Hey cool cats, let's hang

Hey guys, so you may know that I had to evacuate Charleston because of the hurricane last week
0:09
but the good news is I happened to stop at a general store on my way out of town and got some really cool old candy
0:14
And while I'd like to dress up for every decade, I'm cheap. So with each snack, I'm going to go through some of the popular slang from that time period
0:20
and tell you what it means. So without further ado, let's get cracking. So first up, we have Necco candy wafers
0:26
So apparently these were created in 1847 and they were popular all the way through the 1910s
0:31
So I'm going to count it as a 1900s candy just for the sake of the title. And each one is like a little bag of mystery
0:36
This one has pink, white, orange, yellow, and blue. So the pink one tastes like mint, so I'm assuming the white one will too
0:43
And I really don't have a snack to compare these to. They're powdery and a nice minty flavor
0:48
Next up, we have a Clark Bar. So I'm kind of cheating a little bit. This is the Clark Jr., which is a 1990s rendition of this candy
0:54
But it was actually originally invented in 1917. by an Irishman just off the boat
0:59
It's very, very similar to a Butterfinger in taste. It kind of has a wafer peanut candy inside
1:04
Yeah, it's just like a classic Butterfinger. Moving on to the 1920s, we have BB Bats
1:09
I have no idea what these are. There. It's like a milky taffy, kind of like a Japanese candy
1:14
I guess it's called BB Bats because it's kind of like a baseball bat. Attaboy! So since I don't have enough candy to make it past the 1960s
1:21
I'm going to do two from 1920, and these are Kitt's Chocolate. As you can see there, made in the USA since 1924, so it's really sticky and has little black dots in there
1:30
I'm hoping this didn't expire in 1924. Mmm, really thick, hard, taffy. It's good
1:36
It like a Tootsie Roll level chocolate but a little more rich Next up we have Moritz Ice Cubes and these are a popular snack from the 1930s Ew very melted one of that Mmm God that was so like silky smooth
1:50
It was like eating just a fluff of chocolate. Really, really rich. And as Ice Cube himself once said
1:55
I'll label you a gold digger. We're on to the 1940s with a mallow cup
1:59
So it looks like a Reese cup. Mmm. That has a really soft whipped cream marshmallow type center
2:05
I actually thought these were gonna be like Charleston shoes, But like a fuddy-duddy version of them. Also from the 1940s, we have bazooka chewing gum
2:11
So exactly what you expect bubblegum to look like. Smells like sugar. Mmm
2:15
Nothing special, but it just reminds me of my childhood biting into a gumball from the gumball machine. On to the 50s where we have a Chico stick
2:23
It's just a really thick peanut butter caramel bar and since we're in the 1950s
2:28
I figured I'd give a long boy a try and I pretty much guarantee if you say that in 1950s
2:33
You're pretty much cruising for a bruising Whoa, that is strongly coconut flavored. That's pretty cool. And lastly from the 1960s
2:41
I have black taffy and apparently black taffy is not black It's like a caramely yellow with some kind of pink filling. Hopefully it's not all show and no go
2:51
Ah, it does have a black center. Oh that black center is straight-up licorice. Oh, that's strong. No. So there you guys go
2:58
That was some of the most popular candy from the 1900s all the way to 1960
3:02
Sorry I don't have anything from the 70s and onward. The store just didn't happen to have anything. Or if they did, it was things that you already know about
3:07
But I thought this was a fun little video to do with it being almost Halloween. And you're probably gonna get some of these in your candy basket
3:12
Or not, because you're probably not 10. But anyway, thank you so much for watching
3:16
Make sure to give this video a like if you enjoyed it. And let me know your favorite kind of candy. And make sure to stick around
3:21
I have some more Halloween videos planned for you guys. So stay subscribed and I'll see you later, Gator. Bye
