I saw this and had to chuckle. I remember the Lemon and chocolate flavors only because my cousin and I got into my Aunt's boxes 'cause we thought they were creme wafers. How did anyone lose weight on these, they were full of sugar?

I loved these bars. My mom would eat these all the time. We used to sneak some out of the box. I would love to find some. Please let me know, if I can buy them anywhere...

I agree, these were soooo good! They tasted so good. The lemon flavor were excellent. I would buy them if they were stil available.

My aunt always had the vanilla. I loved them!! There is no way anyone lost weight with these, they were too yummy.

I ate these as kid with my granmother. I was addicted. Vanilla was my favorite. I heard they were bad for you is why they quit making them. I would buy them now if I could.

Me and my sisters used to sneak them from our Mom! She would let us have them sometimes too. Chocolate and Vanilla were awesome!!!!

Man I wish I knew where to buy them. I loved them growing up. I remember when I got my first job and would buy them instead of candy bars. Like someone said they tasted like wafers. Let's all write Pillsbury and ask them to bring them back.

I E-MAILED PILLSBURY. I ASKED IF THEY WOULD CONSIDER BRINGING THEM BACK. WE'LL SEE. THEY WERE GREAT. EPECIALLY THE CHOCOLATE FLAVOR.

If ppl lost weight on these, it'd because they replaced a meal with it. If one ate 300 calories of granulated sugar for a meal (or butter, for example), one would still lose weight. They were not low in fat either. Not healthy, but that's why they tasted so good.

I was surfing on the net to see if they made these any more. They were SO Yummy! I thought there was a strawberry one, but maybe I'm thinking vanilla... My grandmother had these as well, and would give them to me as a snack. Miss them terribly!

These didn't seem to be a quality diet product to me. I think the deal was that they contained added vitamins and minerals, and candy bars, pop tarts and the like didn't have anything added. It seems like a stupid idea today, but then I just saw an energy bar at the convenience store today selling for $5. And it's just a big, glorified candy bar. Oh, and Figurines tasted great. They were kind of expensive for our budget, so we didn't get them often.

I used to love the Caramel-Nut flavored Figurines. I would freeze them and eat them for breakfast with a cup of hot tea. For me it had nothing to do with dieting, they just tasted so darn good! I wish they were still available, I'd buy them in a second.

I was addicted to figurines 25 years ago. I was in great shape and ate them by the box fulls, they were my dessert (hehe). I was telling my daughter about them (cuz I'm on a diet and wanted to see the nutritional value), but couldn't find them and didn't remember seeing them in a really long time. I did a web search and found this blog. I am sad to see they aren't in production anymore, but I will email Pillsbury too. Everyone here should do that and see what happens.

MMMMM, chocolate mint was my favorite. Whatever happened to them, and WHY (oh, why) can't they bring them back??!!!

my favorite was the vanilla, with a hot cup of coffee in the morning they were great!!and yes they did have added vitamins in them .and i hid them just for me...lol i would love to have them back. i will contact pillsbury also

I loved the chocolate ones. I would put them in my swim bag then eat it as a snack by the pool once it was good and soft. Does anyone remember the Breakfast Squares? Thay were sort of like a brownie but really dry and powder like. SOOOO good.

I am a personal trainer and one of the trainers that I work with was eating what looked like a Figurine. I mentioned this to her (she is only 21) and she laughed and said there is no way such a thing existed. I HAD to do a search to find some information to prove to her they were real. How funny. I can't wait to show her this tomorrow. I only wish I had a picture.

I've been hunting for them too online. They were great tasting...especially the caramel nut ones. I ate 6 of them a day along with a regular evening meal and lost 80 lbs. in one year without the added benefit I'm sure I would've received exercising. They were a lot less expensive than the protein/diet/fiber bars on market today and certainly more filling and tastier.

WOW! I agree with every sentiment I've just read. It's been at least 20 yrs since I've had a Vanilla Figurines bar - and I remember exactly what they tasted like...pure heaven! Today I was eating natural almonds and just for a moment I had that Vanilla Figurines flavor - hence finding this blog. Maybe I'll start a petition and forward to Pillsbury.

I lost 50 lbs. in 4 months on Figurines in 1978. They came in packs of 2 and I would eat one every 3 to 4 hours and supplement it with a couple of V8 juices and vitamins. I used them in place of a meal. Chocolate was my favorite and I liked to keep them in the refrigerator. Bring them back!

I LOVED figurines!!! I've contacted Pillsbury with hopes they would bring them back. I loved them as well as Carnation Breakfast Bars (also discontinued)-YUM! If you liked the taste of the vanilla Figurines, try the Pepperidge Farm French Vanilla Pirouette's- obviously there not low cal or anything but they taste SO similar. It's a throw back and will bring back memories.

a lot of people asked how you could lose weight on these. i lost 130 pounds in the late 70's. i did it by eating figurines or slender bars for lunch and sensibly at the other two meals. they definitely worked for me and i wish they'd bring them back.

