The Answer: 

The old candy brands are Good and Plenty and NECCO Wafers. Those and Cracker Jack and Tootsie Roll are four form the 1890’a. You first heard the crunch of Utz and Wise Potato Chip s around 1921. Rold Gold Pretzels rolled in around 1917. Planters drove America Nuts even earlier in 1916. Some others born between 1910 and 1920 are Lance crackers, Sun Maid Raisins and Mars Compnay, The oldest company is Keebler which began way back in 1854. Of the big chocolate giants, Hersey is 15 years older than Nestele but 70 years newer than Cadbury.
