Hell yes, Marathon bar was my go to! Butternut was awesome, Clarks and Peter Paul candy selections where amazing. I'm just happy they have kept the Zero White fudge bar, so amazing.
You forgot the Marathon Bar. “Lasts a good long time”. It was like a braided long chocolate covered caramel bar and was one of my favorites. The ads usually featured cowboys.
That is a good one. That cowboy they used to feature in the commercials was John Wayne's son. Pretty interesting little tid bit. Thank you for watching mcorleonep!
This will give away my age, lol..but i remember when candy bars were 5 cents for small one and 10 cents for the larger one. As a kid tho, any candy was good candy...never crazy about coconut candy, but would eat it ! Now my favorite is the Zero candy bar...white chocolate...yummy! Thanks for the trip down memory lane😂❤️✌️🙏
You're welcome Engineersoldiers_Spiritof76_21. Thankfully we still have the Whatchamacallit but it would be great if the others made another run. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistorywhatchamacallitt’s are not 5e same as when we were kids in the 80’s it’s too guey now..back then there was more rice crisp and way thicker so it was more crunchier with the caramel and chocolate…now it just tastes like a guey mess….way , way better back then.
One thing that stands out to me is the paper coupons that you could clip back in the day! I don't remember all of these bars, but a couple that I liked were the Choco'Lite and Whatchamacallit bars. Several people have also mentioned the Marathon bar, which a favorite of mine. You can still get it but it is called the Curly Wurly bar.
Marathon I remember, was about a foot long and actually had a ruler measuring it's length on the back wrapper to verify it was a foot long...And very good by the way.
@@susanbusbee Cadbury chocolate egg's were always a favorite during Easter when I was a kid...Marathon bars was kind of thicker and bigger, I was always too busy eating it as soon as I got one.
Summit was a favorite of mine, I also remember the Chunky candy bar that came with walnuts. Another favorite, but not a candy bar was the Brachs Bridge Mix. Never see that anymore
My grandfather would always have Bridge mix on the table. I would pick out the raisin and fruit jelly filled ones. You're right you don't see it anymore. That's a shame.
I had to laugh when this notification popped up! I was just looking to order Halloween candy from Walgreen's. They have some awesome deals on candy bars right now. Have to have something for Halloween! I'm not a huge candy person but I can get in trouble with what I do like! I loved the Crispy bar, hands down! 100,000 Grand is my all time favorite! I do like the Zero bar, too. I know I'm repetitive but these candy bars take me back to a simpler time in life. As everything else, all things good ole days remind me of my Dad. And, memories are all I have now so I'll keep strolling down that lane - with a little help from you, of course! Thank you, Rhetty! I hope all of you are doing well! Enjoy your day! Jen
Yeah, I don’t like when people say “times were better then” because what they really mlss is their innocence. Times may have been better for them, but for others it was just a different era. I’m glad you keep going down memory lane ‘cuz it sure is nice to feel so safe and warm with your family and friends. Good for you, Jen! Keep living with dad in your heart (I loved your comment. Made me think of my mom)! 👍✌️
Thank You for adding Choco-lite bars. I loved those and miss those. I also loved the Summit bars, I remember the Clark bars and marathon bars. Some of these were really good, but for whatever reason just didn't sell enough. I guess not a enough people liked them.
If you like Choco Lite look for Nestle's Aero chocolate bars. They're pretty much the same thing. I get them at World Market if you have one close to you.😊
The importance of our health kinda’ took over. Nowadays we gotta’ stay away from sunburns, not smoke, & slow down our drinking alcohol, as well (although alcohol’s actually shown itself to have its benefits!). Whatta’ drag! ✌️😊
Many of these candies were purchased by other companies and they are the ones that did away with the competitions candy. I'm not so sure it had anything to do with being health conscience. People will always love a good sweet!
@@RhettyforHistory And the Kool-aid commercials are gone because? We hardly ever see either Coca Cola or Pepsi ads on tv why? I can’t find Peggy Lawtons anywhere & I don’t even know if McDonalds sells their apple pies anymore. Our health concerns have pretty much made a lot of our favorite treats disappear. People do still love a sweet bite, but we’re forced to pretend that we don’t. 😕
Yes it is very similar. I have had that one and think it is pretty good. It's a different texture and feel to eating chocolate. Thank you for watching Carleton!
