late 1960s early 1970s they were the best candy bar available. And they were really big also
I am sure someone has a link / pic of them
Must have went out of business or something. maybe was giving the consumer too much a=of a candy bar and the big candy bar makers ran them out of town ?

I had to look that up because I vaguely remember that name. They were discontinued however, they now have a replacement for it called the "Curly-Wurly" (Marathon Bar) made by Cadbury but, they have to be imported from England. https://www.oldtimecandy.com/walk-th...-marathon-bar/
The Marathon Bar was a full eight inches of braided caramel covered in milk chocolate. Mars introduced it in 1973 and thanks to its bright-red package and extra long size, it stood out among the competition.
Here is the original packaging. Amazing! Only 15 cents back then!

That would be them !!
I remember riding my bike to the local little small town grocer and buying them with my paper route money !
I would have my mouth so jammed full of marathon bar I could not even say hello. They were ultra chewy ( obvious from the caramel ) and man were they good. Perfect blend of rich smooth chocolate over chewy caramel

I remember these from my youngest childhood - there was a liquor store where my dad would stop sometimes on the way home and I remember picking one based on the commercial where the bar just kept coming out of the package, never coming to an end. The braided look was cool, and when I bit into it the chocolate kinda crumbled away from it. I remember chewing and chewing, and I wasn't able to finish it. What's strange is the memories of other things sold in that liquor store that this triggered. At the bottom of the endcap where they stocked the candy, they had open boxes of licorice - black or red, and they were 2c a piece. They were sold loose in those open boxes, so unsanitary for today's standards!
Campbell's Pepper Pot was actually tripe soup. Yes, I know what that is and it never decreased my appetite for the soup.
Where I live there is a large community of Italian-descended people who love their tripe. When some of the local restaurants advertise there will be "tripe on Thursday", the line is out the door waiting for a table.
Sounds like the Meximelt - in the 90s, they had fresh pico on them and were delicious. Supposedly they still make them, but I bet they taste nothing like they did in the 90s (I wouldn't know, I haven't eaten at taco bell in years). https://www.tacobell.com/food/specialties/Meximelt
The Meximelt was the best single food product Taco Bell ever put out. I realize that is an awfully low bar, but it really was tasty and simple enough to be consistent.
