Movie theater candy is more than just a snack; it's a nostalgic component of the cinematic experience, with roots tracing back to the 1920s when theaters began offering simple sweets. The Great Depression solidified candy's role as a revenue booster for struggling theaters, leading to the introduction of convenient box packaging. Iconic varieties like Milk Duds (1926), Raisinets (1927), and M&M's (1941) became synonymous with moviegoing. This category offers unique textures and flavors, from the chewy Milk Duds to the refreshing Junior Mints, complementing the salty popcorn.
