Nerds Candy Mascot (Willy Wonka Candy 1983)

Did you know?

Some say that the candy was named after a reference in the Dr. Seuss Book, If I Ran the Zoo, where a “nerd” is mentioned as one of the creatures the narrator would collect for his zoo. However, most people today assume the candy has something to do with those of us who devoted our lives to our homework.

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.
