The Marathon Bar is gone but the Curly Wurly definitely takes it place. Each 0.9 oz bar is the same size as the original... 1 inch by 8 inches of braided caramel covered with milk chocolate. You will not be disappointed. A bag of 20 bars is $21.99

4. Those things are only edible if you freeze them, and then they're great

Check it out, greenbriar: throw one of those Curly Wurlies in the freezer as soon as they come in. About a day later, cut it into inch-long pieces and just set one on your tongue. Good stuff. If you try eating them un-frozen, you look like a dog with a mouthful of peanut butter.

5. oh that sounds good

I will try that with one of them

6. I always loved those peanut butter crunchy things that were called "Chick-O-Sticks"

They were a nickel for a big one.

Lately, I've seen then come up again at the tobacco store. For 25 to 50 cents for a really thin half a pencil one. Fuck that.

I also used to LOVE those candy necklaces, that you wore around your neck and could eat one morsel of candy at a time. I have not seen them since Christ left Chicago.

I am old. *sigh*

I have a friend bring back bags when he goes to Ireland twice a year. By the way they taste exactly like you remember.
