For decades under socialism sweets packaging looked terrible, often sticky liquid and frankly they were mainly sugar-by-sugar. However, at the time being grandparents, parents, even to this day retain the flavors in their mouth. Slowly the sweets and candy factory manufactures had pulled down the curtain. A dumping of new sweets arrived, but for some reason these long gone delicacies interestingly were reborn in foreign land and again they appeared for the customers at sweet festivals in Hungary. These reborn sweets are named to-day as “Retro Sweets” and in the past years these retro sweets became popular more than ever. Especially, when parents and grandparents with a wide smile meet them again and told their child or grandchild that they grew up eating these for example both the dentist’s nightmare … the törökméz – honeycomb toffee – and the krumplicukor – potato sugar, téli fagyi – winter ice-cream, Diana sugar (chocolate covered alcohol), Balatonszelet – slice of Balaton, medvecukor – licorice, kakas nyalóka – cock shape lollipop and a huge selection in size and forms of other lollipops, Zizi – sugar-coated puffed rice grains, all sort of sugar jellies that a generation ate them.