I miss them so much, it seems everyone does, I've had fun reading everyone's comments, when I try to explain to my younger coworkers they don't have a clue. I also remember the ABBA shakes, they were awesome.However Figurines were the Best!

I never ate Figurines, but as a kid, I definitely remember their commercial on TV. A BEAUTIFUL girl singing "For every chocolate you resist.... Figurines are sweet revenge...."

In the '70s, I lost a lotta weight with Figurines & diet cola. That combo really filled me up. I wish Figurines were still available. Are they, on some retro food site? I hope so.

Does anyone remember the full lyrics. I can't find them, although the internet says they will send the ring tones for a fee.

These are the lyrics as I remember them: Figurines, for a lady proud They're the diet lunch that you can crunch outloud Figurines, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch! They're the most exciting kind of diet lunch My shape belongs to Figurines!

I loved these bars and remember my mom having them. We have looked high and love for them. I remember the vanilla and the chocolate mint. They were such a good snack. Now as a mom of 2 they would be great as a quick breakfast, yum, I miss them.

figurines lyrics as i remember: figurines do a lady proud...they're the diet lunch that you can crunch out loud figurines help keep you as you are...with a calorie rate- one thirty eight a bar!

OMG!! I Loved figurines! They were the best snack food ever...tasted really good...I found some really old box at a local small town called kemps food, like in the 90's! They totally need to bring figurines back!!!

these were my moms favorites as well... i always sneaked one ;o) And just the other day, while ordering snack supplies for my office, i came across the Vanilla Balance Bar 100 Calories - I SWEAR IT TASTES EXACTLY LIKE I REMEMBER THE FIGURINES BARS!! Someone else, please check them out and weigh in.. :o)

My Mom was always dieting and my sister and I got hooked on her Figurines. I loved the Vanilla. They were so good. I remember buying them in the late 80's when I first moved from home, not because I needed to diet, but because they tasted so good! I wish they would bring them back.

I also remember that Figurines girl in the ad when I was a kid, and she definitely was a looker. Wish someone would post the ad on youtube. Lyric I recall "For every cream-pie you pass by, (something something).... Figurines are sweet revenge....For every chocolate you resist.... Figurines are sweet revenge...."

For ev'rything that you pass by, Banana splits or lemon pie, New Figurines are swee--eeet re-venge! For every chocolate you reist, Or trouble for a danish twist, New Figurines are swee-eeet re-venege!

FIGURINES, I LOVED THEM! I used to raid my Mom's stash. I loved the Chocolate Mint. I wish they'd bring them back. They were soo good.

OMG! I lost 30 lbs in high school on these (of course I was only eating one of these and 2 diet cokes a day). Not the healthiest way to lose weight I know, but I'd kill for a chocolate mint figurine today. Wish they'd bring them back.

Smores was my favorite. I used to eat those daily! The grahm flavored wafer was more like burnt brown sugar caramel, but was still a wonderful flavor combination with the chocolate coating and the uniquely delicious toasted marshmallow flavored creme filling. YUMMMM, I REALLY WANT A BOX OF THEM!!!

My Aunt was constantly on a diet! She would buy Tab Diet drinks and Figurines by cases! I loved the vanilla and the chocolate ones. I remember my mom saying the took em off the shelves a few years ago I too wish they would bring em back!

I agree with everyone else! These things were so delicious. I was a little kid when my mom was eating them in the '70s, but I remember stealing bites of them and I thought they were one of the best things ever.

OMG..were those figurines just the best tasting things around..I remember my mom god rest her sole bringing home the chocolate with coconut on top.Was so funny how my sister and I just a few days ago started taking about these.Were we disapointed to find out we were unable to find these anywhere on the net..I see they would make a big come back with this item..

All I could say is ...PILSBURY....PLEASE BRING BACK THOSE FIGURINES BARS....IT WAS GREAT WITH COFFEE FOR BREAKFAST, THEN A WELL-BALANCED LUNCH, AND FOR DINNER,,,FIGURINE BARS WITH TEA..

Absolutely loved the chocolate mint Figurines, my children did too!! They used to sneak them out of the bottom of the box thinking that if the boxes were still sealed at the top, I wouldn't know that they had taken a bar or two!!! I too wish that Pilsbury would start making them again.

Never had them, but I remember the commercial, too! Figurines...help keep you as you are, with a calorie rate...138 a bar, figurines....

OMG!!!! i loved the vanillia ones!!!! please, please, please bring these back. all the diet bars out there now taste like crap!!!!

I miss them as well. I remember the Cheddar flavor. Wow, I wish they would bring them back.

