General Questions - Answers:
Is the candy really old?
All of our candy is fresh from the manufacturer. These candies have been in production for many years. We Baby Boomers have grown up, raised children (and now grandchildren), started and nurtured careers and are busy people. In the process we have forgotten about this part of our childhood. As we tell our granddaughter, "Candy makes my mouth happy!"
Will the candy make me feel young again?
The short answer is YES but don't take our word for it. See what our customers are saying about Candy you ate as a kid®. read more
Do you make the candy?
We do not make any of the candy. We buy it from over 70 different manufacturers.
Where can I buy your candy in my city?
The Old Time Candy Company is not the manufacturer of any of the products we sell. We are retailers who buy candy from over 70 different manufacturers and resell it on the web. We don't know where else it might be sold. In most cases the candy we sell is only available in certain regions of the country. The decision to sell regionally is made by the manufacturer.
Do you have a retail store?
We do not have a retail store. We sell only through our web site.
What is the shelf-life of the candy? (Times are expressed in months from the date of manufacture, not from the date of purchase.)
- hard candy - 12 months
- chocolate - 6 months
- licorice - 6 months
- taffy - 6 months
- peanut butter candy - 3 months
- gummi candy - 6 months
How should I store my candy?
We recommend that you store candy at room temperatures (~70 degrees) and not in a freezer or refrigerator. Freezing chocolate will cause a white film to appear. If absolutely necessary chocolate can be stored in a refrigerator but it might absorb some of the odors from other foods.
Do you have an affiliate program?
We have teamed up with ShareASale who administers our program. We encourage you to sign up today.
