My Focus: Processed Desserts & Sweets of the 1950s


Marshmallows, Peeps, Pez, Chewing Gum, Popsicles, Creamsicles, Fizzies etc. What do these things have in common? They were all invented/popularized in the 1950s. In supermarkets, ice cream parlours, ice cream trucks and candy stores, processed sweets/desserts were very cheap and could literally be found everywhere. I hope to cover the most popular and culturally significant sweets in subsequent blog posts.
