I found this at a local store, and was instantly transported to my childhood days

[MissMillie]

Haven't seen it in years, and just love it.

You?

Or is there something else that brings you back.... way back?

[MrScorpio]

1. Do they still make Chunky Bars?

I'd love a Chunky Bar

[MissMillie]

2. I don't know

That was one I never cared for (it had raisins in it.... blech!)

[qnr]

7. I occasionally see them at places like Big Lots n/r

[Broken_Hero]

37. Yeah, I see them from time to time out here

SW Missouri.

[Moondog]

38. You can still get them in Florida.

[progressoid]

3. Are the pieces still separated by that weird wax paper system?

I used to eat those all the time.

[MissMillie]

4. they are!

I didn't have too much trouble peeling it off though.

[progressoid]

6. When it was hot, sometimes we would put them in the fridge for a few minutes.

But not too long! Just long enough to get them off the wax paper.

They are better gooey, imho.

[kentauros]

5. Although I liked those way back when,

these days I would rename it "Bit-O-Filling-Removal-Putty" :P

[HopeHoops]

8. Sky Bars

The ones with the four different filled sections.

[Glorfindel]

9. Remember the little TV commercial jingle?

"Bit-O-Honey goes a long, long way, if you have one head it lasts all day."

[laylah]

10. Green River soda nt

[liberalitch]

12. Brownies,..... not Yohoos,.... brownies damn it.

[liberalitch]

11. These Mary Janes, Milkshake Bars, Chicco Sticks....

Where has my childhood gone?

[cwydro]

14. Chicco sticks!

I used to love those too!

And Zagnut bars.

[cwydro]

13. Oh yes!

I remember those. I don't think my teeth could take it now though.

Remember Now r'Laters?

[sammythecat]

15. Fabulous for removing unwanted dental fillings.

x(

[MissMillie]

16. I don't chew them until they get really soft in my mouth

(did I just say that?)

[sammythecat]

17. Oh my!

:blush:

[applegrove]

18. Never seen that.

[marzipanni]

19. Here are eight pages of childhood candy memories, in alphabetical order

mixed in with more common candy.

I used to love the penny candy counter at the country store in Concord, Massachusetts.

[dgibby]

20. Sugar Babies

Most of the old fashioned candies are now sold in Cracker Barrel restaurants.

[MilesColtrane]

21. I was a Spree and Bottle Caps man.

I'm sure my parents ended up paying for my dentist's his bass boat.

[tigereye]

22. those wax bottles with sweet juice in them... (well, it probably wasn't juice)

we used to get those in a small store near my elementary school.

[tigereye]

23. oh, and Turkish Taffy. I loved that stuff.

[Arugula Latte]

24. Razzles. It's a candy! No, wait! It's a gum!

Oh, and this takes me waaaay back, to Ohio, specifically:

Good old Little Tom pop.

[Kat45]

25. Yummies Candy in Kittery, ME carries lots of the old candies

And you can order them online.

http://www.yummies.com/

Actually, I found some Bit-o-Honey a few years ago, I think at Linens'n'Things, of all places.

:hi:

[timtom]

26. Powerhouse!

While other candy bars were a nickel, Powerhouse cost a dime! It was a quarter of a pound of candy!

It was like a Baby Ruth on steroids.

<Edit to add> And I was never able to finish one at one sitting. They were incredibly rich.

[Arugula Latte]

27. Remember those long Marathon bars:

My sister and I loved 'em. They were just chocolate-covered caramel.



(on edit: Doesn't the design of that label just encompass everything '70s?)


I guess these are the modern-day equivalent:

[vard28]

28. Pixie Stix

I'd always trade the cherry and grape ones to get the orange and lime ones!

[Broken_Hero]

29. Idaho Spuds, and Mountain Bars...

most people don't remember those candy bars at all. My mom would always send me to the store for Idaho Spuds, and my dads favorite was Mountain Bars, so I'd usually raid their stash, but more so my dads stash, cause Idaho spuds really didn't do it for me. My mom was almost always pregnant when I was growing up, so I'd have to run to the store often for Idaho Spuds, and various other treats.....

Oh, and Pilot Bread(Sailor Bread), I haven't seen those in...AGES.

eta:to clarify

[Left Is Write]

32. I can get Idaho Spuds whenever I want to, but I don't like them.

:)

[Broken_Hero]

33. I literally haven't seen an Idaho Spud

in over...shit, since like 93...same with mountain bars, those were great. I didn't like the coconut/marshmellow in the Spuds, but my mother was a coconut hound when she was pregnant...I did like it when she went on Mounds/Almond Joy benders, now those...I dig those.

[Left Is Write]

34. Oh, yeah...Almond Joy is one of my favorites.

I don't eat candy bars very often at all - usually one of the kids will give me an Almond Joy along with my birthday present. :)

[BlueJazz]

30. this >>

[Left Is Write]

31. I *love* Bit-O-Honey, but I can't eat it anymore.

Don't want to pull a crown out.

[rug]

35. The good old days.

[Broken_Hero]

36. Snap

crackle and pop, I haven't seen those since...damn, like the late 80's.
