 Good assortment, not as many "Retro" candies as you would expect Jan 10, 2007
By Tina
"momtobjmso"
I purchased this for my husband as he'd always talked about the candies he used to eat as a child (his parents owned a candy store at one point). While there was a fair quantity of candy, much of it was stuff that's still available today. We were expecting more "Wow, haven't seen this is 30 years!" candies and fewer "Oh, I had one of these yesterday" choices.

 Fun, but disappointing for the price Jan 17, 2007
By Jane McFarlane
Purchased this for a friend who often talked about the candy he grew up eating. Most of the contents are "penny candy" still available today. The packaging was cute, but for half the price I could have put together my own simmilar assortment.

 This has Candy Cigarette Gum! Oct 14, 2005
This 1970's retro candy box is a great gift for someone who was a child in the 70's and has good memories of eating these candies though some of these candies actually came out years before the 70's they were quite popular in this era and some are still quite popular even in these days. This gift box has Jaw Breakers, Classic Now & Laters, Razzles, Party Stix, Fun Gum Wax Lips, Pop Rocks, Wonka Tart N Tiny, Bubble Gum Cigars, Bubble Gum Cigarettes, Candy Cigarettes, Wonka Runts, Sweettarts, Lemon Heads, Cherry Heads, Apple Heads, Charms Sweet & Sour Pops, Necco Assorted Wafers, Reeds Root Beer Candy Rolls, Licorice Pipes, Zots, Sugar Daddy Pops, Double Bubble Gum, Boston Baked Beans and Atomic Fireball. Most of the candy in this gift box is traditional with a couple of controversial candies like the candy and gum cigars and cigarettes which some parent groups deemed a bad influence on children so they disappeared from candy stores and I thought that they had stopped making them but they are still being made and can found in novelty candy stores and online. If you are thinking of giving this to someone as a gift first sit and think if that person will be okay with the cigarette shaped gum and candy because this may not be the best thing to buy for someone who will be offended by that.

Less than stellar. Jan 24, 2009
By D. Fitzgerald
Arrived late - far past due date. Not good for an item that is typically a gift. Lame candy. Loose pieces. Not worth it at all.

 I Loved It Jan 02, 2009
By bluediamond
I received this as a gift and it brought back a lot of memories. I really loved it. I'm not sure why there are some people who are disappointed because some of the candy is still available today. That is very puzzling. The candy names are right in the description. You know before you buy it exactly what is in it.
