Sorry the number you have dial it's not in at

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Candy bar.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
That was a yeah, we can come up with a
lot of There was like no there was like no
information on top selling candy bars in the seventies, or
I mean, there wasn't like any lists anywhere, and then
you'd find a list of candy bars and there'd be
like laughy taffy and it wasn't even candy bars.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, I was like, holy crap.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Well, I mean it's candy bar. It's chocolate and nougat
and peanuts, and it's amazing how many different ways you
can make a candy war.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's kind of like at a Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, exactly like a Mexican restaurant. But what I did
was I kind of a I kind of created a
list of either there not around anymore, or you know,
because I mean we had snickers back then. They're still snickers.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Know, milky ways and all those. So I want to
look I want a little more secure, obscure. Oh, we got,
we got, we got, we got, we got business take
care of first forget two carried away?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Uh are we going? Are we talking? Have we started?
I thought we were talking.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Okay, now we are talking.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
So, hey, welcome to the podcast. Glad I'm here. Hey
you guys hit us up at five eight oh five
from one to three oh five. That is your Busshead
hotline or buzz at buzzhead media dot com. And I
don't think I got any emails from anybody to read.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So well, yeah, it's a little quiet, kind of quiet
this week. Everybody's doing stuff, summertime stuff. Uh. Dave did call,
did he have the seventies bus stuff? Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
He talked about Paul McCartney. Ye, kind of like, didn't
he say, being like the Mozart of our arts?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Beethoven Beethoven, Beethoven Mozart.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
The fan, well, the fan was on. I could barely hear.
So anyway, really not a whole lot. If you want
to hear Dave's comments, go to listen to Buzzhead Radio.
He had more to talk about over there.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And then Larry Larry, he's the guy doing the poll.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Larry's the guy on the seventies buzz Facebook group. Is
he doing that? Like? Is it a different poll? I
guess it's a different poll every week, right, so you
have like a week to vote. And then he puts
the songs, the four songs that were the next Yeah.
(03:48):
So anyway, he suggested possibly making kind of like a
bracket out of it, getting down to like the top
sixteen and then doing an episode and then somehow we'll
maybe we'll throw the sixteen out there, have everybody vote
(04:09):
somehow but not publicly, and then we can have an
episode and divulge the seventies buzz top sixteen in order
something like that, right, But yeah, Larry, yeah, we are game.
We will have you on and you just keep counting
them down until you figure out a way to get
(04:31):
down to the top sixteen. And then we'll do like
an online poll or something where people like I say,
can't see the results, and then we'll have a show
and talk about it and then divulge the seventies. But
because I mean, whatever the seventies buzz listeners decide is
(04:52):
the top sixteen songs from the seventies is like the
ultimate list in all magazines. News organization will be wanting
to use that list. I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Okay, hang on, did Ozzie die?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Oh you didn't know?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
So almost brought I'm almost at something at dinner. So
when he died, like in the middle of the afternoon,
I almost texted you and said, are you at work
or can we switch? I almost thought about switching one
of our topics tonight. Yeah, well we wouldn't have time.
I mean, oh well, so anyway, yeah, but yeah, I
was going to talk about that on the bus, said radio,
(05:30):
But we talk about it here. I mean he was
almost all the Black Sabbath albums were in the seventies.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Oh sure, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
So yeah, So if you hadn't heard, which I'm sure
you have by the time you listen to this, h
Ozzie died, which is kind of poetic that he got
the band back together and had a concert.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, he wasn't looking very good.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well you've sat the whole time.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, so, poor guy. So, I mean that concert was
what two weeks ago?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah? Is it just two weeks ago? I get you know,
he's got Parkinson's or something like that. So, so he
just died this afternoon today. It was this morning. I
think he died this morning and they kind of took
him a couple hours to for the family to kind
of let it float out.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Oh wow, Well that's a bummer, sorry, Auzie.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, so yeah, that's uh. I mean, you wouldn't think
Ozzie would be that big of a deal, but guy,
it took up the whole news day today. I mean
every news, every news outlet. I was talking about it.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I wouldn't watch the news, but I mean every.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
News outlet on Facebook and everywhere it was.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I guess that wasn't on Facebook. I saw her Christopher
Todde posted something and then I just kind of he's
talking about going seeing him.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
But yeah, I was like, wow, yep, that was it.
So yeah, so seventy six years old. Yeah, so we're
we'll talk a little bit about Black Sabbath when Bill
Ward came to Eno, Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Oh that's why you posted that on both a radio.
So yeah, I'm just not with it. Guy, I'm just
not with it today.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I guess a little out of the was. Yeah, it
was quite a surprise.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So just I'm sure natural cloud.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I mean yeah, I think just he had so many
medical problems. Although you know when people were saying he
looks like he's about to die, and his daughter kept
saying he's not. He's got Parkinson's, He's fine, and then
not so fine.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Maybe not Kelly.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And did you know did you see she got engaged
at that concert?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I think Kelly did.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, right after that concert.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
No I didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, I can't remember a musician from a band proposed
to her and she said yeah, but I can't think
of what band it was. Well she sure changed, okay,
yeah completely.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Well, and Sharon's looking a little Ozmpic too.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I mean she's Olympic subverb.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Now and I tell you they're more. We can talk
about that on the other episode. But yeah, more and
more side effects are coming out, so be careful, yeah,
careful with that stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
As soon as I saw that stuff come out, I'm like,
it's going to be too good to be true, just
like this is like a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah. So okay, So back to Larry yep, Larry, we
will do that and that'll be fun.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
And like I said, I don't think I didn't. If
I did, they got buried. And so if you emailed,
I don't have your email, like it was, yeah one
of those weeks.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, this movie dope.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
So you're saying this episode right now is our four
hundredth episode.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
This is our four hundredth episode, guys, this is our
freaking four hundredth episode.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeay, and what I so look at So I don't
want to spin it out, son, we're doing two episodes tonight.
I don't want to get all into it. But anyway,
so I was looking for what could be easy that
we could throw two episodes together and get them done tonight,
and I got to thinking, well, we haven't really done
(09:08):
Jaws fiftieth anniversary Justice. And then there's some episodes that
we did in the beginning that are so far back
that it's almost criminal that we can't really talk about
that stuff because we've already done an episode on that.
So I look back, we've been doing this eight years.
(09:28):
So eight years ago we did our Jaws episode.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, it was June twenty sixth, June twenty fifth, twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Twenty seventeen, so and then third episode, and then we
also did a Candy in the seventies episode, but it
was like a candy included everything that we could think of.
So this episode tonight, we're what we're doing is we're
narrowing it down to just candy bars.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Didn't someone suggest that?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I think somebody suggested.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
That that's good, And we were like, well.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
We already talked about candy, but.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, but again, and if unless you're a new and
you listened to all the episodes and you memorized them love,
you probably forgot that we ever did a candy episode
because it's been eight years ago, and the same with Jaws.
