How well do you know hard candy?
This hard candy quiz is probably pretty easy for Boomers
When we went to grandma's house we could count on two things — a kiss on the cheek and a dish full of hard candy.
Hard candy sitting out (in Depression glass, atop a doily, ideally) in the living room was a part of growing up, especially around the holidays. Undoubtedly, you sucked on several of these as kid — and perhaps still do today.
So let's see how well you know what they are called and what they taste like!

9 out of 10. Even though I'm more of a chocolate person. But when I was little, I had a great aunt who we visited a lot, and she always had a dish of hard candy. I never heard of the scripture mints either but I agree that testa-mints is a much cuter name for them.
7/10 I’m more of a chewy candy kinda gal.
3 of 10. Not much for candy I guess..

I missed that one, too, and it was my favorite candy in this quiz!
I suck...4/10

Brach's used to make a blue-colored one similar to the butterscotch. I think they were just called "cool mints". I downed tons of those as a boy (and I've been cool ever since...)
Didn't knw 10-8-7 and 2
I wonder why the Blue were mints? I always saw mints as green

Green is spearmint, blue is peppermint. Having said that, I missed that one too.

Actually, if you think about it, the only proper name for the whole thing is "Lunch, one hour!".
6/10; I am not a candy eater and I am glad to get a passing score.
#6 Molasses is misspelled.
So what you still got it wrong🤣
6/10 I got the first 6 right, and then bombed out.
I really hate hard candy. I like something I can sink my teeth into. Like salt water taffy. YUM !
Got 9 out of 10. Too easy.
