I’ve actually wondered kind of the opposite. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so heavily pushed before. They were non-existent one moment and simply packed into every single ‘impulse aisle spot’ the next.
It seemed like an attempt to create a classic strictly through advertising…
I would think that Hershey’s would have more than enough floor sweepings to handle the demand for “Take 5” bars.
Because that’s sure what they taste like. Blech.
It lasted all of a month in the vending machines at work, before it was punted for something at least semi-edible. So, yeah, I can see it not being a big mover at WalMart and so dropped.
What hype? I mean, the Take 5 bars are honestly a pretty good candy idea. Chocolate, peanut butter, caramel, and pretzels - they’re basically chocolate-covered pretzels on steroids. And who doesn’t like chocolate-covered pretzels? Admittedly, the pretzels could use a little more salt, but that’s a common problem was mass-market chocolate-covered pretzels.