So so basically next week's episode is Jaws, right.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
That we're gonna do tonight that we're gonna do night.
You'll never know, but you'll hear next week, next week.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So tonight it's all about the candy.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Bar, candy bars. It's amazing how many different kind of
candy bars there are or was or used to be.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah. So the thing about candy bars in the seventies
is we ate a lot of candy bars that were
invented in the thirties, forties, fifties, and sixties.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Or even the teens even.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
And I think they quit making inventing candy bars in
the eighties because there aren't anything good since the seventies.
So the candy bars that we ate in the seventies
were the best. And why is that, mister Wheeler.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Because that was the greatest decade Nope.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Man, and also the greatest candy decade.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm looking at these dates nineteen seventeen,
nineteen thirty, nineteen fifty seventy two, nineteen nineteen, twenty five, thirty. Yeah,
there's nothing in like the sixties.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
The thing about the candy bar, yeah, is once you
got a successful candy bar, you did not let it go.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, I did, see. I did come across a couple
of them that you know these people get bought out.
Well yeah, yeah, and then for some like there was
a one, there was one this company had I can't
can't remember what it was. I didn't don't think I
wrote it down, had peanut butter in it, and the
family who owned the company decided they didn't like peanut butter.
(11:43):
So you just see, I mean, I'm not a huge
fan of peanut butter.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Oh god, I love peanut butter.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But if I got a candy bar they're selling like hotcakes,
put all the peanut butter in there, you can't boody.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well, just don't eat it. Yeah, make the candy bar,
don't eat it, and make a candy bar that you like.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah. Well, so we're coming at this from all different angles.
One of my angles was my top ten. So this
is from my memories of eating candy bars in the seventies.
This is my top ten list of candy bars for me.
And the number one was like halfway through because they
didn't it didn't come out until the seventies. But the
(12:25):
watch McCall it, oh yeah, and I still eat Watch
McCall it's today, except now they have the super sized
watch McCall, which is it's actually different than the regular
watch McCall it because it's so big. The ratio changes.
They didn't keep the exact ratio, so you get a
(12:45):
lot more different things on their.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
That's why I can eat a Reca's peanut butter cup,
but I don't like ESA's Pieces because the ratio is
all whacked up.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, but to see, to me, those are two completely different. Yeah,
oh yeah, I mean the peanut butter in Reese's Pieces
is kind of different.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
It's not like, I don't know how, it's almost like a.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, it's more of a creamy yeah, I don't know. Okay,
So Baby Ruth.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Hang on watching McCall. It came out in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, seventy eight, so yeah, just barely.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It was peanut butter crisp in a thin layer of chocolate.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
This was a thin layer of chocolate, a thin layer
of caramel as well. Caramel caramel, you know, caramel like
you drive your caramel around on four wheels.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, so what else you gotta wear?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
So, Baby Ruth, baby roof.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Every tell I think of Baby Ruth. I think of
that movie Dookie.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, goonies. No, oh, the golfing.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, we usual baby roof.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
There was a baby ruth in goodies too. Oh yeah
with chunk chunk uh. Marathon bar, marathon bar. Now the
marathon bar I believe has been discontinued, Is that right.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I don't think no, it's I think it's it's well,
it's it's changed. No, but that was the eight inch
bar came out in August of seventy three, had a
ruler on the package.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Oh yeah, I kind of remember that.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
And it made retailers rethink shelf space. And remember marathon
John the Cowboy John Waynson. Yeah, yep, I do, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that was a marathon bar.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, number four on my list. Yeah. Snickers Snickers, yeap,
Snickers is the old standby I remember, and I don't
remember why, but I remember being a little kid, and
this could even been the sixties. Well I guess it
was the sixties.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Damn it.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Excuse me spak wrong when we live in Turkey. Yeah,
I remember my mom would buy the many the fun
size candy bars and she'd put them in the freezer.
So when I ate Sniker bars as a little kid,
they were always frozen.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I don't know if it was because we didn't have
probably didn't have air conditioning in our little trailer thingy
in Turkey melt so they'd melt. Yeah. So anyway, zero
that zero.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Now I missed the zero. I think the zero is gone.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
No, I think zeros are still around, are they? I
think I had one couple months ago. Oh yeah, the
white white chocolate.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Oh yeah, that came out in nineteen twenty. It was
actually first called the double zero. I was renamed in
nineteen thirty four. It's got caramel, carmels of caramel, a
caramel and peanuts and almonds and nougat and white fudds.
What's white. It's one of the few candy bars that's
not chocolate color exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And it doesn't taste like chocolate.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
No, it's white fudge, but fudge is basically chocolate though.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It just yeah, it's got to do it. I don't know.
It's a good, good King of bar. How about the
old zagnet? Do you remember Zagnut?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
You know, I don't think I ever had a Zagnut?
And where do you go? I know I had it
on here and there was a reason why after I
researched it, like, oh yeah, that's probably why I didn't
like it. I probably did. Oh yeah, Zagnut it was
peanut butter and toasted coconut. That's why I didn't need it. Yeah,
that came out in nineteen thirty. Yeah. No, I'm not
(16:26):
a guy and I can't do coconut.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I like the old Zagnut. Let's see one, two, three, four,
five six on my list Nestley Crunch because it had
them little Crispy Crispy crutters. Yeah, Krispy crutters in Uh that.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Would be isn't that kind of close to what'sm I
call it?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, except no caramel? Oh yeah, basically. Yeah. Why do
I have big hunt Hunk?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Hunk? The big hunk? Oh yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Why it changed it. Yeah, big hunk, man, I love.
I want to go find one because I haven't had
one of those, and I bet thirty years.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Well, it came out in nineteen fifty. It's roasted peanuts
covered in a honey sweetened nougat.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
And really really chewy.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, and it would shatter when you hit it on
the table if it.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Was caught if Yeah. But or you could buy them
where they were a little bit melty, and then it
was like taffy. And then do you remember the Planter's
Peanut bar. Basically it looked like a big clump of
peanuts that somebody had stuck in a rectangle and almost
(17:37):
like a rice Crispy tree, but made out of peanuts.
It was just literally just peanuts all stuck together.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Oh that sounds like another candy bar, but.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Well it's without the middle of payday, but a peanut.
Planter's Peanut Bar was literally just I don't know what
the gum that held it all together was, but it
was kind of crazy. Oh, it was like peanut brittle,
almost like peanut brittle. Oh was the Planter's Peanut Bar.
And then number ten on my list was three Musketeers.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Oh, it's three mscuit.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Now. When I was a kid, though, there was you
had to eat three Musketeers a certain way, and it
was to eat all of the chocolate off of the outside,
and then you'd be holding on to just that inside
nouga and it would start bending over.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I don't think I've ever done that.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Oh you haven't, dude, How could you not have done that?
