Something made me remember it and I described it to my husband and asked him if he remembered it. He said he loved it but he couldn’t remember the name either, so I researched it on Ask.com and it brought me to this site. All I could remember was that it had a brown wrapper and it was around the 1960’s. YES! I remember now. It was my favorite candy bar when I was a kid. I didn’t get candy often, but I loved the Seven Up bar! I used to eat it very slowly letting it melt in my mouth. Too bad they don’t make it anymore. I believe it would be a big hit if they used the same recipe; everyone likes quality.

I loved the seven-up bar. When we moved to Canada I discovered a similar bar called The Treasure Bar that had 6 little chocolate pockets in a bar made by Neilson.It was discontinued in the late 70′s.

Not my absolute favorite, but I did like them and would give a lot to have one again. Trouble is, they would have gone out of business eventually anyway. Seven quality fillings in real milk chocolate would have become prohibitively expensive to make.

OMG. The Seven Up Candy Bar was my favorite. My grandparents owned a toy store in Clarksdale, MS and my grandfather had a small candy shelf on the counter. He always stocked this candy because it was my favorite. The orange filling was #1 and coconut was #7, but no matter what, I had to have one, and had to eat it one section at a time. I am 53, and for 40 years I have wanted one.

I loved Seven Up bars. I used to buy them at the trading post at summer camp. What great memories. I’m with you…bring them back. Maybe I can get my culinary student daughter to revive them?

Yum! The highlight of my long summer vacations as a child was walking the around the block with my eye in the gutter of the street hoping for at least a dime (for candy) and a penny (for tax) that I could spend at our Little Store on the corner of my block. The Seven Up bar was just one of the MANY choices of novelty candies that we used to enjoy in the 70′s. I drove the store ladies nuts with my money in hand debating over which yummy candy I would get for the day. Now we’re only left with the big corporation candies at the supermarket. Little candy companies and Little Stores are no more. :( Now, I’d give anything to remember the candy that fizzed in your mouth like soda pop, and no it was not Bottle Caps! We also had candy cigarettes and those wax filled soda bottle shaped bottles filled with a bit of juice. Those really sucked, but you had to get them for the novelty.

It was in the early 70′s when I found them. Was a pharmacy called Baker willaford’s in Nederland Texas. It was on the corner of Nederland Avenue.

I use to walk to the drug store to get these. I think it was the Pearson company who use to make these. I’m not sure? I sent them an email one time, and told me something about the seven up company. They also sent me a box of their candy. I wish they would bring these back, but give it a different name.
