Bonkersīonkers-Nabisco’s chewable fruit candy with a gum-like outer shell and fruity inside-are proof of the power of advertising. The reformulation didn’t help slagging sales the candy was discontinued in 1997, though it still maintains a fan base of sweet-toothed admirers hoping for its comeback. In 1992, Hershey tinkered with the flavor mash-up a bit, adding an extra wafer and some caramel into the mix. Combining the best ingredients of the most popular bars of the time, its original incarnation featured a chocolate-covered cocoa wafer filled with chocolate and peanuts in an attempt-as the slogan went-to “tame the chocolate beasty,” whatever that means. Introduced in 1986, Bar None was Hershey’s original foray into the gourmet chocolate bar market before a gourmet chocolate bar market actually existed. Multitasking types loved the fact that, once the candy was consumed, the toy trash can could be used for storing stuff like stickers, erasers and/or Garbage Pail Kids cards (perhaps not coincidentally, both Garbage Can-dy and Garbage Pail Kids were created by Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Maus, who worked in the product development department of The Topps Company at the time). Fortunately, this novelty treat tasted much better. This sugar-coated ode to dumpster diving featured a tiny plastic garbage can filled with Pez-like candy pellets in the shape of items you might actually find in a garbage can (a dead fish, an old shoe, a dog bone, a discarded soda bottle). Here are a few discontinued treats of the past that you may never eat again (but never say never). The book (called Charlie & the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl was published in 1964 and already wildly popular as was James and the Giant Peach which came out in ‘61.) The Wonka line of candies were largely a marketing invention, the only candy in the original line up of confections that was actually mentioned in the book were Everlasting Gobstoppers.Everyone has their favorite sweet, tart, or salty candies that have been the frequent source of failed diets everywhere. (Nerds are still sold in this format.) They were made by Willy Wonka Candy Company, which was founded by Breaker Confections in 1971 just in advance of the feature film, Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. They were tiny little pellets of tart candy, kind of like SweeTart, only sold in a small cigarette-pack-sized box that dispensed the candies from a little slip-tab at the top. They are no longer produced but here is a classic candy shop that you can find something similar Goodbye Tart n Tiny Way back in the day there was a cute little candy called Tart n Tinys. Tart-n-Tinys have been discontinued by the manufacturer (Nestle) You could just eat sugar with vinegar on it. I don't know where you can find the old ones, have you tried the website? I don't even know if they make them the old way anymore. Oh.I loved those, I used to buy them at the pool and then watch them fall to the end of the deep end.at least the ones I didn't eat. Does anyone know how to get the old style tart n' tinys that look almost like sweet tarts? They looked different back when I ate them. They sell the same candy today, but the new candy has a shiny candy coating on it. When I was a kid in the early 1980s, they sold Tart n' tiny's candy.
