Your Comments About The Candy Wrapper Collection and Junkfood In General

Here are comments left by people like you...and my comments back (where needed!). Want to leave your own comments?? Click Here!! There have been so many comments about White and Dark Chocolate Kit Kats that those comments are on a page by themselves. However, the popularity has died down, so that page isn't updated anymore. This page was last updated on 04/13/08.

Before we get to the comments, I want to tell you about the book "Candyfreak" by Steven Almond. Everybody who loves chocolate should read this book. If you can't find it in your local bookstore, you can get it from Amazon by clicking on the link below.

The book is part candy bar history, as Steve takes us back to Milton Hershey's days and how Hershey built up his company. You'll learn why the larger stores sell almost nothing but candy from "The Big 3" and how hard it is for a small candy company to get into the big stores. But there's so much more. Steve takes a look inside himself to see why he is so fascinated with candy as he tours several small candy companies. He shows us glimpses of his childhood candy addiction, including when he would dump all his candy on his bed and stare and stack it like Scrooge McDuck with his gold coins (I did that too!). There's also several references to Steve wondering if his candy addiction has something to do with his relative bad luck with women as far as long term relationships.

At any rate, I really liked this book. And if you love candy, you should like it too. Oh, and my glowing recommendation has nothing to do with the fact that my web site is listed in the back of the book. For an excerpt, click here. For my reviews of other candy books, click here.

On 04/13/08, Mike says "Just a short note to say I was in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side last weekend and bought about $17 worth of candy! That's not really a lot since I think the cheapest one was $1.49. Anyway, look for some more Canadian wrappers slowly added to the site. And as always, thanks for all your comment!!"

Some peanut brittles are more brittle than peanut, and the brittle they use isn't all that good. This was mostly nuts, and the brittle used was light and tasty, not heavy and dark like some."

Mike says "You're right...it's a darn good candy bar!"

On 04/08/08, Margaret from Grand Rapids, MI, wrote: "I do not like the "new" Twix PB's. The are NOT peanut butter twix' which I love. How can we get them to bring them back???!!!!!"

Mike says "You can call the Twix people and ask what happened and that you're upset they no longer sell the real Peanut Butter Twix. I would call rather than send an email. An email is too easy to ignore. The number is 1-800-551-0907 and you can call during normal business hours (Eastern time zone)."

Now I can only find them few and far between. Also I think you're a little nuts for making this page, but it was fun to come across. I "borrowed" several of your images to make a poster for Teacher Appreciation Week where you insert candy names in a poem for the teachers. So, thanks for that."

Mike says "I've tried Zero bars several times...sorry...ain't gonna happen for me!"

On 04/07/08, Marina from London, England, UK, wrote: "Hello! I really enjoyed looking at all of your candy wrappers. I used to collect them too, over a period of several years, but somebody eventually persuaded me to throw out "all that rubbish" - and I did, along with my large collection of soft drinks cans (sodas). I really regret it now... It's all part of the history of food, and I think it's fascinating! So many memories too. I would love to eat all of the bars that I have not tried before. My favourites are the peanut butter-based ones that are so popular in the USA - you just don't get them in the UK at all. It's not fair! Thanks and keep collecting!"

Mike says "Thanks for writing! I too used to collect soda cans when I was a kid (and eventually, beer cans and bottles). Never a very big collection and I ended up throwing them out. And keep in mind...this isn't really a collection as I throw out the wrapper once I scan them. It's just a virtual collection!"

On 03/29/08, Andy from Birkenhead, England (UK), wrote: "Just saw your scan of "Snickers Marathon" energy bar. Here in England Snickers was always called Marathon up until the name change to snickers a number of years back (probably at least 10). It wasn't an energy bar - it was a normal Snickers bar, but it was called Marathon. Not sure why, probably nostalgia, but I would love them to revert back to Marathon (even if it was only here in England!). We've also got Mr.T labelled Snickers bars at the moment, as he's doing a big ad campaign for them (www.getsomenuts.tv)"

Mike says "I had no idea Mr. T was that big in England! I visited the web site and the soccer (er, sorry...football) commercial made me laugh. I'd love to have a wrapper with Mr. T on it, but I doubt I'll find them over here."

Im currently trying to learn how to start a blog to showcase them, but wanted to see what was already out there first. Yours is REALLY impressive, i must say- we could have fun comparing collections. Im also an M&M junkie- new wrappers rock my world. Look out now for brand new Indiana Jones promo bags , one of which is a new flavor- Crispy Mint. Got em at Walgreens. And have you noticed all the diff holiday M&M packaging done by Target & Walmart? I need a blog to showcase all those too. Really cool all th diff designs.

I also have some book recommendations- any candy lover/collector should ck these out- all are available at Amazon (some are out of print but avail used there):
THE GREAT AMERICAN CANDY BAR BOOK by Ray Broekel
THE CHOCOLATE CHRONICLES by Ray Broekel
SWEET TALK by Nicholas Whittaker
CHOCOLATE MEMORIBILIA by Shiffer Books for Collectors

So thanx for all the great website and look forward to seeing more wrappers- and hopefully some more book reviews!

As this site brings together a community of candy-lovin folks, Id like to offer good news to Mike & some other commentors who are looking for some long lost wrappers- i may have them! I will start going thru my vast collection (almost 20 yrs old) and here is what I think I may have (if so I will send to mike for a post)
TRIPLE DECKER BAR
YELLOW WRAPPER P. BUTTER TWIX
any more you need? pls ask- I like the hunt!