I used to eat the Sky Bar quite a bit as a kid. It was a segmented chocolate bar with a different filling in each section. Also ... I loved the Milkshake bar, but it was not generally available in stores. The only place I could get it was at the snack shack at the small beach on the lake not far from my house.
One I would have liked to have tried was the Pearson's "Seven Up" bar. Not related to the soda, but a bar that had seven kinds of filling! Mint, nougat, butterscotch, fudge, coconut, butter cream and caramel! Everything I love! Peter Paul had that infectious jingle for "different bites for different likes" in the 70s! I can't remember one of them, but it was "Powerhouse, No Jelly, " " and Caravelle! Peter Paul makes a mouth taste swell...!" The ones in current day I miss were generally Halloween editions including the Hershey's S'mores Bars and the only thing I'll eat candy corn in these days which was a white chocolate bar with it mixed in as pieces!
I think the "Seven Up" Bar was the only candy Bar I didn't like. Tried one in '77. I still remember being so excited when I bought it. But, then being disappointed when it wasn't good. Three of the Flavors in the Bar were barely edible. I tried one again several Years later and it was still not a good candy Bar.
Aw, I was diagnosed with diabetes in 1977 (I’d just turned 8 in January). Y’all just brought back my days of getting my thrill on with Mounds bars after playing my hockey games (sorry Almond Joy, I would never “feel like a nut”!). Are Mounds even still being made? I also remember loving to get out of my low blood sugar levels with a Mounds bar. It was almost worth the low! Ahh, good times. Thanks again, Rhetty. Good post (as usual)! ✌️
@@lainiwakura1776 YES! As you can imagine, I don’t buy a lot of candy and stuff, but (if I can) that’s what I’ll be giving out this Halloween. Thanks, I’ll keep my eyes peeled the next time I’m at Walmart. 👀 The kids oughta’ like having a choice of one or the other this year, eh? YES!!! 😊👍✌️
I'm a Mounds girl myself. My Walmart had them on clearance awhile back and I noticed the regular sized bars were gone but the little ones in the bag or 6pk are still being sold.
Clark bars were my favorite!!! I thought they were still around. 😳 Ten candy bars for a $1.00!!! Not a huge candy person, but I definitely loved how cheap they were growing up. Thank you my friends! 😊
They are still around and you can buy them but I haven't seem them in my area in quite some time. Thank you for watching and letting us know that the Clark bars are your favorite!
Hi Rhetty! Thanks for posting this video! One candy bar that I love but is in serious financial trouble is the Mars brand bar. Unfortunately- one problem with this candy being financed is that five countries including the US and the UK want a piece of the pie in producing this bar which includes material and production costs split five different ways and there are also concerns with profit divisions. The last time I was a BA Sweetie Candy Company in Cleveland, OH where I am from- the bar was no longer on the shelves. I hope this is not the case- but this was one of my favorite bars to the current date! I will never forget the smell or taste of it! Thanks for posting this video and God Bless!
Thanks for the memories, Rhetty! 😊 I used to love the Summit and Whatchamacallit bars. 🥰 I miss and have told my kids how a dollar used to buy a whole bag of candy and snacks.
Funny you posted this one today, as yesterday I was visiting my mums home town in the country. While I was there I just had to visit the towns own Licorice Factory. I purchased giant freckles, rocky road, chocolate coated raspberry licorice and coconut covered chocolates. Thank Rhett ❤Jodie 🇦🇺…… Hi Paul 👋🇺🇸
Never got to personally experience this, but I really want 3 Musketeers to revive the original concept of 3 small bars, one with chocolate, one strawberry and one vanilla.
I remember my sister buying the Choco' Lite bars. I think she was under the impression that since the word "Lite" was in the name, it was somehow healthier that regular chocolate!
