I was unable to locate a good, zoomable image of the Seven Up Dark wrapper with the white lace borders to see if that particular one had different fillings from the other Seven UP Dark wrapper. > > Butterscotch Caramel > Butterscotch > Caramel > Milk Caramel > Cherry Cream > Fudge > Fruit Jelly > Fruit Jell (OK, probably same as Fruit Jelly) > Orange Jelly > Jelly > Raspberry Jell (NOT jelly) > Nougat > Coconut > Coconut Cream > Butter Cream > Brazil Nut > Pudding > Chocolate Pudding > Mint > Maple > Walnut > Maple Walnut > Vanilla Cream > Triple Vanilla Cream > Roasted Peanut Sadly I can no longer find the article to quote or cite, but about 10 years ago I read that the candy makers first started substituting different fillings on the 7-up bars due to product shortages and price increases. The public responded so positively to the change up that they continued to change up the fillings on a regular basis. ---

> [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > Oh, yeah, Sugar Daddies. Rip your teeth straight out of your jaw, even worse than Bit-O-Honey. > > On a road trip to Cape Breton last summer, I was reacquainted with **Mackintosh’s Toffee** , a fond memory of childhood trips to the south shore of Lake Huron in Ontario. Also a dentist’s dream, but delicious enough to be worth every miserable cavity. There were also Sugar Babies (made by the same folks who made Sugar Daddies). They were small bite size pieces of terror that like their “Daddy” could rip out fillings down to the root. One Halloween when I was very young I overdosed on those things and wound up with 8 cavities. ---

A recent victim of the disappearing sweets trend is Kozy Shack Vanilla pudding. Sublime. It suddenly vanished. I called the company and they told me it is now only sold to “institutions” . Schools and Prisons. ---

> [@Qadgop\_the\_Mercotan](#): > > I went to Meijer’s yesterday too, and could not find the damn things. I’ll have to inspect the M&M area more closely. Today’s visit was more productive, those bags of Bun Bar minis, with Maple, Vanilla, and Salted Caramel were located and acquired. A nice taste from the past, in a manageable portion size too! ---

> [@NDP](#): > > Except Reggie Bars had peanuts and $100,000 Bars didn’t. Incidentally, I’ve kept an intact Reggie Bar in my freezer for 36 years. What’s your offer for it?😃 I don’t recall peanuts in Reggie Bars at all. It’s been longer than I thought. I’ll pass on the 36-year old Reggie Bar. That’s past even a Twinkie’s expiration date! :eek: ---

I just remembered Lipton used to make a Tomato Cup A Soup. My mother loved it and ate it constantly. She was very disappointed when they discontinued making it. ---

I loved this candy as a kid and it had been discontinued, but because of this thread, I searched for it and it has been re-introduced! [Regal Crown Sour Cherry.](https://www.amazon.com/Regal-Crown-Hard-Candy-Rolls/dp/B01A7MH10W) ---

> [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > Chocolite candy bar > Product 19 cereal They just recently stopped making P19. I bought some at the Woodmans right before it was discontinued. There are other brands that are identical but I’ll always miss the retro looking box!☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lost-snacks-of-your-childhood/825196.md?page=6)
