Black Bat Cigarette

What are some of the most popular penny candies from the 1960's and 1970's?
I'm making adult loot bags for a 50th birthday party and would like to include popular penny candies from the 1960's and 1970's. What are some of the most well known candies from this period and do you think that the guests will actually "get" the concept without being told or only wonder why they are leaving with a bag full of penny candy...

70's CANDY: these were a little harder to pin down...the websites kept linking the retro candies together...but I know Pop Rocks were of this era.



I think they'll get the joke :D--of course a lot of these are still around--and the others can be ordered on the retro candy websites.
