Bit O Honey Candy


This awesome candy was introduced in 1924 by the Schutter-Johnson candy company (later bought by Nestle) and consisted of honey flavored taffy that held almond bits inside it. These were packaged with individual wax paper covered candy pieces to make them easier to manage (they were just a little bit sticky), and parents worldwide cringed as soon as they realized that you could stick these things to almost anything if you wanted, making your furniture, clothes, siblings, pets, etc. instant targets if you were in the mood for michief that day. These are a long chewing candy that is also great excercise for your jaws, and are still available if you look around a little. See ya, and be sure to check back to see more Cool Old Junk...
