Number 16

Number 16: 3 Musketeers
3 Musketeers are produced by Mars. Their chocolate outside with the creamy, fluffy inside makes it a favorite. It was produced in 1932.

A bit of history;
3 Musketeers at first we're sole for 5 cents and came in a package of 3. There was a cherry flavor, chocolate, and vanilla. But then they saw how much of a favorite the chocolate was and dropped the others.

Number 17

Number 17; Starbursts
Starbursts are produced by Mars. It came to the U.S. in 1976. The four original flavors were strawberry, lemon, orange, and lime. (my two favorites are lemon and orange)

A bit of history;
Starbursts were actually a project that Mars sent to Britain in 1960. The candy then was called Opal Fruit.  In awhile, lime flavor was actually replaced with the now in use, cherry flavor. Starbursts (or Opal Fruits) said right on the package in Britain "safe for vegetarians." In 2007, the lime flavor came back, as one of those

Number 19

Number 19: Butterfinger
Don't lay a finger on my Butterfinger! :P Everyone has probably heard of that commercial. Butterfinger is produced by Nestle, and almost all people love its crispy orange-colored peanut butter center covered in chocolate.

A bit of history;
Butterfinger came out in 1923. Curtiss Candy made a contest for a new candy, and a man put in the idea of the Butterfinger, and then Nestle bought it in 1990. Some of the old slogans are "Follow the finger!" "Break out of the ordinary!"

Candy Number 21

Number 21: Hershey Kisses
Hershey Kisses are definitely a favorite. Produced by (duh) Hershey, these favorite little bit size candies came out in 1907. The machines that produce them came wrap 1,300 in a minute! Also, interesting fact, Hershey doesn't even really know where the name "Hershey Kisses" came from.

A bit of history;
Hershey Kisses were actually hand-wrapped  until 1921, when they started using machines.They are wrapped in aluminum foil, with a piece of paper coming out of the top. Some flavors include; Milk Chocolate, Carmel, Truffle, Coconut Creme, Peanut Butter, (my favorite) Candy Cane, etc. There actually used to be a brand called Hershey Kissables, a smaller version, but they were discontinued.
