Boomers: What was your favorite candy or candies as a child?

[Spuggy]

Rhubarb and custard, sherbet dips, blackcurrent and licorice, cinder toffee

[Cloudy Dayz]

Pretty much anything with chocolate. Hershey's, Krackel, Mounds, Almond Joy, and later when I got older Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and KitKats.

But I think one of my favorites was Seven Up Bars. Does anyone else remember these? They had everything in one bar.

The closest thing I ate was a Necco Skybar, which had four fillings. It was too sweet for me.

I never had those, but they do look pretty good. If I was still into eating candy, I could probably eat them. But yeah, they would be to sweet for me now.

Of course.

These 5 discontinued candy bars have a rabid cult following (Seven Up Bar is included). I don't remember some of the other ones!

Always a fan. Trader Joe’s has the best.
