Candy That Has Gone Bye-Bye

32 Comments on Candy That Has Gone Bye-Bye

1. The Reggie Bar. Dick Young, the great sports writer for the NY Daily News, had the best review of the Reggie Bar when Reggie was not doing well with the Yankees. “A chocolate fruit that turns to shit after you buy it”.

3. My memory no longer lets me eat candy.
   What as a youth cost a nickle or possibly a dime now costs $1.79 and is smaller.

4. Would get a ‘Christi Bar’ at the YMCA vending machine back in the 60’s

5. I had to say by over a year ago when my kidney was pounding on my back side to say no. I don’t miss it.

6. I don’t know about candy, but I’m still pissed they quit making the Nabisco fudge cookies, in the yellow and red package. They they served up those hideous snackwells. Not good enough, you bastards.

9. I actually like the Summit bar when I was a kid. Hell, it’s basically a Kit Kat with peanuts. Now, anything with toffee or caramel is my go-to when a craving hits.

   Since Hershey’s jumped into bed with the trans community, I’m hoping there is a replacement for Heath or Skor bars that I’m not aware of – looking at you, Uncle Al.

11. Marathon Bars were notorious for pulling a loose tooth.

12. As a kid I liked Bit-O-Honey and Mary Jane penny candies. They’re still made, but I haven’t seen them for years. And as Mr aircubed points out, they’re good at ruining expensive dental work.

13. Can you still get the little Kool-aide filled wax bottles?
    Those chalky candy cigs were fantastic as well.

14. What kid didn’t pretend that he was trying to act cool while puffing on a candy cigarette that let out a little puff of smoke back in the early 60’s. I’ve got some old B&W pictures of myself and my brothers puffing away on candy cigarettes. Idaho spud bars are still good, and they still sell them in this part of country.

15. Is the Mars bar gone? Hard to find, maybe, but I don’t know if it’s gone.

    I love Three Musketeers but you have to hire a detective to find it.

16. Peanut butter Mountain bars are good too. I never cared for the ones filled with cherry cream, they were way too sweet.

17. Wild Bill, I think I have seen Bit-O-Honey at Cracker Barrel. That’s where I have to go when I crave a Zero bar.

18. There used to be “candy stores” that made a living just selling candy – well, maybe newspapers, too.

21. As a kid we used to walk the ditches for bottles. 3 cents and a nickle deposits. Mary Jane’s, Black Jacks, Bazooka and I remember Caramels and Squirrels which were a toffee with nuts 2 and 3 for a penny. Used to share my goodies with my Grandpa but he’d never eat more than a couple.

    The good old days when you didn’t live with your head on a swivel. Damn I miss those times.

32. Black Jack, Clove & Fruit Stripe gum are pretty much extinct. Zagnut candy bars were my favorite back in my young days. Dollar General still carries them on a limited scale, but they sell out quickly.
