Didn’t they turn the other 2 into charleston chew? And were you around at the time?

My memory of a candy bar with differing flavors was the Seven Up candy bar. It was still around in the late 1950s. No more of course.

Why would anyone respond with such a negative comment to an innocuous posting?

Originally manufactured in my old hometown of Newark, New Jersey.
I forget her name, but the woman who is a gazillionaire, the Mars family fortune, had a house up in Somerset County, a super wealthy area of NJ, home to Malcolm and Steve Forbes, Trump, DeLorean, Diamond Jim Brady, Onassis,
several others, her house is one beautiful mansion. Nice to have money!
Lol.....Great candy too.
Thanks for the post.

Yes, why interject a topic as toxic as that about a simple story about a candy bar?

LWW, I worked for and retired from M&M/Mars. Worked in the Chicago plant for thirty years. Very good company to work for. My uncle also worked there and would always bring candy bars when he would visit. I worked on a production line making the bars and later transferred to the chocolate plant producing chocolate. When candy bars were a nickel I didn't have a nickel but now that they're a dollar I can actually afford two or three.🤣

I bought a box of Raisin Bran cereal a while back and was taken aback when I noticed the box is the same height and width but is now less than two inches deep! It won’t even stand upright on the shelf by itself it’s so narrow! I suppose the manufacturers think their buyer’s won’t notice this deception.

Thanks LWW, for some good memories!
I'm old enough to have enjoyed the Three Muskateers (3-segment) candy bars. They were 5 cents and my brother, sister and I used to divide ONE equally... there was always a squabble over who got which flavor!
That was in the early 40's and it was quite a lot of candy for five cents!
God Bless,
Papa Joe
