Punch candy was my favorite candy as a kid in the 70's, I have been trying to find it for years. I think it was made in Argentina and I also thought it used to say foreign candy company on the label. I have never been able to find it though.

My first encounter with punch was back in 1988, Atlanta, GA. I went with a co-worker to a candy store (wholesaler/distributor?) I purchased a case/box of this highly addictive candy and demolished it within a week. I thought I was the only one who still remembered this delicious candy! Has it been discontinued?

I am not sure if my last comment took. Anyhow, Punch candy was the best. I am always looking for it. I would love to find it again. They were my favorite candies growing up. Last time I bought them was around 1983. I hope to find them someday.

I can't believe people remember this! I loved this stuff and ate it by the pound. I remember it came in 2 different sizes and both were squares. It had a very colorful wrapper. I remember it had a sharp inset in the middle (not a flat wafer on the side). I periodically look for this. I can't believe other people want it too! I knew I wasn't crazy! Tell me how to find it, please? The last time I had it was about 1975. I watched the third Saturday Night Live (Richard Pryor hosted) at a spend the night, eating Punch candy. Send me a source if possible: IAM1800Bugs@hotmail.com

I guess nobody else has found Punch candy either. We all are talking about the same rectangular, colorful, addictive candy. It was my favorite as well. I last saw it around the end of the 70's - would love to find it again. Anyone else remember the manufacturer?

I loved, loved, loved Punch. When I ask the other 40 something friends of mine if they remember it, they don't?! It was my favorite. That, and the Nabisco Heyday Bars! Can't find either of them anymore. YUM........

I too remember this candy from when I was a child. I have been searching periodically on the internet and have had no such luck. Not that many people seem to remember this candy. I DO!

I remember this candy from the 70's, it was my favorite, and I have been looking for it as well. I do remember it as named: Punch and it was wrapped in a yellow wrapper - long and narrow with the candy stacked against one another. Square in shape, with ridges on both sides of the candy. Sort of like looking into a box on each side. Anyone finds such, let me know: dabeancounter@hotmail.com Thanks Christine

**** NEWS FLASH **** Punch Candy from the 70's **** Ok, so i had to do a little more research. I tried Googling: Foreign Candy, Argentina Candy, Punches Candy, Nostalic Punch Candy and then the word of all destruction: "DISCONTINUED CANDY". I hate to be he bearer of bad news (I probably won't sleep well tonight) but this website is just one example of a list of discontinued candy: http://www.thecandycompany.com/discontinued_items.shtml I hate to tell everyone this, and I wish it wasn't true, but our favorite all time candy "Punch Candy" is DISCONTINUED. :*( sorry for the bad news. I guess we can all stop looking now....boo-hoo-hoo :*( Christine

Christine...you broke my heart! I LOVED PUNCH candy ever since I was a kid. The wrapper was even cool. with its bright yellow and multi colored polka dots all over...and each end was white. I went back and forth between PUNCH and PEZ...and PUNCH won...but I guess PEZ really won. How sad! If anyone ever finds a wrapper or old sleeve of PUNCH...let me know...I'd love to have it to at least show my kids that GREATEST candy there ever was! : (