A girl at work just mentioned these bars, and i loved them..so funny makes us stop and think how old we are getting!!! I think they are what killed the pilsbery dough boy!

I'VE BEEN READING A WHILE NOW AND NO ONE MENTIONED THE CHEDDER CHEESE ONES! NOT AS GOOD BUT..... WHEN YOU GET SICK OF SWEET STUFF THEY WHERE, AND STILL ARE THE ONLY BRAND THAT OFFERED YOU A CHOICE.UUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMM CHEDDER CHEESE AND A FRESH APPLE MADE A GREAT SACK LUNCH, BACK WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS FAT! WISH I LOOKED THAT GOOD NOW !!!

Nothing tasted like the caramel bars! Oh how I miss them!! Please, Pillsbury, bring them back!!! My figure belongs to figurines!!

They must have had several jingles. I was just a kid in the 70's but I remember the jingles as such: Figurines help keep you as you are, with a calorie rate one thirty eight a bar. I was just getting a nutri-grain bar and that song got into my head. I could not remember the name "Figurines" so I googled "with a calorie rate 138 a bar" and I got right here!! Sorry to say I never tasted them. Everything Pillsbury makes is delicious!!

I loved these and I actually lost about 50 pounds eating them.

Pillsbury PLEEEEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEEEEE bring them back!!!! I can taste the vanilla just by thinking about them!!!!!!!!!! Who cares if they are low fat or not?

How Funny! I tell people about Figurines and nobody knows what I'm talking about! I loved the Vanilla ones.. I use to eat them and drink a Tab! SOO wish Pillsbury would bring them back!!

Sung to the tune of Tangerine: Figurines...do a lady proud. They're the diet lunch that you can CERunch out loud. Figurines...crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, CRUNCH! With a low cal rate, 138 a bar. My shape belongs to Figurines! And that's all i can remember. I sure did love that ad.

I was just thinking about my favorite chocolate figurine bars. I filled out a 'find a product' from the Vermont Country store webpage. You can request them to find products that are discontinued or hard to find. I found them in a walgreens about 1996 and never seen them again. I too have emailed Pillsbury. Let's cross our fingers!

I ate these wonderful bars and lost weight to boot!! Please Pilsbury ! If you are listening bring them back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! I cant believe what I'm hearing, my mom used to eat these. We where talking about whatever happend to them. They kicked butt, now I am a mom and wish they still had them. My kids think I'm nuts and don't know what I'm talking about, if they only knew. who cares if they werent't healthy, compared to todays food they probably are now! I didnt know they had mint, I remember the red box. I laughed when I read all these, We all should have a group therapy together or have a sit-out at the pillsbury headquarters! LOL! Brininging them back would be awesome at least it would bring back some some good memorys of the good times. The good ole days!!

I remember eating these back in high school. I loved the chocolate ones right out of the fridge. I didn't even need to be on a diet. I just loved the way they tasted. Pillbury should bring the back as breakfast bars since they were really too sugar-y to be a diet bar.

Hello, my name is Laurie and I'm a Figurine-aholic. I ate them between the ages of 18-21 I think (I sure was thin back then, maybe because I would eat them as a meal!) So many yummy flavors - they did make a great dessert too and satisfied the sweet tooth. Maybe we should get a petition going and submit to Pillsbury!

Figurines were ok. Slender bars were much better!!!

I am amazed that so many people have such fond memories of Figurines! My mom used to use them and my sister and I LOVED them! I agree, my mom did have success with these bars and they tasted SOOOOO good! There was a certain "crunch" they had that I have never found since. I was hoping they were still made but after searching everywhere I can think of, I found out for sure they have been discontinued. I loved the chocolate flavor and there was one called chocolate caramel (I think?) that was absolutely to-die-for! I'm reading that Pillsbury made them - I do wish they would consider putting them back on the market - maybe even just as a snack item. They were terrific and I really miss them.

How funny... i've been racking my brain trying to remember the name of these things. i used to LOVE them. i think i was even addicted to them. lose weight on them? oh i dunno. but they were SO GOOD! too funny to see how many other people loved them too. my favorite was the plain vanilla variety. yep, wish they'd bring them back... don't even care if they're not on the diet aisle. why can't they just be a breakfast bar? can't be any worse than any other bar on the market! so much sugar and.. well, CRAP on the market these days. why not?!

OMG, I was such a fat kid and I ate these CONSTANTLY! Remember the mind ones with the little green flakes on the outside? I used to get them in my lunch box and trade one of them for real food, lol. I'd try to eat one layer at a time to make it last. So sad. I'd love to try one now!

