Description: From women’s fashion to the meteoric rise of Stranger Things on Netflix, the resurgence of ‘80s themes is reaching all markets in 2017. Boston America has introduced three new products inspired by the trend. Available this spring are Rubik’s Cube, Magic 8 Ball and Ms. Pac-Man Arcade licensed tins.

Rubik’s Candy Sours come in a replica of the ‘80s novelty, but this one is filled with colorful fruit candy. It’s packed in a 12-piece counter display.

The familiar Magic 8 Ball tin comes packed with 1.5 oz. of Blue Raspberry triangle candy fortunes. The tins are available in a 9-piece counter display.

Dressed in her original ‘80s graphics, the Ms. Pac-Man Arcade Ghosts tin is an arcade cabinet filled with 0.6 oz. of Blue Raspberry ghosts. The tins are available in a 12-piece counter display.
