Black kids in the 1970s filled their pockets with snacks from corner stores, candy ladies, and ice cream trucks—treats that cost pennies but created memories lasting a lifetime. From taffy that lasted for hours to homemade frozen cups sold on neighborhood porches, from popping candies to athlete-endorsed chocolate bars, these twenty-two snacks defined childhood sweetness during an unforgettable decade. Most have vanished completely, discontinued by companies or lost when small businesses closed, taking with them a piece of community culture that can never quite be recreated. Step back in time with Soulful Yesterdays and rediscover the flavors, rituals, and simple joys that made every corner store visit an adventure during the 1970s.
