I remember the 7-up bar well, as a youngster. I have mentioned this to several of my old childhood friends recently. Seems no one remembers but me. It was only available at the movie theatres in my town. The Drive-In and the walk-in. I can almost taste that big ol’ Brazil nut with chocolate wrapped arouind it now.

OH my gosh. I have talked, searched and yearned about these candy bars for years. No candy bar today can even begin to touch it. It was like having a whole box of chocolates in a single candy bar. I got mine at our local dime store. If you want more information I suggest going to http://www.pearsonscandy.com/faq.aspx

I would have liked to try this candybar ( 7 UP bar) Unfortunately, my family doesnt remember this candybar in stores. Not sure why 7 Up stopped the production. sounds like the ingredients might have been too pricey or time consuming .

I also have fond memories of this candy bar, but unlike Bonomos taffy the seven up bar will most likely never return. 7-up doesn’t make candy, so they will never make it. Most candy companies, especially the smaller ones, aren’t about to start production without the rights to the name. I’m sorry to say it’s just a memory, but it is. This was my Moms favorite, but just for the Brazil nut! She’d get the Brazil nut piece and give the rest to me. Thanks Mom, I loved the orange jelly piece best.

I am 59 and grew up in Northern California, Humboldt Co. and would get this great candy bar at the local storein the early 60′s. I last found one in a 7-11 in the late 80′s in Texas. I have returned many times to that 7-11 hoping to find more of the Seven-up bar. I am deeply disappointed that they are no longer being made. My favorite part was the WHOLE bar, every delicious and unique square.
Many a time I have told people about this candy bar just to be laughed at. Thank you for this article. I too wish it would make a come back so more generations of children could have the memories I have.

It is wonderful that so many people have the same memory I have of my childhood favorite candy bar. They had it at the theatre we went to in Chattanooga, Tennessee in the fifties and sixties. I remember sitting in the dark in the Saturday matinee biting off each section at a time. The brazil nut was always last, and I would keep it in my mouth for a long time. What a great trip down memory lane!

I got goose bumps reading these reviews. My father was a long distance truck driver who began bringing the wonderful 7Up bars home in the late 50′s from trips to the midwest. Sometime in the 60′s we began to see them in North Carolina gas stations and stores and we were thrilled. I remember them just as everyone is describing and yes, they were more square then they were long and narrow and there was a milk and dark chocolate but the dark were hard to find. Can’t wait to get to heaven so I can sit down and have one along side my father……

Not one person I know believed me about this candy – it was my favorite and nobody remembered it. Thisis validation! I have printed this out to show the doubters and early Alzheimer candidates.

BTW – I always gave away the maple piece – did not like maple!

Thank you! Thank you!
