Mexican chocolate? *UPDATE* (X's 2)
Ok, don't ask but tonight as I was farting around online, I decided to go to google images & see if I could find any pics of my OLD FAVORITE CANDYBAR:
Hershey's BarNone
OMG IT WAS THE BEST!
Layers of chocolate wafer cookies held together with layers of chocolate fudge all drenched in a blanket of more chocolate.
It was a CHOCOHOLICS DREAM!
*a diabetic's nightmare*
LOL
So I come across a few pictures of my beloved MIA treat & one of them took me HERE!
I have no words... I live in the greatest country in the world & all Hershey's has for me is an impromptu' road trip south of the border if I need my chocolate fix?
C'mon hershey... you're gonna have to do better than that!
All the thousands of dollars us americans spend annually on chocolate and not only just chocolate, but specifically from the big 'H' and they can't bring back one simple little candybar?
Not good enough!
And speaking of candybars that are MIA, whatever happened to my CHUNKY bar?
Man, now I want some chocoalte.
PISSAH!
Psst... hey Donna, you mean this little number?
Actually never heard of it but it looks good!
*drool*
Is it bad that I KNOW I have halloween candy in my house & am tempted to get myself one right now?
Nope, can't do it... gotta save it for the little munchkins come the 31st.
UGH!
** Ok, here is what I found out so far:
Sadly I first found a list of all the DISCONTINUED TREATS & your beloved milkyway was among them. *the pic I posted I found through google/images, just was the box for sale on ebay I believe, not actual bars*
I then did more searching on google & found out that your bar was originally produced by a company by the name of "Hollywood Brands".
Here's what I found out about them:
"Hollywood Brands" candy bars made a bar called the Milkshake. Hollywoods Brands sold to Leaf then to Hershey's. The Milkshake is currently discontinued, unfortunately.
-BUT-
Next, I found this site where you can not only take a trip down CANDY MEMORY LANE BUT you can ORDER any of the items they have listed!
Not too shabby even if I couldn't manage to find you your delicious childhood favorite...
I'm sorry, I tried...
(do I at least get an "A" for effort?)

OMG...I remember the Bar None candy bar too...it was fantastic! The candy bar I have such nostalgia for (probably WAY out of proportion to how good it actually was) is the Milkshake candy bar. We ate hundreds of frozen Milkshake bars hanging out at the swimming pool summer after summer when we were kids.
Did you ever read the book "CandyFreak" by Steve Almond (yes, that's his real name.) It's this hilarious book about his obsession with the candy of his youth (in particular, the Marathon bar.)
Okay, I have to stop writing about candy now or everyone will thing I'm really sick!
I can't believe it! Where did you find that? Are there actual people who still HAVE Milkshake candy bars? Or is this some cruel hoax?
Thanks so much for getting my hopes up and then cruelly dashing them (kidding!) It is amazing that there's this whole nostalgic candy underworld that we knew nothing about! Okay, off to eat a mini-Snickers bar (a poor substitute for a Milkshake, but it will have to do...)
I remember BarNone! Fortunately I can still find my favorites here in the south Smoothie and Zero! I am not a chocolate fan, I know, I know...
