Mounds/Almond Joy - Early 1970s - "You Can Share Half & Still Have Whole"

[MozartLover]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm..........Zagnut..............

Clark bars were great too.

[Silly]

Have one of these and I promise you'll feel better:

Best new candy bar, or variation of a candy bar, in a decade at least.

[Silly]

This Australian delight, "Violet Crumble," will make your eyeballs roll back. It's crispy honeycomb in dark chocolate. Melts like cotton candy....

When my band played in Oz for two summers (winters, there) the girls in the band gained a lot of weight eating these!

[Silly]

Now that you've got my mouth watering:

This new ad campaign is AWESOME. I'll bet Snickers sales are going through the roof.

My brother-in-law's brother works for M&M Mars. Joe says that a warm Snickers bar right off the assembly line is to die for.

[TEEHEE]

Coconut is disgusting. I can't shake the impression it's just toenails soaked in syrup.

AHHH! No way! Someone else with the coconut : nails thing. I've alway said coconut is like wet fingernails. So repulsive.

[Grammy]

from post 30........They changed the format to two pieces in 1929 so the consumer got more product of same quality for the same 5 cent price. "

So, you must have been eating some Reeeeaallly old candy bars.

That said, if this is the worst thing that happens in your life this week, things are pretty sweet!

Cadbury's Crunchie is better IMHO opinion the honeycomb is lighter not so dense. In Britain it is traditional to have honeycomb on sell at the seaside I always used to get a bag of it when I was a child. Click here for info on Crunchie and other Cadbury's products

And before you ask yes that is a photo just taken of a Crunchie Bar in my kitchen. :0)

[Grammy]

I remember those.... but only because I hated the jelly and thought it was a waste of good candy.

[Silly]

I've had the Crunchie, too, and like it -- but the Violet Crumble has darker chocolate. I think that's why I prefer it.

I need to find me a box of VCs on the Internet and stick them in my freezer...

[snugs]

Not sure how long they would last in the freezer the honeycomb may start to deteriorate

You can buy it here

I LUV coconut. And guess what?

It's really, really, and I mean really good for you!

[A knight without armor]

I know what jelly you are talking about. It was sort of an adult candy bar. It had a grown up taste. I'd love to have one now.

[A knight without armor]

I'm glad someone else enjoyed 7 Up bars. I swear I still can smell them and taste them.

[Silly]

I guess candy bars run the gamut from Aero to Zero:

Every once in a great while a get a hankering for one.

[cherry]

the large size Hershey bars used to be 7 to 8 oz.....now, the large size is only 5 oz and they try to think its a deal when the are charging more for less......

and what has happened to the price of those Starbuck Frappachinos that you buy in the store?......a 4 pk was over $7 today at Albertsons''''

[snarks_when_bored]

Let's don't start the endless list right now...I don't want my blood pressure to spike this late in the evening!

[oregon conservative]

I remember 7-Up candy bars too- they were very good. They were a favorite of mine. What happened to Black Cow suckers??

[snugs]

Not sheeped in syrupy sugar and covered in dark or milk chocolate but it is lovely. LOL

I love Bounty Bars in fact my local supermarket's own brand is good as well in fact I think I prefer it to Bounty it is not quite as sweet.
