Description
This was my all time favorite candy bar and I have not heard anything about it in a long time. It was two bars ( like a 100,000 dollar bar) both covered in chocolate with rice crispies but they had peanut butter inside instead of caramel. The wrapper had a stoplight on it and I barely remember the commercial where someone wanted a snack,a traffic cop said "go ahead" and the cars started to go thinking he meant them and almost run him over. Kind of dumb, but these candy bars were the best.

I also loved this candy bar and have been wondering about it for some time now. I searched hometownfavorites.com, a website that is supposed to provide info on hard-to-find foods, but I had no success. I can't believe that there's no info out there about this wonderful candy bar!
I LOVED THESE CANDY BARS TOO.I SEARCHED HOMETOWNFAVORITES.COM TOO BUT COULDNT FIND THEM.WISH I COULD
I remember that candy bar too! I had vitamins in it or something but I tasted great! and the commerical I remember is a abbott and costello
who's on first take-off.
Does anybody remember the "Abbott & Costello" commercial for this candy bar? Great stuff!
I remember them fondly as well. I remember they were more expesive then most candy at the time. I think the advertising angle of them being 'healthy' just didnt fly well at the times. I used to love them tho, but you cant find any info on them on the net at all.
I also remember this candy bar. I remember on the wrapper that "go" was green and I believe the "ahead" was red with a + between them? I do remember they had vitamins and also more expensive. But as usual good things as a kid have fallen by the wayside. To bad we all couldn't live as it used to be. We grew up in a world where all was right by us at the time.
Does anyone remember "SUMMIT" candy bars?.... they were wafery with nuts on top covered in chocolate
I too was a big fan of Go Ahead bars. And, I remember Summit bars too. Go Ahead was a Nestle product and Summit bars, I believe, were made by M&M/Mars. They should both be brought back to market!
Little known fact that, for a while in the late 70's, in some markets, it was sold as the $20,000 bar.
Yes, Jaybird I remember Summit candy bars. I even
remember the commercial jingle "Summit, it's peanuts wafers and Light!"
