes, it's fun. dip essentially this is like the fun dip powder but it's pressed so hard you can't even bite into it it's just fun it's cute it's pure sugar this is one of the few sweets here this one and the mint patties i can get behind the peanuts m m' Then you'll notice that in the 40's they didn't have peanuts, in the 50's they make Swedish fish, it's some kind of goat, Swedish fish, oh weird, I was hoping they were just red, it tastes like Swedish berry, which I enjoy.

I'm going to eat a tamale just because they are good, they have a lot of cinnamon and the problem with these is that they are not spicy, they are not spicy at all, they are like cinnamon, they are like a touch of spice, but it is not the kind of spice that lasts, You can eat a lot I don't know what's interesting. The great thing about fish is that it has an incredible delivery mechanism through the dispenser. It sounds like you and the dog are selling it on an infomercial. or something like that, but the thing is that the caramel on the bottom tastes so good that if I only have a little bit of fish filling, I will open them.

I made it last week, I'll open it and eat it. I don't know what they put, I don't know what kind of fairy dust they put in here, but it's very tasty and look how cute these little knots are. I can't imagine a world without fish, they're beautiful, they're tasty,They are so good, this is a delicious candy, okay, the '60s, the '50s, it's been the first year so far that I haven't been a projectile. vomiting at the idea of ​​let's see what's good about the 60s, we go from hot tamales to mike and ike starbursts, a classic, a favorite, I always threw them away when I was a kid, tips that I would change as if many people liked the starburst and I would like it a lot. tips, so I exchanged a lot of caramel it is one of the most delicious chocolates ever, the caramel in it is absolutely delicious, all of these I approve, this is when the caramel starts to come off, this is when the teeth start to rot, but The good thing about this is that none of these except the starburst will stay stuck in your teeth for an extended period of time and I think that's why I didn't like starbursts, but overall I would say that the 60s know what What are they.

Making this is a delicious treat. I have nothing but regret in my soul that the previous years made me want to vomit because I just can't even, maybe I should get rid of this, yes, I like the microphone and x. because you get five different flavors of the same candy I like variety I don't like eating the same thing all the time and that's why what are spicy tamales? They drove me crazy because they didn't have all these different fun flavors. to choose from but I'm only going to eat the red and the pink these are legit they're good they're tasty I think it sucks to have an adult palette when you get past the stage where there's more to life than sugar and chicken strips too much of this feels very flat and uninspired get this out of here the 70's are a wonderful time I already feel liberated I feel like I'm going to hide in some field somewhere and eat this candy listen to my oh You start getting the potato chips that are Halloween candy like I'd love to have a bag of chips in my Halloween candy because it breaks up the uh, old sweetness nicely, brings back the pops, the Reese's pieces, the sour apple, and the artificially flavored bold letters.

Lucky for us kids. Don't read the fun dips, it's okay so you can see how you can see all the marketing really comes into play here. The wonder bar is called the star bar in the US, the sodas that, like these, weren't sodas. I don't know who came up with this. idea like it's a great concept, but this isn't even those things really, yeah, they were actually fizzy, yeah, try one, okay, it just tastes so artificial, we got the laffy taffys, gross poppy, oh poppin, candy, pop, rocks, baby, one of the best candy. known to man, I like how these actually do something in your mouth unlike these damn fizzy things oh okay thanks warheads, I was actually always afraid to have them when I was a kid because I was afraid they would hurt me, they are intimidating.

Like at recess people say I eat warheads and I would say okay I have this trigger in fact if someone says oh you probably wouldn't like that it actually bothers me and I'm pretty sure one guy said Well, You probably wouldn't like the warheads and instead of going I'll prove you wrong. I was like yeah, I mean, maybe you're right and then I just never liked trying them so I'm going to try one right now oh you. I can tell from the outside that there is this coat on the outside, it's probably very bitter, it gets better after a few seconds oh, the kid was right, it was too bitter, it doesn't get better, ah, how similar do I look to this guy?

You actually have to be crazy, these are a staple, this is one of the most popular candy, I swear, kids like kids, they're crazy, they like to do crazy things that don't make any sense, okay, the French fries, we know them. slap the Reese's pieces we know they slap the ring pop I have a feeling it's going to be contrived and horrible oh god I'd rather die oh it's got gum in the middle girl you have to suck for hours that's what she said I'm not doing this , give me a hammer, no, no, no, oh, she went hard as a rock.

I can't get it. Welcome to the smell of 80's trick or treating. My feet give me something good too. Popcorn. This was popular idiots, oh we have. nerds nerds are one of the best candy known to man, the taste of these is better than fish, they are fantastic, so the taste of these 80's kids, the sour patch kids, unreal skittles, uh, to each their own , I hate them, okay? the shitty ring pops we got in the last tour of the 70's became ring pops, they were so popular this is what they became, they actually taste great, it's not like we're not sitting here eating jujubes, okay , we're sitting here drinking The ring pops this weird popcorn.

I don't think I've ever had popcorn as a Halloween treat. I like ring covers because there are so many ways a child can play pretend with this, like you can pretend you're married. You can pretend that these are gems like this, they're not just like a disgusting artificial blueberry like the kind of thing they made in the 40's, this is like a really nice blue raspberry, the flavors are amazing, even like popcorn with Cheddar cheese, nerdy sour patch kids sound like everything. Here, the 80s are when flavors reach excellence in sweets. Alright welcome to the 90s I'm a 90s kid so I feel good yeah first of all fuzzy peach amazing push pops oh I would have killed someone for one of these.

