Jolly Rancher hard candies made their first appearance in
1949 and are still popular among candy lovers today.

The couple had moved to Colorado from Minnesota in 1942. Bill
was a pilot for Continental Airlines, but he dreamed of owning
his own business.

The beloved Jolly Rancher first made its appearance at the
end of the decade in 1949, Hersheyland reported.

The popular sucking candy joined the Hershey Company
family in 1996.
