40 of the Most Beloved and Memorable Snacks Throughout History

Jujubes, vibrant, tasty gummy treats that debuted in the 1920s, have a rich history thanks to their inventor, German-born Henry Heidi. Originally a family business, Jujubes became an American favorite, though its popularity may have waned among today’s youth. Characterized by their chewy texture, these candies cling to your teeth and are shaped into the well-loved gumdrop in five classic flavors.

Originally, Jujubes were a bargain, easily accessible to everyone. Today, they remain affordable, with Walmart offering a 5.5-ounce tub for a mere $5.99. Jujubes are a treat the whole family can enjoy at such a price, assuming you’re willing to share these nostalgic candies.
