A candy bar that was actually seven candy bars in one is even better than a doll that's two dolls in one, or a mint that's two mints in one! Man, do I miss the Seven-Up candy bars.
Seven-Up bars had seven separate flavor sensations. According to Pearson's Candy Company, the flavors changed based on consumer taste. When it was discontinued in 1979, a Seven-Up bar had butterscotch caramel, cherry cream, fudge, orange jelly, nougat, coconut, and butter cream. You just couldn't find any candybar that compared to one of these--not even the Uno Bar, my other favorite.
Pearson's won't make this for us again, no matter how much we beg. They no longer have the proper equipment to do so, and they don't own the rights to the name. History and candy freaks should check out Pearson's website, which includes pictures of old Seven-Up wrappers.
And if you close your eyes, you can pretend the Sky Bar is a Seven-Up bar...okay, half a Seven-Up bar. But with different flavors. Sigh.