The chocolate candy bars that I wish would come back are the Nestles Chocolate and Chocolate Almond bars, I thought that they both tasted better than Hershey's Chocolate and Chocolate Almond bars by mile.😊
I miss Willy Wonka's Oompas. They were a candy coated peanut butter and chocolate candy. Much like peanut butter M&Ms but the M&Ms are not the same. Since some of the old fashion candies can be found at Crackle Barrel maybe we'll see some of these there someday.😊
The two I miss the most are the Willy Wonka Skrunch bar and the Marathon bar. Both were amazing -- the Skrunch bar because it tasted so delicious, and the Marathon bar because it took a half-hour to eat.
I just bought a Whatchamacallit few days ago at Walmart. Gone but not forgotten! 😋 Does anyone remember Bar None? It was kind of like a cookie candy bar. Those were good!
I haven't seen the Reggie Bar in my area but I know you can buy them online. A company came back out with them last year. It may be a limited time though. I do see the Charleston Chew from time to time but not real often. Thank you for watching norwoodwildlife9849!
You can see how important the packaging and marketing was for these bars. Kids were not going to pick up a bar that looked boring, but if they saw a great ad on TV, they would look for that bar on the shelf. Put red or yellow and a dynamic picture on the package or forget it. The name was important, too. I would never have tried something named Zagnut.
I had my first Zagnut candy bar when I was 42 years old, which was last year. A store by my house use to sell them, and they became my favorite candy bar. Sadly now, I can’t find them anymore. Thanks Rhett, for this fun video😊!
3:26 If you live near a store that has a good international foods section, you can get something similar called an Aero bar. The one I want to see come back is the peanut butter Twix in its original form with the shortbread cookie. They’ve brought it back a few times, but it’s always with a chocolate cookie that tastes similar to a ground up Oreo wafer and it’s not as good.
Choco’Lite! I miss it. I’d get them from Hook’s drugstore in the 70’s until they stopped making them. My mom would get a Zero and I’d get the Choco’Lite.
I was surprised that I did not know all that many of ones you had in this video. I do remember the Clark bar, Caravelle and Whatchamacallit bars which I liked. However, since I was a little girl my go to candy bar has always been Snickers which thankfully are still around. Enjoyed this one even if I did not recognize very many!
Some of those old commercials are really funny: for the Almond Cluster ad, “ugly but beautiful” _could_ be interpreted as, “nothing to look at, but hey nice body!” 👙😆 Others make me wonder if I’ve been in a coma. I did not know Whatchamacallit & Thingamajig are no longer sold. 😳
I used to love the Marathon bar in the 70s my dad would give me a pocket full of change at his store I'd buy a soda and a Marathon bar and go to the break room and watch cartoons. That Marathon bar would last me about an hour.
I do miss my Butternut, Milkshake, Whatchamacallit, and Oh Henry bars. Clark, and Zagnut were good on occasion, but I didn't get those very often. In the words of Bob Hope, thanks for the memories. 😁
Really enjoyed the Whatchamacallit. I thiink it was just a quarter. One bar I miss but I don't believe it is discontinued is the Chunky. I have not seen one in years.
I miss the Nestlé Alpine White bar the most!! A white chocolate bar loaded with almonds...heavenly!! Discontinued in the late 80's or early 90's 😢 There's a very 1980's commercial featuring it here on YT ✨️
I was born in 1980, so Whatchamacallit is the only one of these I remember. I could have sworn I saw some of those at the gas station near my parents' house recently, along with one called Whosawhatsit (?) that may or may not be similar to Thingamajig. Next time I'm down there, I will have to check.
I was born in the late 70's, and all of these candy bars, except the "Whatchamacallit", were discontinued before I was even old enough to eat them. That sucks because they looked so delicious, why couldn't I have been born a few years earlier. 😆
So few candies (especially chocolate) are available now and many that are, don't taste the same. I miss Caravelle, zagnut, and also one, I think Brach's had it, a white chocolate bar with a creamy peanut butter filling.
GROWING UP IN THE 50S, I LOVED "ROCKY ROAD", "ALMOND JOY","MOUNDS", "MOUNTAIN BAR", "SNICKERS", "THREE MUSKATEERS", "MILKY WAY" AND "GIRADHELLI FLICKS" !

5 for 37 cents, now that's what I'm talking about 😅 !! Loved it Rhett, thanks !! Have a great day 👍👏 thingamajig 😂
Sounds like a real bargain now days, doesn't it? Thank you for watching and I hope you have a great day as well Lisa!
