The candy cigarettes, although they're still sold in the boondocks around here. Damn, those candies were cool.

Are they getting rid of the Big Kat? If I want a Kit Kat, that's the one I want. Sometimes I'm too busy to break off little sticks of the original.

Not that I know of.
But the devious bastards at Hershey's did it once before with one of their most-delectable treats, so I wouldn't put it past them to do it again.

You GLORIOUS BASTARDS!!!!

Apparently, there's something called the Curly Wurly that's supposed to be the same thing.

Reggie Bars were a chocolate, caramel, and rice crispy confection featuring our favorite 1970's slugger on the wrapper.

Edit: Marathon Bars, from what I remember, were a foot-long chocolate covered caramel bar that was shaped like a braided pretzel. The Reggie Bar was more of a disc/patty type thing.

I don't care what candy's missing, I just miss the size they used to be.

Probably tasted like horseshit; reggie was/is a horses ass; i wouldn't wipe my ass with that candy wrapper.

Stupid not smoking.

Oh, wait, they do produce these, still. In Europe.

When I go back, I am hoarding them -- I'll bring an extra, empty suitcase into which to stuff the Mars.

Pop Rocks are still around, ain't they? I swear I saw some of these in 7-11 just the other day. What ghetto, non-having-pop-rocks part of LA do you live in? :wink:

You still get Mars Bars here but they changed them a few years back and they are really terrible now. They made them all light and fluffy in the inside which, to my mind, was a ghastly mistake.
