Red Vines
These proto-Twizzlers date back to 1914, when the American Licorice Company was founded in Chicago. That year, Black Licorice Vines were first to be sold, until Classic Raspberry Vines debuted in 1920.
Red Vines as we know them today are essentially the same as Classic Raspberry Vines — they were rebranded in 1952.
Jujyfruits
Jujyfruits, the original gummy fruit-flavored candies, were first made in 1920 by Ferrara Candy Company. These were once so ubiquitous in movie theaters, they were used as a joke in an episode of "Seinfeld."
If you were ever curious, its shapes are Asparagus Bundle, Banana, Grape Bundle, Pea Pod, Pineapple, Raspberry, and Tomato. Luckily, the shapes don't correspond to its flavors at all. That red one isn't tomato-flavored, for example — it's raspberry.
Jujubes
Jujubes, the sister candy of Jujyfruits, also began production in 1920 by Ferrara Candy Company. The main difference with Jujubes is their harder texture and uniform shape.
Chuckles
These jelly candies with a sugary coating date back to 1921. They were only made in one factory in Danville, Illinois, until Nabisco bought them in 1970, when they were mass-produced.
They can still be found on some newsstands, but they're much harder to find in movie theaters.
Charleston Chew
Charleston Chew, contrary to popular belief, is not named after the city in South Carolina. It debuted in 1925, a time when the most popular dance was the Charleston, the chocolatey toffee candy bar's namesake.
Unfortunately, the Charleston isn't seen on dance floors much anymore, and Charleston Chews are hardly seen in movie theaters either.
Boston Baked Beans
With perhaps the most unappetizing name for a candy on this list, Boston Baked Beans aren't beans at all — they're candy-coated peanuts.
Developed in the early 1930s by the Ferrara Candy company, these confections aren't as popular today as a remarkably similar candy: peanut M&M's.
Red Hots
Along with Boston Baked Beans, Ferrara Candy Company debuted Red Hots, a kind of cinnamon hard candy, in the 1930s. They were also known as "cinnamon imperials," a common name for similar candies of the era.
Crows
If you've ever had Dots (which are still commonly found in theaters), then you may recognize their licorice-flavored counterparts. Crows, originally known as "Mason Black Crows," were first sold in the 1910s, but are much harder to come by now.
Sugar Babies
Sugar Babies are candy-coated caramels. First made in 1935, their name refers to young women who were spoiled by their older boyfriends, or sugar daddies.
Sugar Daddies — caramel lollipops — were already a popular candy made by the James O. Welch company, but their follow-up, Sugar Babies, proved an even bigger hit.
Goobers
Goobers were once just another name for the peanut, but ever since this candy became popular in 1925, Goobers became synonymous with the chocolate-covered candy.
Sixlets
These candy-coated chocolate balls have been around since at least the 1960s. According to Old Time Candy, the name derives from how many candies originally came in a pack.