I bet I didn't eat it. Three Musketeers without without
doing that.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Oh, it's kind of like nowadays when I eat either
a toffee bar or the heath bar, because they're basically
the same damn thing, and I like kind of like
barely bite into it and the slide the chocolate off
the the the what's in the middle of a teeth
boar toffee? Toffee toffee.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, well, see that's what I do, even even today,
I do it with my what you McCall it. I'll
just get my teeth and I'll bite the chocolate off
all the way around. I'll bite the chocolate off the
bottom and then I usually you usually can't get the
chocolate off the top because it's connected to the caramel.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Oh yeah, and so.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
But but then it changes a ratio where it's more
of like a crispy crunchy bar with very little chocolate on.
It changes the whole flavor, the whole complexion of a
candy ball.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I could eat a watch. I might call it because
it's peanut butter crisps.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, it's very unpeanut butter.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yeah, like I like butter fingers, but that the butterfingers
are it's it's it's not regular peanut butter.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
It's yeah, it's candy peanut butter's.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
See, I think the zagnut had except it had extra
stuff in it. But the Zagnuts were kind of like
a butterfinger.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah, but it had coconut.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I know. Well, and see that. So Butterfinger and Almond
Joy were like my eleven and twelve. Oh so you
probably never ate Almond Joys.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
No, it's all coconut except for the almond that's mounts.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Oh it mounts, no almond Almond Joy Almond has those.
Oh so the mounds was not oh oh, the mounds
was plain and the Almond Joy had the almonds backwards.
There you go.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I know, well because it always thoughted with the mound
of chocolate over though.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Oh lord, no, I've never eaten. I was just thinking
about it. Oh no, so that was your top ten.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That was my top ten.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I liked. It was one hundred thousand dollar bar back
in the seventies, I believe. So, yeah, that's probably my favorite,
either that or the heath Bar. For some reason, I
like the heath bar a little bit more than the
the other one that looks just like it. I just said,
well ago, yeah, and see.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I was never a huge toffee fan. Yeah, I mean
it's okay until I started eating the Brohm's mix, which
is basically the vanilla frozen yogurt and they put a
different candy in it. I'll get one of those with
vanilla and add heath and it makes the ice cream crunchy. Yeah,
(20:59):
it's got Heath bar.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yeah yeah, and it don't help exactly. Yeah, okay, well cool,
Well on my list, like I said, a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
The Clark bar, oh, the old clock bar.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Came at nineteen seventeen. It was this is this is
what I think. This is more like butterfinger, because I
don't know I've ever I don't think I've ever had
a Clark bar peanut butter spun taffy that kind of
sounds like what's in a butter finger. It was so
popular during World War Two that they put out one
(21:35):
point five million Clark bars a day. Oh wow, sent
them overseas to the gis.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It'd be a good protein fix.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah. And it was feeling too and these strikes were
coming up and they were getting ready to shut down production.
The US government had to step in and say, no,
you guys, keep making them damn bar.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, I wonder why why the Clark bar.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Specifically, I don't know, but just during World War Two.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I like I like Clark bars. I had have used
to eat those quite a bit.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
I just don't even much candy bars anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And basically the basically today, I basically watch McCall it's
and Baby Ruths. That's about well else snicker I guess
so here and I've probably talked about this before. If
you ever go to the movie theater, the best thing
ever is to get your regular buttered popcorn and a
snicker bar, and you take a fairly small bite of
(22:37):
snicker bar and a mouthful of popcorn, so the ratio
is way more popcorn, but the caramel in the snicker
bar mixes with the popcorn and almost makes it like
a caramel.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Corn caramel ball. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, but oh that's the best snack at a movie ever,
popcorn and snicker bar. If you guys try it, you'll
thank me for Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Do you remember the scrum delly ulptious bar?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Uh? I remember? I remember the name.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I don't know if I really It was the Willie
Wonka thing. Yeah, so there was a remember when oh
what was the kid's name and Willie Wonka. Uh. Anyway,
he found a dog, yeah, oh yeah, So he goes
in to buy a scrum dely Oshus.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Bar, Yeah, and didn't get a golden ticket, but he
had enough money left over to buy a Wanka bar
and that's the one where he got the golden.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Ticket Wonka bar issue.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
They don't really know what was in the scrum Delicious
Bar in the movie, but I guess, or you could
assume it's whatever it is now and I don't I
don't even put down one of the books. Uh the
chocoal light. Did you ever read a chocolate light?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I did eat a chocolate light.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
That came out seventy two. It was literally a lighter
chocolate a.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, it was kind of the chocolate was like all
I can say is like airy airy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, it's like air pockets in it.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, literally had a little hair, little caves in there.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It looked like what it looked like. Uh. Oh Henry
from nineteen.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Twenty oh Henry.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Yeah, yeah, peanuts and caramel and fudge. I don't know
that I've ever had one of those.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, I'm trying to think of what and O Henry
would be compared to.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Di.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I can't even think anyway. Yeah, I ate quite a
few o Henry bars back in the day.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Did you ever eat a caravel?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I did eat a caravel?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Good lord.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Oh oh yeah, let me so real quick. Yeah, I'm
looking at my list. Yeah, I don't ever remember a
seven up candy bar.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Oh, I want one of those.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I don't remember them, and I don't here's there's only
about three I don't remember seven up, Powerhouse, Summit and Butternut. Yeah,
pretty much every other candy bar you're gonna mention, I've
had plenty of them.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah, yeah, I'm getting to that seven up Caroville came
out nineteen nineteen, rice caramel and milk chocolate, basically one
hundred thousand dollars bar.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah. Like you said at the beginning, almost all of
these are like there's like five or six ingredients, and
every one of these candy bars is like just a
different interpretation of the same ingredient.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah, different variations, different amounts of this, and a little
tweak of that. Yeah, and then it's marketing except for
the zero. Except for the zero. It was it was
way out there on this. It was a little different,
mister goodbar that was my mom's serve candy bar. Oh
really Yeah, came out in nineteen twenty five.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
It was so cool they made a movie after.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Oh yeah, it's true. It was like a Hershey bar
with a lot of nuts.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah. Which, so Denise buys the little miniatures yeah today
and puts them in a bowl for the holidays. And
that's one of my favorites to snack. It's got some
peanuts in there.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Yeah, it's pretty pretty healthy, pretty healthy bunch of peanuts.
