What’s your favorite “Boomer” Halloween candy? And what even qualifies as a Boomer candy anyway?
The website “The Takeout” defines a Boomer candy as one that’s stood the test of time . . . without too many changes along the way.
And #1 is pretty obvious . . .
1. Werther’s Original . . . Everyone’s grandpa loves these.
2. Laffy Taffy
3. Milk Duds
4. Cinnamon Jawbreakers
5. Butterscotch
6. Starburst . . . This is a low blow. They were created in 1959, and technically they are a version of taffy, but come on now.
7. Cinnamon Discs
8. Smarties
9. Root Beer Barrels
10. Strawberry Bon Bons . . . Sweet memories of that gooey strawberry center.
Just missing out on the top ten were: peppermints . . . candy corn . . . and Tootsie Rolls.
