Sky Bars memories...
I vividly remember Necco Sky Bars, growing up as a kid in
OHIO fifty years ago! In fact, yesterday, when some were passed out at work, as
an inservice prize, I sang the whole commercial: Just when you think you know all there is about the man that you've been married to for almost 50 years you learn something new. Going down the *remember when we were kids and our favorite candy trail* we discovered that back in the 40's and 50's the candy bar we always had to buy at the movies was the Sky Bar. We both ate each section carefully so that the other parts remained whole and we both saved the best part for last... the caramel because that was our very favorite! ~ Dorothy from New York In 1957, when I was 9 years old, the Sky Bar was considered the coolest candy bar ever... Each nugget of chocolate contained a different flavor, guaranteed to invoke envy among classmates when taking it out of my lunchbox. Okay, I didn't have one often, but when I did... I felt like the Luckiest Kid in 4th grade! Back then, candy bars were a "treat" -- which is as it should be. Kids today have no concept of a once-in-a-while goodie or a special reward of a Sky Bar from a favorite adult relative. But, oh, how I do! ~ Diane from Maryland When we were kids, we had very little money so it was a grand treat when my grandfather would come to visit. I remember walking up to Joe's Spa with my brothers and sisters and holding that one dollar bill tightly in my hand. My favorite was always the Sky Bar. It was like having four candy bars in one. I would savor each piece since I knew I would wait for my grandfather's next visit to enjoy my next Sky Bar. ~ Margaret from Pennsylvania |
