Brief history from Eatry Website on this brand.
Known for their moon rock shape and vivid color, Nerds are as addictive today as they were in the ’80s. Distributed by the Willy Wonka Candy Factory in Itasca, Illinois, their unique look is almost as magical as the story behind the fictitious candy company in the Roald Dahl novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Here’s a little bit more about the candy that hasn’t changed since it was first created more than 30 years ago.
What are Nerds?
Nerds are neon-colored mini candies with an irregular pebble shape. Although today they come in a variety of flavors like orange, cherry, and watermelon, the originals were grape and strawberry-flavored.
What are they made of?
Not surprisingly, the crunchy candy consists mostly of sugar. The exact list of ingredients includes: Dextrose, Sugar, Malic Acid, Corn Syrup, Artificial Flavors, Carnauba Wax (a palm wax), Carmine Color, and dyes Blue 1, Blue 1 Lake, Blue 2, Blue 2 Lake, Red 40, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5, Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6, Yellow 6 Lake.
Who created them?
Nerds were created by the Willy Wonka Candy Factory in 1983, but are currently produced by Nestlé who bought the company five years later. The Wonka brand was created as a marketing ploy to promote the movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, debuting one month before the film, in 1971.
What makes Nerds unique?
One of the most unique things about the candy is its packaging design. Nerds come in double-flavored boxes that are divided into two sides with individual spouts, making it simpler to get to your flavor of choice.
