Mike and Ike Root Beer Float

Mike and Ike is an iconic American brand of chewy fruit-flavored candies that was first introduced in 1940. This particular variation, Root Beer Float, captures the nostalgic soda fountain flavor in the brand's signature oblong shape. Known for its soft texture and vibrant flavoring, the product remains a staple in the American candy market, often found in 'theater box' packaging like the one shown.

The brand is manufactured exclusively in the United States, primarily at the company’s production facility in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Since its inception, Mike and Ike has been produced by Just Born Quality Confections, a family-owned candy manufacturer that also produces other famous brands such as Peeps, Hot Tamales, and Goldenberg's Peanut Chews. The company has maintained its independent, family-owned status for over a century, continuing to operate out of its historic Pennsylvania headquarters.
