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.