Fifth Avenue Bar from nineteen thirty six.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Oh yeah, it was way back.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Crunchy peanut butter and milk chocolate, chunky. Okay, do you
remember the chunky?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, the Chunky bar. I mean it was that.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
It was the true trum truncated pyramid.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I was gonna say it was. It was more squarish.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
It was squarish. Yeah, and it was shorter. It was
smaller to top than the bottom.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Came out in nineteen thirty two. Do you remember that
having raisins in it?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh? Wow? No, did it have raisins? Sa Chunky had raisins.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I do not remember raisins in Chunky now. Maybe in
nineteen thirty I had raisins. But when we were eating
them in the seventies, I don't think it had raisins.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I don't remember it having raisins.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
But it's just a big old chunk of chocolate.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It's a big chunk of I thought it was just
a big chunk of chocolate.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Apparently at one point in time, somewhere along the line,
so somebody put raisins in there.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Somebody out there, you know what. I'm guessing that they're
still making them, I think. So I have to go
buy the store tomorrow and buy one, see if it's
got any raisins in it.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Okay. The Powerhouse Bar, which you talked about, came out
in nineteen nineteen. A lot of these came out the
teens and early twenties. At Chocolate, peanuts, fudge, and caramel
is no longer available. Like you said, we talked about
the zero bar. Now. The skybar is kind of like
the seven up bar.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Now. I guess that's another one. I don't I don't
remember the Skybar.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I don't either. It came out in nineteen thirty eight
and it had four different sections fudge, carmel, vanilla, peanut, butter,
or peanut and it was started by the Nico company.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Oh really, yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
You remember the Regi bar baseball player Regie.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
It looked like a big turtle, you know, like the
turtle bars. Yeah, is that really a bar? I guess
that's a bar.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well, yeah, we will classify it in the yeah candy
bar category.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
But the seven Up bar that you were talking about,
which is no longer available, looked really really cool. So
it had seven different compartments and you never knew what
the flavor was. Now, the the skybar had the same flavors,
so if you bit in one end, you knew what
the next one was gonna be. But the the seven
(28:39):
Up bar, they rotated. Oh really yeah, so you never
knew what you're gonna bite into. Kite of lock a
box Chalco looks interesting.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Anybody out there, you guys, email or a call let
us know if you guys remember the seven Up candy bar.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I'm not sure when it discontinued. But uh, the wig Wag,
Oh I don't have that one on my list. It
looks like a marathon bar, but shorter and.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Oh yeah, I think was that from the UK.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Though curly Yeah, it's called a Curly Warley over.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
There, you go, Okay, yeah, that's right, I did see that.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah. And then another one I don't remember is the milkshake.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Bar Oh, I remember the milkshake, yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Which is basically just a milky Way.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, and that we haven't even talked about the Milky Way.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I love.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
The thing about the Milky Way is compared to it's
kind of like the in between of the Three Musketeer
and the Snickers. So it's like super kind of super boring,
except that came out with the dark chocolate.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yes, which actually is made to replace I can't remember
which one was discontinued crap, but anyway, Yeah, I love
dark chocolate.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, so when Denise buys those little minis, you got
the one the special dark. I always wipe this like
a grab all because I don't think anybody else in
my family likes dark chocolate.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
So I used to go to Holdings all the time
over here in the corner, and they had the little
box sitting on the counter and you could, I think,
we are they like a quarter or something like that,
and me and apparently one other person would always get
out the dark chocolate because dark chocolate supposed to be
good for you. Yeah, or at least better than milk chocolate. Anyway.
(30:25):
I would go in there, and Barbara would go he
was in here a while ago, got all the dark
chocolate once. I'm like some of them. Yeah, because I
didn't want a whole candy bar. I just want a
little back.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, that's what I like about him. You can just
grab one and it just it's enough to hold you
over till dinner. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I don't think I could eat the whole candy bar
right now.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I probably couldn't. Yeah. So I went to AI A
I and I said, hey, AI, because I can. There's
no list. There's literally no lists of the top candy
bars in the seventies by sales, by anything I could.
I mean, sir, there's no candy bar Association. There's nothing
(31:10):
out there. And then if you get any information, they
it starts to include laughy taffy and skittles and stuff
that aren't candy bars. So I went to AI and
I said, hey, AI, give me the top selling most
popular candy bars in the seventies, and it spit out
a list. Look, thank god for it went out and
(31:32):
went did its thing, top ten best selling and most
loved candy bars of the seventies. While exact sells data
from that decade are hard to pinpoint, these are widely
recognized as the favorite based on advertising, cultural impact, and
availability at the time. In order, Snickers number one, yep,
(31:56):
Milky Way number two three, Musketeer number three, Peanut Buttercup
number four, Baby Ruth number five, Butterfinger six, paid A seven,
Clark Bar eight, what you might call it nine, and
zero bar ten.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
That's pretty yeah, I'd agree with that.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
That's probably your most popular candy bars.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
And they might flip flop in different parts of the country.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, here and there, here and there, yeah, and then
so and then you had kind of mentioned so the
candy bars that were actually released in the seventies was
what you might call it Marathon bar. And then I
guess Carmelo oh yeah, had been released in the UK,
but Peter Paul released it in the US in the seventies. So,
(32:42):
and you know, candy bar companies had cool names back
back in the day, you know. And that was one
reason I really liked the Baby Ruth as a kid,
because it was made by Curtis except it was two
s's yeah at the end. And I'll always remember, and
I searched for this all the time. I always remember,
and it was probably in the sixties. I remember being
(33:03):
a kid and there being a Baby Ruth commercial that
would come on and it would show the Baby Ruth
bar in the in the packaging and this the camera
would slide to the end of the package, and at
the end of the Baby Ruth package there was this
candy maker guy that had this big candy thing and
(33:24):
he was like miniature stuck in the and I just
always remember that commercial and I've never been able to
find a copy of it ever. I mean I've searched,
and I've searched.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Search storled over.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
So if anybody runs across an old Baby Ruth commercial
from probably around the late sixties of this guy in
the end of the candy bar, I.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Think I remember you talking about, let me know, send
me a link.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
How are we doing on time over there?
Speaker 3 (33:51):
We're okay, but we might might keep it a little short.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah, we might go a little short. Let me see
if you missed any.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Four podcasts.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Did you talk about Mars No, I did not. I
got Mars Bar and then we got the regulars like
the Hershey's with Almond.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Oh yeah, I do like those. Every once in a
while I will crave a Hershey with a and I
always get the one with the almonds.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
The cool thing about those is the almonds are always good.
