It appears I was born into a depressingly long drought of new candy introductions. Push Pops and Airheads came out three years before I was born, and Cookies and Creme Hershey four years after.
Looking it up on Wikipedia, there's also Hershey's Symphony Bars (which I've never had) and Magnum Ice Cream bars (which I know don't count as candy)
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

So I went back and looked, (non wyzas) and can't find one for my exact year.
I blame Sputnik.
Wait, I found something called devil's rice pie. Go figure.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I'm slightly older than a lot of fathers. 
Yeah, there are some school yards near some navy bases where I won't be throwing any rocks. Don't want to injure any grand kids. I hope my wife never sees this...
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I dislike both caramel and M&M's. Yay.

I am somewhere between Peeps and candy necklaces.
You would think that after a break of four years after Peeps someone could have come up with something better than candy necklaces...which can just barely be described as 'candy'. I seem to recall them being more of a weapon...hold a bead between your top and bottom front teeth, stretch the elastic tight and bite down just enough to break the bead and shoot basically a spitball made of sugar at the back of the neck of the person in front of you in class.
Sigh...lost in the abyss between Peeps and candy necklaces.
I'm your huckleberry.
