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.

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.

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.