They're like crunchy. The thing about the zero bar that
I always kind of remember is the peanuts weren't. They
were almost kind of soggy. They weren't like crunchy for
some reason, I don't know what. I think we covered everything.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Though, And is it just am I remembering this? Cracked
was a zeerra bar like extra sweet or something.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
They were pretty sweet? Yeah, I mean, like.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Maybe that's why I quit eating them because they were
too sweet.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah yeah, it said, yeah, yeah, they're pretty sweet.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Okay, you guys, let us know what your favorite candy
bar was growing up in the seventies. And gosh, I'm
trying to think. I mean, I think I remember when
King bars went up to like fifty cents, which we
thought was highway robbery.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
But what are they now? Like a buck and a
half or something.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Oh god, I think they're more than that. Really, I
think they're pretty but they keep they keeping create. You know,
you almost can't buy a regular candy bar anymore.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Now they're like king size.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
King size, and now there's even Yeah, they even the piggers.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Yeah, well you gotta buy the pigger ones. Yeah. I
keep looking for the Smarlo ones.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah, they don't make the small and even like Eminem
packages of Eminem's, it's always super size and family size
and share and shareable and all that. But you guys,

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Candy bar.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
That was a yeah, we can come up with a
lot of There was like no there was like no
information on top selling candy bars in the seventies, or
I mean, there wasn't like any lists anywhere, and then
you'd find a list of candy bars and there'd be
like laughy taffy and it wasn't even candy bars.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, I was like, holy crap.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Well, I mean it's candy bar. It's chocolate and nougat
and peanuts, and it's amazing how many different ways you
can make a candy war.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's kind of like at a Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, exactly like a Mexican restaurant. But what I did
was I kind of a I kind of created a
list of either there not around anymore, or you know,
because I mean we had snickers back then. They're still snickers.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Know, milky ways and all those. So I want to
look I want a little more secure, obscure. Oh, we got,
we got, we got, we got, we got business take
care of first forget two carried away?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Uh are we going? Are we talking? Have we started?
I thought we were talking.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Okay, now we are talking.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
So, hey, welcome to the podcast. Glad I'm here. Hey
you guys hit us up at five eight oh five
from one to three oh five. That is your Busshead
hotline or buzz at buzzhead media dot com. And I
don't think I got any emails from anybody to read.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So well, yeah, it's a little quiet, kind of quiet
this week. Everybody's doing stuff, summertime stuff. Uh. Dave did call,
did he have the seventies bus stuff? Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
He talked about Paul McCartney. Ye, kind of like, didn't
he say, being like the Mozart of our arts?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Beethoven Beethoven, Beethoven Mozart.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
The fan, well, the fan was on. I could barely hear.
So anyway, really not a whole lot. If you want
to hear Dave's comments, go to listen to Buzzhead Radio.
He had more to talk about over there.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And then Larry Larry, he's the guy doing the poll.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Larry's the guy on the seventies buzz Facebook group. Is
he doing that? Like? Is it a different poll? I
guess it's a different poll every week, right, so you
have like a week to vote. And then he puts
the songs, the four songs that were the next Yeah.
(03:48):
So anyway, he suggested possibly making kind of like a
bracket out of it, getting down to like the top
sixteen and then doing an episode and then somehow we'll
maybe we'll throw the sixteen out there, have everybody vote
(04:09):
somehow but not publicly, and then we can have an
episode and divulge the seventies buzz top sixteen in order
something like that, right, But yeah, Larry, yeah, we are game.
We will have you on and you just keep counting
them down until you figure out a way to get
(04:31):
down to the top sixteen. And then we'll do like
an online poll or something where people like I say,
can't see the results, and then we'll have a show
and talk about it and then divulge the seventies. But
because I mean, whatever the seventies buzz listeners decide is
(04:52):
the top sixteen songs from the seventies is like the
ultimate list in all magazines. News organization will be wanting
to use that list. I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Okay, hang on, did Ozzie die?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Oh you didn't know?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
So almost brought I'm almost at something at dinner. So
when he died, like in the middle of the afternoon,
I almost texted you and said, are you at work
or can we switch? I almost thought about switching one
of our topics tonight. Yeah, well we wouldn't have time.
I mean, oh well, so anyway, yeah, but yeah, I
was going to talk about that on the bus, said radio,
(05:30):
But we talk about it here. I mean he was
almost all the Black Sabbath albums were in the seventies.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Oh sure, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
So yeah, So if you hadn't heard, which I'm sure
you have by the time you listen to this, h
Ozzie died, which is kind of poetic that he got
the band back together and had a concert.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, he wasn't looking very good.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well you've sat the whole time.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, so, poor guy. So, I mean that concert was
what two weeks ago?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah? Is it just two weeks ago? I get you know,
he's got Parkinson's or something like that. So, so he
just died this afternoon today. It was this morning. I
think he died this morning and they kind of took
him a couple hours to for the family to kind
of let it float out.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Oh wow, Well that's a bummer, sorry, Auzie.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, so yeah, that's uh. I mean, you wouldn't think
Ozzie would be that big of a deal, but guy,
it took up the whole news day today. I mean
every news, every news outlet. I was talking about it.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I wouldn't watch the news, but I mean every.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
News outlet on Facebook and everywhere it was.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I guess that wasn't on Facebook. I saw her Christopher
Todde posted something and then I just kind of he's
talking about going seeing him.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
But yeah, I was like, wow, yep, that was it.
So yeah, so seventy six years old. Yeah, so we're
we'll talk a little bit about Black Sabbath when Bill
Ward came to Eno, Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Oh that's why you posted that on both a radio.
So yeah, I'm just not with it. Guy, I'm just
not with it today.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I guess a little out of the was. Yeah, it
was quite a surprise.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So just I'm sure natural cloud.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I mean yeah, I think just he had so many
medical problems. Although you know when people were saying he
looks like he's about to die, and his daughter kept
saying he's not. He's got Parkinson's, He's fine, and then
not so fine.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Maybe not Kelly.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And did you know did you see she got engaged
at that concert?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I think Kelly did.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, right after that concert.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
No I didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, I can't remember a musician from a band proposed
to her and she said yeah, but I can't think
of what band it was. Well she sure changed, okay,
yeah completely.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Well, and Sharon's looking a little Ozmpic too.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I mean she's Olympic subverb.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Now and I tell you they're more. We can talk
about that on the other episode. But yeah, more and
more side effects are coming out, so be careful, yeah,
careful with that stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
As soon as I saw that stuff come out, I'm like,
it's going to be too good to be true, just
like this is like a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah. So okay, So back to Larry yep, Larry, we
will do that and that'll be fun.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
And like I said, I don't think I didn't. If
I did, they got buried. And so if you emailed,
I don't have your email, like it was, yeah one
of those weeks.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, this movie dope.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
So you're saying this episode right now is our four
hundredth episode.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
This is our four hundredth episode, guys, this is our
freaking four hundredth episode.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeay, and what I so look at So I don't
want to spin it out, son, we're doing two episodes tonight.
I don't want to get all into it. But anyway,
so I was looking for what could be easy that
we could throw two episodes together and get them done tonight,
and I got to thinking, well, we haven't really done
(09:08):
Jaws fiftieth anniversary Justice. And then there's some episodes that
we did in the beginning that are so far back
that it's almost criminal that we can't really talk about
that stuff because we've already done an episode on that.
