Popeye Cigarette Candy are Canadian candy nostalgia in a box! These chalky candies are sweet, powdery and so perfectly crunchy! Popeye Candy Sticks were once known as Popeye Cigarettes. Long white sticks with a red tip as to indicate a cigarette. We're not advocating smoking here kids, just suggesting you eat this retro candy! Nothing has changed with Popeye Candy Sticks, besides the politically correct name change. Canadian kids had it made, spending recesses crunching on this cool candy. If Popeye The Sailor Man loves them, so do we! 

A retro Canadian Candy with a fun tingly sensation that lingers for a few seconds. Lotsa Fizz is hard on the outside but filled with a special fizzy and very tart powder on the inside. Lotsa Fizz Candy comes in Orange, Blue Raspberry, Grape, Cherry, and Green Apple.

This is a unique and novel Canadian Candy. Pink Elephant Popcorn still has it's cool retro looking box. One look at that elephant and you can just taste all those sweet, pink kernels!

It's been around since the 1950's and has not lost it's "pink" appeal! This glazed, pink candied popcorn certainly made a sweet impression. When it sadly disappeared for a while, we thought it was gone forever. But happily for us Canadian Candy lovers it's now back on the candy market!

Pink Elephant Popcorn would be a fun addition to a candy table. Also, a pretty pink confection that would be a fabulous accent for a girls Birthday party, or to use as a sweet thank- you for your guests.

A plump and juicy Maraschino Cherry that is surrounded in a sweet cherry syrup and covered with chocolate, coconut and bits of perfectly roasted peanuts. This Canadian concoction was first introduced to us in the early 1890's. The Cherry Blossom Chocolate has somewhat of a sophisticated taste. I must admit that as a child, it was a chocolate that my grandmother ate and I only ever begrudgingly tried it. Until I was older and a little wiser, with a more discriminating palate, this Canadian Candy gem became one of my all-time favourites. This old-fashioned, Canadian Candy has been loved for well over 100 years! The delectable, deliciousness of the Cherry Blossom Chocolate definitely has staying power!

A delightful Retro Canadain Candy, from one of Canada's leading candy makers, Ganong. The Roman Nougat is made of a soft and chewy nougat with added bits of fruity jellies. There are three assorted flavours of the fruit scattered throughout this nougat candy bar, orange, lemon and lime. This Canadian Candy bar involves no chocolate but it is not missed in the least. The Roman Nougat is a refreshingly sweet change from the usual. This chewy Roman Nougat and tasty fruit bits make for a must try, classic Canadian Candy. 

Every Canadian has tried this soap flavored gum at least once. Whether or not they liked it is a different story! Thrills Gum is a unique Canadian Gum. A purple gum that has a very distinctive taste.

Some say that Thrills Gum tastes like soap. Rosewater is one of the main ingredients. That is where the "soapy" taste comes from. 

There is just no sitting on the fence with Thrills Gum. You either hate or love it. But one thing is for certain, Thrills Gum is one of a kind!

Originally Thrills Gum was manufactured by the O Pee Chee Company from London, Ontario, until in the 1980's it was bought by Nestle. This sweet and soapy purple gum, as strange as it might sound to some, is actually delicious!

Maybe it's an acquired Canadian taste? Whatever the reason it's a sweet way to stop all that colourful language! Thrills Gum does taste better than soap!

Canadian Candy lovers have been indulging in this old fashioned candy since 1890! Mackintosh Toffee comes in a rectangular slab and a tartan like colourful package.

It's sweet, smooth, creamy and delicately salted. It's a delectable Canadian Candy. Some people prefer to eat Mackintosh Toffee frozen. Hence their slogan "Smack Your Mack". They literally smack the piece of frozen Mackintosh Toffee and eat the broken, smaller bits.

If you're a purist there's only one way to eat this, biting directly into this ultra chewy and creamy toffee. It's all part of the Mackintosh Toffee experience. Mackintosh Toffee is a Canadian Candy indulgence!

A solid milk chocolate egg that is surrounded by a crispy, candied shell. Often thought of as an Easter treat, but us Canadians just can't wait for the Easter Bunny that long! 

We want Cadbury Mini Eggs all year round! This delicious chocolate and crunchy candied eggs, come in soft pretty pastel colours. They make a delightful, pretty accent on an Easter or Springtime dessert table or a Candy Buffet. A favourite Canadian Candy, Cadbury Mini Eggs were introduced to us in 1967. Lucky for us Canadians every season is Mini Egg season!

We know there's delicious candy all across the globe, but none is sweeter than the Canadian candy nostalgia. You know what we say besides "eh"? Home sweet home! 

We hope we've ignited your sweet tooth and stirred up some sweet memories. Besides eating it, that's what Retro Candy is really all about!
