Gone but not Forgotten - The Candy R.I.P List

People love browsing though all the nostalgic retro candy that I have in my candy store. There are not too many places that carry Bun Bars, Mallo Cups, Zero Bars and Zagnuts like I do at the Glen Ellyn Sweet Shoppe. However, for every brand that has endured, there are many that have sadly been discontinued. Some of them, like Bubs Daddy Gum and the Chocolite Bar were my favorites. Check out this Gone but not Forgotten list and see if you can find your favorites.

• Bar None Candy Bar
• Bit-O-Licorice
• Black Cow
• Bonomo Turkish Taffy
• Bubs Daddy Gum
• Butternut Candy Bar
• Chicken Dinner Candy Bar
• Chocolite Candy Bar
• Chum Gum
• Dweebs Candy
• Forever Yours
• Hollywood Candy Bars
• Horlicks Malted Milk Tablets
• Marathon Candy Bar
• Milkshake Candy Bar
• Oompahs
• Pal Bubble Gum
• PB Max Candy Bar
• Powerhouse Candy Bar
• Rally Candy Bar
• Reggie Bar
• Seven Up Bar
• Ton-O-Gum
• Wacky Wafers
• Wax Mustache (I think this may be making a comeback)
• Whiz Bar
• Yoo-Hoo Chocolate Bar

These are just a few, and we can always hope that they come back some day. Ok, maybe not the Chicken Dinner Bar. That came out at a time when candy bars, like Baby Ruth, were marketed as healthy, inexpensive meal replacements. Aahh, the good old days. I don't think that we can get away with that anymore. More on strange candy marketing campains is coming soon. In the mean time, check out the nostalgic candy at the Glen Ellyn Sweet Shoppe.
