Whatever happened to these? Loved ‘em…

MaximumJones@reddit

They still have them at a local mom and pop grocery store where I shop.

I still can't find Zagnuts though 😕

[-]

PantherBrewery@reddit

Amazon has Zagnut and Clark bars. I must enjoy a box every couple of months.

[-]

Gomertaxi@reddit

My local supermarket carries Zagnut bars, too!

[-]

Gomertaxi@reddit

Come to PA and find the treasure you seek.

[-]

Bit into a bug in a Clark bar and stopped eating them for awhile (happened with Zagnut, too). Then I moved to another part of the country where they weren't distributed and missed them just a wee bit.

portageParkPunk@reddit

sheeeeit, did Clark lose the candybar wars with Butterfinger?

I miss PB Maxx 😋😎

[-]

omg_pwnies@reddit

According to former Mars executive Alfred Poe, PB Max was discontinued due to the Mars family's distaste for peanut butter despite $50 million in sales.

(wikipedia).

I miss those, too.

[-]

Formal-Working3189@reddit

So they own a candy company, but they hate peanut butter? Even more than they love money?? I can't even find the words.....

[-]

omg_pwnies@reddit

Right??

[-]

Formal-Working3189@reddit

Lol like when I read that I started doing that goldfish thing with my mouth ...😮

[-]

garbagebailkid@reddit

What did PB stand for again? Prehistoric Barber?

[-]

Chateaudelait@reddit

I think it was Portly Ballerina. :) I'm ashamed that as a bigger girl myself that was the part of that commercial that I remembered. But those were awesome.

Kimber80@reddit

So damn good

[-]

day_of_duke@reddit

I think the bigger question is why did Kit Kat go down to 4 bars from 5 and no one said a damned word. Some say Mandela effect, but dammit I KNOW there was 5 bars

Clark bars are still around, though generally hard to find.

Yes, the 100 Grand bar used to be called $100,000 Bar. Stores near me sell 100 Grand bars.

[-]

Over_Ad_688@reddit

They are somewhat hard to find in my area, just like Big Hunk, I used to love those.

[-]

JonCeini@reddit

Me too, But, I haven't seen a Big Hunk in a decade.

Poultrygeist74@reddit

Don’t forget Zagnut

[-]

OliveAffectionate626@reddit

My two favorite at Halloween, Clark and Zagnut.

[-]

polymorphic_hippo@reddit

Beetlejuice!

[-]

KiKibaby2019@reddit

I miss the Marathon bar! It was a braided-like chocolate covered caramel. It was my favorite in the late 70's early eighties.

[-]

VeryStableGuiness@reddit

I think they can still be found in Pittsburgh area. Got one while I was there a couple of years ago.

[-]

Ozymandias_Canceled@reddit

Still around. Boyer bought the recipe from NECCO a few a years back.

[-]

Perfect!

[-]

sattersnaps@reddit

That’s exactly who came to mind. Sparky.

[-]

Gomertaxi@reddit

They’re still around and pretty easy to find.

[-]

freshcoastghost@reddit

Do they taste the same? Or did they change some ingredients to save $ like butterfinger did.

[-]

Boxofbikeparts@reddit

Every American candy company switched to cheaper ingredients to keep profits up.

[-]

Gomertaxi@reddit

They taste the same, as far as I can tell.

[-]

CommissarCiaphisCain@reddit

Jack NMN Reacher’s favorite candy bar.

[-]

drosmi@reddit

I think if you search the internets from the pad 6 months you’ll find that the small S.F. Bay Area factory that makes them is shutting down.

[-]

Plastic_Bullfrog9029@reddit

Nah. That’s Annabelle candy - Big Hunk, Rocky Road, Abba Zabba and Look . Necco makes the Clark Bar.

[-]

drosmi@reddit

Oh my bad. Still sad tho

[-]

Plastic_Bullfrog9029@reddit

100%. Annabelle is a local company in the Bay and I've been eating their candy since I was a kid.

[-]

Awkward_Tap_1244@reddit

Try Cracker Barrel. I don't recommend eating their food, but in the store part up front, they have a good selection of old-timey candy and sodas.

[-]

Last_Blackfyre@reddit

Five Below stores have them. Clark Cups as well. Plus some other less well known ones like Zagnut, Zero, and others. Another good choice are the independent, but often upscale a bit, candy stores.

[-]

madtownjeff@reddit

Grew up in Pittsburgh, half my Halloween haul was Clark bars.

[-]

typhoidmarry@reddit

How are they compared to Butterfinger?

I liked them too!!

[-]

KISSALIVE1975@reddit

Go To Rocket Fizz Or Any Retro Candy Store In Your Area… Due To Nostalgia, They Will Be Expensive… Movie Theatre Size Of Grape Flavor Red Vines Are $8.99

[-]

Jwheat71@reddit

They were my favorite. I used to get them all the time but when we moved to the West Coast I can not find them anywhere.

[-]

boilersnipe@reddit

It’s made in Altoona, PA by Boyer candy

[-]

shitty_advice_BDD@reddit

Butterfingers pushed them out?

[-]

dj_1973@reddit

Clark was a casualty of the Necco bankruptcy and closure. I think Boyer bought them and have been producing them.

[-]

SellReasonable6367@reddit

I’ve seen them at Dollar General….

[-]

I've been trying to find Rocky Road candy bars. I can't even remember what they were like!

boringcranberry@reddit

One of my most shameful childhood memories was lying to my mom that I didn't feel well so I could stay home from school. I did it just so I could eat the Clark bars we had from going to a baseball game the day before. That was my sole motivation. I looked them up recently and they have "cups" but like everything else, I imagine they don't taste as good as the bar used to.

The dog wet on the picnic basket...

[-]

dreaminginteal@reddit

My dad used to sell those when I was a toddler. He was very very careful about not leaving samples where I could get them...

[-]

FawnLeib0witz@reddit

We go to Altoona PA every couple of years and stop at the Boyer candy Company, and buy a big box of Clark bars.

[-]

JazzlikePension2389@reddit

Yes.

Boyer Candy in Altoona makes Clark Bars.