I love how i look in my Gaberdines, so I fight for my figure with figurines. I wish I could remember the rest

Yes, Carole, I finally remembered the name of these things after about 2 weeks trying...I used to buy these when I was a teenager in the early 1980's-I remember the chocolate mocha with little shavings of fake chocolate sprinkled on top. That plus the Aids chocolate appetite supressants and Alba shake packets. Yup! I was so thin then. I lived on that crap. Hope we aren't sorry down the road-he he. Btw, Figurines were sold in a box about the size of your average granola bar. And I can almost remember the tv theme song, wasn't it akin to "Volare-whoa oh oh oh"??? "Fig-urines..."???? Funny.

Throughout my life I have battled weight issues, exept for my "Figurine" stage. I was a teenager in the 70's and my weight flutuated around 225 -250 (I am 5'3"). In 1976/77 I was on a strict "Figure" exclusive diet for almost 2 years and at one point got my weight down to less than 100 pounds. Those were the best days of my life - lots of dating and sex. Subsequently I suffered a lot of serious health issues. I have had my gall bladder removed and partial pancreas removal also I had 7 feet of my large intestine removed. I am diabetic and on renal dyalisis three times per week. Regretfully my weight is now over 375. But I fondly remember my "Figurine" days as the best of my life. I hope to one day get back to those times. "Figurines" could get me there - I am sure.

In the seventies, I lost weight on the vanilla figurines, and I felt great. Now I am 50 and need to lose weight. Figurines where are you? I wish they would come out with more figurines. I want to lose weight and stay healthy.

They were still making these in the mid-1980s, when I was a freshman in high school. I distinctly remember the commercial from the early and mid '70s, with the Mary Tyler Moore-looking brunette walking around and singing "138 a baaaaar..." That jingle has been stuck in my head for about 35 years now. "My shape belongs to Fig-ur-ines..."

I would love to see Figurines come back. In my twenties, I would eat one with a glass of milk everyday for lunch. I stayed thin - bring them back please.

I spent an afternoon in the gorgeous Hollywood home of Carla Borelli - the "Figurine" beauty, and her husband, Nick. They were family friends of my college roommate. I've always wondered what happened to her? I think she acted in soaps for awhile. I loved the bars. Vanilla with a cup of coffee. Yum!

Hello! I used to eat those Figurines for breakfast or lunch. But, literally, I oouldn't stand it when the Pillsbury Company used the tune of "Tangerine" for the commercial. Rats! Those jingles still drive both my father and me crazy!

I LOVED the Vanilla figurines back in the late 70's early 80's....Pillsbury really needs to bring these back, in fact they need to see this blog to see just how much they are missed! My 35 yr old daughter remembers sneaking into them when she was a kid...I really wish they'd come back!

My sister and I used to sneak these from my mom. I loved the vanilla ones, I would get in so much trouble for eating all of them. My mom finally just kept them put up in her room. I loved them wish they would come back.

I've never had one but my husband and his sisters still crave them to this day. Every time they bring up their childhood they mention the figurine bars. They would steal them from their mom and eat the entire box. lol I'd love to find them for their sakes. It sounds like most people feel the same way.

Omg!!!! I loved those figurine bars...and i did lose weight....also the Ayds diet chews ! remember those??? i lost 40 pounds!!!

I have often wondered about the figurines bars... I also stole them from my mother whenever I had the chance. I was just eating some of the new Keebler 10 Calorie Right Bites: Fudge Shoppe Fudge Dipped Pretzels and for a few bites, they had the crumbly goodness of the figurines "filling". I sometimes wish they would come back, and sometimes not because I would probably gain weight eating so many :)

I actually lost weight in 1978using figurine bars. I ate only figurines for breakfast and lunch and healthy dinner. I too have searched long and hard and I think I have found something similar! They are called Power Crunch protein bars 13g protein and 5g sugar. They taste so much like Figurines especially the special wafer crunch. It in a product of cananda. powercrunch.com Enjoy!!

I have been researching if Figurines are still on the market somewhere in the world. I am amazed at all these comments! When I was in high school (grad. 1978) I would have the Chocolate Mint not because I did not need to lose weight but because they tasted so good. Would love to have them now to be able to lose some weight!

I loved loved Figurines... I had been trying to remember the name of these for a long time too... These were so good.. I didn't need to lose weight or anything.. heck i was just a very young kid. My mom would buy these for me after I begged and begged..she'd try to tell me that it was a diet bar..but I didn't care.they tasted so good!! I loved Chocolate.. I wish they would make them again :(

I loved the vanilla! a little toasted coconut on the top. If i remember right they changed them before the went off the market and the change was not good. OMG!! I used to sneak the Ayds diet chews! I guess no one would buy them now with that name.

The closest thing I found to Figurines are protein bars by powercrunch.com. They are creme filled wafer bars - choc and vanilla. Not very healthy though but worth a good Figurine flash-back. Walgreens St. Louis has these now but probably not for long (12 grams of fat!).

i really liked the figurine diet bar. if theres anywhere i can find them i would like to know
