The Fascinating Origins of Your Favorite Halloween Candies

Swedish Fish
Swedish candy producer Malaco is behind the creation of its aptly named Swedish Fish, which come in the shape of chewy, red, fish-shaped gummies.
It was developed in the 1950's for the US market as a nod to Sweden's huge fish culture and became especially popular in candy stores where you can buy items by weight. While Swedish fish are known for their signature red color, they are now available in more colors and flavors, including lemon-lime and orange.
Today, the candy is produced for US consumers in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and Turkey by Mondelez International. Somewhat ironically, it's marketed as a "fat-free food."
