GOOD & PLENTY candy was first produced by the Quaker City Confectionery Company in Philadelphia in 1893 and is the oldest branded candy in the United States. Choo Choo Charlie, the engineer who fueled his train with GOOD & PLENTY candy, first appeared in advertisements in 1950.
Do you remember the words to the Choo Choo Charlie GOOD & PLENTY candy theme song?
Once upon a time there was an engineer
Choo Choo Charlie was his name, we hear.
He had an engine and he sure had fun
He used GOOD & PLENTY candy to make his train run.
Charlie says "Love my GOOD & PLENTY!"
Charlie says "Really rings my bell!"
Charlie says "Love my GOOD & PLENTY!"
Don't know any other candy that I love so well!
In 1973, Warner-Lambert purchased GOOD & PLENTY candy and owned it until 1982 when the operation was purchased by Beatrice Foods and moved to St. Louis. In 1983, Huhtamaki Oy purchased Leaf Brands, the confectionery division of Beatrice Foods. Hershey Foods Corporation acquired the Leaf North America confectionery operations from Huhtamaki Oy of Helsinki, Finland in 1996.