So I look back, we've been doing this eight years.
(09:28):
So eight years ago we did our Jaws episode.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, it was June twenty sixth, June twenty fifth, twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Twenty seventeen, so and then third episode, and then we
also did a Candy in the seventies episode, but it
was like a candy included everything that we could think of.
So this episode tonight, we're what we're doing is we're
narrowing it down to just candy bars.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Didn't someone suggest that?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I think somebody suggested.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
That that's good, And we were like, well.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
We already talked about candy, but.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, but again, and if unless you're a new and
you listened to all the episodes and you memorized them love,
you probably forgot that we ever did a candy episode
because it's been eight years ago, and the same with Jaws.
So so basically next week's episode is Jaws, right.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
That we're gonna do tonight that we're gonna do night.
You'll never know, but you'll hear next week, next week.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So tonight it's all about the candy.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Bar, candy bars. It's amazing how many different kind of
candy bars there are or was or used to be.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah. So the thing about candy bars in the seventies
is we ate a lot of candy bars that were
invented in the thirties, forties, fifties, and sixties.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Or even the teens even.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
And I think they quit making inventing candy bars in
the eighties because there aren't anything good since the seventies.
So the candy bars that we ate in the seventies
were the best. And why is that, mister Wheeler.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Because that was the greatest decade Nope.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Man, and also the greatest candy decade.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm looking at these dates nineteen seventeen,
nineteen thirty, nineteen fifty seventy two, nineteen nineteen, twenty five, thirty. Yeah,
there's nothing in like the sixties.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
The thing about the candy bar, yeah, is once you
got a successful candy bar, you did not let it go.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, I did, see. I did come across a couple
of them that you know these people get bought out.
Well yeah, yeah, and then for some like there was
a one, there was one this company had I can't
can't remember what it was. I didn't don't think I
wrote it down, had peanut butter in it, and the
family who owned the company decided they didn't like peanut butter.
(11:43):
So you just see, I mean, I'm not a huge
fan of peanut butter.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Oh god, I love peanut butter.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But if I got a candy bar they're selling like hotcakes,
put all the peanut butter in there, you can't boody.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well, just don't eat it. Yeah, make the candy bar,
don't eat it, and make a candy bar that you like.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah. Well, so we're coming at this from all different angles.
One of my angles was my top ten. So this
is from my memories of eating candy bars in the seventies.
This is my top ten list of candy bars for me.
And the number one was like halfway through because they
didn't it didn't come out until the seventies. But the
(12:25):
watch McCall it, oh yeah, and I still eat Watch
McCall it's today, except now they have the super sized
watch McCall, which is it's actually different than the regular
watch McCall it because it's so big. The ratio changes.
They didn't keep the exact ratio, so you get a
(12:45):
lot more different things on their.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
That's why I can eat a Reca's peanut butter cup,
but I don't like ESA's Pieces because the ratio is
all whacked up.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, but to see, to me, those are two completely different. Yeah,
oh yeah, I mean the peanut butter in Reese's Pieces
is kind of different.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
It's not like, I don't know how, it's almost like a.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, it's more of a creamy yeah, I don't know. Okay,
So Baby Ruth.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Hang on watching McCall. It came out in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, seventy eight, so yeah, just barely.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It was peanut butter crisp in a thin layer of chocolate.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
This was a thin layer of chocolate, a thin layer
of caramel as well. Caramel caramel, you know, caramel like
you drive your caramel around on four wheels.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, so what else you gotta wear?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
So, Baby Ruth, baby roof.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Every tell I think of Baby Ruth. I think of
that movie Dookie.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, goonies. No, oh, the golfing.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, we usual baby roof.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
There was a baby ruth in goodies too. Oh yeah
with chunk chunk uh. Marathon bar, marathon bar. Now the
marathon bar I believe has been discontinued, Is that right.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I don't think no, it's I think it's it's well,
it's it's changed. No, but that was the eight inch
bar came out in August of seventy three, had a
ruler on the package.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Oh yeah, I kind of remember that.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
And it made retailers rethink shelf space. And remember marathon
John the Cowboy John Waynson. Yeah, yep, I do, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that was a marathon bar.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, number four on my list. Yeah. Snickers Snickers, yeap,
Snickers is the old standby I remember, and I don't
remember why, but I remember being a little kid, and
this could even been the sixties. Well I guess it
was the sixties.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Damn it.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Excuse me spak wrong when we live in Turkey. Yeah,
I remember my mom would buy the many the fun
size candy bars and she'd put them in the freezer.
So when I ate Sniker bars as a little kid,
they were always frozen.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I don't know if it was because we didn't have
probably didn't have air conditioning in our little trailer thingy
in Turkey melt so they'd melt. Yeah. So anyway, zero
that zero.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Now I missed the zero. I think the zero is gone.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
No, I think zeros are still around, are they? I
think I had one couple months ago. Oh yeah, the
white white chocolate.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Oh yeah, that came out in nineteen twenty. It was
actually first called the double zero. I was renamed in
nineteen thirty four. It's got caramel, carmels of caramel, a
caramel and peanuts and almonds and nougat and white fudds.
What's white. It's one of the few candy bars that's
not chocolate color exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And it doesn't taste like chocolate.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
No, it's white fudge, but fudge is basically chocolate though.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It just yeah, it's got to do it. I don't know.
It's a good, good King of bar. How about the
old zagnet? Do you remember Zagnut?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
You know, I don't think I ever had a Zagnut?
And where do you go? I know I had it
on here and there was a reason why after I
researched it, like, oh yeah, that's probably why I didn't
like it. I probably did. Oh yeah, Zagnut it was
peanut butter and toasted coconut. That's why I didn't need it. Yeah,
that came out in nineteen thirty. Yeah. No, I'm not
(16:26):
a guy and I can't do coconut.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I like the old Zagnut. Let's see one, two, three, four,
five six on my list Nestley Crunch because it had
them little Crispy Crispy crutters. Yeah, Krispy crutters in Uh that.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Would be isn't that kind of close to what'sm I
call it?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, except no caramel? Oh yeah, basically. Yeah. Why do
I have big hunt Hunk?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Hunk? The big hunk? Oh yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Why it changed it. Yeah, big hunk, man, I love.
I want to go find one because I haven't had
one of those, and I bet thirty years.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Well, it came out in nineteen fifty. It's roasted peanuts
covered in a honey sweetened nougat.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
And really really chewy.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, and it would shatter when you hit it on
the table if it.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Was caught if Yeah. But or you could buy them
where they were a little bit melty, and then it
was like taffy. And then do you remember the Planter's
Peanut bar. Basically it looked like a big clump of
peanuts that somebody had stuck in a rectangle and almost
(17:37):
like a rice Crispy tree, but made out of peanuts.
