Once again it’s time for the game show craze that’s sweeping the nation: Name That Candy! Readers email about long-lost candy and we try to figure out what candy they are talking about. If you know what these candies are, leave a comment and let them know!
Here’s one from a reader named David:

There is […]

Every week we do a Name That Candy post where we post descriptions of long-lost candy sent in by readers and you get to see if you can help figure out what candy it is.
This one comes from a reader named Rachel:
They were these jelly beans that lacked the outer coating that a […]

Believe it or not, I get 2 to 3 emails per week asking if I know what some long-lost candy from someone’s childhood is. Previously, I had been answering the ones I knew and posting a few of the ones I didn’t. From now on, I will collect all of these emails each week […]

In our never-ending quest to put names to childhood candy memories, we present to you another edition of Name That Candy. This one comes from a reader named Caitlin (and it’s not our staff writer Caitlin). This one only goes back 12 years, so it’s not quite as old as some of our other Name […]

UPDATE: SOLVED!
It sucks to remember a great candy from your childhood but not be able to remember its name. We get a good number of emails from people trying to remember candy from their childhood. Recently we got one from a reader named Paul and it’s got me stumped. Can anyone help Paul out?
When I […]

I meant to post this much sooner, but it’s still interesting even if it’s three weeks after the fact….Steve at The Sneeze posted a fun “guess what this is a picture of” kind of game. He didn’t say it was candy, but since it’s on Candy Addict, you now know it’s […]

Finally a “Name That Candy” that I got right - I haven’t been doing very well with those lately. I received this email today from a reader named Tom:
I dont recall much. From the 80’s - red/purple/orange tic tac type candies that came in a horizontal (rectangle) flip top plastic container. There […]

Once again I have received another email from a Candy Addict reader trying to find the name of a candy they had as a kid. This one is from Maria:
I remember this double sided lollipop from the early to mid 80’s that came in pastel-ish colors and had triangular-like candy on either end of […]

The other day I received an email from a reader trying to remember the name of a candy she had when she was young. The only things I could think of were Zotz and WarHeads but they don’t quite meet the description below. It has stumped me, so I put it to you, the […]

I got an email today from a reader named Jennifer who asked:
During the 90’s there was a candy commercial that advertised an escape from reality. I don’t remember exactly how it went though. Can you help me figure out what I am thinking of?
Hmmmmm….. that doesn’t ring a bell. I did some […]
