Tag: Childhood candy

First introduced in the late 19th century, candy cigarettes were originally made of chalky sugar, chocolate, or gum. Today, the classic chalky version is primarily a simple mixture of dextrose, starches, and gelatin, giving it a distinctive sweet and crumbly texture.

According to the Ferrara Candy Shop, a single standard pouch of Fun Dip contains 11 grams of sugar. This childhood classic, originally named Lik-M-Aid, is essentially a pouch of flavored dextrose powder served with a small candy stick for dipping. Its high sugar content is packed into a small, interactive treat that has been delighting children for decades.
