Badly named, mighty tasty, and gone

Considering these weren't clusters at all, I don't know why Nature Valley called them Granola Clusters.  They were marketed as "nature's answer to candy"--as though they had magically less sugar or were somehow healthier than candy. I doubt it. But granola anything was considered healthy in the 70s, no matter how much sugar or fat it had.

These were tubes that were filled with yumminess and rolled in something light and crunchy. Really delicious. Really discontinued.

This might be 1980s vintage, but close enough. Click below for a commercial.
