How long has razzles candy been out for?

There seems to be some confusion about when Razzles were first released. Here's what we know:

* 1974: Tootsie Roll Industries acquired the rights to Razzles from its original creators.

* 1970s (exact year unknown): Razzles were first marketed as a candy that "chews like gum" after it's been eaten.

* 1985: Razzles were reintroduced as the "gum that starts as candy." This is the branding that is most familiar to people today.

So, while the exact year of the original release of Razzles is unclear, it was sometime in the 1970s, and the brand has been around for at least 50 years.
