I’m doing a history of the 110 year old American Candy Co. building, Milwaukee WI
Would like to set up an historical display in the buildings lobby (building has been converted into condos) Looking for any info about the “American Candy Co,” “Howard B. Stark (candy) Co.” & “Stark Candy Co.” (pre 1960).
Candy ads – wrappers – history etc.
Some of the candies that their known for are “Rex” brand of fine chocolates, “Snirkle”, “Candy Raisins”, “Stark Wafers”, “Sweethearts candy”,little conversation valentine “Candy Cigarettes” or any other candies that you know they made.
Any information or leads you may have is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I see a fun, themed eating day ahead. Breakfast of Aunt Jemima pancakes smothered in Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup, lunch with some Uncle Ben’s rice and for desert, Black Crows. Did I miss any? Was Mrs. Butterworth actually black at one time?

C&B Butterscotch was with me all my life! Then one day they were just gone. I was born in England, C&B was with me. My family moved to Jamaica, C&B was with me. I spent 1 wonderful winter in Canada during my teens, C&B was with me. Back in Jamaica and when I moved to America, C&B was with me. Then they were just gone! So I asked my aunts still living in England to find me some and the couldn’t. Now I know why. I am so sad. This was the best Butterscotch in the world. Corporate America please listen to us. BRING BACK C&B BUTTERSCOTCH!!!

I remember C&B,great stuff. I have been looking for another butterscotch candy. It was made by Keiler’s or Kieler”s ( not sure of the spelling) They were wrapped in gold foil paper. I think they were made in England. Been there a few years ago. What a grand country!

Comment on Drunken Gummy Bears by Gummy Bear Vodka Lover

This is just another example of something seeing a spark and calling a fire. I don’t know about you all, but when I was younger it’s not like I had to go out of my way to hide alcohol in a different form. Today it’s gummy bear vodka, next week it’ll be rum cheese puffs! Seriously, this is one of my favorite snacks ever and I agree, it’s obviously for adults only, but vodka gummy bears STILL SMELL LIKE VODKA!

I have been thinking of these candies for so long and have been looking for them everywhere – now I am so depressed to find they are no longer made. My mom and I shared the butterscotch candies all the time – when we tried to split them in half, I always wished that one side would be bigger than the other and I would get that one. What sweet memories that remarkable taste brings back to me.
It’s so sad when such a good thing goes by the wayside. Companies so often buy out other companies just to shut them down.

My mother always took a photo of us on our birthday with our gifts…..I’ll try to find this particular one and see if the game box is fully shown. It may have been a unique edition. Get back to you…..

So it’s got sugar just less of it? This product sounds good to me. I’m a man. Weird ad, but seems like without it (and the drama) I would have never even heard about it, so…
