All HAPPY! My Dad would always let us buy one candy bar when we went for long trips and this was my choice every time! I too remember the Orange Jelly..it was unlike any other Orange Jelly candy out there! Maybe we should forward this string to the 7-up company and request a comeback! I was just saying that I would buy it no matter what the cost!! Nostalgia...you gotta love it! Oh the memories that you have just brought back into my life! All HAPPY!

It's called Cadbury Snack. Here is a bit from Wikipedia: 'The Australian Snack is a bar with six chunks, each filled with a different flavour: strawberry, pineapple, orange, coconut ice, Turkish Delight and caramel.' Also they aren't all a "chunk" of chocolate. The pinapple "chunk" of chocolate. The pinapple is pinapple shaped, the Turkish Delight is a dome with lines and they all have like patterns and stuff on them. Here is a picture: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_TrN5sEZn90o/SgB8keKD2gI/AAAAAAAAJvo/DpMKzu9koCA/s400/IMG_0150.JPG It's only got four flavours in the picture. I can't remember the first one, but the second is Turkish Delight, the third is strawberry and the last one MIGHT be caramel. I can't remember them, ever, only a few, but I love them all!

I thought about this and searched for it by putting "7 flavors in one candy bar" and found this. Finally! Just like the rest of you, I mentioned this and no one remembered it. After all these years I wondered if I found some magic candy bar that no one else in the world ate. Thank you so much for finding this....I can show my brother that I'm not a nutcase...lol. I did remember the name and also thought they had to get rid of it because of the soft drink. This was the most super delicious fantastic candy bar in the world. I wish they'd bring it back.

The Seven up bar was my favorite also. Every time I see a bag of Bridge Mix, I buy it and reminise about the orange jelly, Brazil nut, maple, carmel, coconut, fudge and cherry pieces of the seven up bar. Thanks for the memories of these...they were great!

The old Seven Up with the brazil nut was my favorite also. Had two squares on each end and the brazil nut in middle with a long narrow piece on each size of nut. Awesome. Fun reading these posts.

I was just hoping I could find one of those retro candy stores that sold it. Did not know about the 7-up story, that was interesting. I agree, it's to bad our kids do not get to share in the experience of such a yummy candy bar. It is fun though to go back in time to relive those special memories! How I loved this candy bar!!!

As soon as I tasted it, my mouth said,"I have tasted this before, a long time ago." I thought it was from a 7-Up bar, but wasn't sure until I googled it and found this site. I too vote for it to come back!!! All the stores in little old Traer, Iowa sold it way back when!!!

He remembers them well. I wish I could get my hands on one and give it to him. I bet his face would light up. I would also like to try it. I am too young to have had one.

This was during the 60's and 70's and of course that was the SEVEN-UP candy bar. I remember it in the milk chocolate only. I don't remember the dark chocolate. It was the best candy bar made. Just like the 7oz green glass bottles of the the drink 7up, the best soda ever made, I would love to have it again. I read some of you other comments, and I don't blame the original 7up company for the loss of the candy bar they changed owners several times just like the candy bar.

I also remember the ones I got were dark chocolate. I bought them at Central Drug Store in Norfolk, VA in the early 60's. Thanks for recalling what all the centers were - I had forgotten them except I did remember the distinctive jellied orange! I was also wondering if I was the only person to remember these bars. Thanks to my daughter, who found this web site!! Like John, I remember the Seven-up Bar being more square. I also remember the ones I got were dark chocolate.