I was a kid sprung well, why were candy so trash before the 90's? I guess I was born in the right generation oh baby bottle pop baby bottle pop it's good it's like a ring pop and then you dip it in the powder but it's like a bottle it's interesting a lot of mouths were stained red in those days , we had the jolly ranchers, idiots, new gum, there had to be a drawback, like there had to be something that made people throw up the gum, this was more of a recess snack than Halloween candy, but I I would have loved to buy it.

Swedish fish turned into Swedish berries, much more appetizing than if it were shaped like a fish. Mr. Big would eat these last few sweets at worst, everyone has to have one. really good, try it now, it's good, but they are not mini rice crispy squares, I go crazy, I have these, yes, I go crazy, they are absolutely delicious, original too, no, don't put things in them, they are them. They're fine on their own, some things are better if you don't try to mess them up, maybe a drizzle of chocolate is fine, but when people like ham too much with their rice krispies, it's not good, now let's try this Mr.

Pig, Mr. great, it's delicious. the inside is nice and chewy it's really good I think I confused them too much with oh henry and I hated oh henry the 2000s I'm a little worried because the 90s candies were so tasty so delicious the taste is so perfect. which I feel like that's why I ate too much candy as a kid if I grew up in the 1900's it would be like this it's horrible but wow this is when the twizzlers really came about this is like when you liked the rich people in the neighborhood and they like to give you the big candy, they're like you like twizzlers, bang cheetos, sour skittles, I don't like regular skittles, but sour skittles can be very delicious.

The jolly ranchers stopped playing with hard candies, I mean they still made hard candies, but you also liked the soft one, which is a good choice because I prefer soft starburst candies, yuck, Hershey's, do you have a dream? They call it cookies and cream. I loved the cookies and cream. Look how beautiful this bar is at the top. She looks a little bored. Look at the back though, look at the back, yeah, delicious, 2010, this is when the kids took it too far, the candy starts going crazy, slushy puppy, they're like you like our slushies, guess what, bang twizzlers, you liked our fruit flavors, well here you go. strawberries and cream cream orange and cream orange and cream airheads that's nice I never had these in the 2000s soft filled bites oreo lost their minds oreo mixed with cow's milk I was eating some of these the other day at my friend's house , they're delicious and then they started mixing m m's with reese's, okay, this is when everyone's like, you gotta kill these kids, what's this, that's quick, excuse me, okay, what's this? okay twizzlers lost their likes their stock went up or something giant nerds okay we need to take a look at these giant nerds what I like about nerds is how small they are I feel like this would be too overwhelming Oh my gosh, it's like a nerdy bark with a soft, chewy interior, these are just real fruit gummies, I don't know anything about licorice, okay, okay, so one of my favorite things in elementary school is spray of candy, but I never had a fire extinguisher, he says. super bitter, not that it tastes very synthetic, oh, what is this juicy gum, sweet gum and sour gel, what, oh, okay, so, oh interesting, the interesting thing about this is that it has like a little dot in the middle where you can put the gel, is that something like that?

Great, bon appetit, it's really fun, fresh and exciting, yes it tastes very artificial, but the gel is very acidic. The strawberry hint you get is crazy and was fun to use. Now I also want to try these because apparently they are super rare and You're super new, look at these, it has the little orange cream and orange cream center, you're glad they filled it with cream. I'm, this is the cream flavor for a tea, like not only was it inspired by it, if you like creams and you're not stuck. If it's cold, this is definitely your option, welcome to 2020.

Don't get your hopes up, you probably won't get these candies on Halloween, but there's so much repetition in candy that not many things change in the candy game. that this is just new things, oh relatively new things that have been coming out, we have the Starburst gummies. In fact, I have tried them many times, they are quite good and it is the only Starburst that I will eat the gummy roll. It surprises me. Gum in a wheel didn't come up before because that was something I definitely ate a lot of when I was a kid. We have these juicy rubber sticks that are horrible.

I've tried them before in a video. like you take a gummy bear and you dip it in this like a sour gel and then you eat it and it's so sweet it makes me want to die look at these little Reese's pumpkins I have to see what one of these bad boys looks like. I knew it. I knew they wouldn't have the Jack-o-lantern face those idiots oh they made cookies and cream button fangs where's the wait a minute? Are you supposed to bite the fangs off? That's not fun. Twizzlers Starburst and jolly rancher. everyone realizes that gummies are the ultimate form of candy and everyone is like trying to eliminate each other right now.

Skittles Reese's airheads are kind of funny. For a long time I thought airheads were warheads, so it took me a long time to try my first airhead, they're okay, although it's like candy, milk chocolate, vampire, strawberry-filled kisses, yeah that's fun, I feel like The circle has been completed, remember that chalk we tried in the 19th century with that chocolate with red filling. I wonder if they've found a way to do it that's really good. Okay, it smells very, very strong like chocolate and strawberry. I love kisses. I think they are so cute. Would you go for them?

No, but if they are around, you are very cute, okay, this is very different from what I thought, times change, sweets change, people change, but putting strawberry in chocolate I still think it is disgusting, if I eat more sweets , I'm going to throw up, that being said, they were sweets

throughout

the decades, the most popular sweets of each year, this was a disgusting video to film, I hope you enjoyed it and if you want to see me again, make sure to hit the push notifications . See you next time, bye.