It was just literally just peanuts all stuck together.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Oh that sounds like another candy bar, but.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Well it's without the middle of payday, but a peanut.
Planter's Peanut Bar was literally just I don't know what
the gum that held it all together was, but it
was kind of crazy. Oh, it was like peanut brittle,
almost like peanut brittle. Oh was the Planter's Peanut Bar.
And then number ten on my list was three Musketeers.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Oh, it's three mscuit.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Now. When I was a kid, though, there was you
had to eat three Musketeers a certain way, and it
was to eat all of the chocolate off of the outside,
and then you'd be holding on to just that inside
nouga and it would start bending over.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I don't think I've ever done that.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Oh you haven't, dude, How could you not have done that?
I bet I didn't eat it. Three Musketeers without without
doing that.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Oh, it's kind of like nowadays when I eat either
a toffee bar or the heath bar, because they're basically
the same damn thing, and I like kind of like
barely bite into it and the slide the chocolate off
the the the what's in the middle of a teeth
boar toffee? Toffee toffee.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, well, see that's what I do, even even today,
I do it with my what you McCall it. I'll
just get my teeth and I'll bite the chocolate off
all the way around. I'll bite the chocolate off the
bottom and then I usually you usually can't get the
chocolate off the top because it's connected to the caramel.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Oh yeah, and so.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
But but then it changes a ratio where it's more
of like a crispy crunchy bar with very little chocolate on.
It changes the whole flavor, the whole complexion of a
candy ball.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I could eat a watch. I might call it because
it's peanut butter crisps.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, it's very unpeanut butter.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yeah, like I like butter fingers, but that the butterfingers
are it's it's it's not regular peanut butter.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
It's yeah, it's candy peanut butter's.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
See, I think the zagnut had except it had extra
stuff in it. But the Zagnuts were kind of like
a butterfinger.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah, but it had coconut.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I know. Well, and see that. So Butterfinger and Almond
Joy were like my eleven and twelve. Oh so you
probably never ate Almond Joys.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
No, it's all coconut except for the almond that's mounts.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Oh it mounts, no almond Almond Joy Almond has those.
Oh so the mounds was not oh oh, the mounds
was plain and the Almond Joy had the almonds backwards.
There you go.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I know, well because it always thoughted with the mound
of chocolate over though.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Oh lord, no, I've never eaten. I was just thinking
about it. Oh no, so that was your top ten.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That was my top ten.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I liked. It was one hundred thousand dollar bar back
in the seventies, I believe. So, yeah, that's probably my favorite,
either that or the heath Bar. For some reason, I
like the heath bar a little bit more than the
the other one that looks just like it. I just said,
well ago, yeah, and see.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I was never a huge toffee fan. Yeah, I mean
it's okay until I started eating the Brohm's mix, which
is basically the vanilla frozen yogurt and they put a
different candy in it. I'll get one of those with
vanilla and add heath and it makes the ice cream crunchy. Yeah,
(20:59):
it's got Heath bar.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yeah yeah, and it don't help exactly. Yeah, okay, well cool,
Well on my list, like I said, a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
The Clark bar, oh, the old clock bar.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Came at nineteen seventeen. It was this is this is
what I think. This is more like butterfinger, because I
don't know I've ever I don't think I've ever had
a Clark bar peanut butter spun taffy that kind of
sounds like what's in a butter finger. It was so
popular during World War Two that they put out one
(21:35):
point five million Clark bars a day. Oh wow, sent
them overseas to the gis.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It'd be a good protein fix.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah. And it was feeling too and these strikes were
coming up and they were getting ready to shut down production.
The US government had to step in and say, no,
you guys, keep making them damn bar.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, I wonder why why the Clark bar.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Specifically, I don't know, but just during World War Two.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I like I like Clark bars. I had have used
to eat those quite a bit.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
I just don't even much candy bars anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And basically the basically today, I basically watch McCall it's
and Baby Ruths. That's about well else snicker I guess
so here and I've probably talked about this before. If
you ever go to the movie theater, the best thing
ever is to get your regular buttered popcorn and a
snicker bar, and you take a fairly small bite of
(22:37):
snicker bar and a mouthful of popcorn, so the ratio
is way more popcorn, but the caramel in the snicker
bar mixes with the popcorn and almost makes it like
a caramel.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Corn caramel ball. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, but oh that's the best snack at a movie ever,
popcorn and snicker bar. If you guys try it, you'll
thank me for Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Do you remember the scrum delly ulptious bar?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Uh? I remember? I remember the name.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I don't know if I really It was the Willie
Wonka thing. Yeah, so there was a remember when oh
what was the kid's name and Willie Wonka. Uh. Anyway,
he found a dog, yeah, oh yeah, So he goes
in to buy a scrum dely Oshus.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Bar, Yeah, and didn't get a golden ticket, but he
had enough money left over to buy a Wanka bar
and that's the one where he got the golden.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Ticket Wonka bar issue.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
They don't really know what was in the scrum Delicious
Bar in the movie, but I guess, or you could
assume it's whatever it is now and I don't I
don't even put down one of the books. Uh the
chocoal light. Did you ever read a chocolate light?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I did eat a chocolate light.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
That came out seventy two. It was literally a lighter
chocolate a.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, it was kind of the chocolate was like all
I can say is like airy airy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, it's like air pockets in it.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, literally had a little hair, little caves in there.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It looked like what it looked like. Uh. Oh Henry
from nineteen.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Twenty oh Henry.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Yeah, yeah, peanuts and caramel and fudge. I don't know
that I've ever had one of those.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, I'm trying to think of what and O Henry
would be compared to.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Di.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I can't even think anyway. Yeah, I ate quite a
few o Henry bars back in the day.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Did you ever eat a caravel?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I did eat a caravel?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Good lord.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Oh oh yeah, let me so real quick. Yeah, I'm
looking at my list. Yeah, I don't ever remember a
seven up candy bar.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Oh, I want one of those.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I don't remember them, and I don't here's there's only
about three I don't remember seven up, Powerhouse, Summit and Butternut. Yeah,
pretty much every other candy bar you're gonna mention, I've
had plenty of them.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah, yeah, I'm getting to that seven up Caroville came
out nineteen nineteen, rice caramel and milk chocolate, basically one
hundred thousand dollars bar.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah. Like you said at the beginning, almost all of
these are like there's like five or six ingredients, and
every one of these candy bars is like just a
different interpretation of the same ingredient.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah, different variations, different amounts of this, and a little
tweak of that. Yeah, and then it's marketing except for
the zero. Except for the zero. It was it was
way out there on this. It was a little different,
mister goodbar that was my mom's serve candy bar. Oh
really Yeah, came out in nineteen twenty five.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
It was so cool they made a movie after.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Oh yeah, it's true. It was like a Hershey bar
with a lot of nuts.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah. Which, so Denise buys the little miniatures yeah today
and puts them in a bowl for the holidays. And
that's one of my favorites to snack. It's got some
peanuts in there.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Yeah, it's pretty pretty healthy, pretty healthy bunch of peanuts.
