Here’s one I remember that didn’t even get a mention: It was a small packet containing little teensy squares called Sen Sen…..nasty bad horrible stuff, but my sisters LOVED it. Below is a link to a picture of the package. I too alas have told people over the years about the Seven-Up candy bar and they thought I was on drugs. Especially when I told them it didn’t taste like the famous soda. http://www.nostalgiccandy.com/sen-senbreathfreshener.aspx

Hey Mike! Since you are correcting people, it is Clara, not Clare and the actual correct way to say it is The “It” Girl, not with a capital t in it and since it is a title, the word the has to be capitalized as does the word girl.

My grandfather was the chief candymaker at Sperry Candy for years (Jacob Kraemer). I remember my mother telling us how he would spend many evening hours at the kitchen table creating new recipes. There were other bars he also created including the “Cold Turkey” and the “Denver Sandwich”. You may notice the food theme here. I understand that Mr. Sperry, the owner of the the company, was originally in the restuarant business and hence the connection.

There used to be a seven-up cookie bar. I think it was
made with chocolate chips, almonds, coconut, condensed
milk and it must have had three other ingredients. Easy to make, just baked in a baking dish, I think you
threw all the ingredients together and some raised to the top – hence the name. Does anyone have the recipe?

I remember the Seven Up bar..and also some of the old gums. My aunt used to bring us CLOVE gum and Teaberry gum. I found both of these at Cracker Barrell. I think that it had move CLOVES back in the day. I remember it being STRONG back then..but then maybe it was because it was so different from SUPER BUBBLE or BAZOOKA or DOUBLE BUBBLE !!

The 7-up candy bar was one of my favorite candy bars while I was growing up. I was still able to sometimes find it as late as the early 1970′s and then when I tried to find it, it was gone! Please bring it back!

That is so lame that 7-up bought out the Seven Up just to shut down it’s name! How many people did that unemploy in one fell swoop? I loved the seven up bar as a kid. Used to buy it at a vending machine at a Esso station down the street for a dime in the late 60′s. Back then if you had a quarter, you could get a coke, a candy bar and a pack of gum. Not a bad summer day for a kid! All righty, I’m goin’ back ta my log cabin and lookin’ fer gold. Kids today… sheesh.

I enjoyed the read, but some actual descriptions of the bars other than just, “It was introduced, was popular for a while, then got taken off the market” would be nice. Such as what flavor(s) and junk the bar actually contained?

There was a bar in the ’80s that had five flavours. I can’t remember what it was…

The Seven-Up bar reminds me of a SkyBar, which is still around these days: http://www.candydirect.com/bars/Sky-Bars.html

Interesting factoids… However, Clara Bow was actually called “The It Girl” because she starred in the movie “It”. The definition (“that strange magnetism which attracts both sexes… entirely unself-conscious… full of self-confidence,” etc.) came from the novel the film was based on and was later used to refer to Bow.

The chicken dinner bar truck is a Ford F-100, not a Model A.

the vegetable sandwich bar made me smile as my company (in fact the healthfood industry as a whole) is awash with these sweet yet vegetable-y monstrosities one of the market leaders can be found here http://shop.toolsforhealing.com/Rebar_Organic_Fruit_Energy_Bar_p/hcc-r ebar.htm

i’ve eaten that seven-up bar as a kid so it was still being made at least until the early seventies. i liked it and loved the concept, like a whitman sampler box in a bar. thanks for tickling my memories.
