Who dosen’t love Candy.. We sure do! Good and Plenty is a brand of licorice candy. It’s really sweet black licorice covered in an eatable shell in pink and white casing and housed in a pink and white box or bag..
It was created and produced by the Quaker Choclate and Confection Company back in 1893.
Although it’s been bought and sold by many companies is over 100 years old, Good and Plenty is the oldest produced and selling candy brand.
What would bring the candy into national awareness was a commercial produced in the 1950’s featuring a cartoon character named Choo Choo Charlie, a boy pretending to be a railroad engineer, singing about his love of the candy. He shook the box of candy in a circular motion, intimating the push rods of a train. It’s still a popular selling candy today just about available everywhere.
