I used to love the Caravelle. When I asked some friends if they remembered that
bar, they looked at me with blank stares.

Toffifay (little caramel cups filled w/ chocolate - not really a candy bar
I guess, but found on the candy bar rack)
100,000 Bar
Reggie bar
Whatchamacallit(today's version is a different recipe, with caramel I
believe. Definitely not as good as the original)
Charleston Chew (Chocolate flavor)
My least favorites were the Sky Bar (didn't like all the different fillings)
and the Chunky bar (hated the raisins).

I have a question, when exactly did they take the almonds out the 5th Avenue
candy bar.

OOoohhhh, I love that one Anne. I still remember the jingle (which mentioned
the caramel alot).
Other favorites that I can't find anymore (doesn't mean they don't make them,
just that I can't find them...they may or not) included Marathon, Milkshake,
Butternut, and Seven-Up. Others that they do make now included Zero, Payday,
Mars (though they actually make them better now), Snickers, Three Musketeers,
and that perennial southern fave, Goo Goo Cluster.

Gee........I have partaken a lot of candy then.......mostly because I had to
keep building my blood sugar which dropped dramatically low all the time
then. I would have to say it was a tie: Hershey's with Almonds and Mr.
Goodbar.

Can't agree with ya on the Mars bar. The old style - flat with just
Nougat, Chocoalte coating, and Almonds was a big favourite for me.
When they changed it and started cholling their nuts, I didn't like it
as well.
The Seven-Up bar, hands down. I never had to make up my mind about what
kind of candy bar I wanted 'cos it was all there.
I liked Marathon, too. And the Chunky bar that didn't have raisins.
Jeff Troutman
Two things:
1) What exactly was a Seven-Up bar?
2) How about the almighty Choco-Lite? I have been dying for a scan of a
wrapper. It was put out by Nestle, around 1978. Today, Nestle's Aero bar
(not out in the States) is similar -- and good.
Ron
A candy bar with seven segments, each with a different flavor/filling. I
regret that I've forgotten some of the flavors, and the order they came in.

Bit O' Honey was my favorite.

Is till have a great deal of trouble resiting the Mountain Bar.
Either Vanilla or Cherry, but not the Peanut Butter.
Also once in a while I would get a hankering for an Idaho Spud.
someone mentioned the Reggie Bar...my kid's really into 70's - era baseball (&
i dont even have to twist his arm that far!),anyone know if you can still find
these?

I like that one too. It never went away here in Canada. It's been
around since the 60s, maybe even before that. My favourite has always
been a Mars Bar.

> What was a Skybar?
A Skybar is a chocolate coated bar with four "compartments", each
containing a different flavored filling. These are (not sure about the
order): Marshmallow, Peanut butter, Caramel, and Fudge.
The Skybar is still around; we often get it in those honor-system snack
boxes at the office. Is this just a scaled-down version of the Seven-up
bar?

The scans are small and there doesn't appear to be an alphabetical list
(which would make it much easier to search for a particular wrapper) but
the gallery's still enjoyable.

That gives me a "Coming Soon" message, Jude, did you mean this one?
It leads to Bob's Candies which appear to specialize in hard candies
and candy canes. Are these from the '70s? Don't know the name myself.
