Retro Candy: Bazooka gum, Fun Dip, Mike & Ikes, Lemon Heads, Now & Laters

I have been debating the candy bar station for a while because I didn't know how I felt about having ONLY aqua, white and black candy. I have decided that I will line the apothecary jars with aqua, white and black tissue or cardstock paper and fill them with all the candy that we love!

I found a couple of great sites for retro candy! Yes all your (and your guests) childhood favorites! You can buy them by decades! (60s, 70s, 80s!)
Abba Zaba Minis, Bottle Caps, Boston Baked Beans, Bubble Gum Cigars, Chick O Sticks, Chuckles, Cow Tales, Fizzies, Fruit Stripe Gum, Fun Dip, Giant Smarties, Gold Mine Gum, Hot Tamales, Jawbusters, Jolly Rancher Sticks, Jujyfruits, Kits, Laffy Taffy, Licorice Pipes, Mike & Ikes, Now & Laters, Orange Heads, Pixy Stix, Pop Rocks, Razzles, Red Hots, Slap Sticks, Smith Brothers, Snaps, Sugar Daddy Pops, Sweetarts, Wax Lips, Zotz, Atomic Fireballs, Black Taffy, Candy Necklace, Bazooka, Jaw Breakers, Lemon Heads, Root Beer Barrels, Salt Water Taffy, Slo Pokes & Walnettos & more!

Get your retro candy at
www.candycrate.com
www.groovycandies.com
www.nostalgiccandy.com

Another great website for candy is candywarehouse.com. I love it because you can buy the candy in what ever color you want.
www.metrocandy.com offers a great selection. I like this one because if you get the lollipops they come with fun displays old school style!
www.bulkcandystore.com has a great variety of candy as well.

The jars are called Apothecary Jars. Check www.save-on-crafts.com, www.target.com, or ebay.

Have you found the jars yet?  I am going to display a cookie buffet instead of candy (we are more of cookie people) but have had a tough time finding the jars.

I am doing a candy buffet as well for my wedding this October. Just wanted to say that was a great idea to line the jars with matching paper instead of having all matching candy. I have been stressing about that. I would love to see any pics if you have tried making the jars yet.
