What candy came out the year you were born?

RE: What candy came out the year you were born?
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)

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.

You're only slightly older than my father.  I think he was born around '54

I'm slightly older than a lot of fathers. Hehe

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...

Dulce de Leche Caramel M&M's

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.

Okay, I bought a Symphony at the store today. The good news: they taste good. The bad news: there's not really much taste difference with a regular Hershey bar. Maybe there's a bit more milk in the milk chocolate, but if I didn't look it up on Wikipedia, I might not have gotten that.
