Mars Bar - Loved it! Was sad when it was gone. GOOD NEWS! Snickers Almond is the same!

Sugar Mama - Just like Sugar Daddy but with an added fudge/chocolate covering. Mmmm... Too bad it's gone.

Marathon is now called Snickers.

back in the 60's Black Cow was like the Sugar Daddy, a rectangular caramel sucker on a stick, covered in chocolate

The Marathon bar I used to eat as a child were quite different than a snickers.  It was a long caramel braid covered in chocolate; no nuts.  Damn, I miss those...

Where Have All The Candy Bars Gone?

Bar Six
It was kinda like a Kit Kat.

In the US the Marathon was like a UK Curly-Wurly bar.

I used to think Whatchamacallits were no longer made, but I saw some at 7-Eleven a couple of years ago and still see them from time to time.

I bought a Watchamacallit recently.  From the quality, I think they're no longer made; they're still trying to unload the stock left over from 1983!
:P

It's been a long time since I've seen Charleston Chews in strawberry or banana flavor.  Maybe I just haven't been looking.  I'm not about to subject my middle-aged teeth to that industrial adhesive masquerading as Charleston Chew nougat!  I've done enough damage to 'em already!

Summit bars are gone, and I haven't seen a Superchunk in quite a while either. 

I'm still trying to find the bit o honey I asked about around halloween...

I have not seen these packs of tiny chiclets around for a long time and not sure if they make them anymore. I loved them  :)

How 'bout the wax bottles, with the colored syrup?

I saw something in the supermarket the other day I hadn't seen for years.  It was a type of chewing gum/bubble gum shaped like little gold nuggets.  It comes in a small drawstring bag.  There was only one shop back home that sold it when I was a kid and that shut down years ago.

Gold rush gum was my favorite

I found this site awhile back looking for this gum....

Bar None was almost the same thing.

Here is another place to find old time candy...

Blueberry Hubba Bubba

candy cigarettes

Whistle Pops

I loved Lemonheads as a kid, and although Lemonheads are still being made, they're very hard to find.

I used to love Clark Bars, but never see them for sale anywhere other than the internet
http://www.oldtimecandy.com/images/candypix-original/clark-2.jpg

another I liked was Zero http://www.oldtimecandy.com/images/candypix-pages/zero_small.jpg

I haven't seen any of these around http://www.candywrappermuseum.com/03_classics/cx_zagnut.jpg

In Oroville, we still have things like:

-Zero
-U-No
-Chunky
-Cherry Chan
-Idaho Spud

I hardly ever see Clark and Zero candy bars anymore; if I do see them I will usually buy a couple.

I think it was around Valentine's Day a year or so ago when I saw a news spot about a (relatively) local candy store that specialized in "old time" candy.  I think I found the website for it just now.  It's called the Old Time Candy Company, and one of the trademarks is "Candy you ate as a kid."  Check it out and have fun reminiscing!  :)

Zotzs, hard candy that had a somewhat fizzy/sour liquid in the center.

Actually kinda gross if you think about it, but I loved them when I was a kid. During Halloween, the first type of candy I searched out of the goodies were the Zotzs.

Too bad their gone now.

Bonkers---Chewy candy with a juicy center--haven't had them since I was 15. They were so good.

Also haven't seen Lik'M'Aid (aka Fun Dip), which was a candy stick that you dipped in powder.

And there was this candy called Sparkies, which seemed very similar to Skittles.

2 out of 3 are still found, in Oroville.
Sparkies & Lik-M-Aid, which my daughter likes.

*shudder*

Peanut Butter Twix, though that was temporary and might comeback again like the "Mc Rib" or whatever...

Yep, that's here too.

Anyone remember...."Twookies"?

I have noticed that Necco wafers are harder to find, and I live only a mile from the Necco factory.  ???

Almost everything I like :(

M&MS PLAIN - Changed to skim milk in 2000 (From reg milk)
Hersheys bar - Changed in 2004
Milky way - Changed to skim milk in 2000

Very sad indeed.........

Tubble Gum: pink gum in a squeezable tube.  I used to love this stuff.
Hubba Bubba gum.  They don't even make this anymore.
Chiclets gum.

Yogos....
Though I think this a snack moreso than a candy.

You used to dip the stick into the different flavor pouches and enjoy. 

I loved Bazooka bubble gum. Do they still make it?

I really don't think so. ??? But you still get them from vintage candy shops online.

It seems so.  They recently replaced the comic strips with puzzles to update the packaging.

There is a Bazooka bubble gum Facebook page!

Sweet-tart saucers and hubba bubba cherry coke gum.

The second one, sounds somewhat familiar to me.

Does anybody remember the Big Turk Bars? I can't seem to find them anywhere but in Bulk Barn and in online antique candy stores.

Those were recently discontinued permanently.