Consider when it was sold and then adjust for inflation
4:40 five for a dollar! Nowadays, it’s practically one for five dollars 🤣
They have went up big time! Thank you for watching Brian!
I pay 9 bucks for a locally made chocolate lilikoi (passionfruit) bar here in Hawaii, but its worth every penny!
You forgot the Marathon Bar. “Lasts a good long time”. It was like a braided long chocolate covered caramel bar and was one of my favorites. The ads usually featured cowboys.
with Quick Carl, he did everything fast except when he had a Marathon bar.

Isn't that a Snickers?
Marathon, say no more! ❤
That is a great unique bar. Thank you for watching samanthab1923!
Yeah, Marathons surely satisfy every time! 👍✌️
In England they used to call a Snickers bar a Marathon bar, because Snickers sounds too much like women's underwear.
Zagnut!!! Most underrated candy bar of all time!!!
Thank you for watching and mentioning the Zagnut!
Zagnut was prominently depicted in a scene in 48Hours (movie).
Beetlejuice is my only memory of this candy bar. Never found it on store shelves after the movie was released.
Nestlé Chunky, with its shining silver wrapper! Peanuts and raisins enrobed in milk chocolate🤤
I forgot about those!
Thank you for watching and sharing one you liked!
Chunky is still sold. I find them at Five Below.
Man I would sure like a clark bar or ten right about now. 😂 Sounds so good.
I haven't seen them where I am but the are still being made. Thank you for watching Randy!
The Whatchamacallit is still around.
I had one not very long ago.

That’s my go to candy bar now. My husband brought one home to me a couple of days ago. I also like Milky Way. I miss Mars candy bars.
When bars were a nickel, Zero bars were four cents.
Oh my God! I loved the Star Bar, Summit, Whatchamacallit and Choco'Lite; they were so good! Thanks for the memories.

I had my first Zagnut candy bar when I was 42 years old, which was last year. A store by my house use to sell them, and they became my favorite candy bar. Sadly now, I can’t find them anymore. Thanks Rhett, for this fun video😊!
3:26 If you live near a store that has a good international foods section, you can get something similar called an Aero bar.
The one I want to see come back is the peanut butter Twix in its original form with the shortbread cookie. They’ve brought it back a few times, but it’s always with a chocolate cookie that tastes similar to a ground up Oreo wafer and it’s not as good.
Choco’Lite! I miss it. I’d get them from Hook’s drugstore in the 70’s until they stopped making them. My mom would get a Zero and I’d get the Choco’Lite.
How about the Willy Wonk Scrunch bar? I was my all-time favorite!
Thank you for these weekly trips down nostalgia avenue🍫🍬🍭 Happy Spooktober👻🎃
The one chocolate bar I miss is the Rally bar. Thanks for a great video!❤️
You're welcome BunkyBinx. Thank you for watching and letting is know about the one you miss.
The spiritual successor to Summit is the Reese’s Sticks.
Thank you for watching mdf3530!
I was surprised that I did not know all that many of ones you had in this video. I do remember the Clark bar, Caravelle and Whatchamacallit bars which I liked. However, since I was a little girl my go to candy bar has always been Snickers which thankfully are still around. Enjoyed this one even if I did not recognize very many!
The Toffee Crisp bar was a great candy bar !
Thank you for watching and letting us know which one you liked Jim!
Classic 80’s
Good Morning Rhett ‼️🙋🏽
Good morning Carole! Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory you're welcome 👍🏽
Oh yum! Summit bars! I ate my weight in those damn things.
Some of those old commercials are really funny: for the Almond Cluster ad, “ugly but beautiful” _could_ be interpreted as, “nothing to look at, but hey nice body!” 👙😆
Others make me wonder if I’ve been in a coma. I did not know Whatchamacallit & Thingamajig are no longer sold. 😳
I used to love the Marathon bar in the 70s my dad would give me a pocket full of change at his store I'd buy a soda and a Marathon bar and go to the break room and watch cartoons. That Marathon bar would last me about an hour.
Chocolate is a dog-eat-dog world! Thanks, Rhetty!
It sure is. They are constantly trying to do something first over the competition. Thank you for watching my friend.
