We’re going all the way back to the 1950’s for today’s post and a look at a Halloween treat that has been enjoyed by generations of kids.\u00a0 So make the jump to check out Charms Halloween Pumpkin Pops from the 1950’s and today!<\/p>\n

Tucked within a small Charms salesman folder I’ve had in my collection for a number of years was a single page Halloween Pops flyer, showcasing both Pumpkin Pops and Black Cat Pops.\u00a0 Here it is:<\/p>\n

More than just the candy illustrations and information it contains, I completely dig the Halloween graphic touches down either side of this sales flyer.\u00a0\u00a0 Such awesome vintage-Halloween goodness.<\/p>\n

I mentioned that that flyer is from the 1950’s, though it could go back a little earlier to the 1940’s.\u00a0 [Edit: I went back and was able to firmly date this piece based on other parts of the packet it came from – 1948.]\u00a0 This sales sheet is a great record of an early example of Charms Pumpkin Pops along with that awfully cool-looking black cat pop.<\/p>\n

Last year I picked up a fun package for a large multi-bag of Charms Pumpkin Pops and after the Halloween season had passed, I realized that it had a connection to the earlier flyer in my collection.\u00a0 Here’s the full packaging for that 2013 Charms Pumpkin Pops piece:<\/p>\n

These new Pumpkin Pops are available again this year.\u00a0 Though they are not exactly the same as the Charms Pumpkin Pops from half-a-century ago, I’d like to think there is a direct lineage from one to the other.<\/p>\n

I didn’t snap any photos of the modern pops that package contained but I did find a good one on the CandyWarehouse.com order site.<\/p>\n

Pretty great to see how such a simple confectionery offering has subtly evolved and withstood the test of time.\u00a0\u00a0 I think it’s fun to compare and contrast the two.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for today’s look back into Halloween candy’s past!\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
