Introducing Candy Favorites.com

Candy Favorites.com is an interesting website with early roots as McKeesport Candy Company established in 1927. Their company motto is that "the future of candy is rooted in the past".


Candy Nostalgia and History Across The Decades

While the  primary purpose of Candy Favorites.com is to sell candy, this company clearly loves
the stories that go with their brands. Candy Favorites.com devotes many pages on their site on the education of candy with sections discussing "Candy Timeline", "History of Candy", "Nostalgia Ads" "Candy in Pop Culture" and so much more.

I really had a ball reading the articles about Candy in Pop Culture.

  1. Had to take the time to thank you for another informative post. I get way, way too many emails but when you post, I always take the time to read. I am planning on diving into the many sites you have listed. Thanks again, you really exemplify what an informative, interesting and well written blog should be.
