Exploring the coffee candy in the childhood memories of the post-90s generation

Abstract: This paper explores the coffee candy in the childhood memories of the post-90s generation. Through the review of relevant literature and actual investigation, it is found that coffee candy occupies an important position in the childhood life of the post-90s generation. It is not only a common snack for children in the canteen after school, but also carries the beautiful memories of their childhood. The taste and aroma of coffee candy, as well as the unique taste it brings, allow the post-90s generation to evoke nostalgia and memories of their childhood when tasting it.

For many people born in the 1990s, there is a kind of coffee candy that is unforgettable in the taste memory of their childhood. The taste of coffee candy, which is sweet and bitter yet full of rich coffee aroma, carries too many childhood memories. But have you ever thought carefully about what the name of that coffee candy is?

Let us go back to that innocent era and explore the story of the coffee candies that the post-90s generation ate when they were young.

In the 1990s, China's candy market was not as dazzling as it is today, and coffee candy, as a relatively new candy, quickly became popular among children. The packaging design of coffee candy at that time was simple and elegant, usually with brown or dark red as the main color, printed with coffee patterns or simple English logos, giving people a foreign and fashionable feeling.

The taste of this coffee candy is really unforgettable. Its outer layer is sweet, but the inside has a bitter taste, just like the essence of espresso. Each candy is like a small coffee machine that can bring us a cup of rich coffee anytime and anywhere.

Regarding its name, perhaps due to the changes of the times and the vagueness of memory, we have forgotten it a little, but we can infer from the social background, cultural background and food trends at that time that this coffee candy may be a product of a certain brand, and the name of that brand may have become synonymous with this candy in our memory, or maybe it does not have a specific brand name, but is simply called "coffee candy."

During the exploration, we couldn't help but think of the time when we ate candy when we were young. In which season and festival was it? Who bought us this coffee candy? These fragments of memory gradually pieced together to form a vivid picture. In those days, the sun was always especially bright, and the air was filled with the sweetness of candy and the laughter of children.

This kind of coffee candy is not only a snack, but also a medium for cultural communication. Through it, we are exposed to Western coffee culture and feel its unique charm. It can be said that this kind of coffee candy not only satisfies our taste buds at that time, but also broadens our horizons.

Today, although there are all kinds of candies and snacks on the market, the taste and memory of the coffee candy we ate when we were children are always unforgettable. Whenever we talk about this topic, I believe that every post-90s generation can understand that the taste is the taste of childhood and the taste of memories.

We may have grown up, or have gone our separate ways, but that taste, that feeling, that memory will always be with us, like an invisible bond that connects us closely.

The existence of this coffee candy is like a mark of time, reminding us of that innocent era and those good times. Its name may not be important anymore. What is important is the feeling and good memories it brings us.

In the days to come, perhaps we will still remember that taste, and the coffee candy we ate when we were young. It is not only a memory of the taste buds, but also a carrier of emotions and memories. For us born in the 1990s, it is an irreplaceable existence.
