These stores cater to lovers of dying brands, especially candy

Updated

Following up on our recent discussion of things we'd like to see make a comeback, I thought I'd mention some stores I've found that seem to cater to just this niche.

If you live in New York City or don't mind ordering online, Economy Candy has a cottage industry in candies from the 1950s - 1970s. You can stock up on Clove or Blackjack gum, Pop Rocks, Zaps, Mallo Cups, Sen-Sen and other things you haven't seen since you were a kid. Their mesmerizing shop on the Lower East Side also carries all the modern stuff, too--Pez, sour candy in gross shapes, and sugarless.
