Just within the past week or so, I watched a show on FoodTV about
"retro" candy from the bygone days. The show featured an online store
that it compared itself as the Amazon-like source for candy, instead of
books, but I forget its name. The store featured all sorts of candy I
remember but no longer see anywhere.

I recommend Googling for "retro candy internet" or something like that,
or as a suggestion <http://www.candydirect.com/mints/mints.html>. HTH.
