Vintage Candy Co.19th BIRTHDAY RETRO CANDY GIFT BASKET - 2005 Party Assortment Candy Variety - Unique Fun Care Package Gift Basket - Nineteenth Birthday - PERFECT For Boys and Girls Turning 19 Years Old

Okay, I am not turning 19 but I like candy. I feel like 19 years ago wasn't that long ago but some of these candies are not what was popular 19 years ago. Like boston baked beans? Rock candy? cry babies? pop rocks? bottle pops? These feel like from my childhood not from when I was 20 which was 19 years ago. But I guess candy hasn't changed that much in the last so many years. It is funny it comes with a pamphlet showing different eras and the 1960s and 1970s candy is pretty much the same ones in this 2003 box. Regardless, there is a huge variety of candy in here. There is a cool paper it comes with saying that if you are 19 years old you are also 988 weeks old, 6935 days old, 166,440 hours old and 9,986,400 minute old!

This is a great variety of candy that anyone who was a kid in the early 2000s will recognize! There is actually only one item (Zotz) that I don’t remember. Other than that, I have memories associated with all of the other candies. From those little strawberry candies that grandmas always have to the fancy rock candy on a stick that your parents never let you buy, this has it all!All the candy was fresh and tasty. It’s a great variety and a great value for the money. You can tell someone put some time and thought into this. This would make a great gift for any 19 year old! While I received this box free, I will definitely be buying some other boxes from this company in the future.

This is a nice selection of early 2000's candy. I was worried that some of the candy wouldn't taste like how it originally did, but thankfully no one changed the recipes. Everything tastes exactly like I remembered! I love the airheads, the sour patch kids, the juicy drop pops, the nerds, smarties, they all taste great and add a fun and thoughtful touch to any occasion. I'm going to order more soon for a friend of mine!
