god drat all those are loving horrible and bringing back bad memories.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who despises banana runts and banana candy like laffy taffy, I always picked those out and threw them away since they were basically unedible.

These things never did it for me

i haven't had those since like 1995, but i remember a few of the flavorings being pretty good (i think blue and red ones?) and the rest being unedible chalky garbage (brown, tan and orange ones). so you'd end up throwing away like 90% of the package

i really hate orange candy too so I thought the orange sucked. root beer candy is also awful but idk if the bottle caps ones sucked i just remember throwing away almost all of the shades-of-brown caps.

A former employee said the Mars family (of the Mars candy company) hates peanut butter. This hatred is stronger than their love of money.

Hey man candy corn isn't that bad. Its a little waxy and odd, but it doesn't have the otherworldly qualities of circus peanuts.

I dunno man. Every year I keep emailing Mars that it's time to bring them back and make trillions. They always thank me and say they are sorry that it's been discontinued.

So then I email Hersheys telling them it's time to bring this back:



And I get the same fuckin answer.

So I go to the store and end up with a Mr. Goodbar.

I remember Bar None bars - they were pretty good as I recall. Weird how they just seem to have faded out of existence, yet the market can sustain 8 lb. Snickers bars and other abominations.

I've always been convinced that when stuff like this disappears it's because there was something very wrong with them and they killed a few people and we just weren't told about it. Like those breakfast bars from the eighties that just went away even though they were hugely popular. They were probably poison.

According to former Mars executive Alfred Poe, PB Max was discontinued due to the Mars family's distaste for peanut butter, despite $50 million in sales.
