By the time the 1980s rolled around, candy lovers had a plethora of options to choose from, but that didn’t stop manufacturers from innovating and creating even more sugary treats.
This decade saw the rise of chewy sugar candies with unique and bold flavors that ranged from fruity to tangy. Among the most popular types of candy to emerge during this time were Skittles, which offered a burst of fruity flavors in every bite, Airheads, known for their chewy texture and intense flavors, and Sour Patch Kids, which combined sweetness with a sour punch.
Many people today still consider these candies to be their favorites, as they evoke memories of carefree childhood days spent enjoying these delightful treats.