Fifth Avenue Bar from nineteen thirty six.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Oh yeah, it was way back.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Crunchy peanut butter and milk chocolate, chunky. Okay, do you
remember the chunky?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, the Chunky bar. I mean it was that.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
It was the true trum truncated pyramid.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I was gonna say it was. It was more squarish.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
It was squarish. Yeah, and it was shorter. It was
smaller to top than the bottom.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Came out in nineteen thirty two. Do you remember that
having raisins in it?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh? Wow? No, did it have raisins? Sa Chunky had raisins.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I do not remember raisins in Chunky now. Maybe in
nineteen thirty I had raisins. But when we were eating
them in the seventies, I don't think it had raisins.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I don't remember it having raisins.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
But it's just a big old chunk of chocolate.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It's a big chunk of I thought it was just
a big chunk of chocolate.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Apparently at one point in time, somewhere along the line,
so somebody put raisins in there.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Somebody out there, you know what. I'm guessing that they're
still making them, I think. So I have to go
buy the store tomorrow and buy one, see if it's
got any raisins in it.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Okay. The Powerhouse Bar, which you talked about, came out
in nineteen nineteen. A lot of these came out the
teens and early twenties. At Chocolate, peanuts, fudge, and caramel
is no longer available. Like you said, we talked about
the zero bar. Now. The skybar is kind of like
the seven up bar.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Now. I guess that's another one. I don't I don't
remember the Skybar.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I don't either. It came out in nineteen thirty eight
and it had four different sections fudge, carmel, vanilla, peanut, butter,
or peanut and it was started by the Nico company.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Oh really, yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
You remember the Regi bar baseball player Regie.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
It looked like a big turtle, you know, like the
turtle bars. Yeah, is that really a bar? I guess
that's a bar.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well, yeah, we will classify it in the yeah candy
bar category.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
But the seven Up bar that you were talking about,
which is no longer available, looked really really cool. So
it had seven different compartments and you never knew what
the flavor was. Now, the the skybar had the same flavors,
so if you bit in one end, you knew what
the next one was gonna be. But the the seven
(28:39):
Up bar, they rotated. Oh really yeah, so you never
knew what you're gonna bite into. Kite of lock a
box Chalco looks interesting.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Anybody out there, you guys, email or a call let
us know if you guys remember the seven Up candy bar.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I'm not sure when it discontinued. But uh, the wig Wag,
Oh I don't have that one on my list. It
looks like a marathon bar, but shorter and.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Oh yeah, I think was that from the UK.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Though curly Yeah, it's called a Curly Warley over.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
There, you go, Okay, yeah, that's right, I did see that.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah. And then another one I don't remember is the milkshake.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Bar Oh, I remember the milkshake, yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Which is basically just a milky Way.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, and that we haven't even talked about the Milky Way.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I love.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
The thing about the Milky Way is compared to it's
kind of like the in between of the Three Musketeer
and the Snickers. So it's like super kind of super boring,
except that came out with the dark chocolate.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yes, which actually is made to replace I can't remember
which one was discontinued crap, but anyway, Yeah, I love
dark chocolate.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, so when Denise buys those little minis, you got
the one the special dark. I always wipe this like
a grab all because I don't think anybody else in
my family likes dark chocolate.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
So I used to go to Holdings all the time
over here in the corner, and they had the little
box sitting on the counter and you could, I think,
we are they like a quarter or something like that,
and me and apparently one other person would always get
out the dark chocolate because dark chocolate supposed to be
good for you. Yeah, or at least better than milk chocolate. Anyway.
(30:25):
I would go in there, and Barbara would go he
was in here a while ago, got all the dark
chocolate once. I'm like some of them. Yeah, because I
didn't want a whole candy bar. I just want a
little back.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, that's what I like about him. You can just
grab one and it just it's enough to hold you
over till dinner. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I don't think I could eat the whole candy bar
right now.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I probably couldn't. Yeah. So I went to AI A
I and I said, hey, AI, because I can. There's
no list. There's literally no lists of the top candy
bars in the seventies by sales, by anything I could.
I mean, sir, there's no candy bar Association. There's nothing
(31:10):
out there. And then if you get any information, they
it starts to include laughy taffy and skittles and stuff
that aren't candy bars. So I went to AI and
I said, hey, AI, give me the top selling most
popular candy bars in the seventies, and it spit out
a list. Look, thank god for it went out and
(31:32):
went did its thing, top ten best selling and most
loved candy bars of the seventies. While exact sells data
from that decade are hard to pinpoint, these are widely
recognized as the favorite based on advertising, cultural impact, and
availability at the time. In order, Snickers number one, yep,
(31:56):
Milky Way number two three, Musketeer number three, Peanut Buttercup
number four, Baby Ruth number five, Butterfinger six, paid A seven,
Clark Bar eight, what you might call it nine, and
zero bar ten.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
That's pretty yeah, I'd agree with that.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
That's probably your most popular candy bars.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
And they might flip flop in different parts of the country.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, here and there, here and there, yeah, and then
so and then you had kind of mentioned so the
candy bars that were actually released in the seventies was
what you might call it Marathon bar. And then I
guess Carmelo oh yeah, had been released in the UK,
but Peter Paul released it in the US in the seventies. So,
(32:42):
and you know, candy bar companies had cool names back
back in the day, you know. And that was one
reason I really liked the Baby Ruth as a kid,
because it was made by Curtis except it was two
s's yeah at the end. And I'll always remember, and
I searched for this all the time. I always remember,
and it was probably in the sixties. I remember being
(33:03):
a kid and there being a Baby Ruth commercial that
would come on and it would show the Baby Ruth
bar in the in the packaging and this the camera
would slide to the end of the package, and at
the end of the Baby Ruth package there was this
candy maker guy that had this big candy thing and
(33:24):
he was like miniature stuck in the and I just
always remember that commercial and I've never been able to
find a copy of it ever. I mean I've searched,
and I've searched.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Search storled over.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
So if anybody runs across an old Baby Ruth commercial
from probably around the late sixties of this guy in
the end of the candy bar, I.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Think I remember you talking about, let me know, send
me a link.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
How are we doing on time over there?
Speaker 3 (33:51):
We're okay, but we might might keep it a little short.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah, we might go a little short. Let me see
if you missed any.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Four podcasts.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Did you talk about Mars No, I did not. I
got Mars Bar and then we got the regulars like
the Hershey's with Almond.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
