All the old candy bars that I used to love while growing up in the 1970s are now together in one nostaligic collection called, "Big Tips Candy Collection".The new "limited-edition" collection contains 15 childhood favorites including:
Christopher's Big Cherry
Pearson's Bun Bar
Necco Clark Bar
Goo Goo Cluster
Owyhee Idaho Spud Bar (my Dad's favorite)
Boyer Mallo Cup
Brown & Haley Mountain Bar
Pearson's Nut Goodie
Owyhee Old Faithful
Peanut Chews
Annabelle's Rocky Road
Pearson's Salted Nut Roll
Necco Sky Bar
Palmer Twin Bing Candy Bar
U-No
To top it off, each box contains a nifty coloring book starting Tippy Tapperton, the porcupine whose cartoonish face graces the box cover. The suggested retail price is $20.00.
You can buy it online from Big Tips Candy.
You don't need that collection to get Goo Goo Clusters! They never went away, they've been produced on a steady basis right here in Nashville for years and years.
ReplyDeleteHowever, they were recently looking for a new VP of Sales and Marketing. I'm guessing there's a good reason why. Perhaps no one outside the state of Tennessee eats or can even buy them!
I think what makes the collection "limited edition" is the coloring book since the collection for Big Tips hasn't changed in a couple of years (that I know of).
ReplyDeleteI found that the 99 Cent Only and Dollar Tree have been carrying the Goo Goo Cluster - which I think is my favorite next to the Peanut Chews in that collection. (But I haven't tried the Mountain Bar yet.)
I LOVE Big Tips Candy. I bought the collection and discovered some amazing new favorites. Anyone had the PB Mountain Bar? I found out that indeed all the candy bars are available but they are hard to find! That Big Tips Candy Collection makes a perfect present (shoulda seen Dad on Father's Day!) and they make a good party treat. Forget cheese, lay a few bars out on a cutting board and see what happens to the crowd. I hope they don't change the bar line up anytime soon cuz it is perfect. Dig it.
