Hi everybody...If you were as old as G-Man you would certainly remember The Sky Bar!! introduced by Necco in 1938, the Sky Bar was the very first American candy bar to have 4 distinct individual flavors..Caramel..Vanilla..Peanut..and Fudge. This used to be a very common candy bar of the 40's 50's and 60's. It was my favorite!! It is still being produced by Necco, but it is very very hard to find.
.
The Heath Bar was introduced in the 20's..It's a delicious hunk of very thin English Toffee, covered with creamy milk chocolate, It's now owned by Hershey's..
.
The Snickers Bar, is made by Mars. It was introduced in the 30's. And it's awesome mixture of peanuts, caramel, nougat, and milk chocolate, is the largest selling candy bar in the world.
.
The Hershey Bar, has been virtually unchanged since 1894 when it was first introduced. I can always remember the old guy at the corner grocery store always bellowing outloud...
"Hershey Bar?...Male or Female?....( He meant, with nuts...or without nuts)
Of course all of these candy bars used to be a tad bigger, and they were only a nickel each!
Hmmm...I think I need to bust open my photo shoot now...Peace!!

It all looks good to me! Except maybe the Snickers. You can have that.:)

I love the male/female Hershey Bar thing.
That is now going to become a part of my world...meaning, I'll be using that with regards to candy bars now.
That's only too awesome.
I had this history teacher in junior high named Mr. Reader and he was the bestest teacher in the whole world and he loved Snickers bars. And since all of his students loved him so very very much, we would always bring him Snickers bars. He had a jar FULL of them on his desk containing his Snicker bars gifts. I missed him so much when I went on to high school.
Heath bars are sooooo yummy, but haven't had one in so long.
You always make me hungry!
For G-man, of course.
:)

I know what a Big Hunk is....
I love these retro posts, G-man. I actually just watched a documentary on the discovery channel the other day that discusses the orgin of candybars in America. It should how they were made, packaged and shipped as well as the evolution of this process over the decades. Fascinating stuff...
mmmmm....hershey's, snickers, my mouth is watering!
I also make a Heath Bar cake, it is very rich but good for outings with lots of folks.
Hope you have a lovely day!
Chocolates ... hmmmmm
I like them sometimes, but am not crazy about them like Lime :)
Quality Street's my Favourite & I like turfed chocolate too & some of Hershey's flavors.

Do you remember the 7UPS bar? I think it had a clear layer of candy - how strange. I didn't remember the sky bar. I'm a Mounds girl myself.
