I Just Created the Most Disgusting Candy Ever!

Luckily, there are still many sensational sweets you may have forgotten.

Greetings nostalgia lovers. I just dropped my latest video where I reimagine Fun Dip, Creating something truly awful- Sad Dip! This video was a ton of fun even if I did have to taste test each of these disgusting candy conctions.

In the video, I shared a huge box of hard-to-find and forgotten candy courtesy of Economy Candy. Here’s a list of five elusive treats that you might remember and will be pleased to know are now available at Economy Candy, Plus five more discontinued confections that we hope will someday return!

Well-Loved but Hard-to-Find Candies

#5 Chunky: A Hefty, Square Bite

Chunky is a candy bar that stands out for its distinctive shape and hearty ingredients. First introduced in the 1930s by the Ward Candy Company, Chunky bars are square-shaped and filled with milk chocolate, raisins, and roasted peanuts.

#4 Garbage Can-Dy: A Fun, Trashy Treat

In the 1980s, Garbage Can-Dy captured the imagination of children with its fun and quirky presentation. Each small plastic garbage can was filled with tiny, brightly colored candy pieces shaped like various pieces of "trash" such as bones, bottles, and fish.

#3 Astro Pop: A Rocket-Shaped Delight

Astro Pops are a classic candy that first appeared in the 1960s. Created by two rocket scientists who decided to apply their skills to candy making, Astro Pops featured a unique, rocket-shaped design with three layers of colorful, fruity flavors.

#2 Candy Cigarettes: A Controversial Classic

Candy cigarettes are perhaps one of the most controversial candies from the past. These sugar sticks, often with a chalky texture and sometimes emitting a puff of powdered sugar when blown into, mimicked the appearance of real cigarettes.

#1 Reggie Bar: A Home Run in Candy Form

Named after baseball legend Reggie Jackson, the Reggie Bar was a chocolate-covered treat filled with peanuts and caramel. Introduced in the 1970s by Curtiss Candy Company (later acquired by Nestlé), the Reggie Bar was a tribute to Jackson's prowess on the baseball field.

Long Gone Candy We Desperately Want Back!

#5 Marathon Bar: A Chewy Challenge

For those who loved a candy bar that lasted more than a few bites, the Marathon Bar was a chewy delight. Introduced in the 1970s by Mars, Incorporated, this braided caramel bar was covered in milk chocolate and stretched an impressive eight inches long.

#4 Seven Up Bar: A Candy with a Variety Pack Inside

The Seven Up Bar was a unique confection that delighted candy lovers with its assortment of seven different cream-filled centers, each covered in milk chocolate. Introduced by Pearson's Candy Company, the Seven Up Bar offered a variety of flavors such as caramel, coconut, and mint, all in one bar.

#3 Bonkers: Fruit-Centered Fun

In the 1980s, Bonkers burst onto the scene with its fruity, chewy candies that featured a soft fruit center wrapped in a slightly firmer fruit-flavored shell. Created by Nabisco, Bonkers became famous for its humorous commercials, where people would go "bonkers" after taking a bite.

#2 Gatorgum: The Chewing Gum with a Sports Drink Twist

Gatorgum was introduced in the 1970s as a novel idea to combine the refreshing taste of Gatorade with the convenience of chewing gum. Available in lemon-lime and orange flavors, Gatorgum was marketed as a way to quench thirst and refresh athletes on the go.

#1 PB Max: A Peanut Butter Lover's Dream

In the early 1990s, PB Max was a candy that seemed destined for greatness. Made by Mars, Incorporated, this indulgent treat featured a hearty square of peanut butter covered in oats and surrounded by a thick layer of milk chocolate.
