Favourite Discontinued Candy Bar

[briarbuck]

Sen-Sen! Rich's Cigar in Portland, Oregon, was one of the few places that sold them:

Not discontinued but difficult to find in the USA, Tim Tams:

American do not understand the infinite deliciousness that is inside a Tim Tam. Man those are delicious. Used to get them at Jungle Jims in Cincinnati.

I miss these from the 60's-70's. Would rip your teeth right from your head.

Apparently Atomic Fireballs were discontinued this year. I've lost faith in humanity.

I remember Hedgehog Flavoured Crisps.

How could one possibly eat a hedgehog?

Some cultures do.

Some cultures do.

To quote the late Euell Gibbons, "...many parts are edible."

Before I retired, I worked for the electric utility in Chicago. Ferrara Pan made Lemonheads, Boston Baked Beans and Red Hots. When I worked in the same neighborhood as Ferrara Pan and they were producing Red Hots the whole neighborhood smelled like cinnamon. If my memory is correct, they were in Forest Park, a suburb of Chicago. Not sure if they're still there.

They are around here too but read earlier that they've been discontinued.

There's probably a whole warehouse full of them.

Back in the 60's my grandmother lived a couple of blocks away, so we saw her several times a week. She always had a candy dish full of hard candy, little curly ribbons and red raspberries. They were always sticky...not very appetizing, even for a little kid.

If I remember correctly Atomic Fireballs were the favorite candy of the comic strip character Freddy, drawn by Robert Baldwin.

I guess it would be Power House but there are so many on the market that I just have them and I'm okay with them.

Do you mean the red raspberry candy with the soft center but the wrapper more resembled a strawberry? If so, my grandma and all grandmas seemed to have those in the 90s. And Worther’s origInals.

Not candy bars but Alexander the Grape and Gatorade gum. Also bazooka joe in a tube.

Apparently not discontinued but now not as widely available. I don’t get it.

I know the wrapped raspberry candies you're describing, but my grandmother's weren't wrapped. They were red and raspberry shaped with a soft center. This was the mid to late '60's. Maybe they didn't wrap them back then.