I wish they would bring back the Reggie Bar .
That one is actually back. It came back in 2023 but it is in limited markets. Try ordering that one online. Thank you for watching!
Wonderful! ☮️💟
Thank you for watching JChow-e1c!
I do miss my Butternut, Milkshake, Whatchamacallit, and Oh Henry bars. Clark, and Zagnut were good on occasion, but I didn't get those very often. In the words of Bob Hope, thanks for the memories. 😁
Peter Paul doesn't call it power house for nothing.... Loved that commercial
That was another big one that used to be around. Thank you for watching and mentioning that one 2012566!
Really enjoyed the Whatchamacallit. I thiink it was just a quarter.
One bar I miss but I don't believe it is discontinued is the Chunky. I have not seen one in years.
I haven't seen the chunky either. Thankfully you can still get the Whatchamacallit if you wanted to. Thank you for watching!
I’d love the house on my block where we always got Chunkys. That lady was the best! 👍😊
I miss the Nestlé Alpine White bar the most!! A white chocolate bar loaded with almonds...heavenly!! Discontinued in the late 80's or early 90's 😢
There's a very 1980's commercial featuring it here on YT ✨️
Hmm, maybe I will have to make my own versions of some of these candy bars.
That would be nice Rachel! Thank you for watching!
I was born in 1980, so Whatchamacallit is the only one of these I remember. I could have sworn I saw some of those at the gas station near my parents' house recently, along with one called Whosawhatsit (?) that may or may not be similar to Thingamajig. Next time I'm down there, I will have to check.
It seems like Peter Paul had some good ideas for candy bars. No wonder Cadbury bought them.
They really did have some good ones! Thank you for watching!
Power House, Clarks and I can't remember but what was the chocolate coved caramel bar that was twisted in a braid? Marathon???
The only one I remember on this list was Summit bars. I think I remember Caravelle. I guess most really didn’t sell that well.
Thank you for watching and sharing what you remember NemeanLion-!
Not a bar but Oompas were amazing. They were like large peanutbutter M&Ms.
I miss BUTTERNUT, for real!😢
Thank you for watching and sharing which one you want back aridian7787!
@@RhettyforHistory : very welcome!🙏🙌🇺🇸
Marathon Bar! Love those! Im happy they haven't discontinued 5th Avenue Bar!
Thank you for watching and sharing what you enjoy David!
I was born in the late 70's, and all of these candy bars, except the "Whatchamacallit", were discontinued before I was even old enough to eat them. That sucks because they looked so delicious, why couldn't I have been born a few years earlier. 😆
So few candies (especially chocolate) are available now and many that are, don't taste the same. I miss Caravelle, zagnut, and also one, I think Brach's had it, a white chocolate bar with a creamy peanut butter filling.
This is fascinating. I remember several of those.
My favorite was the Virginia bar
Thank you for watching and sharing your favorite Eisert316!
Whatchamacallit was my favorite! 😋
Thankfully we can still get that one. Thank you for watching cj57!
@RhettyforHistory let's see some Halloween favorites from way back, like wax lips and 'cigarettes' that smoked ☺️ I loved Wacky Packs.
I remember when the No Jelly bar came out. Aways thought that name was weird.
It is a weird one. Did you ever try it? Thank you for watching Brian!
@@RhettyforHistory No, I don't remember having one. But I might have tried it once. So long ago. I enjoy your channel very much.
I remember Penny Candy.
Some stores had a candy counter with over 100 candies to choose from.
GROWING UP IN THE 50S, I LOVED "ROCKY ROAD", "ALMOND JOY","MOUNDS", "MOUNTAIN BAR", "SNICKERS", "THREE MUSKATEERS", "MILKY WAY" AND "GIRADHELLI FLICKS" !
Perfect video for Halloween 🎃 around corner
You're right about that Jessica! Thank you for watching!

Oh I miss Watchamacallits, they were so so good.
Fortunately those are still around. Hopefully they are in your area. Thank you for watching!
The Choco lite bar is now sold as Aero bar, and you can find it at Jungle Jim's in Eastgate in Batavia, OH. It's marketed from Great Britain.
They do have a good one from the UK. Thank you for watching Beth!
