Description
While the Seven-Up bar was indeed sold into the early 1070s, it dates back even earlier. I remem ber walking to the corner store in the early 1960s and buying a Seven-Up bar. Orange Jelly, Maple, Caramel, Brazil Nut, Fudge, Coconut and white cream (The Brazil Nut was dropped in the 70s shortly before the candy bar disappeared. I don't remember what replaced it.) A wonderful candy bar which left us sometime in the Summer of 1972. I remember stopping by the old corner grocery while driving somewhere and buying the last Milk chocolate and last dark chocolate seven-up bar to be had.

I loved 7-up bars! My father sold them in his service station in the 60s. They were my favorite growing up, like getting 7 candies in one. I am not surprised that the Brazil nut was finally dropped as that section was immediately disposed of and then the rest savored. My favorite part was the orange jelly which was saved for last. I see that it is not included in the Skybar which is advertized as being the same as the 7-up bar. Not the same without the jelly section! Would love to see the original produced again.

Folks keep saying the Seven Up bar became the Sky Bar, but not so. The Sky Bar was always a separate candy bar, manufactured in the 1930's and by a totally different company, Necco, and they are still being made today, the same 4 sections. The Seven Up bar was bought by the 7-Up Bottling Co. so they could have the rights to the name; they then retired the bar to the sadness of millions of Seven Up bar lovers like me! Trudeau Co. made the Seven Up bar, not Necco. So, enjoy a Sky Bar and just hope someone comes back with the Seven Up bar, one of the best candy bars I ever ate!

Ahhhhh .... the 7 UP bar. In Syracuse, NY, in the late 50's my brother & I would go to the drug store when we had a nickel to buy a candy bar. The 7 UP bar offered more variety than the Sky Bar (although sometimes that is what I bought), even though I always wound up giving the jelly piece of the bar to my brother. The fun was in breaking up the bar into the seven pieces --- somehow it seemed as though you got more that way. Every so often I find a childhood candy I enjoyed (such as a Mallo Cup), but mourn the loss of the beloved 7 Up bar, Mason Mints, and the Three Musketeers bar that had the scored marks to help you break it into three pieces.

I loved the Seven Up bar. I recall my father would bring me one every Friday when he came home from work. This was in the mid 60's in California.

Simply my favorite as a kid growing up in Iowa - I can't believe they stopped making them in 72 - I wonder if the last of them got sold there because I grew up in a small town and remember going to buy them right up to 76 or so - around Jr. High age. My next favorite was the Pearson's Salted nut roll. Both were purchased either at the small snack shop at the swimming pool, or on the way home at the "Corn Crib" which was a real corn crib converted to sell candy an popcorn!

The 7-UP candy bar was my favorite. I have missed it and thought of this candy since it dissapeared. I remember playing 7 up with a tennis ball bouncing it off my garage door when I was young. The 7-UP candy bar inspired me to play this game. I ate the candy sometimes as I played 7 up. What a great loss, along with the banana dream snack cakes that I also loved. I think they were made by a company called Micky?

I loved these, when we would travel to my grandparents. Dad would stop for a "sack full of junk" at the convenience store, and I always got a 7-UP Candy bar. I would love to enjoy one today!

They must have been making them later than 1972; I have distinct memories of riding my bike to the corner store to get a Seven-Up bar when I was in 5th grade or so. This was in Ft. Collins, Colorado, around 1978-79.

I loved this candy bar -- evne the "look" was cool. I remember a more squarish/rectagular bar rather than traditional "long" bar, and two wrapper colors -- medium brown and black -- maybe milk chocolate v. dark chocolate. When I was a pre-teen (c: 1965) my uncle, who owned a restaurant, gave me a wholesaler's box of each variety -- all to myself!

Only my mom got to eat the 7 Up bar - she'd send my brother and I to 7/11 with a dollar, and we'd buy everything we wanted - flips, taffy, black cows, the works, but only SHE was allowed to have the 7 up bar. We hated the orange jelly anyway!

I recall seeing the Seven-Up bars in a Minneapolis drug store between 1977 - 79. Very good, and much missed!

The first time I ever saw a 7 Up bar was at the train station in Chicago when I was 6 years old. My dad bought it for me, no doubt to keep me quiet on the long ride back home to Georgia. I looked in vain for years all over town trying to find another one of those incredible candy bars and was just about convinced I had imagined it. Then one day when I was 10, I saw them for sale at a local convenience store of all places. I begged money from my mom and managed to get enough to buy 2 of them, it was the happiest day of my life! Sadly, the next trip to the same store proved awful. The nice older man who ran the place informed me they had stopped making them and I had probably gotten the last two 7 Up bars of my life on my previous trip. Lucky for me I had saved the wrappers and when I got home I took them out and smelled the rich chocolate smell which clung to the cellophane. I still love the memory of biting into the segments, all were delicious and each one had a different treat inside. If the 7 Up Company or whoever owns them now would start making them again, I’m sure they would make a fortune!

The orange jelly was my favorite part of the bar while the maple was my least favorite.

Wow, my mother used to hide Seven-up Bars in her purse. When she was in a rare good mood she would give us one. It was our favorite treat back in the 70's I miss them and wish the Seven-up Bar would come back. If it does, I will start eating candie again!

My friends and I (all in our 40s and 50s now) were just talking about the 7-Up bar the other day at a lunch date and all of us wondered whatever happened to our favorite 7-Up candy bar, so I decided to do an internet search and found this site. Whomever said that if they came out with these bars again, they'd make a fortune, I think you're probably right. Amazing all the people who loved that candy bar and still have fond memories of it.
