It's been years since I've seen a Clark bar. There were like a Butterfinger but thicker and with a softer peanut butter core. Reese's Nutrageous bars are almost impossible to find. I used to eat them all the time in the early 90's. Got a corner store with Clark bars,zero bars and zagnuts. I have trouble finding chocolate Paydays. And miss Bonkers. |

When baseball had their own player candy bars. Kirby Puckett Bar. Ken Griffey Jr Bar. Mark Grace Bar. Plenty of examples well before that. Reggie Jackson. Mickey Mantle. The list goes on and on.
The strike pretty much set the table for that to end. (Above examples were post-strike too, but still. The writing was on the wall after MLB shot itself in the foot.
Also the bomb: Bonkers!

I used to eat them all the time in the early 90's. Their's a specialty candy store in town that sells both Clark bars and Zagnut bars. I go every half year or so pick up a couple. |

LEMON. JOLLY. RANCHERS. Don't get me wrong, the blue ones have been my favorite since they showed up. But the lemon ones were my favorite before that. Why'd they have to get rid of the best one? Get rid of watermelon or grape, not the good one! Don't fret, you can still get them at Dollar Tree. Bags of just lemon flavored ones. I think I *may* have seen bags of just lemon at Wal-Mart, too. |

If you're talking about the 3 bars they released in 2005 to promote the movie, hell yeah! Came in here to post those. 12 years on and I still want those Fudgemallow Delights and Triple Dazzle Caramels. |

Bonkers (It's actually getting ready to be re-released), I'm not a big fan of the candy so much as I am a fan of 1980's comic book ads.

I don't have anything for this thread, because my stock answer for this question was brought back. All hail the Crispy M&Ms.

I see Clark and the like at wegmans, but that is a regional chain.
For me Bonkers, no doubt, Nestle Alpine White, and Grape Swedish Fish. I even joined a Facebook group about that last one.

Two that come to mind are chocolate Paydays, last time I have seen then were when I was at my car's stealership getting warranty work done on it, and Jolly Rancher Fire Stix, which were cinnamon Jolly Ranchers stretched out to the size of Airheads.
Also, I have seen the big Lemonheads, those ones the size of an Atomic Fire Ball jawbreaker in a while. I wonder if they ever made Cherryheads of those, a candy I would have mentioned if they haven't popped up recently at my local corner store recently.

The closest thing I have found to Bonkers are Hi-Chews.

Reese's Crunchy Cookie Cups
PB Crisps-While this may not technically be a candy I don't know of any other real way to classify them.

Get rid of watermelon or grape, not the good one! Believe it or not, they actually just started selling the lemon ones again recently. You can get a full bag of them. I genuinely hate the blue ones. Jolly Rancher gummis are also one of the few gummis I'll eat now since Amazin' Fruit no longer exists. Seriously, I don't get why it's so difficult to f*** up gummi bears now. Black Forest and Brachs changed their formulas and they now taste like shit. |

-PB Max -Reese's Chocolate Cookie Cups -Take 5 Chocolate Cookie Version -Hershey's Thingamajig -Hershey's Bar None We must share the same brain or something. I certainly remember all of these candies. My favorite was the Reese's Chocolate Cookie Cups. Holy crap. They do have a new cookie variant out now but it's with crumbles, not a solid cookie base. If you can find them, there's an Overload cup pack with cookie cups. |
