Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I love candy, especially the older ones from my childhood. Brings back memories of Saturday trips to the candy story when a penny would buy you a bag of candy. The pictures are great being colorful, glossy, and plentiful. The text was ok but midway through I quit reading and just looked at the pictures. I enjoyed reading it but would have no need to reread it. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Whether classics like Hershey's, Mars and M&Ms or trend-setters like PEZ and Atomic Fireballs, candy has a special place in the hearts and memories of most Americans, who to this day consume more than 600 billion pounds of it each year. In this colorful illustrated guide, Darlene Lacey looks at candy in America from a variety of angles, examining everything from chocolate to fruity sweets and from the simply packaged basics to gaudy product tie-ins. She examines the classic brands of the late twentieth century and what they mean, guiding us on a mouth-watering, sugar-fueled trip down a memory lane filled with signposts like Bazooka, Clark, Necco and Tootsie Roll.
