Famous Twisted Candies and Sweets

From the Big Screen to the Small Screen, from Horror and Sci-Fi to Real Reality, candy has been at the center of the universe.

Below lie the Celebrities candy picks, politicians sweet tooth favorites, and the infamous preferred candy treats of the past, present, and future.

Everyone loves candy and we mean everyone, from polities, to movie stars, to criminals on death row!

Find out who sucked on what, who loved chewing gum, who is and who isn't the whose who of the sweetest of treats!

Let's see......how to start......

Marie Antoinette, born 1755, died 1793 loved cake.

Now, Marie loved cake so much, she proclaimed everyone in her kingdom should eat cake!

Unfortunately for her, not all the people living in France, at that time felt the same way about cake.....believe it or not, some of those people actually hated cake.

At the very mention, by Marie, that they should eat cake tempers flared to a boil. One thing lead to another and well, a whole revolution started......just over cake.

Ok, the above was a little twisted...sorry, if you want to know the real story of Marie Antoinette, it isn't here. Try here.

Who doesn't love cake, cherries, whip cream, sugar, candy..........ahhh.......back in a moment..............

Candy has long been a part of film and television history. Candy has starred in eveything from horror films to politics.

But you can't mention candy and retro television without talking about the famous tv show with Lucy Ricardo and Ethel Mertz - "The Candy Factory"

My sister has the I Love Lucy candy bar. This candy bar is so old, it's hard as a rock, but she is such a fan of Lucille Ball, that you might be tortured for the mere mention of disposing the aging bar.

Lest not forget her lithograph - My sister the Lucy freak.
But here is something she doesn't have, the I Love Lucy Salt and Pepper Shakers, do I hear present?

The most famous use of chocolate candies was an "I Love Lucy" episode during 1952.

The year was 1973 and television then is fondly remembered now as "retro".

Telly Savalas starred in "Kojak".

Best remembered for his role as this tough New York City detective, Telly Savalas . Kojak always had a sucker in hand.

This was my Dad's favorite tv show. I have fond memories of the whole family sitting down to watch together.

The charactor's signature line, "Who loves ya?," debuted in the first season. Mr. Savalas used a lollipop as a prop. Very smart touch.

Who is to say without lollipops, Kojak would have become one of the best remembered detective series during the 70's.

Among the most famous candy are the M & M's characters.

First sold to the public in 1941, it is thought that the idea came to Mr. Forrest Mars during a visit to Spain.

He saw the locals eating little pieces of chocolate covered with a hard sugar coating. He brought the idea back to the U.S.

It wasn't until 1954, however that the famous charactors were born.

In 1960 they made a few improvements, adding color to the sugar coating, and along with a fantastic advertising campaign, creating a favorite candy.

Here is a commercial from the 1980 for M&M's, but I haven't found an earlier one yet.

You know what they sing....

"N E S T L � S"

Nestles make the very best...........chocolate!

Sing it everyone! La, la, la, la, da.

That reminds me..........A couple of famous explorers loved candy bars sooooooo much, that they took the "Baby Ruth" candy bar with them to the North and South Pole.

In 1927, the famous McMillian took the candy bar to the north pole and in 1929, Richard Byrd munched "Baby Ruths" while lumbering around the south pole.

The best way to eat a candy bar is frozen!

Did you mean, I should be frozen or the candy bar? Does any of this make any sense?

No?, I didn't think so.............

If you love Zero's, Sugar Daddy's, and candies you don't see anymore, this is a great place to find them.

I will add more about famous people and candy as I find it.