Also a comment about Reese's Whip - I agree its taste weird and not so good- the idea from Reeses was a lower fat version of the beloved Reeses flavor- aimed at dieters and (mostly) women looking for a lower fat treat. The "peanut butter flavor nougat" says it all - nougat is mostly just whipped sugar and flavoring, much lower fat than real peanut butter- and the choc is thinner too. P Butter & choc is one of the most fattening combos to eat, but also the MOST popular candy bar in the US (besides Snickers)- so this is their attempt to please all people all the time. Unfortunately the regular and whip really taste NOTHING alike, so its a bust. Bummer."

Mike says "Wow! Thanks for the comments! I know I'm behind in my candy book reading, but when I get a chance, I'll check out some of the ones you mentioned. I do have the Indiana Jones wrappers and the Crispy Mint...just haven't opened them yet. And you should really start a blog...it's fun getting great comments from people!"

When I found the originals (which have always been a fave of mine since the 60's growing up in NY) available at Big Lots (the store where products go to die) I was simultaneously elated (I moved to TX in the 80's and hadn't seen them around since) and devastated because I knew that didn't bode well for the candy and/or the company. So, when Big Lots ran out of them (with my help) so did my luck finding them ever again. After reading your article I now know what happened and why. I may try some of the Just Born brand but I dont know....Im kind of a die hard traditionalist. Plus, I just dont think they would taste the same without being once wrapped in the original packaging."

They were in a large wire basket in the freezer aisle along with other pkg'd candy bars, mostly nostalgic, at 1.00 a pkg! You've made me consider going back asap and buying them before they disappear. I love your website- very unique! I didn't see a Russell Stover Mint Dream, however, and wondered if you've had an opportunity to try one. I buy them for my kids at Valentines day and Christmas as we love them so much. They're very creamy chocolate filled to huge proportions with light as air very minty whip. We get them at Meijer (stationary section where fine chocolates are sold) and CVS. yummy!"

I visited Hershey's Canadian web site and see no mention of Sidekick, but they do talk about Fast Break on the US Hershey site. So, you may be on to something...they might not be making Sidekick anymore. I probably got mine at the Hershey store in Niagara Falls.

Mike says "You're going to kill me, but I was in a store recently and saw Peanut Butter Smoothies and thought that it was strange because you usually don't see them. But I can't remember which store. I think it was a dollar store, and that's what I would suggest...check out some dollar stores in your area. Sometimes they have the not-as-popular candies. If you want to go the online route, two of my sponsors, Candy Direct Inc and Old Time Candy Company both sell them."

I checked the ingredients on both and found the "White" did not contain cocoa butter, instead using vegetable oil. I then found this to be the case with KitKat as well.

One store in the neighboring town had O Henry bars a few months ago, but now I can't find them. I don't think I have ever seen a Clark's bar in my hometown or the neighboring town that had O Henry bars. Any information you have on it could really help me. In addition I saw that you had an Elvis Reese's candy wrapper on your site. My sister-in-law saw the candy once, but only once. My brother, sister-in-law, and I tried to find one for my Mom (she is a huge Elvis fan), but never did. Since the candy is to commemorate the anniversary of his death in August it is probably safe to say that we will not be able to find one now, right?

Mike says "You are right that Clark bars and Oh Henry bars are not the easiest to find. BTW, Clark bars are not on my site because I don't really like them that much. Living in Pittsburgh, I do believe I see Clark bars more often than others as Clark bars got their start here in Pittsburgh and are a Pittsburgh tradition. You can read about it here. I think because of their ties to Pittsburgh, I can even buy Clark bars by the box at the local Sam's Club. So, that is an option...check out your local Sam's Club, Costco, or other warehouse stores. Also, both my sponsors (Candy Direct Inc or Old Time Candy Company) sell both Clark bars and Oh Henrys.

Thanks for contacting us about TWIX PB COOKIE BARS. In the spring of 2007, the TWIX PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE BAR was relaunched and the name changed to TWIX PB. TWIX PB features a more intense peanut butter hit. More peanut butter plus the new, delicious, "jet black" chocolate cookie create a far superior combination of peanut butter and chocolate.

Because we are reviewing our marketing strategy, TWIX PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE BAR is unavailable at this time. Your comments will be shared with our Marketing Staff. The product cannot be purchased via the Internet nor directly from us.

I'm none too happy about this as I do like the 'original' Peanut Butter Twix better than the new Twix PB. If you agree, I urge you to call Twix at 1-800-551-9982 and let them know."

When Curtiss made them they were delicious but the quality has declined over the years until the present incarnation made by Nestle is virtually unrecognizable (untasteable) to the original. In the late 1950's they had a 10 bar which was nearly 2 times as other candy bars at the time. (Same with Butterfinger) I often bought a Baby Ruth not only because I liked the tast but also because it lasted a long time - it was too big to eat all at once! Regarding someone asking about "Powerhouse" candy bars of the '60's, I'm not sure when they were discontinued but they were made by Walter Johnson Candy Chicago IL (at least in the '40's). Saw an auction listing on Ebay for a Powerhouse Candy box."

Mike says "Wow...good question and one that isn't covered in my FAQ page. Let's see. I think it's safe to assume that I've averaged one candy bar a day since, say, turning 20. That's when I probably started working a regular job and making my own money outside those teen jobs most people get. And I would further assume that I averaged 3 candy bars a week (at least) from, say, age 14 to 20, when I was working those teen jobs. And let's just say I averaged 2 a week from age 10 to 14. I think these are underestimates, but we'll go with them. So, from 10 to 14, I had 416 candy bars. From 14 to 20, I had 936 more. And from age 20 to my last birthday, add in another 7,665...give or take. For a grand total of 9,017. Yeah, that sounds about right."
