"Whiz, the best candy bar there izz" wasn't necessarily true but the slogan sticks with me -gone but not forgotten candy

As the list indicates some of them do reappear once in a while. You can occasionally find Mars bars, and Forever Yours sometimes returns as 'blond' or 'dark chocolate' Milky Ways.

Some on the list like Forever Yours and chocolate covered Payday were quite good, just not as popular as the better know variant. It's amazing some on the list lasted as long as they did. Seven Up had some nasty jellys to round out its seven parts. The Reggie Bar was a mushy off-flavored version of a Baby Ruth. I remember Clove Gum, but I think it was mostly for adults wanting to hide the smell of tobacco and/or booze. The same company made Beemans (immortalized in the movie The Right Stuff) and Black Jack Gum, which had a bad reputation. I don't know why. Maybe stained one's tongue black, which would steer adults and older kids away from it.

The Forever Yours is one of my favorite candy bars. Now known as Milky Way Midnight, after a short stint as Milky Way Dark. Apparently not dark enough to be called that, though.
