minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 年前Lots of sour candies from early 1900s till the year you mentioned. Lifesavers had sour since the 20s. Jawbreakers and toxic waste brand since the 70s. Lick-a-Stick, Sherbert Sour Powder, etc
minus-squareMelatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 年前But almost non-existent by the 60s-70s. Now, ubiquitous.

minus-squareMelatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前Sweettarts. Kinda sour, not bad. Jawbreakers weren’t sour.
minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 年前They sold sour Jawbreakers from WilliWonka brand, Dino Eggs Sours. Notice bottom right Jawbreaker written on it. These are what I was thinking of. https://www.candywrappermuseum.com/dinasoureggs.html
